 ON BOARD SENATOR HARDING'S i SPECIAL TRAIN. Sept. 30.-Senator Harding's special train escaped a seri- ous wreck by hairs breadth today as 1 it was carrying the Republican nomi- nee across West Virginia on the last ] leg of his last campaign trip.
 His private car Ideal left the rails ner Mill wood, a small mountain will l lage and with it's trucks banging them l selves to pieces over the railway ties | was dragged acrosss a high and mar row trestle at the rate of 30 miles an hour The train came to a stop beyond the chasm just as rear wheels of the 'IdeaP' Veered off the ties entirely and | buried themselves in the gravel. | The other cars of the train did not | leave the rails and no one was injured. A defective casting in the front truck. which jolted to pieces as the car crossed a switch, was blamed by rail officials fo1. the accident. In it's perilous career, the heavy car splintered ties and snap ped off rail bolts for more than 300 yards and two of the ties in the treStle it crossed entirely.
 Tonight the special minus the aban- doned Ideal" turned northeast for Marion, the senator completing his three day trip with two evening ad- dresses in Ohio. During the day he had SpOhtu III eb lsAAL ttOHCAA VI NSN IT ssAiAAN- cities and had addressed big after nooon meeting at Ashland, Ky.
 Americanism Topic of the Day. AmericanisTn, representative govern ment and government economy featur- ed the nominees speeches and he also touched on most of the other issues ot 1 the campaign. At Ashland he con ldemned pork barrelll" river and harbor legislation and asked for a more effie- ] tent development of the nations inland 1 waterways.
 Speaking to crowd at Mason City. w Va, he compared his abandoned private car to the American car of state
 "The great car of state" he said, "go- ing forward to the fulfillment of na- tional engagement, somehow got off the track last year over in Paris and 1t lett things in very bad order and think maybe in crossing the trestle of inter nationalism in the senate, to prevent us from completely leavng the track, we might have had a very serious wreck for the United States.
 'So am telling you that instead of 1 trying to put broken 1p car back on the track let us cut it loose and go on and keep your engagements with all the world
 The aIlusion aroused a cheer. An !. i other shout of approval came during 3. speech at Parlxersburg, W. Va, when | in reference to Governor COXs dis cussion of the America first slogan in South Dakota, last night, the Ke- publican nominee said:
 T note by the morning papers that : some one has taken up that slogan , and tried to compare 1t with that useo : by the Germans during the war. some . how or other the comparison has ap- pealed to me. And noted m a ll'! conc quy between the Democratic candl- date and a citizen of German origin that it was attempted to make the slogan America first appeal as one of selfishness and an ultimate menace ! for use in our relations with the res1 of the world. I do not know that can pronounce correctly the vel known slogan of the Germans Deutsch- land Uber Alles but this meant. l un- ' derstand. that they were thinking o1 , Germany first.
 ] And I beg to remind my country l men that under the spirit of 40 years practice in Germany, under that slo- gan, Germany became industrially the l most eminent. educationally the mos ] influential. progressively the most no table, well known in the accomplish ment of art, and most conspicuous IF widened commerce Of any people in the world.
 You know what rended it all. Only the arrogance and autocracy of one man who turned the influence anC
 
 one tragic. spectacle of history Anc so take the lesson from Germany anc I warn you, my countrymen, let us not have one-man dictatorship in the United States.
 At Huntington. w. Va, the senator spoke from a stand erected near tho railway station to a crowd Whlcl damned the street for block away and cheered the nominee many times
 Mrs. Cristine Bradley South, daugh ter of former Senator Bradley, intro
 duced Senator Harding at the Ashland meeting and in opening his address th' candidate expressed his qualification of the adoption of the woman suffrage amendment.
 The senator trapped the Wilson ad-
 minis tration for it's insistence at thu
 suggestion of d foreign power tha
 American ships must pay tolls on thu Panama canal In his failure to abro
 gate certain commercial treaties, h.
 added. President Wilson again hat l 'Iistened to voice from abroad
 In his Ironton speech, Senator Hard
 ing restated his position on the league
 saving he desired to clear up all doub in the minds of those who seemed L
 think that T do not know just where
 stand on the issue or that there is an,
 inconsistency between my present at
 titude and my attitude in the senate"
 As your spokesman in the senate,
 he said. T could only deal with tn
 question as it was presented to us b
 the president. and 1 did all l coul to protect American independence. Bu
 when I become president. as l expec
 shall | will be the party to negO tfatc the treaties, and I'm very sur
 Til negotiate something different fror zoo that which was handed to the senat B by the present president
