that Mr. Roroh and Mr. Johnson have
threatened to abandon their support
in the campaign unless the Republican
candidate pledged himself to scrap the
league. Some of the reports said that
Senator Harding had given such
pledge. He denied this fatty to-day.
The election of the Republican ticket
IN November in the solemn refer
endum' on the Wilson League Of Ma
tions will simply decide so far as Sena-
tor Harding IS concerned, the kind of
league of nations the United States
OF America will not join.
Repeatedly in his speeches Senator
Harding declared that he does not en-
tertain the slightest idea of foisting
upon the country any scheme of inter
national cooperation of his own devils
ing. lie mas sand again and again that
tHe american people must decide that
question for themselves.
one OF the things that impressed the
IaIluiuate most deeply about the reac-
tlollS OF ms audiences on the campaign
