Chairman Will II. Hays of the Re-
publican National Committee yesterday
received a memorial strongly advocat-
ing the election of Harding and Cool
idge and Wadsworth and Miller from
William Miller Collier, president of
George Washington University, former
Minister to Spain; James R. Day, chan
cellor of Syracuse University; George
B. Stewart, president of Auburn Theo-
logical Seminary, and James S. Riggs,
Allen Macy Dulles, William j. Hinke
and John Quincy Adams Of the faculty
of the same seminary, all Of whom sub
scribed to the following:
Believing that the election Of Har-
ding and Coolidge is absolutely neces-
sGry for the restoration of constitu-
tional government and the ending Of
the personal government of the last
seven years, with its inefliciency and
extravaganza, and also profoundly con-
vinced that the ratification of the Viii
son covenant for the League of Nations
would be injurious to the interests Of
the United States and would tend to
disturb the worlds peace rather than
to promote it. and convinced that
world association as proposed by Sen
ator Harding is fully practicable and
would better enable the United States
to discharge its obligations to human
ity, we, tho undersigned, declare our
intention Of voting for Harding and
Coolidge, and we urge our fellow citi-
zens to give them their support.
eve also earnestly advocate the cleo
tion Of Senator Wadsworth and of
Judge Miller as conducive to the main
tenance OF economical government and
the enforcement Of law"

Governor Cox began his speaking
campaign in Ohio some weeks ago, but
Senator Harding's first important
speech in the state away from his front
porch was delivered last Wednesday at
the Jackson barbecue. There are four
didate's schedule for neyt week, how
ever. The first will be in Cleveland
Wednesday night. 1t had been planned
to wind up the campaign in Cleveland,
but better program was evolved.
On Thursday Senator Harding will
leave Cleveland. 20 to Akron. speak
there in the evening and depart the
following morning for Cincinnati.
From Cincinnati the nominee will
depart Saturday morning for Colum-
bus where he will deliver his last
big speech of the campaign that night

carital, is the official home of Gov
ernor Cox. In a measure it will be a
return of the compliment paid by the
Democratic candidate IN speaking in
Marion recently. Senator Harding will
return to Marion that same night, and
remain at the front porch until after
e ection.
Objections TO League Confirmed
When shown to-day the recent con-
tribution by Premier Bratiano of Ru-
mania to the controversy between the
President and Senator Spencer, Sena-
tor Harding said it is not his dispute,
but added:
"The belated testimony of the Ru-
manian Premier is very Interesting
by way of confirming the Presidents
objections to amending the league
covenant. The President said to sew
eral Senators, for one Of whom ] can
speak definitely, that any amendment
would lead to demands by Rumania
and other small nations with attend
ing embarrassment.
"All this emphasizes our objections
to the covenant as written. Clearly
the Supreme Council trespasscd the
rights of the small nations and as
sumed to decide their very own politi-
cal and economic affairs, and then set
ABOUT to maintain the existing order
of things by the rule of force. 1t has
been the Republican purpose all along
to establish a world association for the
rule of justice rather than force.
"Ciearly Europe understands that
which we are coming to know, that the
league S written commits America to
the armed support of the four great
now'rs ~ maintaining the integrity Of
their enlarged dominions whenever at
tackled from without. This is why
America will vote its unalterable hos
tiity to Article X. When that is done
We may seek a new understanding, one
which will hold US unmortgagcd to Eu-
rope and the Orient"

Helms struggled t. check the car. Tour
blocks below another car crept from
the barns of the Third Avenue Railway
Company and, unmindful Of the on
rushing runaway, pulled into the track
directly in front Of it.
Instead Of jumping to safety Helms
stuck to his post and in the crash that
followed both Of his legs were cut Off.
