men who made this fight are to-day
united In the support of Mr.. Harding
because his view has been fully, hon
estly and emphatically expressed to
the American people. / take
off my hat to Senator Harding in his
ci aracterization of that instrument
(the treaty.. Mr.. Harding in
his speech of acceptance says it is bet
ter to be the free and disinterested
agent Of international justice ard ad-
vancing civilization with the covenant
of conscience than to be shackled by
a written contract which surrenders
our freedom of action and gives that
military alliance the right to proclaim
Americas attitude to the world. Oh,
but he is etcrnally right!
"Under Which Flag" Emphasized
I'm the conclusion of his address
Senator Johnson used these words:
Under which flag, my friends? I'm
der the polyglot international banner
OF Europe, or under the old Stars and
Stripes? That is the issue
Senator johnson repeatedly quoted
from the League of Nations address
which delivered on August 28, giving
ms unqualified approval to it, And in
That connection he made an eloquent
appeal for the election of Samuel NJ.
Shortridge, the Republican candidate
ior the Senate from California, urging
the necessity to elect men to the
House and Senate who will support

against the menace which we were
being let in for we are going to be
able to have America agree on Il pro
gram which shall hold us forever free
and will play onr part in exercising
the new conscience Of the world"

Mo-. and Oklahoma City. He is sched-
uled to return to Marion October II,
