Maron, O., Jul y 22.-Responding to the notification address of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator Warren G. Harding delivered an address which he declared in his opening statements was an attempt to Interpret the cov-
 enant of a great political party.'
 Declaring his advocacy of a party gov ernment in preference to an individual, personal, dictatorial or other form of
 government, Senator Harding then plunged into discussion of the cam paign issues, placing his interpreta- tlon on the declarations contained in the party platform.
 On the league of nations issue, which Senator Harding accepted as the paramount issue of the campaign. he announced course which would first have the senate conclude peace with Germany, and then attempt the formation of world league. He had first declared that America must re- store popular government, which would include chief executive, cabi- net and members of the house and senate working in utmost harmony with all other agencies of government, in ideal which he said could be achiev- ed only through the agency of the Republican party. Of peace, Senator Harding said: Tn the call of the conscience of America is peace, peace that closes the gaping wound of world war and silences impassioned voices of international envy and distrust. Heeding this call and knowing as do the disposition of congress, promise you formal and effective peace so quickly as Republican con- gress can pass it's declaration for Republican executive to sign
 Of the league covenant submitted by President Wilson, the nominee said: It will avail nothing to dis cuss in detail the league covenant which was conceived for the world government, negotiated in mis- understanding and intolerantly urged and demanded by it's administration sponsors.

 Broaching then this plan for the conclusion of peace and then the es- tablishment of world league, Sena- tory Harding set forth his opinion in this statement: With a senate ad- vising as the constitution contem- plates 1 would hopefully approach the nations of Europe and of the earth, proposing that understanding which makes us a willing participant in the conservation of nations to a new relationship, to commit the moral forces of the world, America included, to peace and international justice, still leaving America free, independ- ent and self-reliant, but offering friendship to all the world
 Of the nations industrial problem, the Republican nominee said that the chief trouble was the destruction of in the world war, the United States now falling to mini-N nuns instead of maXimums in indus | try. In this connection, he declared that the giving by the wage earner of full value for the higher wages paid, is the best assurance the nation can have that the cost of living will be l reduced. He declared that increased production is the only solution of the living cost problem and then plunged into a lengthy discussion of indus try, ending this phase of his address with a reference to Bolshevism and anarchistic tendencies, which he said can not be checked by a policy of suppression, but rather by steadiness upon the part of all citizens.
 Collective bargaining was approved in this statement; We do not op-I pose, but approve collective bargain ing, because that is an outstanding
