SENATOR HARDING AT
MINI. STATE FAIR

Senator Warren 6. Harding. repub-
lican candidate for president, is to
speak at the Minnesota State Fair.
Wednesday, September s. 1t is the
only fair IN America at which Harding
will speak this year.
His address at the Minnesota State
Fair will be a keynote speech on the
attitude of t h republican party
towards the American farmer. It has
been Mr.. Harding's belief that speech
on agriculture in technical way
should be given in an official manner
early in the campaign. and that this
address should be delivered at some
place in the west where agriculture is
paramount. Both Mr. Harding and
the republican national committee are
of the opinion that no better place
could be chosen for this address than
the Minnesota State Fair.
