article ten as menace to tranquil
relations among American citizens,
Senator Harding declared in a front
porch speech today if he had to
choose, he would rather have in
dustrial and social peace at home
than command international peace
of the world"
ut is folly" he said. ito think
of blending Greek and Bulgarian,
Italian and Slovak, or making any
of them reioicingly American,
when the land of adoption sits IN
judgment on the land from WHICH
he came.
I'VE need to be rescued from the
visionary and fruitless pursuit or
peace through super government. l
do not want Americans of foreign
birth making their party align
ments on what we mean to do with
some nation in the old world. Our
need is concord, not antipathies OF
long inheritance.
Cheers Greet Speech.
The speech was delivered to a
delegation from Wayne county,
Ohio, who greeted the candidate
with cheers and interrupted fire.
quently with applause.
In conference with other callers
earlier the nominee declared his
iaI n IN ha pnrnh n a =
paign policy and indicated he ex-
pected to make no speeches away
from Marion until October. He
declined an invitation they brought
to address the West Virginia repub-
lican club on August IL.
1t was said at his headquarters
that his position would not suspend
tentative plans for speaking trips
later and that some definite decis-
ion might be expected at the con-
ferece of republican chiefs in New
York tomorrow.
Discusses Suffrage.
Among the senator's other call
ers were Mrs. Abbey Scott Baker
of the national womans' party, who
asked for more help to secure rati-
fication of the suffrage amendment
and Wayne B. Wheeler. general
counsel of the anti-saloon league,
who said he paid only a personal
call.
Mrs. Baker said she was well
pleased with her talk with the
nominee and had been promised
definite action toward securing a
favorable vote by the Tennessee
Legislature.
Arriving on special train more
than two hours early, the Wayne
