paign, that our first concern is for Amer
ica at home, because everything else
we do is based on the welfare Of the
American people.
1--WE believe that in popular govern

and that when we strengthen America
at home we strengthen Americas in
fluence and helpfulness to the world.
We believe in an America which ever
wants TO help humanity but that our

turn Americas face forward on the
right track arain We have chosen, my

maine of democracy and thcn crowned
with autocracy during the stress OF

Yards at Dayton Crowded
Dayton had turned out in force to
welcome Senator Harding. The roofs
of boxcars in the yards were black with

last eight years, could not consent
