Arizona republican., 1920-07-23

In receiving formally his parW mandate, the nominee also outlined stand for government by party rather than by individuals, declared railway employees might well be accorded status of public servants, endorsed CO., operative marketing for farmers, and pronounced increased production the key to a lower cost of living.
 The address was delivered here
 at the climax of day of celebra-
 ton which brought to Marion
 notable company of party chiefs
 and a crowd of many thousands.
 Their pIaudits and serenading
 kept the nominee the center of a seven hour reception as deIesa- tions from many states paraded past the Harding residence m a
 clamoring caValcade.
 Soon after sun up the march of the first delegations brought the senator to his front door step and after that there scarcely was a let up until he left for the notification ceremonies on the outskirts of the city at ? o'clock. old friends from nearby counties mixed with the representatives of powerful Republican clubs of distant cities in the procession, gay with l decorations and blatant with noise. At the ChatauQua pavilion, where the notification took place. seats had been provided for 4,000 and many times that number surged about the park and surrounding fields, unable to get within earshot of the speakers. Lauds Harding Treaty Opposition Will H. Hays, national chairman, presided at the ceremonies, and Sena- | tor Lodge of Massachusetts, who was chairman of the convention, formally | notified the. candidate of his nomina- | tion in a speech rapping President Wilson's league of nations and prais- l ing the part Senator Harding had taken in preventing it's unreserved ac- | ceptance.
 Speaking slowly and with a char | acteristic gravity, the nominee de- l livered his declaration of policy in a clear. full voice that penetrated the l crowded outskirts of the pavilion Several times he got the crowd on its l feet as he hammered with clinched | fist to land his blows where they would 1 tell.
 His thrusts at the league of nations | were answered by repeated thunder l claps of cheering but the passage the l crowd seemed to like best came wher l he voiced his humility in the presence l of the responsibilities of the presidency and then. squaring his broad should l ers added that his confidence in the support of his fellow citizens made l him wholly unafraid." In his dis l cussion of the league he made no di- l rect recommendation for rejection o1 1 the peace treaty and did not take UT | in detail the league covenant. Con- tenting himself with the declaration that the league as conceived by the 1 president was unthinkable, he passed 1 on to state his own view of what | should be done.
 At the conclusion of the speech, the 1 senator returned to his home but sev- eral of the visiting delegations, not content with their first reception
 called again to say goodbye. With 1 Mrs. Harding who had been by the
 side of the nominee during most oi
 the morning, he again shook hands
 with the callers.
 Harding's Acceptance Speech
 Chairman Lodge, members of the notification committee, members of the national committee, ladies and gentle men:
 The message which you have for mally conveyed brings to me a realiza- i ton of responsibility which is not un- derestimated. It is a supreme tasl to interpret the covenant of a grear | political party, the activities of which are so woven into the history of this | republic and a very sacred and solemn i undertaking to utter the faith and as l pirations of the many millions who ad ] here to that party. The party plat form has charted the way yet, some | how, we have come to expect that in 1 depreciation which voices the faith O. nominees who must assume specific tasks
 Let me be understood clearly iron the very beginning. I believe in party l sponsorship in government. I believe in party government Pas distinguished from personal government, individual dictatoriaI autocratic or what not IT | a citizenship of more than a hundred millions it is impossible to reacf agreement upon all questions. Par ties are formed by those who reach 2 cOncensus of opinion. It was the item of the founding fathers to give to thi. republic a dependable and endurine ! popular government, representative 1T form. and it was designed to make DO litical parties not only the preserving sponsors but also the effective agen- cies through which hopes and aspira- tions and convictions and conscience may be translated into public per formance.
 People Always Supreme Authority Popular government has been an in spiratiOn of liberty since the dawn O civilization Republics have risen anc fallen, and a transition from party te 1 personal government has preceded i every failure since the world began
 Under the constitution we have tho ] chartered way to security and pespet uity. We know it gave to us the safe
