not believe in one-man government in
the United States or anvwhere else in
the world"
want to say to you now," said the
nominee at another point in his speech,
the Democratic nominee, in accord
with the President, is in favor of ac-
cepting the Paris covenant for a
League of Nations, and says he is. l
am not"
The audience rose to it's feet, cheer
ing and waving hats. Above the din
could be heard: "Hurrah for Harding,
heS al right" You bet he isl" Down
win the league forever, say!" you
are not lonesome, brother"
There isn't any doubt about the de-
yotlon of st. Joseph to the United
States of America" said the Senator
approvingly.
i don't mean by that that I wouldn t
have America play its full part in con-
tributing to the uplift of humanity and
maintaining world civilization. We
could not hold aloof from the world
under modern conditions if we chose
But | mean by that that l am opposed
to mortgaging the United States of
America to Europe.
Il mean by that that I, as President,
Will never submit a league or an asso-
citation or any proposal with anything
like Article X in it, because Article x
says we undertake to preserve the ter

evitable that there viii be some as
sociation of nations for the promotion
and preservation of peace. | think it
likely, nay, more, l think it is desir-

rather than on force.

uation for all time to come.'"
1t was after q triumphal automobile
ride through the streets Of St. Joseph
crowded with eager Missourians anx-

candidate declared he wants League

rather than force.
When he said he was opposed tc
going into the Versailles League tht
entire gathering rose to its feet and
yelled its approval.
They also yelled with wild ya-hoos
when he said IL don't believe in one
man government"
On the present campaign trip it has
become increasingly apparent that Sen
ator Harding is not much more hostile
to the League of Nations than when he
voted for the ratification OF the Paris
treaty with the Lodge reservations. At
Das Moines he said ~ am against
that league with Article X in it," Here
tofore ne has said: 81 am against that
