 Harding Speech

Marion, O., July 16.--Another full work day was given by Senator liar. ding today to his speech accepting the republican nomination for president Tonight the text was nearing compile tion, but final touches remained to be added before the manuscript could be given to the printer.
 Working almost without interrup tion, the candidate put in one of the most arduous days in the two weeks since he returned to Marion, which itself has been the busiest period he has seen in years. He turned aside from the speech, only once or twice to dispose of urgent correspondence and he abbreviated his lunch period and hurried through the brief confer ence with his local managers.
 He did send telegram to the me- morial committee of the American Legion relative to cancellation of a tentative speaking engagement at the dedication of Memorial park in St. Louis, July 25. The committee had wired that the change would not sus- pend it's plans for the dedication, and he replied that he was pleased to know the ceremonies would be held regard less of his inability to speak.
 The tentative engagement was can celled, the senator explained because the date came between his formal noti- fication and that'of Gov. Coolidge.

 Marion waited until dark, then took the pliers and began work on the door. Finally he twisted the lock back and the bolt was sprung. He tried the door and it was open He closed it and waited. About 10:4O he finished his scribbling. Noise lessly he swung the big door open. Then he slipped the plate between two bars in plain view where Ser geant Hendershot--"some jailer at night"- see it. About that time Marion heard footstep near the corridor He dived under the patrol in the adjoining room and law still. The footsteps came nearer and Marion, with the door and the street thirty feet away. was afraid to move. Then he held his breath. Hendershot had come back to the cells to see how "everything was" He found the plate. Then he stepped into the room where the patrol is kept. McClaran lay still. Tender shot looked around the room and saw nothing. Then he peered under the auto. McClaran was "asleep." Hendershot woke him up.. Then he put him back into another cell, kept the pliers himself and gave McLar- an another plate.
