ARE EVADING BIG ISSUES

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 2s::-=Fed-
eral Judge Lands in addressing the
Indiana state convention Of school
teachers yesterday, criticized both
Senator Harding and Governor Cox,
the rival, presidential candidates, for
what he termed their evasion of vital
election issues. "Both the democratic
and the republican parties" Judge
Lands added, "took indefinite stands
in their platform regarding important
questions. al
1.-TWO or three things are involved
in this campaign. he said, "that are
Of the greatest Importance to the
welfare of our nation and of the
world, and on which, the candidate
elected must take action. All the
while in this campaign the mystery
has been why does man who wants
an office by the franchise of the
people 60 about to make them get a
false notion as to what he will do
when he gets into Officer"
The only specific complaint against
the candidates made by Judge Lands
was that "neither has said what he
will. do as affecting legislation that
will give life to the prohibition
amendment"

s: At the federal court term here

a,dennTrer in the case against States
Attorney Ivan Metzger and two other

HEADQUARTERS Is Said to Have
no Fear of the Outcome
of His Campaign
HARMONY is REACHED 49,
AMONG PARTY LEADERS
Opinion Is That Republican,
Leaders Have Accepted
Harding's Stand
NV United Press. }

Marion, O., Oct. % (by Raymond
Clapper) With everything at lull
in the speaking campaign, Harding
today worked on addresses to be de-
ivered neSt week in several Ohio
cities. For the time being there will
be little fireworks about the Marion
front porch. A few visitors are ex-
pected each day but no great de-
mands will be made upon the repub-
lican nominee for some time.
Harding's headquarters are said to
have no fear as to the outcome Of
the campaign and one Of the reasons
for the optimistic view Of the situa-
ton is the present harmony among
the party leaders, which Harding's
headquarters believe has nearly been
achieved by the nominees view on
the League Of Nations.
The latest developments which
brought cheer was the statement by
Hiram johnson for fixed world
forum, This, Senator Harding ex-
poets, is an Endorsement of his own
position against Wilson's League of
Nations and in favor of some kind
of an association of nations.
The opinion at headquarters here
is that all the republican leaders now
excepting possibly Senator Borah
have come around to Harding's posi-
ton on the league, and the nominee
believes he has achieved the end for
which he has sought since the conven-
tion.--constancy on the peace issue.
1t was denied at headquarters here
that Senator Harding ever voted for
mild reservations on the peace treaty,
as stated by Governor Cox. Senator
Harding made a speech while mild
reservations were being considered
in the senate, in which he declared
he would as soon favor mild reserva-
tions as he would mild Americanism
and that he felt the democratic cam
didate has been unfair in his sup
posed charges against him.
Harding insisted he has held to
one constant position since his &C.
ceptance speech-that Of opposing
the Wilson League of Nations, and
favoring some kind Of an association
which would not interfere with
American national independence Of
action.
