HARDINGS GENUINE
AMERICANISM

please tell us about what
Senator Harding said in his big
speech" 1t was Jack speaking,
as usual teasing his Uncle Ted
for a story.
81 couldn't possibly tell you
all he said tonight he answered,
"but if you and Ruth will pro-
mise to go to bed early tomor-
row remember what / told you
last week, now Mr.. Cox has stat
ed that he is going to fight forthe
World Club and how after his
talk with President Wilson it
was shown by the statement
both men made that Mr.. Wilson
had their talk and it was shown
to the world that if Mr.. Cox
were elected President Mr.. Will
son would still rule the country,
a great man has made great
speech.

ator Warren G.. Harding made
the open speech of his campaign

did he say he wanted the
World Club?" asked Ruth.
II should say NOTr answer
ed Uncle Ted. He knows, as
we all know, that we ust have
peace. But he is not willing to
have a peace at the cost of a
World Club. When Mr.. Hard
ing becomes President we will
have peace, and the right kind.
In his speech he said, 4 promise
you formal and effective peace
so quickly as a Republican Con
gress can pass its declaration
for Republican executive tc
sign In other words, if he had
been President when Congress
passed the resolution declaring
peace with Germany he would
not have refused to sign it as
did Woodrow Wilson. He will
not try to run the whole Govern.
ment without the advice of 9th
err big men, neither will he try
to run it with disregard of thu
Constitution of the United
States. On this point he said
No man is big enough to run
this great republic. There never
has been one. Such domination
was never intended. After Ion,

Europe and Asia and who will
wipe one-man government and
internatiorialism from the face
of Americas map and replace 1T
with the good old-fashioned nat
ionaIism that started when the
fathers wrote the Declaration OF
Independence. :,
Suppose, Riddles, that we had
not had men in the United
States Senate who refused to
see our country dragged into a
World Club. If there had not
been that band of Senators who
refused to approve the World
Club as Mr.. Wilson said it had
to be, we would undoubtedly be
saying Good Bye to thousands
of American boys starting to
Europe every few days to fight"
"To fight for what?" asked
Jack.
"To fight for Poland. The
Russian bolshevists, for Russia
is now ruled by bolshevists, have
trying to defeat and whip out
Poland. Poland was set up as
an Independent nation by the
treaty of peace and was former
ly a part of the Russian Empire.
Although they have now stop
ped fighting, under an armistice
such as stopped the great war on
November IL, 1918, the trouble
will not be settled so easily and
more fighting is sure to follow.
The Russians threaten to go in
to Poland with their armies, and
because Poland is a member of
the World Club the other armies
the World Club the other mem
bers must join in the fighting.
If we were a member of the
World Club today it might mean
that almost any time we would
have to send soldiers and money
to help Poland if the managers
of the Club told US to. When they
read Article X of the World
Club plan and heard Mr.. Wilson
say that this Article would
bind us to assist other members
of the Senate saw that the Unit
ed States would be bound to
send American boys to fight
foreign battles. So, in order to
guard against being drawn into
wars that do not concern us, the
majority of the Senate adopted
a resolution kept the United
States from all obligations. This
resolution kept the United Sta
ties in the same position it has
always occupied; that is, that
when the interests ofstl1e courl-
try demand our going to war we
can do so by act of Congress.

MUST NOT BE FORCED TO
DO SO UNDER A WORLD
CLUB.
$50, kiddies, when the Ameri-
can people go to the polls next
November to vote for President
they can declare that they favor
sending American boys overseas
to fight for foreign countries by
voting for Cox, or that they
want to keep out of quarrels
that don't concern us and return
to Government by the Constitu-
ton by voting for Harding"
'I'll bet they will vote for
Harding" said Jack.
Yes, Jack, the American
people want to see US governed
once again as the fathers intend
ed, and when Senator Warren
G. Harding is elected we can be
sure that one-man government
is at an end"
