Harding Favors
Good Points in
LeagueCovenant
Points Out That Document
Coul d be Amended if Pres.
ervation Is Necessary to
Peace of Europe

Indianapolis, Oct. 15.-Asserting
that America must do Everything
she can" to prevent future wars, Ser
ator Harding renewed his declara-
ton of six weeks ago, that in organ
izing the sentiment Of the world for
peace he favors taking all that is
good in the Versailles league of ma
tions.
Quoting from his league speech of
August %, he pointed out that he
declared on that occasion that the
league might be amended or revised
if its preservation were found neces-
sary to the peace of Europe.
"When elected" he said, "I will
Immediately summon the best minds
of America to consult and advise as
to Americas relationship to the
present association of nations and to
notifications of it, or substitutes for
it. The senate and Our party have
recognized much good in a new
world fellowship and cooperation,
but we insistently reject all that
menaces America. We must sepa-
rate the wheat from the chaff."
In all his speeches the candidate
argued for preserved nationalism and
urged the election of a republican
congress, making special appeal
for Senator James E. Watson, who
accompanied him on his train.
Arriving here late, he was cheered
through crowded streets during an
automobile parade and later shook
hands with several hundred at a
public reception at his hotel.
Senator Harding also touched in
his night speech here many of the
other issues of the campaign and de-
clared it was the republican party
which now offered "a constructive
and progressive program to read
just American affairs. Democratic
neglect, ineficiency, waste and wild
extravaganza" he deounced IN Wig
orous assault on the administration,
by which he declared the nation was
being led toward another crisis of
stagnancy and unemployment. He
predicted that the people would not
permit anyone to write a third
chapter of the democratic book of
destruction"
