CINCINNATI Oct. 29.-A day or campaigning through his own state was concluded by Senator Harding to- night with an address in Cincinnatps Music hall again drawing attention to domestic issues and charging that the Democratic party had sought to cover up mistakes at home by em- phasizing speculative propositions" with reference to our foreign rela- tions. Democratic slogans and prom ises of four and eight years ago were brought back before the voters by the Republican nominee in his enumera- tions of short comings laid at the door of the Wilson administration. "In 1912" he said, "the Democrats won with d promise to reduce the cost of living, and in 1916 they used the slo- gan, keep us out of war" although the administration knew that our en- try into the war was inevitable"
 Extravagance, unpreparedness for war and for peace, and a bungling in- dustriaI policy were among the fail ures' which the candidate declared has characterized eight years of Demo- cratic rule. All of these he promised to remedy under an administration de- voted to putting our own public house in order. The candidates speech at Music hall followed a series of local demonstrations in which candidates welcomed and acclaimed him. Arriv- ing here late in the afternoon from Akron, he was cheered through the streets to his hotel and later he re- turned to the hall at the head of a parade in which many marching clubs participated.
 On his way from Akron he made short speeches at Green Camp, Rich mond, Urbana and Hamilton, reiterat- ing his position on the league and ar | guing for constitutional government At Dayton, the home of Governor Cox no speech had ben arranged, but dur ing a short stop there the nominee am Mrs. Harding alighted from their traif and shook hands with several scores of men and women.

 housecleaning' to be accomplished o November 2.
 In his night speech the senator gay major attention to Democratic ques
 tions but also re-stated his positio
 on the league and asserted that onl l by giving the proper example to th 3 world could the nation fulfill it's mis sion and pay its debt to civilization.

 foreign relations. But we do not prt
 pose that they shall evade the di
