 Explains Votes in Senate
 In stating his position on the league, Mir. Harding declared he had voted for ratification with reservations because that was the only way the senate could deal with the problem as 1t was pre- sented by the president. He outlined the argument in favor of the reserva- tions on mandates, withdrawals and article ten and said that all the Re- publican qualifications had been de- signed ito limit our obligation. not to make them clearer"
 The presidents proposal for 6 man date over Armenia, the candidate as- serted, had shown in striking fashion the wisdom of the Republican reserva- tions. He added that although ths United States sympathized deeply with Armenia, it could not afford to send an army of 10000 to 100000 there after Great Britain and France had taken all the desirable territory bor- dering on Armenia, leaving to Uncle Sam the starving and oppressed people of Armenia" q
 Quoting from a British publication which declared the United States was doing more than any other nation in world rehabilitation by it's contribu- tons to European relief. the nominee | said:
 That is the soul of America Talk
 about breaking the heart of the world.
 America Is healing the heart of the world. But even if the heart breaking
 tragedy were true, I would rather
 break the heart of the world than de-
 stroy the soul of American nation
 ality."
 Tn his discussion of party govern ment and the league. Senator Harding
 said:
 Wants Congress Behind Him
 T know pretty we'll that the Ameri- can people are thinking of calling the Republican party back to service in
 the nation. I have very strong con viction that you are going to elect a i Republican as president of the United , States. But I warn you don't do it
 unless you intend to put the Republi- |, can party in power in congress as well : as in the executive office T would not want to be your presi- dent unless you are going to give us a Republican congress to translate Re f publican promises into legislative
 enactment. It is very important to . have a majority in the United States t senate and you ought always to think : of the senate as saving to you your t 1 American liberty.
 s Don't be distressed about the so- . called senatorial oligarchy. There isn' kany. I think we would have succeeded this year in harmonizing the senate y into a completely useful thing if ii Y had not been for the interference of e the chief executive, who was not satis- . fled with running his own end of e Pennsylvania avenue.
 S Oh they say, you can't tell where = Harding stands on the league. Well . let's see if I can tell you where ] s stand. I am at least entitled to speak
 for myself. I have been speaking since . the 22nd of last July, and I challenge d any Democrat in America, high or low : to find contradiction in anything c have said
 o 'T said in the beginning that we q were opposed to an armed military all ' liance with the Old World, and I say . it now. l have said frequently, and y say now, that we are never going tc e have anything to do with league witl e article ten in it.
 America to Play Her Part T T have said repeatedly that Amer e lea does not intend to accept tha
 league. It is true, that as a member . of the United States senate, voted t, ratify the peace treaty and the league
 covenant with reservations. but yyher
 voted there were attached to tn, ,d covenant reservations to safeguard tn, f independence of the United States. n T have said from July 22nd to nov at and l repeat it to you and I know . speak what is in your hearts-Americ; ys means to play her part in a new rela se tionship among the nations of tn world.
 = America does not object; sh
 wants an association of nations ar America wants to bring the world con Id science to common understanding .s America wants to turn the light of tn 1e world opinion on probable controver re sies or causes. of conflict. Americi CT wants to join the nations of the worl ic Tn the promoting and preserving peace
 Il have not prescribed the specifi III thing because have not yet come int 1p authority. l do not pretend to pre- sY scribe the specific things myself . at one-man covenant is what brough ,r about the failure of the first atternp;
 l am not the sort of candidate who be nh heves he can run the world. I ar
 going to need help in the Unite
 States"
