ICNCDtlOlI.
 Introduced by Gen. Felix Agnus. publisher of the Baltimore American, Senator Harding got his second dem onstratioE of the evening meeting when he arose to speak. It was more than a minute before the crowd was quieted.
 Early in the address Senator Hard ing had his first experience with heckling, when a man arose in the gal lery and asked whether he had ''scrapped' the league of nations. The nominees debate was an unaccepted challenge to debate the league with his interrogator and the crowd applauded. The senator was speaking of .'one man government when the interrup- tion came
 II want to ask" said the heckler, whether you have scrapped the league and whether you stand for Senator Johnson in his position?"
 Cries of put him out mingled with demands that the nominee answer the question and Senator Harding raised his hands for silence.
 II understand what prompted that question" said Senator Harding, and l want to- say that if l were in favor of one man government in this repub- lie, then 1 should be able myself to- answer yqour question. Idon't know whether 1 should turn my attention from these thousands to address my self to you personally, but If you will come to this platform I will divide my time with you to discuss this question.
 A tumult in the audience followed during which the heckler disappeared from the gallery He did not appear on the platform, however, and Senator Harding went on with his address with this preface
 Kind Words for Maryland
 'sI know Maryland would be the last place in which a presidential candidate would be met with discourtesy. I do not want to interrupt the continuity of my discourse and with your con- sent I will proceed with my line of thought
 More cheers followed this declara- ton but the senator's voice did not carry to the farthest corners of the great auditorium and a hum drum Of conversation and shuffling feet kept up Vacant patches began to appear among the seats in the most distant galleries and many of those who were standing filed out of the hall.
 At the conclusion of his prepared ad- dress the nominee replied more at length to the heckler's question.
 II might have answered him more extensively" said the senator. He wanted to know whether I had prom iSed to scrap the league. The one great failure to make the most of American leadership in the world was due to the fact that one man attempted to speak, not only for America but for the remainder of the world as we'll shouldn't do that.
 "rm perfectly frank to say to you that I am without a single program constructive in character about an as sociation of nations. I do know this one thing definitely, however: The Democratic nominee for president says he's in favor of going into the league as it was fashioned at Versailles I'm not in favor of going into that league When I'm elected president the firs' thing I'll do is to try to find plan for an association of nations behind which all America will stand"
 A merchant marine policy insuring accessibility to all markets Of the world linked with protective tariff system to foster the production at home were promised by Senator Hard
 Praises Merchant Marine Bill
 The Republican nominee praised the merchant> marine bill enacted at the last session of congress and assalieo the Democratic administration for nolicv toward American shipping and other factors of financial and indus trial rehabilitation
 With a new shipping act framed by Repubiicans now on the statute books Inc said. a new Republican administra-  to give the nation its proper place as sea carrier.
 Senator Harding also replied tc charges that the Republican platform and nolicies are "reactionary" declar- ing if was true that his party wanted tS react from an era of executive ,,Surnation and to re- establish orderly constitutional government under TOT ward looking progressive policies.
 Tn his armorY speech tonight th' ror,inee sounded a warning agalns "a flood of imports from debtor couh tries" which he said, might under r,fne American production by stinu Q IatinS a competition American indus trv rouId not meet without tariff pro lection. ..., ,o.,
