Washington, July 1.-Declaring the
lNation requires no council of foreign
lpowers to point the way Of American
duty" Senator Harding. republican
nominee for president, in his first
pcampaign speech yesterday urged the
preservation of Americanism as the
sfirst and highest endeavor of all citi-
,xens Of the republic.
The candidates first utterance OF
Ithe campaign was heard by no audi
yence, being made for a Photographic
record to be released on the Fourth
.of July and to be used throughout the
campaign. A copy of the address was
made public, and with it a speech
made last week by Governor Cool
idge of Massachusetts, the party's
,vice presidential nominee for a simi-
liar purpose
Senator Harding chose American
ism" as his subject, while Governor
Coolidge spoke on Law and Order" :"
America" Mr.. Harding said, does
not mean to hold aloof chooses no
isolation and shuns no duty, but" he

added that "it is very practical to
make sure our own house is in order

no thought Of nationality in the revo-
luton for American independence. The
colonists were resisting a wrong and
achieved, nationality was the only
agency suited to its preservation.
"Americanism really began when
robed in nationality, the American
Republic became the blazed trail OF
