New York, Oct. 27.--Senator
Hiram johnson of California, in a
speech at Hoboken, N. j., definitely
removed Senator Harding from adj
vocacy of any league of nations
whatever. The senator said in
part:
"Just now the overshadowing
pail on the republic which we love
is the Wilson league of nations. 1t
Is the greatest issue in the United
States since the Civil war. The line
of demarcation in the present cam
paign is clean--the democrats are
ON one side and the republicans are
on the other. There is no ambig-
uity in the stand of the republican
party or in the stand of Mr.. Hard
ing on the league of nations.
For reasons of their own, cer-
tain interested individuals and
newspapers may misrepresent and
misinterpret his words. resent
these imputations upon the SINGER
ity of the utterances of the candi-
date, and the manifest endeavor in
some quarters to distort his plain
league.
Has Put League Behind Him."
"In some instances the comment
has been mere rank misrepresenta-
tions; in orthers disingenuous inter-
pretation. I do not object to some
men in this campaign saving their
faces so long as they do not save
their league; but 1 will not permit
to go unchallenged from other
sources the Justification of the po-

President Wilson Voices
Final Appeal for CovenaIlt
Senator Harding Stands
For Absolute Rejection
OfLeague Says johnson

Senator Harding's fortnight stand.
There is nothing ambiguous or
uncertain in our candidates decla-
ration. He has courageously taken
his tsand. He has put the league
behind him. He wants neither in
terpretations nor reservations, but
outright rejection.
Harding Against League.
From those who believe as do,
he is entitled not only to the warm
est communication. but the strong
est advocacy and most enthusiastic
support. The issue today is the
league Of nations as presented by
President Wilson, which Cox says
he will take this country into, and
which Harding says he won't.
1.-THE men and newspapers who
pretend to be friends of Senator
Harding and who assert that he is
to take this country into the
league of nations do him a distinct
dis-service and pay him sorry
compliment. l speak, of course,
solely from the public utterances of
our candidate, and these utterances
make plain beyond cavil that when
Senator Harding is president he
will not take the United States into
the league.
'.He characterizes the league as "a
military alliance which menaces
peace and threatens all. freedom.
He called it the supreme blunder'
and asserted that he would leave
America free, Independent and self
reliant. but offering friendship to
all the world,
