DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 7.-Rejec
tion, not Interpretation, should be the
late OF obligations imposed by the
league OF nations covenant, Senator
Warren G. Harding declared in a
speech here today.
Harding met democratic queries as
to his view about "scrapping'' the
league with the retort that It is futile
to talk about "scrapping" something
already -scrapped."
His speech here today was the first
Of q number Of addresses scheduled
on this trip. Although speaking in a
Republican stronghold, Harding has
been informed hard fight is being
made against the reelection OF Sena
tor Cummins, co-author OF the Esch
Cummins railroad act, and he In
cluded warm endorsement OF Cum
minis in his speech.
Taking up the league, Harding ad
vocated an America wholly self-re
liant and Independent politically.
Whether President Wilson Is te
be blamed or thanked for the result
the fact remains that the Paris league
has been 'scrappef by the hand oa
Its chief architect" Harding said.
1The issue as made by the demo
cratic president and the democratic
platform and the candidate does moi
present the question whether they
shall favor some form of association
among the nations for preserving In
ternational peace, but whether they
favor the particular league proposed
by President Wilson.
THE obligations are clear enough
and specific enough. I do not want
to clarity these obligations; I want
to turn my back on them. It is not
Interpretation, but rejection, that
am seeking. Ny position is that the
proposed league strikes a deadly blow
at our constitutional integrity and
fsurrenders to dangerous extent oul
Independence of action"
Europe, Harding continued, 4 is
ready to recognize Americas mora
leadership.
aAs soon as possible after my elec
tlon, shall advise with the best
minds in the United States and
especially l shall consult in advance
with the senate, with whom, by the
terms of the constitution, shall in

whose consent no such Interpretation

to put them over and it is wonder
ful thing to pitch ones way out of a

ideal for the world contest between

"On the whole, the pitching has

T0DOGGAN SLIDE AND
SKATING RINK | PLANNED
Recreation Board Of Red Cross
Forms Plans for Recreative
.. Sports for Winter

That Bemidji's young people might
have an opportunity for clean out
door recreation i; during the winter
months, the recreation board Of the
Red Cross has, completed plans for a
skating rink and toboggan slide to
be located on the City park property
on Lake boulevard at the end of
Tenth street. This, project has been
under consideration for several weeks
but no definite action was taken on
the subject until the board met on
Wednesday afternoon To complete its
plans.
Various committees have been APP,
pointed to get the project under way
and it is believed that work will be
started on the construction at once
.Bemidji's skating season is as a rule
very. short, snow interfering with the
skating on the lakes very early in
the Winter. For this reason it was
decided to furnish Il skating rink
which will be kept in condition dur
ing the entire winter.
The proposition will necessarily be
financed by local organizations and
civic societies since the Red Cross is
not permitted to spend money in this
way. Several larger organizations
have already. pledged their support
and the smaller bodies will be called
on within a few days.
Rev. l.. p. Warford of the First
Presbyterian church was chosen as
the representative of the local min
listers on the recreation board.
