Indianapolis, Oct. IA
Asserting that America must
do everything she can" to
prevent future wars, Sena-
tor Harding renewed to-
night his declaration of six
weeks ago that in organizing
the sentiment of the world
for peace he favors taking
all that is good in the Ver-
sailles league of nations.
Quoting from his league
speech Of August %, he
pointed out that he declared
on that occasion that the
.laegne night be "anl To-!
or revised" if it's preserva-
ton were found necessary
to the peace of Europe.
StaGnancy, Unemployment.
Senator Harding in his night
speech here declared it was the re-
publican party which now offered
"a constructive and progressive
program" to readjust American af
fairs. Democratic neglect, inef-
ficiency, waste and wild eXtrava
gance" he denounced in a vigorous
assault on the administration by
\, TT, I. ha iFtN FIyn .
being led toward another crisis
of stagnancy and unemployment" "
He predicted that the people would
not permit any one to write a
third chapter of the democratic
book of destruction"
Sensible men and women will
wonder" he continued. "at the as
sumption of those who. having no
practical program to offer at home,
no constructive proposal to make
for America. should be going the
length and breadth of the land pro-
posing that the league of nations
as negotiated by the president
should be adopted. A democratic
president, even if he were elected,
would not be able to bind the
American people or mortgage their
conscience under article ten for the
simple reason that he could not
summon sufficient votes in con-
gress to support his program. His
attempt would result in another
stalemate, and an unwilling Ameri-
ca would find herself just where
she has been ever since the bum
gled negotiations at Paris,
TomlinsOn Hall Packed.
Tomlinson hall was packed to
the outside steps for the senator's
night meeting. The cheering last
ed nearly five minutes.
AS the candidate began speaking
a man in the gallery shouted "Hur-
rah for Cox" and a chorus of pro-
test in which many demanded that
the interrupter be thrown out was
quieted by the nominee.
NO, don't throw him out" said
Mr.. Harding. This isn't a cam
paign of throwing anybody out,
This Is a campaign of appeal to
reason. The only people were 60
ing to throw out Is the administra-
ton at Washington"
1.-THE incident, however, recalls
to my mind that I like the front
porch idea of campaign as origi-
mated in Indiana by one Of the
great statesmen of his time. Ben
jamin Harrison. In America there
ought to be respect for the aspira-
tions If not for the person of
candidate for president. There
ought to be respect for the office
If not for the candidate. And
every untoward incident leads to
Misrepresentation"
In his discussion of the league
the nominee referred to the pro-
vision in the naval bill of 1915 re-
questing the president to appoint
commission to inaugurate an as
sociation of nations for peace.
