New of Indiana, chairman of the Republican speakers committee.
 Senator New, after an all-day con ference with his aides. declared there was no possibility of Senator Harding abandoning his front porch campaign for a Transforming, tail-end special speaking trip"
 Despite repeated declarations that the nominee would confine his speech making largely in addressing visiting delegations at Marion, invitations con- tinue to pour in, Senator New said.

Beside Senator New those present in cluded Representative James w Good, in charge of the bureau here. and Mrs. Mary Jeter Allen, representing the women's division
 Senator New announced that with the exception of Maine, where the gen. eral elections are to be held September 13, the speaking campaign would not start in earnest before the middle of September.
 The invitation to present the Repub- lican views on the league of nations in a debate at Winona Lake. Ind, August g has been accepted, he said, and Gov lected as the Republican speaker. Sen ator Gilbert M. Hitchcock has been nominated to represent the democrats.
 Harding Talks To War Vets
 MARION, Ohio, Aug 5-A plea that future questions of peace and war be decided by the nations conscience and not by any council of foreign powers. was voiced by Senator Harding tocay in talk to a Spanish War Veterans reunion.
 Here in America" he said. we do not need any one to tell us what our obligation is. We can read it in our own conscience. I want to hold the American conscience strictly and sole ly American.
 T want America to play its part in the world but l do not want a council of foreign powers at any time, for any reason, to summon the sons of America to battle"
 It was a national spirit awakening to the defense of American rights, the
 
 try into both the Spanish war and the World war. and that always could be counted on to hold the republic secure He added that although underlying considerations of humanity had urged the United States into both con flicts it had required a physical in- fringement of national rights in each case to start the flame of war. Vets Cheer G. O. p. Candidate The talk was n.<de in response to | the clamorous demands of the vete- rans. After his speech they rendered an old camp fire song for him and sent him away with three cheers for Harding"
 A visit to the reunion came near the end of a day given over by the nomi- nee almost entirely to correspondence and other work. One subject of at l tention was the woman suffrage situ- ation in Tennessee, which he can vassed carefully from information gathered at his request by the Repub- lican national committee. He determined to take a more di- rect course in appealing for ratifica- | ton of the suffrage and sent telegrams | to both suffrage and party leaders at Nashville expressing his views To State Senator Houck, Republican state chairman, he telegraphed that Repub- I lican legislators could serve both party and country by aiding ratifica- ton.
 Favor Early Ratification A telegram sent last Friday to the Harding and Coolidge club at Wash | ington, D. C., saying he was not then | ready to make such a request, also was made public. In it he declared that be- fore acting he wanted the information being collected by the national com mittee, so that he might be sure ot the reasons actuating those opposed to ratification.
 Organization of a Marion delegation to the notification Saturday of Gov ernor Cox at Dayton was the subject of an official statement issued to- , night by Harding headquarters. It ac- cused Cox boosters of guaranteeins , free tickets and expenses to swell the delegation and to make a showing "fol pictures by movie machines"
 Hints at Machine Politics The statement said the entire move. ment is characteristic of machin, politics.
 Senator Harding saw few callers to. 5 day but late in the afternoon he sus pended work for a while to chat witt f a group of young men from the clas. ! of school administration at Ohio Statt university.
