that Monroe County. of which Roch
ester is the seat, would give him

$4,000. Mr.. Hilles Joined Mr.. Hard
ing at Rochester and gave him the
ing the political outlook in New York
State.
1t was predicted aboard the Harding
special to-day that Senator James
Wadsworth would win, but would run
about 100000 votes behind the head

planned that their principal cause for
worry was the Governorship and that
Judge Nathan Miller was having a hard
fight but would win.
Makes Four Talks in Rochester
Senator Harding made four talks in
Rochester in spite of a cold contracted
at indianapolis which has been causing
him some discomfort. He was driven
with his party first to the Hotel Pow
ers, where there was a reception. Then
he was taken to the Hotel Rochester,
where he spoke briefly to the Rochester
Ad Club. From there he went to Con-
vention Hall.
A crowd of about 10000 was packed
around the entrance and Senator Har
meeting speech, talking from the gal
ery of the hall. The crowd inside was
much smaller because of the limited
seating capacity of the structure, but
it was an enthusiastic gathering. Soon
after Senator Harding began to speak
he unfolded a note that had been
passed to him over the front Of the
platform.
Somebody sent me note, just be-
fore took the platform" said he. "He
wants me to tell the people just where
| stand. He says, Don't pussyfoot any
more The gentleman, I have no doubt,
courtesy he would want to pay the
Presidential candidate of his own party.
He is a Mr.. Fuller. SO l am going to
sec if | can somehow tell Mr.. Fuller
to-day what he asks, and if he can
understand the English language"
Senator Harding reviewed the treaty
fight in the Senate, discussed the res
ervations and then said:
I'm my new position of authority
will become spokesman for America in
dealing with foreign nations That
puts me in an entirely different posi-
ton. | must submit the treaty that is
made to the Senate Now, want to
ask my friend if this is pussyfooting:
| never will submit treaty with
Article x in it,"
storm of applause swept over the
audience. 1t died away and then broke
out with renewed vigor. When it
ceased the candidate entered upon a
discussion of Article x.
"1hey tell you," he said, that you
cannot call upon America for men and
means and materials except as the
Congress says the word Well, my
countrymen, that is true, so long as
we remain a constitutional Republic.
But this is the first surrender Of con-
stltutlonal integrity in America"
Talks to Objector
At the rear of the hall man stood
up and shouted:
mo! no! mol"
From other parts of the hall the
irterrupter was hssed.
In protest against the kissing of the
objector Senator Harding said:
mo, no. | want to talk to this
fellow countryman. | want you to
let him listen to this statement" Then
he continued with his argument to
show that America must decide be-
tween the Constitution and the cove
nant
