Br0adside at Opponents

Marion. O.. July 30-Senator
Harding prefaced his front porch
campaign tonight with a statement
again asking Governor Cox for spe-
cifications of the democratic stand
on the league of nations, and
charging that powerful interna-
tional interests" concerned in Pres
fdent Wilson's foreign policy were
preparing to finance literally the
democratic campaign.
He declared it had become ap-
parent that the democratic cam
paign managers hoped to keep the
league in the background, but he
promised they would not be per-
mitted to do So
THE more the democrats at
tempt to get away from this issue, .
he said, ''the more insistent the
e country will be to know what they
intend to do if they are entrusted
with the administration"
Cox and White Disagree?
Referring to the conference at
Dayton yesterday between Cover
nor Cox and Senator Walsh of
Massachusetts, democratic sup
porter of the republican treaty res
erYations, Senator Harding said it
was evident they had not agreed
on article ten and that the demo-
cratic nominee was standing by the
president for ratification of the
league without essential modifica-
tions.
The statement also ra pped George
II. White, the democratic natf5nai
chairman, for his criticism Of the
republican plan to hold campaign
contributions to $1,000 each, and
! predicted by November the coun-
try would show its disapproyal of
unlimited campaign funds.
Undoubtedly it is quite true"
he continued, .that certain pow
erful international interests deep
ly concerned in carrying out the
administrations foreign policy are
prepared to contribute most liberal
ly to the democratic funds. Tn
doubtedly it is true, too, that with
out such contributions, the demo-
Gratis would find it difficult to
raise the funds they need"
The candidate did not reveal
whether he would make the league
issue a feature of his first front
porch address tomorrow, but those
in his confidence said he was pre-
pared to follow up the fight with
other public utterances soon. To-
morrOw's address is to be delivered
to a delegation from Mansfield. o.
Harding's statement.
Senator Harding's statement
said:
"Our democratic friends are hav-I
ing difficulty getting away from
the embarrassment incident to their
candidates visit to the White
House, and the announcement that
he and the president found them
selves in entire accord.
AT the time of their conference.
/ addressed some questions to the
democratic candidate, which he has
not thus far seen fit to answer.
One was whether in his conference
with President Wilson he had
pledged himself to the ratification
of the treaty and league without es-
sential notifications. Another was
whether article ten had been ac-
cepted by him. Still further,
asked whether Governor Cox had
undertaken, if elected, to renew
the demand that this country take
q mandate over Armenia. / asked
whether Governor Cox had under
taken to maintain the administra-
tion policy in the Adriatic, where
their policy has already well nigh
forfeited the friendship of the Ital-
ian nation. brought Italy to the
verge of revolution, and almost
wrecked the establishment of the
peace. | asked whether Governor
Cox had pledged himself to insist,
as President Wilson has heretofore
insisted, that Thrace shall be set
tied as Bulgaria desires rather than
as Greece desires.
"In short, | asked whether the
democratic nominee has taken over
the various known and unknown
commitments of the administra-
tons foreign policy in order to es-
tablish harmony between the presi-
dent and Governor Cox. ~
