HARDING PLEADS
FOR CONSTITUTION
Legislative Power Must Not Be Con-
trolled BY Executive-Thr Speak,
ing Dates Announced.


MARION, O., Sept. 17-Intended to
usher in the observance of Constitu-
ton day in his home state, Senator
Harding last night issued a statement
in which he asserted that If by some
tragic dispensation of fate, this con-
stitution should cease to be, the door
would no longer be closed against the
stealthy appropriation Of autocratic
power and the gradual absorption of
the peoples sovereignty. ''e't.fs h*ai
Senator Harding declared "there is
abroad in the land spirit which seeks
to weaken the adherence of the people
to their constitution and which reck-
lessly challenges it's WORTH
1t has sometimes been asserted that
the constitution was imposed upon the
many for the benefit of the few On
the contrary, it is the one thing above
all other things in our policy, which
both in origin and expression is uni
versal in its democracy.
So long as it endures the people
will never have a master, but will rule
themselves, sub iect to no compelling
force but their own authority and the
will of God.
- Whether it shall endure viii be for
The, men and women of America to de-
termine. Respect for it, reverence for
if, is not enough. They must take hold
II its meaning, penetrate its spirit,
leave to its principles, confound its
enemies. More dangerous than open
population is insidious subversion.
"Our people must set themselves to
he task of ending the attempt to subs
iect the legislative power to the con
rol of the executive, and of restoring
he substance of constitutional gov
Tnment under which the several de-
1artments are separate but co-equal
lnswerable not one to another but each
the people from whom alone it de-
Ives its power to be or act at all. -
Official advice was received from the
chicago headquarters yesterday that
senator Harding's proposed western
rip will not take him as far west as
Denver. Dates and cities in which the
enator will speak were not announced
also was stated there viii be two
ither short trips.
Official announcement was made yes
erday that Senator Harding would
peak in Baltimore on the night OF
| Sept 81; Wheeling, w. Va, the night
| if Sept. %: and at Ashland, KY, the
light of Sept %.

DANA FOR sPEAKERsHIP.
Vew Haven Representative Announces
Candidacy for Reelection.


NEW HAVEN. Sept. 17-Charles
! Dana, who for the fourth time has
cen nominated town representative
rom this town, announces he Will be a
andidate for reelection as speaker of
he house of representatives. Mr..
Jana points to his record as speaker
iwoGyears ag5nand believes he hcaf give
,ctter service in that position than a
tew man. Thus far no-other candidacy
or the speakership has been an
ouneed.
With the announcement of his candi-
,aev Mr. Dana is circulating the fol-
owing press comments on his work in
he last Legislature:
With the adjournment of the legis-
lture it is worthy of record that Adj
ison county s speaker of the house,
'harles s. Dana of. New Haven, has
cquitted himself wen in the speaker s
hair. There has not come to notice
ny criticism of his service other than
he most favorable comment on the
moothness with which he has kept the
usiness of the house in motion-Mid-
lIebury Register. q s. ..@
We have not heard that Speaker
Jana has missed a single session of
he house or called anyone to occupy
he chair. This must be pretty nearly
record for a Vermont speaker. An
Their ereditable thing is that he has
OF left the chair to speak from the
.oor of the house. So many speakers
ave done this to the detriment OF
heir prestige that it appears as though
peaker Dana was showing unusual
