 Senator Harding says that this is a domestic question:" said the governor, that concerns Great Britain. and Great Britain only. My Judgment is that it has become world tragedy. I call your attention to the fact that the English papers have been predicting Senator Hardings election, and that three days after he expressed himself against the interests of the Irish peo- pie, Balbriggan, in Ireland, was burned to the ground by British soldiers and old men, women and children were rem dered homeless. Can it be possible that the senator's views were accepted as expressing the American mind? This is becoming war of extermination."
 The auditorium audience rivalled in size the crowds he addressed at St. Louis, Kansas City and other large cities. Every seat tonight was filled and hundreds were standing.
 When he plunged directly into his league argument the governor was in- terrupted by the question:
 "How about the soldiers bonus?'
 The candidate reiterated that he favored giving ex-service men farm and home" for the government do- main or the four-fold plan of ,the American Legion.
 Prolonged applause greeted the gov- ernor's statements on the Irish ques- tion, especially when he declared that the situation in Ireland was "a war of extermination and the conscience of the world is beginning to revolt against it."

NEW VOTERS HEAR SENATOR HARDING
Delegations From Many States Representing Many Special
 Groups Are Present
By Associated Press

Marion, O., October 1S.-The long succession of political pilgramages to Senator Harding's front porch reached high tide today in a gathering that deluged Marion and swirled about the vicinity of the Harding home in a roaring human whirlpool.
 So great was the crowd that it's fringes packed the street block away and hundreds were unable to get close enough to hear the nominees speech on the obligations of the American voter
 Delegations from many states and representing many special groups were iii the crowd. More than score of bands marched with the paraders and seranaded the nominee for three hours after his address while he and Mrs. Harding stood on their front steps and shook hands with a stream of visi- itors.
 The senator's speech, largely devoted to a non-political discussion of the obligations of the American voter, was addressed particularly to those who are to exercise the ballot this year for the first time. He pronounced use of the franchise a duty as well as priv
 iege, and urged that the two party system be preserved as the most prac- tical means of securing efficient gov ernment. New women voters he asked especially not to segregate themselves
 in party of their own.
 The candidate also addressed himself to several groups of foreign-born vot- CTS in the gathering, telling them that they should help to maintain loyalty in return for the advantages of Ameri- can citizenship. He recounted the his tory of the republican party in final plea that it be chosen by all classes as the most efficient agency of gov ernment.
 The first voters contingents, includ- ing groups from thirty three colleges and universities, made up most of the crowd. In addition, however, there were representatives of the Polish. Hungarian, Lithuanian and Italian races and delegations from many Ohio counties
 Heading the parade was a bicycle brigade formed about bicycle that Senator Harding once owned and rode and as a part of the front porch cere- monies he was presented with new machine with his name engraged on the crossbars.
 Two of the show spots In the pro- ccssion of marchers were formed by girls of Ohio Wesleyan attired in mid dy blouses, and by woman club of Pittsburg, who wore marching cos- tunes of blue and white. Althugh the parade did not start un- | til nearly o'clock, crowds began to cluster about the Harding residence hours before, and by noon the lawn was overflowing and the porch had been taken over completely by the vts- itors.L
 The college delegations were in, the front of the picture during the dem- onstrations that preceded and followed ] the senator's speech. Cheer leaders mounted on the roofs of the houses ano perched in trees kept the groups or the ground below singing campaign
 songs and bowling out political paro' dies on their college yells.
