HARDING URGES
 ADOPTION PLAN
 HAGUE JURlsTs
Gives Views of Root Scheme In Statement Sent to W0-
 mems Organization

MarlOH, OnlO.s oeptt 10.--Urglng the adoption of new proposal for prevention of war instead of the league of nations, Senator Harding in a message today to republican wo- mems organizations and women's Harding and Coolidge clubs asked that we preserve our own national conscience at home and not check it at Geneva"
 The message which was addressed to Mrs. Ray F. Fucker, president of the Women's Harding and Coolidge club of New York City, also asserted that "American women must realize that the league of nations as present. ed by a democratic administration would not mean peace for us, but would mean American boys living in army tents overseas and asked to die in causes in which they would have no heart"
 To Give Views
 The message was intended to set forth to the women voters the candi- dates views on their entrance in<o politics and brief outline of the party position on the league. of na- tions. Senator Harding said he ex- poets in the near future to make ? comprehensive discussion of the league of nations, from the women's viewpoint in front porch speech.
 Senator Harding conferred with Dr. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, this af- ternoon. pr. Hillis later gave out q statement in which he said that "pos- sibly one reason why the tide is ebbL ing away from the party in power" is s because "the people think that Gov ernor Cox illustrates the law of arith- .metical progression" Beginning with the claim that the republicans were spending eight million in buy ing the presidency he jumped to fif- teen million and yesterday to thirty million and soon probably, in the spirit of progression, will have the republicans spending the total annual income of the nation and the next week he will have us borrowing mo- ney from Germany.
 Cites Seriousness
 "Whv, is the tide running 70 strong ly to Senator Harding! The serious note in the Senator's thinking; his atmosphere of self restraint s;the se- renity of a man conscious of his reserves. his generous judgment of those who differ with him; his broad Americanism, his constant use of the words back to the constitution' the way in which he would restrain his friends with the words sremembeI that this is | government of law and not of men. tho earnqs sSnAss With which he uttered tk4as LII morning. s x |||||||| ||| < |l| ? !
