HARDING RECEIVES 4
 TREMENDOUS OVATION
 IN BALTIMORE SPEECH

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27-Before a throng which taxed the capacity of the Baltimore armory and voiced its ap- probation in repeated crashes of ap- plause, Senator Warren c. Harding outlined tonight his policy for sound business and rehabilitated American territory.
 Every place in the armory was talk en and many were standing when Senator Harding arrived. At his ap- pearance the audience rose and cheered for two minutes and then re- newed the ovation after the band hac played The Star-Spangled Banner 70 The nominee many times was inter rupted with cheering and when he concluded he was sent away with a great roar of applause.
 The address was the fourth to be made today by Senator HarduIg. Tn Baltimore he was received by a ches-- ing throng at the railroad station, was tumultuously acclaimed along a ride through the city and was personally welcomed by hundreds who filed by to shake his hand at a public recep~ ton.
 Senator Harding got his second tn multuous demonstration of the eve ming meeting when he arose to speak Early in the address Senator Harding had his first experience with hecklng when a man arose in the gallery and asked whether he mad "scrapped" ths League of Nations. The nominees reply was an unaccepted challenge to debate the League with his intcrroga- tor and the crowd applauded.
 Senator Harding replied to charges that the republican platform and poli- cies were "reactionary," declaring it was true that his party wanted to Ire act" from an era of executive usurpN- tion and to re-estabhsh orderly con stitutional government under for ward-looking, progressive policies.
 In his armory speech tonight the nominee sounded a warning against a flood of imports from debtor coun- tries, which he said might undermine American production by stimulating a competition American industry ccul |: not meet without tariff protection.
 Tt is of the gravest national con cern," he continued, that this changed international position shall not worl; 10 the injury of our industrial ang agrcultural life. We are not prepared t1 wipe from our books Europes debt to us, but it would be incomparably better for our credit to remain ur- collected and our balances to be waived than for liquidation to take the form of an undermining flood oi imports that would cripple American industry, degrade American labor and weaken our whole economic fabric.

 How many of you people here ap- preciate what a wonderful heritage you received in public lands when Arizona became a state and which heritage is now being gobbled up in vast estates under the leasing policy adopted by the land department against which I as your governor am now engaged in a big fight You hear everywhere that the big land and cat tie interests of Arizona are against Tom Campbell this year
 ! l am going to tell you why they are against me, and what they are trying to put over on you, the peo- pie of Arizona say you', because this vast heritage of land consisting of millions of acres of public land worth millions of dollars, belongs to you and to me, to your families and 10 my family, to your children and ito my children.

 The Vicious Leasing Plan Now these are the lands. my friends, which the land board has been through the issuance of dummy leases in one holding, delivering for long term of years to a few big outfits thus precluding for that time other development along agricultur- al lines until many million of acres have been turned over 10 big holders freezing out the small homesteader and preventing the intensive develop ment Of the country. We are told by the big land holder that these vast tracts can never be used for anything except grazing purposes, yet in your memory and mine we have seen thousands upon thousands of acres heretofore> believed valuable for grazing only made to produce vast crops of cotton, grain and other products, yielding hundreds of dol lars to the acre, where hitherto they were considered to be worth three dollars an acre or less.
 A Million Acres Lost
 Who can say that millions of acres now considered valuable for range purposes only will not be brought under cultivation by the creation of great reservoir projects such as the Roosevelt dam or by pumping, through the construction of great power projects on the Colorado riv- CT. You have seen a wonderful transition from desert to farm in this valley You have seen the desert gradually recede the cultivated areas extended to limits never before dreamed of.
 Before the passage of the land bill it was the policy to recognize dummy entrymen because the then existing law provided leasing state lands in large holdings. Some months ago l discovered that the state land department was concell- ing these dummy leases and consoli- dating large blocks of land in the names of the big outfits who have made use of the dummies. l protest ed against this practice at meeting of land board. As a result the com missioner was for the time being de- cided to make no more such leases, although by that time about a mil lion acres had passed into the hands of these big outfits by this method. ~~-~-~-~~-~--~~~-~-~--- -~---~~--~-----~-~~---~---~
