COLUMBUS, Ohio, July with
Uniontown, Pa, as his probable des-
tination for the night, President
Harding left here early today on the
second lap Of his automobile journey
from Marion to Washington. The
presidential party expected to follow
the National road, with stop at New
Concord, Ohio, where an honorary de-
gree of doctor of laws was to be con-
ferred on the President by Muskingum
College.
A twenty hour stop-over in Column
bus offered Mr.. Harding the opportu-
nifty last night. in an extemporaneous
address at an open-air banquet cele-
brating the fiftieth anniversary OF
the Columbus Republican Glee Club,
to make a vigorous appeal for party
solidarity. Too many in the repup-
lican ranks are attempting to attract
attention to themselves instead Of
working for the good of the party ana
their country, he contended, with an
added remark that it is imperative
for some one to assume leadership II
harmony is to prevail.
The President was made life mem
ber of the club, which has sung in his
support in a number of political cam
paigns, at the celebration last night.
Government Needs Harmony.
Prefacing his remarks before the
Columbus Glee Club with the obserVa-
ton that glee club never would sing
in harmony if the tenors insisted on
receiving special attention because
they were tenors and the bases did
likewise, Mr.. Harding declared it
would be impossible to preserve party
harmony if individuals and groups in
the party took the same slant on
things"
Several hundred men and women,
most of them actively identified with
the republican party. heard the Fresi-
dents address. He reminded them
that the party is sponsor for the gov
ernment today, and added that I'VE
the badge were republicans at heart"
You seldom stop to think of the
Inheritance of the present admints-
tration," declared the executive, add
ing that he meant to take no fling
at what went before"
But there was a Saturnalia Of ex-
penditure." he continued, with some
nations spending to bankruptcy and
the United States to madness. Out
Of that great upheaval must come a
readjuStment, but it seems as if no
one wants a readjustment for him
self, although he is eager to have it
for others"
Arms Conference Landed.
The President was loudly applauded
when he referred to the accomplish
ments of the recent armament con-
ference. He declared he could say
with satisfaction that the United
States had played a splendid part in
bringing the world back to order.
This nation" he added, has helped
to establish brotherhood of nations.
and we ought to bring the spirit of
that brotherhood a little more to the
front in the United States"
During his speech the President re-
iterated his declaration> made on
July 4, at Marion, that this nation
cannot tolerate group or class domi-
nation through force. There can be
no domination. he said, but the will
of the people, as expressed in the
laws of this country.
If the law cannot be maintained"
the President continued, then the re-
public itself is nenaced."
Mr.. Harding said 1t was consoling to
realize that the great undercurren.
of American life was in a forward
direction, and that nothing in the
world can stop it."\
