MARION, Ohio, Sept. 15.-Urging the adoption of a new proposal for preven- tion of war instead of ~the league of nations. Senator Harding, in a message today to the Republican womens or Eanizations and Women'S Harding and Coolidge clubs, asked that we preserve our own national conscience al home and not check it at Geneva"
 The message which was addressed to Mrs. Ray F. Fucker, president of the romenis Harding and Coolidge club of New York City, and sent to all women S organizations, also asserted that American women must realize that the league of nations as presented by a Democratic administration, would not mean peace for us but would mean American boys living in army tents overseas, and asked to die in causes in which they would have no heat.'
 The message was intended to set forth to women voters the candidates views their entrance into <politics. why they should enroll in the Republi- can party and a brief outline of the party's position on the league of na- tions. Senator Harding said he expects in the near future to make a compre- hensive discussion of the league from the women's viewpoint, in a front porch speech.
 Popular Trend to Harding
 Before leaving for Columbus to play golf today. Senator Harding conferred with Dr. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn. Dr. Hills later gave out statement in which he said that possibly one reason why the tide is ebbine away from the party in power is because the people think that Governor Cox illustrates the law of arithmetical progression" Be- ginning with the charges that the Re- publicans were spending eight million dollars in buying the presidency, he jumped to s15.000, 900 and yesterday to s5o,000.000 and soon probably, in the spirit of progression, will have the Re publicans spending the total annual in- come of the nation as a corrupt fund and the next week he will have us bor- rowing money from Germany. Sidney Smith once said concerning certain fables that a superstition was dead whenever "the people begin to laugh at it."
 Says Harding Deals Fair to All
 Why is the tide running so strongly towards Senator Harding? The serious note in the senator's thinking; his at mosphere Of self-restraint; the serenity Of d man conscious of his reserves. his generous Judgments of those who differ with him; the total abence of any bit terness in any word of any speech; his spirit of kindness, his good will his big broad Americanism, his constant use of the words pack to the constitution, the way in which he restrains his friends with the words remember that this is a government of law and not of men, the earnestness with which he uttered these words this morning
 My primary purpose in these speeches is the building of American manhood and strengthening of Amer ican institutions; my secondary ambi- tion is to be president Of the United States. But would @ thousand time. rather lose the presidency and be con. scious that have done something fo American manhood and American in. stitutionS than gain the presidenc, through any word or deed that migh weaken faith at home or abroad in ou free institutions or injure the quality O American manhood al that has convinced tue American peo pie that at last there is a man that i equal to and in a sense bigger than an, office whatsoever
