Rural Education From Its
Present Delinquency
(By United Press)

West Jefferson, Ohio, Oct. 2. (By
Raymond Clapper.). An old fashion
ell farmers basket picnic and barbe-
cue at Wilson's grove, near here Of
ferred the setting for Harding's
speech today. Leaving Marion after
breakfast, Harding motored to Will
sons grove where 10000 farmers
gathered from the great Central Ohio
corn belt Harding spoke briefly on
agriculture, declaring the welfare of
American farmers is the welfare of
the American people.
Harding advocated government aid
to farmers purchasing land. cheaper
distribution Of farm products thru
&C operative markets and more e6ir
cient rail and motor transportation,
land protection Of American agricul-
tural products from cheap foreign
competition. i
The republican nominee is finding
the league of nations issue the most
troublesome Of his campaign. Head
quarters still professed ignorance re-
garding the alleged intention of Sen
ator Dorah, Of Idaho, a treaty ire
concilable, to quit the stump.
Harding sent a telegram to Ed
ward A. Ryan of Washington. D. c.,
the heckler who interrupted him at
the Baltimore meeting, fatty declin-
ing to state his attitude on the league
issue. Ryan had asked Harding II
he favored scrapping the league and
he was arrested. He followed this
with a telegram to Harding, repeat
ing the question.
Harding replying, expressed regret
for the arrest of Ryan but declared
he could not agree to answer the
question just as Ryan chose to frame
IT. and added that his task was to
harmonic the voices Of the different
groups so that policy could be
adopted which would have the united
support Of the country behind it.
In his speech today Harding urged
raising the standard of rural ednca-
ton on which he said we have been
deplorably delinquent. Adult educa-
ton of immigrants should be under
taken as 1t would reduce radicalism.
