Please tell ue about what Senator
Harding said in his big speech" It
was Jack speaking, as usual teasing his
Uncle Ted for . story.
81 couldn't possibly tell you all he
said tonight answered Uncle Ted,
"but if you and Ruth will promise to
20 to bed early tomorrow night I'll
tell you all can. You remembtr what
told you last week, now Mr.. Cox has
stated that he is going to fight for the
world club and how after his talk with
President Wilson it was shown by the
statement both men made that Mr..
Wilson is still the ruler of the Demo
cratic party. Since the day when Mr..
Cox and Mr.. Wilson had their talk
Mr.. Cox were elected president, Mr..
Wilson would still rule the country, a
great man has made a great speech.
son Thursday, July %, Senator
Warren G. Harding made the opening
speech of his campaign when he accept
ed the Republican candidacy for pres
ident."
Ibid he say he wanted the world
club - asked Ruth.
~ should say NOT!'' answered I'm
Gle Ted. "He knows, as we all know,
that we must have peace. But he is
not willing to have peace at the cost
of world club. When Mr.. Harding
becomes president we will have peace,
and the right kind. In his speech he
said. Il promise you formal and effec-
tice peace so quickly as a Republican
congress can pass its declaration for
Republican executive to sign,' In
other words, if he had been president
when congress passed the resolution de-
claring peace with Germany he would
not have refused to sign it as did
Woodrow Wilson. He VIII not trv to
run the whole government without the
advice of other big men, neither will
he try to run it with disregard of the
constitution of the United States On
this point he said, mo man is big
enough to run this great republic.
There never has been one. Such dom
! nation was never intended After
| the long years of rule in this country
by one man, after we have seen a man
sit in the White House who cares more
Tor the interests of foreign countries
than he does for the problems at home,
1t is wonderful relief to hear a man
speak, who. when he is seated in the
White House, will save this country
from the plots of Europe and Asia and
who will wipe one-man government and
internationalism from the face of A.
erica S map and replace it with the
good old-fashioned nationalism that
started when the fathers wrote the
Declaration of Independence.
Suppose, kiddies, that we had not
had men in the United States senate
who refused to see our country dragged
INTO world club. If there had not
| been that band of senators who refus-
ed to approve the world club, as Mr.
Wilson said it had to be, we would

thousands of American boys starting
to Europe every few days to fight
TO fight for whaty'' asked Jack.
! To fight for Poland The Russian
| bOlshevists, for Russia il now ruled by
bolshevists, have been fighting, trying
to defeat and wipe out Poland. Poland
was set up as an Independent nation by
the treaty of peace and was formerly
part of the Russian Empire. AL
though they have now stopped fighting
under an armistice such as stopped the
great war on November IL, 1918, the
J trouble will not be settled so easily
| and more fighting is sure to follow.
! The Russians threaten to go into Po-
land with their armies and, because
Poland is member of the world club
the other members must join in the
fighting If we were member of the
world club today it might mean that
almost any time we would have to send
soldiers and money to help Poland if
the managers of the club told us to
