Judge Miller spoke before Senator Har
ding. At the outset of his address the
Senator said:
II realize the difference between m,
position and that of my opponent wher
either of US deals with the League o.
Nations. We have no differences in oul
realization that the American people
with the generosity and conscience
which have always characterized them
desire to enter into some kind of ar
association of nations which will pre-
vent war and interweave all people:
with the bonds of peaceful cooperation
But there are two marked differ
ences between us-the first of these Is
to be found in the fact that my opponent
Is insisting upon the adoption of the
unchanged Paris League of Nations.
insist that adoption not only would be
fatal to our nationality, to the preserva.
ton Of our Constitution. to freedom OF
our conscience and to the sanctity Of
our flag but that IL would mean not ar
association based upon justice but ar
association whose very soul is militar-
ism.
1.-The Republican position is the exact
opposite of that position. l, on my part

deed fatal to American independence tc

hut that it is wholly impossible. The
American people, as well as the Senate OF
the United States. long ago rejected the
Presidents plan, which my opponent Is
now trying to keer alive Even IL my OPP
ponent were elected he would be unable
to put his programme into effect. and
America would have to wait for many
years, perhaps, before she could be united

For my part, / consider 1t much more
constructive to refrain from dictation of
any infiexible policy. 1 consider it more
constructive to show a willingness to
consult America, TO harmonize America,
to consult the best opinion Of America.

Our duty to the world
Il have said during all of this cam
paign that we must pay more attention
to example than to preaching, and l
want TO point out that we are not full
filling our greatest duty. even to the
outside world. by allowing gross mis-
of our own affairs to set
a bad example to everybody.
"As n mere matter of setting a bad
example to others. we would be blame
worthy indeed as nation If we allowed
the prodigality and waste and bad gen.
eral mana cement, which has brought us
to the verge OF disaster. to continue. We
would be blameworthy. indeed. IL we.
people proud of our business ability
should allow the grotesque inefficency
of the last eight years to continue day
longer than Is necessary. Our govern
