Declares for Tax Modification
 The nominee declared the excess pro- fits tax schedule should be modified to accord with peace requirements and that he would not hesitate to ask con gresS for prompt action. He added, however. that he was "not-yet prepared to suggest an equitable substitute"
 The speech was delivered to a dele g.stion from Mansfield, Ohio, which came up in marching order and sere naded the candidate with four bands. Tn the crowd were many known person. ally to the candidate, and they cheered him as he held up their conception of neighborliness as model for the nation. Tn a short address of greeting F. B. Capelier of Mansfield told Senator Harding that many Democrats were In the delegation.
 After the nominees response he came . down the steps of the porch with Mrs ! Harding, who had stood behipd him , during the speech, and they shook hands for half hour
 Today's speech marked the formal opening of the front porch campaign. Two more Ohio delegations are to be received next week and two later dates have been announces.
 Hardina's Address
 I've ought to make wealth bear it's full share of taxation," Senator Hard ing said. "and we will. Having this thought in mind and also thinking of the excessive cost of living, I doubt if the excess profits tax for war pre- cisely -accomplishes the end we seek in peace. I would gladly recom- mend a change, but am not yet pre- pared to suggest an equitable subst1- tlIre, though I should have no hesitancy in asking congress to seek the earliest possible solution.'
 The league of nations he did not re- fer to directly, but he declared the na tion's highest duty is to cling to the fundamentals on which we buiIded, and hold fast to the nationality which inspired our onward march
 Tt is with a keen sense of delight that welcome your visit today said Senator Harding.
 We need to cultivate friendliness and neighborliness. I sometimes think in this busy, work-a-day world we are negiecting those little acts of neighbor- liness that make life sweet and worth unile.
 ST feel myself almost a part Of Rich land county. Our people, early in the last century, settled in section thar vas bounded by Richland and Craw- ford counties. and my earliest reeoi- . | lections are Of grists taken to Lexing- f n for grinding. I recall distinctly the stories of my great grandmother who rslated to me how she had oftee gone with one bag of wheat on horseback while the men were busy in the fields and the cries of the wolves were a ire uuent accompaniment to the wearied homeward journey. That was in the days when heroes were without flames acclaim, when a sturdy manhood and womanhood weer battling with the wii- derness.
 ..,rhe especial thought in my mind today is the inter-dependence and ths mutuality of interest of all our people The Pilgrim fathers laid their eterna foundations of New World liberty 1T grim. necessity, and the same spirit, the game concord, the same mutuality fos- ic wed every pioneering step in the de Jopment of the republic.
 Cautions Against Class Distinction
 The tendency to class consciousness Ia product of developing fortunes, and both d reflex of achievement and must caution against class distinction and class conflict at every step.
 T can recall 4o-cent wheat, flavet on1 the fields of RichIand and Nor rsw. That was before industry de Feloped the home consumer, that wa. before railways and improved highway: opened the way to markets. That wa. when farming was fight for subsist ence, instead of the present day pur E.ift of attainment.
 'T trust no one will misquote me a. swing I believe in Accent wheat be &use I have indulged my memory Sometimes we are very unfair in hand liag the utterances of public men.
 
 cussing the wartime guarantee or wheat. when we felt we ought to giv, the American farmer that assuranc which would encourage a seeding [, guard against war famine westerl senator was arguing that wheat couI, not be raised for less than $250 a bush e I interrupted him to say that well recalled that Ohio farmers, in pre- VT days, had rejoiced to get a doiIa for their wheat. l was speaking O s normal days prior to the war You vii bear me witness that I speak fairly ant correctly. Yet there are those toda, who seek to convey that said a dolla a busheI is enough for wheat today
