Chattanooga, Oct. 13.-To the
voters Of the south, Senator
Harding Wednesday addressed
an appeal for earnest considera-
tion of Republican principles
land gave a promise that Repub-
Elican success in the election
fwould mean "the same policy Of
helpful protection to all Ameri-
can production, north and
SOUTH"
The Republican nominee suggested
diversified policies" as the thing re-
quired to remove the last trace of sec
tlonal misunderstanding and said that
bis party had no policy for one section
that it did not preach for all sections
alike.
He attacked the Democratic party
Tor its conduct of it's affairs both at
home and abroad. President Wilson, he
said, repeatedly had dictated to congress,
even at the expense of violating pledges
OF his own party platform and finally
had attempted to force acceptance of the
League of Nations covenant by depriv-
Ing the senate of it's constitutional pow
ers.

ton. he said, had been responsible for
the war and voiced a hope that no sim
liar catastrophe would be courted by ac-
cepting a League covenant containing
score of antiquities"
Hooking back now, in the concord of
union" he said I'VE note no difference
in patriotic love Of country, north or
south. v

party devotion but 1t will be grand day
for America when our partisan difficult
ties are buried in the concord of new

are good for the north, they deserve the
earnest consideration of the south.

1--WE believe in southern factories and |
northern factories selling to America |
first. and we acclaim an industrial south |
as one of the essentials to the idal repub-
lie. !.
II want the selfreliant America, self
reliant agriculturally, self-reliant politi-
cally. That is why / insist that we
shall never accept q League OF Nations
with the material heart Of a military al
lance, to rule the world.
Branches Are Equal.
'@The people by their constitution. have
carefully enumerated the powers of their |
agents. Neither agent is
superior to the other, and neither owes
any degree or responsibility to the 9TH
er. For either to invade the field of
action delegated to the other is to usurp
the authority of the other. Congress,
while under Democratic control, was,
with out exception, a mere echo of the
executive. He did not inform them
from time to time respecting the state
Of the union, as the constitution con-
he told them what to do.
"The Democratic platform of 1912,
for example, declared for single term,
and q bill was actually introduced, and
think reported to the senate, to carry
this platform declaration into effect. But
the president not only compelled its
abandonment, but accepted a renomina
ton.

majority, it exercised no will Of its own
when the president said go it went
and when he said come it came.

am president is to reverse that tend
