Final Campaign Trip.
[By Raymond Clapper, United Press
Staff Correspondent
MARION, Ohio, Oct Ex-senator
Warren G. Harding was to set out
from here on his final campaign trip
through Ohio shortly after noon to-
day, arriving at Cleveland for an ad-
dress tonight.
Harding will be on the road the
remainder OF the week. winding up
Hiss campssign at Columbus Saturday
night.
The nominee will travel on a regu-
lar train during the Ohio speaking
tour and has a leisurely schedule
which will permit Of many rear plat
form appearances. Whether he can
keep up the pace set on previous
trips depends on the cold from which
he is still suffering. A rainy week at
Marion has not helped his throat
along very rapidly, but his physician,
DR.. r. E. Sawyer, has been spraying
it regulrly and doing everything pos
sible to get 1t in shape for the strain
of this trip.
The statement Of Secretary of State
Colby regarding the alleged spolzes-
man claimed to have represented
Senator Harding IN conferences with
Nicolai Lenfne, bolshevist chief, was
viewed by some OF Harding's friends
here as an eleventh hour political de-
velopment and was instantly denied
by the nominee.
Harding denied having ever heard
of Washington D. Vanderlip, who
was said to have been Harding's rep
resentative negotiating with Lenine
for American recognition of soviet
Russia in the event of Harding's
Furthermore the senator
said he had no agent such as Van
derlip is alleged to be and knows
nothing of the matter.

/ that the Americanization which Sen
ator Harding and the republicans
have been preaching in the present
campaign Is spurious and invented
for party purposes only" President
Wilson today delivered a brief state,
ment to the delegation Of pro-leasue
republicans who called on him at tho
white house.
The president said he regretted
that the league Of nations issue was
ntermingled with partisan issues
'Tt Is to he feared" the president
said, that the supreme issue pre-
scented for yOrr consideration in the
present campaign Is growing more
ohsc,ne rather than clearer by reason
OF the many arbitrary turns that the
discussion has taken. 1t Is with a
desire to reciSFify the issue and to
assist your Judgment that I take the
liberty Of stating again the case SUBJ
mitted 10 you In as simple terms as
possible"
The statement, which the president
read, was one he had prepared to-
issue as his final campaign document
and was addressed to tiny fellow
icountrymen."
The president said that The war

Great Moral Obligation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The issue
facing the country is whether we
will make good or quit" President
Wilson said today in an appeal for the
league Of nations issued to my
fellow countrymen" The appeal was
read to deputaHon Of fifteen men
and women, members of the republi-
can party, who are supporting the
league of nations.
The president said the league issue
had become obscured in the present
campaign and he told the voters of
the country the whole moral force
of right in the world depends upon
the United States rather than upon
any other nation
Every candidate, the president said
should be tested by the question Of
whether he favors redeeming the
"great moral obligation of the United
States.
The president again held up article
x as the essence of the league, saying
it 'Ts the specific redemption of the
pledge which the free governments Of
the world gave to their people when
they entered the war"

ENROUTE WITH GOVERNOR
COX, MIDDLETOWN, Ohio, Get. 81
Fighting for the league of nations,
Governor James M. Cox today came
back" to Middletown, the little city.
where about thirty-fiye years ago he
was cub reporter and high school
student.
The democratic candidate was to
spend the day campaigning in the dis
trict where he was born and has lived
ever since. Tonight he was to speak
in Dayton, his home city. for the first
time since his speech Of acceptance,
August Z.
AS he wages the final battle, Cox is
attacking Senator Harding more
sharply than ever and is speaking
with a vigor that betrays little sign
Of his long strenuous work.
His voice is in excellent condition,
despite the fact he has used it every
week day since September 2. After
claiming that day after day" Senator
Johnson says Harding will scrap the
league and ex-President Taft that he
viii not, Cox charged that the repub-
lican candidate "is trying to gain the
presidency under false pretenses."
IT am not particular whether Sena-
tor Harding fools Johnson or Taft,
but I do intend to see to 1t that he
does not food the American people on
one of the greatest issues in the his
tory of our country" the governor
said.
Before leaving Cincinnati today,
Cox made a statement on the death OF
Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor Of
Cork.
"MacSwiney dies as a martyr to his
cause" he said. Martyrs don't sim
ply grow. Martyrs are not created
by the fleeting events of the hour.
Martyrs grow in consequences Of CEN
turtles of injustice and oppression.
believe that the martyrdom OF Mac
Swiney will enrage the English peo-
pie against what is now, as were the
English people enraged against the in
Justice that King George visited ON
the American colonies at the time OF
the American revolution.
A crowd that two hours before Cox
was to speak started to gather outside
an auditorium at Cincinnati last night,
broke down doors in order that a
heavy rain might not force them to
give up their chance of getting front
seats.

MARION, Ohio, Oct. 27.-The ex-
cidedly strengthened the cpinion,
which entertained at its beginning,
that the American people will insist
that those who seek the office for
which ! have been nominated shall
make their appeal for support with
consistent and becoming dignity.
They do insist, as in their right, that
those who seek the greatest gift
within the nations power to bestow,
shall frankly present their cause and
claims: and it has been my earnest
purpose fully and frankly to comply
with that proper requirement OF the
American people. But I am also con-
WINGED that whatever savors Of the
sensational or theatrical should be
avoided by whoever makes this ap-
peal.
So far as it lay in me, have done
my best to insure that this election
should be the great solemn referen-
dun for which President Wilson
asked and l am confident that when
the result is known it will be recog-
nized that the people have been
thinking deeply and rightly on the
great issues that have been involved.
1t will be recognized, in the light
of the result. that the people were in
no mood to be diverted by appeals
to prejudice or by efforts to intro
duce irrelevant matters into the Cam
paign. To me this has brought
gratifying reassurances of the secur-
lty of our national future.
The country has splendidly re
sponded to our efforts to show the
true nature OF the project in inter
nationalism to which some would
commit us, thoughtless of the effect
upon our nationality, and regardless
of the danger that acceptance of that
project would sacrifice both our ma
tional independence and our best in-a
nuence in the councils If civilization.
America stands at the Threshold
OF world leadership and has the cour-
age to grasp it. America realizes,
TOO, that this opportunity of leader
ship was well nigh lost to her
through the misapplied ambition to
shape world order, regardless of
every other consideration save am
nltlon's own determination to con-
troll.
Today the world looks to unselfish
america to lead the way to concord
and peace.
The republican party, and I as its
spokesman, intend that this hope
snail not be in vain
relieving this, / have discussed
with all earnestness the dangers
lurking in the Paris league of ma
lions. This is no time for trif1ing
appeals and thougf1tless words. This
ls time for sincere and earnest
and know that the
people VIII agree with me, |

STORING UP VITAL ENERGY
without Process ! 6sg a6ss Sn d ET6s'
the Hours of SIumber Life Could
Not Continue.

Following is from Practical Thera-
peutics by Henry Lindlahr, NJ. D.:
During sleep the liberation of vital
energy in the body continues as dur
Ing the wakeful hours Of active work,
and none is expended. The body acts
as a storage battery. A reserve of
vital energy is thus accumulated for
the work of the following day.
1.-THE moment consciousness wakcns
and mcntal activity begins the expend-
lture of vital force commences.
at Is for these reasons chat nothing
can take the place of sleep as n re-
storcr of vital energy. No amount OF
food and drink, no tones or stlmulants
can make good for lost sleep.
