HARDING SPEECH
4 COLUMNS LONG,
WELL POLISHED
Try I he Associated Press

MARION, Ohio, July Ex-senator
Harding gave his speech of acceptance
its final polishing tonight and then
prepared for day of complete rest
from the arduous task Of composition
which has occupied his attention al
most exclusively for week.
He planned to spend tomorrow
quietly and in the early days of the
coming week to take more time for
recreation. Since he began work on
his address he has been out of doors
scarcely at all and tonight said he was
feeling tired and cross" from want
of exercise.
During today the senator worked in
close cooperation with the composing
room Of his newspaper, the Marion
Star, where the speech was put into
type by installments for printing the
advance copies that will be distributed
TO the press.
A relay of messengers carried copy
and proofs between the newspaper Of
flee and the senator's residence.
The speech will run well beyond the
four column limit he originally fixed.
Ii has been prepared with particular
care and he has endeavored 10 have it
express comprehensively his stand on
all of the important isues.
With the speech out Of the way, the
speculation of those close to the re-
publican nominee swung toward the
possible significance Of the meeting
tomorrow between his democratic OPP
ponent, Governor Cox, and President
Wilson. 1t was a persistent topic of
conversation among the local Harding
managers tonight for they expected
it to put the spotlight again on the
league Of nations and perhaps 10 show
up more clearly what lines the cam
paign on that issue will follow.
Senator Harding himself had moth
ing TO say about the conference
though he did not conceal his interest
in it. Ii was said that any public ex-
preston from regarding the league OF
other important campaign issues prob
ably could wait until notification day.
His close advisors are said to have
counSelled that course, specially re-
garding the league urging that he
stand on his recent statement that
! President Wilson had forced Governor
Cox 10 take his cue on the treaty il.
sue from the administration.

Sedpldne Observer Describes
Race As Seen From Overhead

FROM A SEAPLANE OVER RAG
ING COURSE, July 17.-Viewed
from the air, the race today between
Shamrock Nv. and Resolute proved
more picturesque than exciting. The
clearest of blue skies, fading through
the medium of a veil of light mist
into the deeper blue Of the sea, lent
a lustre to the snowy white of the
racers sails which suggested two
costly pearls exhibited on a back
ground of azure velvet.
Seldom catching enough Of the
breeze TO cause more than barely
perceptible list, the two fleet vessels
seemed most frequently as fixed and
motionless as if posed for a photo
graph. Even the sea was hardly ruff
fled by the air which, while miracul-
ously bellying out the sails, was not
sufficient in strength to stir sin
gle white cap.
When the race was called off the
sun was just beginning to sink into
the smoky haze which hung over New
York City and which during most of
the afternoon hid most of the Jagged
sky line of the metropolis from the
view of the aerial observers.
Fair weather had attracted to the
scene great fleet of vessels of all
sizes, private yachts which steamed
from the mouth Of the Hudson river
several hours before the beginning of
the race or from the direction Of the
Connecticut shore, excursion boats,
tug boats and countless sail boats of
every description.
The seaplane in which The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent was rid
ing was one of the small swarm of
such craft circling above the in
distinguishable triangle on which the
yachts were 10 race. Besides a dozen
or more privately owned airplanes
there was a flying boat or two from
the naval air station at Rockaway
and even navy "blimp" brilliant
with a new coat Of silver varnish.
Up to the moment when the start
ing signal fluttered on the mast head
of the control boat far below the
aerial observer. the swarm of little
craft had held back from Ambrose
Light out Of respect for the formid-
able fleet of destroyers which played
traffic police and kept non-official
boats at distance. Immediately the
start was made, however, the little
boats, some mere specks on the wa
ter, spread out into fan formation
and followed closely.
On the first leg of the run, both
boats at times caught enough breeze
to narrow the oval of their decks as
the great spread of sails yielded To
puff of air. Once the challenger
with her green hull churned up the
water before as well as aStern and
on either beam. looking for all the
world as though she were standing
still and merely bobbing up and down
in the water.
Neither boat moved fast enough al
any time to create foamy streamer
in its wake, although the rapid mo-
tion of the airplane frequently made
it seem thta both vessels were travel
ing at a dizzy speed.

Resolute had led all the way from
the starting line and was apparently
half an hour ahead Of the challenger
when the committees signal was
flown.
The yankee defender had outpointed
Shamrock in a ten-mile heat To wind
ward on the first leg and had turned
the first mark more than thirty-six
minutes ahead Of the challenger, which
had become becalmed as she approach
ed the turn.
On the second leg, Resolute at first
favored by freshening wind, again
ran away from the British contend
er, but ran into head wind and for
time the green sloop gained on her.

stitutional church. and among other
things il will include a reading room,
gymnasium, shower baths and in
fact il is intended that it will in
clude all that is required TO constitute
an institutional church on the modern
scale.
The plans and specifications have
not yet been completed, DIR. Mayfield
said. and he said when they are they
will reveal beautiful edifice and
one of the very latest design.
