 Has Message for Marines.
 "I assume that your coming here" said Senator Harding, "Is due in large part to the fact that I am candi- date for the presidency. It is be- cause I feel more deeply about it every day that I want to tell you, American citizens, and through you as many Americans as possible-my idea of the responsibilities of can- didate for the highest office the people can bestow.
 Candidates Obligations.
 "I have said to myself: You owe it to the citizens of America to pre- serve the attitude and the mind of one who serves as well as he can.' As I see it, I owe it to the men and women of America to guard against all pretense. As l see it, I owe it to them to state fully and clearly my beliefs with all ithe sincerity there is in me.
 '.As l see it l must not, as I seek to gain votes for my party, yield to the temptation which often comes to men who are candidates, to make false appeals and appeals, though they might be successful at the moment, do not serve truth or do not meet the requirements of our na- tional dignity.
 "As see it, 1 must not drag the attention of the American people into a mire when it is their wholehearted desire that their attention should be centered upon the problems which we all wish to face bravely and wisely and together, As see it, must con- centrate my attention upon construc- ton and not upon abuse. As I see it, I must be patient and tolerant with those Americans who may differ with me.
 ''If I were to stoop to insincerity, to mere clamor, to political expediency, to appeals to special classes, I would be failing in that purpose which trust shall always be mine; not my own interest, not even the interest of my party first, but America first"

Gorbach arose and expressed his belief that there was sufficient ma terial right in New Britain from which to pick a strong candidate and that he was in favor of such a course.
 This morning, Committeeman Gorbach admitted that the three men named. Messrs. Halloran. Me- Donough and Tallard. were those whom he had in mind. There has been considerable talk in democratic circles for the past month concern ing the possibilities of running one of the trio and it was not easy to guoss who the committeeman had in mind. He said there was no one else whom he had in mind although there was a possibility that other democrats might be brought forward. Asked if he was considering becom- ing a candidate. Mir. Gorbsch said he was not.

 PLEA TO PRESIDENT
Wilson Asked to Intervene to Save Life of Ter
 renee MacSwiney.

London. Sept. Airs. Terence MacSwiney has cabled President Will son an appeal in behalf of her hus- band, the lord mayor of Cork who has for several days been in critical condition as a result of hunger strike.
 Mrs. MacSwiney asked Mir. Wilson to use your influence with the Eng fish government to prevent the per- petration of an outrage on civiliza- tion." She declared her husband is dying.
 Mayor MacSwiney was apparently weaker this morning and the prison doctors expressed great alarm. They advised his relatives that nobody should converse with him today.
 Spent a Bad Night.
 The lord mayor spent a bad night. This morning he was very pale and suffering from complete exhaustion, being able to speak only in gasps. His brow was heavily wrinkled and his face was considerably shrunken. He was still conscious, however.
 Sean MacSwiney. his brother. re- mained with him during the night and other members of the family are maintaining a constant watch.
 Can't Speak Above Whisper.
 Annie MacSwiney. the lord mayors sister. on leaving Brixton jail at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon said her brother was at his very lowest Acting on the doctors advice she did not att tempt to converse with the lord mayor. but read to him. As Miss MacSwiney left the bedside her brother signifed that he wished to give her a message. She had to place her ear. almost upon his lips to catch the communication.
 English Reason.
 London, Sept. 4.-Reasons why the government will not release Lord Mayor MacSwA1ey are given in an official statement issued today. They are that fresh attempts would be made to continue with added activ- ity the long series of murders of policemen" and would open the way to any person imprisoned for any similar offense to use the case of the lord mayor as a precedent, with good hopes of securing release and the opportunity to repeat the acts which led to his incarceration"
