HE'S AGAINST LEAGUE
Johnson Quotes Harding Copiously to
 Prove Contention
Bx Associated Press

Baltimore, October a. Senator Harding Is opposed unequivocally to the League of Nations, and, if elected, will not lead the United States into it, Hiram Johnson of California, sem atorial irreconciliable, told large au- dsence at the Lyric theatre tonight.
 In his address Senator Johnson re- ferred to tho recent statement fssued in New York by E1fhu Root and oth- CTS
 Men and newspapers who pretend to te friends of Senator Harding and who assert that he is to take this country into the League of Nations do him a distinct dis s-service and pay him sorry compliment,'' he declared.
 q do not care,- he said, referring tc the statement given out recently by 31 prominent prologue republican ns headed by Elihu Root, If 31 gentle men in New York or 310o0o gentlemen ir New York say the reverse of what I contend. Here are the words of War ren G. Harding and upon those words, be is entitled to the support of every red-blooded American.-
 Turning to direct attack of the league Senator Johnson characterized it as the overshadowing pail of the re- public, denounced it as military all liance and lone made in accordance with secret treaties"
 Quoting copiously from the Harding speeches, he declared that the candi- date has without any ambiguity, put the league behind him and has made 1t plain that he will not make the United States party to the present league in any form.

 On behalf of the Chamber of Com nierce pr. Barnett presented each of the distinguished visitors with a replica Of Vulcan" patron saint of Birmingham, in bronze.
 MT. Hawley introduced the visiting contestants and Lieutenant Governor Miller welcomed them on behalf of Birmingham.
 On behalf<of the visitors Captain De- Lavergne, aerial attache for the French embassy thanked the people of Bir- mingham for their. hospitality.
 When we see the flags of France, Italy and Belgium through the sky of your beautiful nation it will indeed De the emblem of friendship" said Captain DeLayergne. We could see during the wonderful parade tonight that you had for each of us shelter in your hearts where each country has it's place. Spontaneously at the sound of the band and the cheering of the people we remembered the friendship which bands us together and has it's origin in that legion of a million boys who came with smiles on their lips to enter the great battle for world freedom. A nation lives not as much in the millions of people who live at pres ent as in the millions who have die ] to make her greatness. Your Ameri- can boys who died on European soil are our bond of love and sympythy."
