and CONSTITUTION IS
HARDINC'S
(By Associated Press)

MARION, O., Sept. 17.-Pronounc-
ing the league Of nations covenant ir-
reconcilible with the American con-
stitution, Senator Harding declared in
a Constitution day address here that
the time had come to decide whether
it would preserve or abandon the char
ter under which it achieved national
ity.
THE constitution or the covena Mt,
that is the paramount ISSUE" he said.
"The two are irreconcilible. We can
not be governed from both Geneva
and Washington. We cannot follow
our present chief magistrate without
forsa king the father of our country"
AssaiIs Administration Policy
The Republican nominee also as
sailed the administration policy to-
ward the smaller nations of the west
ern hemisphere, asserting that the
executive had usurped congressional
powers to carry on an unconstitution-
al war with Hayti and San Domingo.
He declared the recent Auttel ances

cratic nominee for vice-president, had
revealed officially for the first time

the two little republics.
The speech, delivered from the
front porch to delegations from sew
eral Ohio counties, reviewed the cir
cumstances surrounding the making
Of the constitution and outlined the
candidates conception of the bal
anced powers of the executive, legis-
lative and judicial branches of the
government. Only by preserving that
balance, he said, could the United
States fulfill it's greatest destiny.
"Constitution Never Failed"
THE constitution has never failed
America" he continued, "and despite
needless assertions to the contrary,
America has never failed the world,
and now as never before she stands
ready and, let us hope, will soon be

How can we, then, in reason and
with confidence, make sure of fulfill

step is plain. We must strictly main

ter and in spirit, the mandates of the
constitution of the United States.

at war. not alone technically with
Germany, but actually with the little,
