MARION, Ohio, July Ex-senator
Warren G. Harding declared to-day
that the Republican party stands be-
fore the country upon platform that
is sound and progressive, and he is
confident that the expression of the
voters judgment of it will result in
victory in November.
The Republican nominee made it
clear that the formation of a third
party will not alter in any way the
campaign plans of the Republican
party. He expressed qualification that
Senator La Toilette had declined the
third party nomination and said:
II think it will be found that no Re-
publlcans are interested in the third
party movement. The Republican party
stands before the country upon plat
form which is sound and progressive.
1T offers its platform to the voters for
their judgment, with confidence that
the expression of their Judgment will
result in victory in November.
Appeals 60 All Americans
THE Republican party this year rep
resents no faction within the party, no
special interest or particular group
within our voting citizenship. Rather.
1T calls upon all Americans who love
America, whs believe in sound prog
ress and real development, to sup
port it.
"The laboring man who seeks a
square deal from a political party will
get it from the Republican party; the
farmer who is looking for freedom
from present irksome restrictions is
promised that freedom and full consid
Grafton of the needs of agriculture in
the event of Republican success; the
small business man who is suffering
from restricted credit, high interest
rates and inequitable taxes, may we'll
look to the Republican party to relieve
INN from the burdens placed upon him
by Dem ocratic Administration.
More than ever the Republican party
this year stands for the Lincolnian
principle of government of the people
by the people and for the people, for
the good of all the people. 1t is upon
the development of that principle and
the Interpretation of our platform that
we shall make our campaign, irrespec-
tive Of the plans OR the nominees of
other parties"
