Issues Clear Cut on League and
Domestic Matters, Says

As the line ID drawn distinctly be-

has taken me into thirty-six states.

ATTACKS "OLIGARCHYr AGAIN,
Every smoke screen set up by the
oligarchy has been pierced
and every ENHANCEMENT has been torn
down. The specious attempt to build
up a slogan for q Change" Is the last
to fall. With analysis OF what change
would mean. the people have gained
understanding and have made their
decision.
In Smy pilgrimage have talked
with many men OF all parties and OF
all creeds. Republicans. when they
were honest, have acknowledged
what Is patent to every one--that no
one really wants Senator Harding for
President. Yet they tell me that as
partisans many expected to- vote for
him because they had been taught
to believe that they wanted a change.
The expression was preached as
propaganda by reactionary leaders
until 1t has become nauseating to the
public.
NO QUARREL WITH @. o. p.
] have no quarrel with the Re
publican party. My tight is against
the Senatorial oligarchy. that group
of men In the Senate which paid no
attention to the rank and file of the
Republican party when they came
finally to select the nominee Of the
in Chicago.
1t Is my contention that this
oligarchy not only de-
people for what 1t has
done to the civilization Of the world.
but It deserves as well the repudia-
ton Of the rank and file Of the Re-
publican party for its utter disre-
gard Of the express mandate at the
primaries.
What assurances did you give the
nuthaF heart Of America when their
boys sailed for the bloody battle
fields o. Europe? Did you tell them
we were going over to conquer do
main that we did not possess; that
cur boys were to fight In order to
Eain q rich indemnity? No. You
tiAply said that we are going to de-
" eoys IA. military autocracy, a war
nd that we were going to
enS this war in order to make wars
IN re future impossible.
MUST HELP SAVE WORLD.
Tho boys completed their work.
America alone has failed to ratify
the frosty.
Millions Of men. women, and chill
arrn in the devastated region Of
Europe are literally starving to
death when America has the ability
and resources to provide for them
all. But this provision can only be
made when reconstruction Of the
world has been undertaken under
definite plan
Although our brave soldiers
achieved victory in the great war, and
by their direct contribution brought
the war to a close. we still do not
have peace. Until that peace Is ac-
complished, little Roadway can be
made. Not only is the civilization of
the world at stake. but the material
welfare Of our own country is
vitality affected.
The cause of peace Is not new in
the world. The angels sang II 1000
years ago, and for twenty centuries
God has waited for the nations Of
the earth to catch the meaning of the
sentiment, Peace on earth. good will
to men," The hour is here. The hour
has struck, and the OPPORTUNITY is
Americas to conclude in formal and
effective way, the most humanitarian
enterprise in all the history Of the
world.
SEES WORLDWIDE LEAGUE.
T want every nation in the world
in the League Of Nations. ! believe
1t will be in the next eighteen
months II they are all inside the
glass house. there will be no bricks
thrown at the glass house, and we
will all be Joined in q common pur-
pose, devoting ourselves to the ideals
Of a new day; and when We enter
the League we will take our place in
the moral leadership Of the world
We will take our place in the coun-
ellis OF the nations Of the world. We
will carry our flag into the League
of Nations. we will plant 1t beside
the flags Of the other nations OF the
world, and what a beautiful picture
IL will make-the most beautiful in
all the world-and again the angels
can sing as they sang at Bethlehem,
Peace on earth; good will to men,"
l ask you only to consult your
ccnsciences. l ask no Democratic
man or woman to vote for me be-
cause am the candidate Of that
party.
CONSULT CONSCIENCE. PLEA.
We must vote as Americans, as our
intelligence may sway us. We must
consult our conscience because after
all IL Is the voice of God. and II
