HARDING'S GENUINE
AMERICANISM.

please tell us about what Senate
Harding said in his big speech
was Jack speaking, as usual teasin
IS his Uncle Ted for a story.
Il couldn't possibly tell you all Il
81 said tonight" answered Uncle Te,
3 "but if you and Ruth will promise I
, go to bed early tomorrow nish. T.
tell you all l can. You 1emembe
what l told you last week, how MI
Cox has stated that he is going I
fight for the World Club and how af
ter his talk with President Wilson
was shown by the statement botl
men made that Mr.. Wilson is stil IN
ruler OF the Democratic party. Sine
the day when Mr.. Cox aud Mir. Wilson
had their talk and it was shown |,
the world that if Mr. Cox were elect
eo President Mr.. Wilson would stil
rule the country, a great man ha.
made a great speech.
"On Thursday, July %, Senator
Warren G. Harding made the open.
ing speech of his campaign when ht
accepted the Republican candidacy
for President"
Did he say he wanted the World
Club" asked Ruth.
Il should say MOTT" answered Tn
Gle Ted. He knows, as we all know,
that we must have peace. But he is
not willing to have a peace at the
cost OF a World Club. When Mr.
Harding becomes President we will
have peace, and the right kind. In
his speech he said, I promise you
formal and effective peace so quickly
as Republican Congress can pass its
declaration for a Republican execu-
tive to sign In other words, if he
had been President when Congress
passed the resolution declaring peace
with Germany he would not have re-
fused to sign it as did Woodrow Will
son. He will not try to run the
whole Government without the advice
of other big men, neither will he try
to run it with disregard of the Con-
stitutiOn of the United States. On
this point he said, No man is big
enough to run this great republic.
There never has been one. Such DOM
ination was never intended After
the long years of rule in this country
by one man; after we have seen a
man sit in the White House who
cares more for the interests of fore
ign countries than he does for the
problems at home, it is a wonderful
relief to hear a man speak, who,
when he is seated in the White
House, will save this country from
the plots of Europe and Asia and who
will wipe one-man government and
from the face of Am
erica's map and replace it with the
good old-fashiOned nationalism that
started when the fathers wrote the
Declaration Of independence.
Suppose, kiddies, that we had not
lad men in the United States Senate
who refused to see our country drag
ged into a world club. If there had
not been that band of Senators who
refused to approve the world club as
Mr.. Wilson said it had to be, we
would undoubtedly be saying Good |
Bye to thousands of American boys
starting to Europe every few days to
light"
ITO fight for what?" asked Jack.
"To fight for Poland. The Russian .
)Olshevists, for Russia is now ruled .
~ bolsheVists, have been fighting,
rying to defeat and wipe out Poland.
Poland was set up as an independent
lation by the treaty of peace and
vas formerly a part of the Russian
Empire. Although they have now
topped fighting, under an armistice
uch as stopped the great war on No
'ember IL, 1918, the trouble will not
e settled so easily and more fighting
5 sure to follow. The Russians
hreaten to go into Poland with their
rmies, and because Poland is
member of the World Club the other
MEMBERS must join in the fighting.
we were a member of the World
lub today it might mean that almost
ny time we would have to send SOL
iers and money to help Poland if the
of the Club told us to.
lhen they read Article X of the
World Club plan and heard Mr.. Will
On say that this Article would bind
S to assist other members of the
Tub who might be attacked, the ma
Drity of the members of the Senate
lw that the United States would
e bound to send American boys to
ght foreign battles. So, in order to /
lard against being drawn into wars c
lat do not concern us, the majority
the Senate adopted a resolution /
lat relieved the United States from n
l obligations. This resolution kept
.e United States in the same position t
has always occupied; that is, that c
hen the interests of the country +
,mand our going to war we can do
by act of Congress. t
''We do not need to be a member of Il
e World Club in order to go to the
sistance of Poland, if the people b
ant to do so. In ten days, with Il
ecial session of Congress, we can
t to aid Poland but WE DO NOT s.
Nd MUST NOT BE FORCED TO DO h
UNDER A WORLD CLUB.
$50, kiddies, when the American al
ople go to the polls next November al
vote for President they can declare
at they favor sending American IL
Us overseas TO tight Tor foreign
untries by voting for Cox, or that a
sy want to keep out of quarrels
At don't concern us and return to al
by the Constitution by 81
ting for Harding" nj
L" bet they will vote for Harding"
d Jack. Jo
Yes, Jack, the American people w
mt to see us governed once again tn
the fathers intended, and when
lator Warren G. Harding is elect w
we can be sure that one-man gov re
lment is at an end"
