SENATOR REVIEWS .IseHACES AGAINST PRESIDENT WILSON
 
RkiterateS Administration Not
 We'll Conducted Dur ing War

Buffalo, Oct. Charging that the Democratic party had attempted to "blind" the voter to domestic is sues by devoting it's campaign ener- gies to m already rejected foreign program, Senator Harding told a
 crowd tonight that the first real
 real duty. of the nation in discharg-
 ing it's obligations to the world was
 to put it's own house in order" In world readjusting itself after
 the trials of war, said the nominee, the United States could best lend it's aid to distressed foreign nations by setting an example of steadfast de- mDcfacy and equal opportunity. Tersely he reviewed the program for domestic rehabilitation presented by him in his many campaign speeches and declared the progressive thought of the country should turn to such a program rather than concern it. self longer with the Versailles league covenant.
 Makes Two Speeches.
 Making his second extended speech of the day, the candidate spoke here in the Broadway auditorium. Earlier in the day, at meeting in Roches- ter, Senator Harding had stated
 again his position on the league and had challenged democratic critics to show wherein he had been inconsis-
 tent.
 The auditorium speech was the
 last of the campaign on Senator 1 Harding's speaking schedule outside his homo state. Leaving late tonight his special train will reach Marion tomorrow morning. In his refer
 ence to the league of nations here to-
 night, the nominee said there was nc difference between him and Governor Cox Gin our ralization that the Am erican people desire to enter into some kind of an association of na- tions which will prevent war and in { terweave all peoples with the bonds I of peaceful cooperation.
 "But there arc two marked differ ! &Aces between us,' he continued, "the ] first of these is to be found in the { fact that my opponent is insisting
 upon the adoption of the unchanged Paris league of ations. The Re Iapublican position is the exact op' posite of that position. The Ameri, ] can people, as we'll as the senate o1 the United States, long ago rejected the presidents plan which my oppon' ent is now trying to keep alive. Ever if my opponent were elected he woule be unable to put his program into effect and America would have te wait, for many years, perhaps, be fore she could be united upon any policy.
 q consider it much more construc tive to refrain from dictation of an! inflexible policy, consider it more { constructive to show willingness tt consult America, to harmonize Amer ica. to consult the best opinion o1 America, the senate of the United States and the will of the people.
