 The world federation also adopted reso- utions demanding that Congres deny citizenship rights and privileges to brewers and others whose business had been outlawed in this country" if they attempt to invade foreign territory to continue their business.

HARDING PROC[A|MS FINANCIAL POLICY
Charges Administration Has Invited Industrial Chaos By Wedding and Experi-
 mentation
 By Associated ~ress

Marion, Ohio, September 25.-An ad-
 ministrative policy to stabilize finan-
 cial conditions and make American
 government the friend and partner of
 American business" was proclaimed
 by Senator Harding today in a front
 porch speech to delegation of travel
 ing salesmen.
 tration had invited industrial chaos
 by meddling and experimentation, the republican nominee declared he
 wanted 'it explicitly understood that my election to the executive office
 means complete change from the one
 man policy which has characterized our national government during the past seven years"
 He also reiterated his accusations of democratic extravaganza and mis-
 management in the expenditure of public funds, and asserted his purpose to reorganize many departments of the federal government on an efficient and economical basis. In that task, he said, he would summon the counsel of the ablest administrators of the coun- try.
 One of the largest crowds of the front porch campaign, composed of commercial travellers from many cities, heard the speech and cheered the nominee many times, as he contrasted his business policies with those of the Wilson administration. Arriving on several special trains, the delegation marched to the Hard ing residence, bowling a tumultuous greeting to the nominee, and with the aid of the Columbus Republican Glee club two bands and three cheer lead CTS, serenaded him for half an hour with campaign songs and patriotic airs.
 Standards bearing the names of more than a score of cities were in the parade and there were many banners pledging support. Several of the mot toes referred to Governor Cox's alleged attitude toward business and traveling statesmen, one of the largest reading '.Traveling men-Jimmie Cox's para sites Hardings Business ambassa- dors.
 A delegation of republicans from Franklin county, Ohio, headed by a negro band, arrived in the midst of the serenade and made a noisy contribu- tion to the demonstration. J. H. Kazar of Bloomington, H., was the spokesman for the salesmen, who came under the auspices of the Hard ing and Coolidge travelling mems iedsue. lie suggested that repreSen- tative of the travelling salesmen should hold membership on the interstate commerce commission and in reply the senator said the salesmen ought to be represented" in the federal government because they are an~ important factor ] in industrial life.
 Most of the senator's day was given l over to receiving the salesmen's dele 1 gations and to conferences with it's l leaders.

that for while were scored in the
wheat market. The backwardness OF

to uncertainties associated with adj
yocacy of an embargo on imports OF
Canadian grain and with efforts of
domestic farmers for concerted re-
fusal of current prices. Later, how
ever, signs of persistent hedging were
evident, and it was said country Of

almost unanimous that there was no
