that he was not the candidate OF any
clique or combination. but was abso-

Senator's Address.
Senator Harding spoke as follows in
his Akron address:
Fellow Americans: Some profess
to sheer at the suggestion OF destiny
in national life. but ! have always be
lieved that the destiny of this new
world republic was written by an
infinite hand in the consciousness OF
Divine purpose. How else could 1t ne

veloped the greatest republic in the
world. the most nearly dependable
popular government. Aye. more. we
have made America the best place in
which to live under the shining sun.

preaching the gospel OF government
through political parties. I do not
want a party conducting government
for a permanent place in power. I
want party sponsoring our Ameri-
can government that thinks first of
serving the American people and of
writing intelligent American opinion
into the statutes and the policy Of this
republic.
II know pretty we'll that the Amer

the republican party back to service
in the nation. The American people
have always turned to the republican
party in their hour of anxiety and dis

II have very strong conviction
that you are going to elect a repub-

WHEAT PRICES WILL GO HIGHER

The Minneapolis journal of Thurs
day reports Argentine shipments for
the past week of only 1861 bushels
against 100000 bushels for the cor
responding August week last year
and against receipts in Minneapolis
for the one doy of 381 $50 bushels
This shows that he southern countries
are drained of their wheat and taken
in connection with export clearances
of 1,O15, 900 bushels of wheat and 5000
barrels of -four or total of 1,198,OOO
bushels of wheat, for the one days
exports, shows the absolute command
of the market by North Dakota. Our
farmers should market their wheat
only as they need the money to pay
urgent bills and labor and they will
force the speculative seller to buy
back his sales at higher prices.
Final report of shipments for last
week $4,000 bushels instead of $780,
900.
Total Argentine wheat shipments
since Jan. LIST, 1920, 189.247. 1000
against only 1;608, 900 for same per
iod in 1919. There is no wheat left
