before the voters by the Republican
nominee in his enumeration of short
comings laid at the door of the Wilson
administration. In 1912, he said, the
Democrats won with a promise to re-
duce the cost Of living, and in 1915 they
used the slogan "He kept us out of
war;" although the administration knew
definitely, that our entry into the war
was inevitable"
Domestic Affairs, First Duty.
Extravaganza, waste, unpreparedness
for war and for peace, and bungEng
Industrial policy were among the fail, !,
ures" which the candidate declared had
characterized eight years of Democratic
rule. All Of these he promised to rem
edy under an administration dedicated
first of all to putting, our own house
In order"
Crowds Acclaim Senator.
The candidates speech followed a
series of local demonstrations in which
thousands acclaimed him. Arriving here
late in the day from Akron he was
cheered through the streets to his hotel
and later rode to Music Hall at the
head of parade in which many march

he made short speeches at Ashland,
Green Camp, Redwood, North Lewis
burg, Urbana, and Hamilton. reiterat-
Ing his position on the league and argu-

No Speech at Dayton
At Dayton. the home town of Gov
ernor Cox, no speech had been arrang-
ed. but during short stop there the
nominee and Mrs. Harding alighted from
their train and shook hands with several
scores of men and women.
A gospel understanding" that should
insure domestic tranquility and honest
politics was preached by Mr. Harding at
Urbana, and when some one in the
crowd passed up to him broom made
at an Jrbana factory. he said he was
pleased at the gift because it smybol-
lied the political housecleaning to be
accomplished on November Z.
In his speech in Music Hall the SEN
ator gave major attention to domestic
questions but also restated his poslt9n
ON the league and asserted that only
BY giving the proper example to the
world could the nation fulfill its mis-
sion and pay its debt to civilization.

the same sense the economic world can.

The Heart of America.
"While there has been a great deal
said in this campaign about the heart OF
the world. surely something is due to be
said about the heart Of America. From
til, beginning of this campaign there
has been persistent effort upon the
part of our opponents to divert attention
from the most important issues of the
campaign, to concentrate the interest of
the voters upon speculative propositions
with reference to our foreign relations
