of Internationalism.
BY Associated Press IN Every Evening

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Marion, Ohio, Sept. Ex-senator Hard
ing was to deliver front porch speech
today TO a delegation of about 400 mem
bers Of the Grand Army OF the Republic
who are on their way from Ohio cities TO
attend the national encampmcnt at In
dianapolis. Yesterday he and Mrs. Hard
ing shook hands with n delegation Of
veterans from Akron, Ohio but he made
no speech.
The Senator has four other front porch
speeches on his schedule for the week, in
cluding one on Saturday to members of the
Harding and Coolidge Travelling Mems
League
Harding headquarters today made
public a letter which the candidate has
addressed to Michael j. Hallinan Of
Brockton, Mass, in answer To letter re-
ceived from Mr.. Hailnan and signed by a
number Of Brockton labor men. The Hal
Imam letter had declared the signers to be
Americans first and members Of organiz-
ed labor second, opponents Of the League
Of Nations and asserting that the Massa-
chusetts State branch Of the American
Federation Of Labor had gone on record
three 10 one against the league.
Senator Harding reply said in part:
This has the ring Of real Americanism
and am delighted with the testimony that
organized labor has correctly estimated the
significance Of this issue. On this issue
organized and all other labor and all
citizens are going to get together 10 end the
submergence of our nation in information
alism. This issue, IN my judgment, is
doing more than anything else TO draw TO
gether the real American and patriotic
sentiment Of the country and 10 wipe out
all class and group distinctions. In the
face Of the menace of internationalisrn we
are all Americans first Our country will
do it's full share IN the world, in its own
way and time, but not under the orders Of
any supergovernment dominated by alien
