it* officials. They nro men of hi h cjmxacter and motives. These should not be matters of personalities for the elevation of personalities to the rank of issues is the negation of clear ththkmg. But if we are to maintain and sustain party government, if we are to hold through this our only means of expression to the will of the ma? jority, ?ny party that fails as a party should and must be retired from office. "In a -supreme national crisis such as we have just passed through even party government should be laid aside. The Republican party recogniied this promptly and gave its unqualified .sup? port to the government from our decla? ration of wi\r up to its victorious con? clusion. Hut with victory accomplished. the leaders of the Democratic party, dis? regarding this cooperation, decided to Ignore one-haJf the people of the United States and to make peace alone. Here, I believe, lies the beginning of its fail? ure in statesmanship. By our govern? ment alone, of all of the great govern? ments engaged upon the Allied side, was it insisted that a single party should dominate the issues in making pese?. "Finally, in the bitterness of the qusrrel which has arisen over the peace, the Demoera-tic Administration has so disintegrated -as to be incapable of developed progra.ni for the great measures of reconstruction which must follow from the war. We have simply drifted for the past two year po? litical leadership that part.-. ?ias. at least for the present, ceased .0 func? tion. Only One Principle Involved "I have no doubt our Democratic friends will argue that they are martyrs to adherence to the great principle of the unmodified covenant of the League of Nations. This is seeking martvrdom on faNe premises. There is but one principle involved, 1 and that is the preservation of Pe*c(; by organized international action. All else merclv involves methods -f reach? ing this great object, and some of the methods proposed are te-day regarded by the majority of our people as being ?langero'is methods. Compromise on method is the essence of a statesman? ship that would plant the foundations of principle solidly upon the rock of public support. ' he, dispute has not been one of principle, for the Repub? lican party has supported and doe i sup? port''the principle. The contention has been over methods, rmd on methods men must divide and good statesman? ship will compromise. "The most important thing in the consummation of our relation to this great world aspiration is to have the good will of the majority of our peo? ple, for without such general support any league will fail. It cannot have the good will if in its methods it is to override our national institutions and our sense of proper national ob? ligation. It cannot hold the good will of the world if its method is founded on either threat or obligation to use military force. Its methods must be the processes of peace, not the proces? ses of war. Peace Held I'p at Fearful Cost "To have obstinately held up the peace of the world for eighteen months, with its fearful cost to our? selves and millions of helpless people; to have rejected the opportunity of amicable adjustment of differences as to methods; to have projected the is sue, which, with , intelligent co operation would never have existed, into the Presidential election, is the greatest failure of American states? manship since th? Civil War. "Real regard f< r the welfare of our people and the world would have ac? cepted the treaty with reservations and then if they thought it so vital s matter have gone to the country or the political issue of correcting the reservations alone. The solemt referendum is not on the league; it i: on the failure of the Democrat? party. "inasmuch as forty nations, compris r ;; three-quarters of the people of tin globe, have embraced the League 0 Nations as a term exi ressing certsii ideas, I prefer that term, but ? car little for terminology. The essentia thing is that the Republican party ha pledged itself by platform, by the ac tions of its majority in the Senate, b; the repeated statements of Senato Harding, that they undertake th fundamental mission to put into livin being the principle of an organized as ociation of nations for the preserva tion of peace. The carrying out of tha promise is the test of the entire sir eerily, integrity and statesmanship 0 the Republican party. This is a pos: tive undertaking. It is an undertakin to establish such en association tha will be effectual as far as human han can make it effectual for its purpose Faith in Republican Pledges "The Republican party has indee pledged itself against the unmodifle covenant, and those who support th party are indeed voting against som of tho methods of the covenant i putting this great principle into actioi But this position of the party is as ff as daylight from dark from the att tude of those who wish no league e no ass ?ration for these purposes. "If'there be persons supporting ti Republican party to-day on the beli or hope that this party is the aveni to destruction of this great principl that the party will not with sinceri and statesmanship carry out i pledges to bring it into effect, the they are counting <?p the insinceri and the infidelity of the Republic) party and its nominee for the Pre? dency. "I 00 not believe it would fail or would no? be here at this moment. by any chance it should fail it w have made a deeper wound in t American people than the t?mpora delay in our adherence to u League Nations. It wHl have destroyed t confidence of our people in party go ernment; it will have projected us in try dangerous path of party realig ment. Out of these paths grow ra< calism, reaction and the domination extremists in government. "My personal view with regard 1 he practic ! development of a leag ?a that some articles in the prose treaty mus! be abandoned and sor modified. Bui a great many parts the present treaty are good and a intertwined with the stability of t world. They offer opportunity to s cure cooperation of the great maje it y of nations who have joined it.

They will not forget that the world, including our ; selves, is groaning to-day under taxes ; imposed by these armaments and that ? international association is the only way out. Republican Party Constructive "The issue of this principle of I proper organized action of nations to i prevent war will not down. It be | longs to no party and no creed. It will be the critical issue of forward looking men in all nations tt?til it succeeds ?n finally overthrowing mili? tarism as a busis of world relations. "The responsibilities of government should, in my view, be transferred. The Republican paj-ty has the skill and con? structive ability in its membership to meet them. If it fails to provide peace on terras that establish organized in? ternational association to prevent war; if it fails to attain it by methods which secure the good will of the entire world; if it fails to provide those great measure? of internal progress I und reconstruction that we require in i the next four ye irs, it should and must pay to public opinion the same penalty j for that failur?- which we demand I should be paid by the Democratic party, i I I have no hesitation in saying that the j ! successful conduct of this government ! i and the consummation of the pledges ; entered upon are of far more import j than the preservation of a party in j otTioe, and no real citizen will maintain | the contrary. "There are other great issues that have insistently demanded solution ever since the armistice. They are predominantly of an economic char? acter. They are not solely of war origin; some have cumulated over years. The readjustment of war tax? ation and debt, the his;h cost of living, transportation, agricultural readjust? ment, the development of our industrial employment relations, the wise guid? ance in the provision of our deficient housing, the rearganizatibn of the busi? ness administration of the Federal gov? ernment, and a host of other domestic questions demand constructivo han? dling. Unexampled Profiteering "The Democratic party claims that it could not seetjre legislation from an antagonistic Congress. I wish to point out that even if this were true it was the business of the party in power to i have assembled the best brains in the United States to each of these prob lems and to have laid before Congress j and the American people some sort of j well-rounded program that could- have had public discussion. This was not done. "We have, since the armistice, gone ? through a period of unexampled specu- j lation and profiteering and, with all | the legislative powers which tho gov- | ernment asked for, we have seen noth? ing but the spectacular attempt of po? licemen to arrest economic forces. "There is no better example of the total futility of the methods employed than in the handling of the sugar prob? lem. Here is a commodity in which the Administration could have continued a well-established organization, the Sugar Equalisation Board; could have purchased through it the Cuban crop, could have supplied the American people with full and ample sup? plies at a retail price of not more than 12 cents a pound. As a result of their failure in this single item our people have paid as high as, HO cents a pound for sugar, representing 18 cents a pound contribution to the spec? ulators of the world. "Eighteen cents is a small sum, but when it is applied to our monthly con? sumption of sugar it is more than $100,000,000 a month charge upon the American consumer. The ptrice of sugar has recently fallen, the inevitable, collapse of a fearful speculation; but! what about the train of preventable : charges upon the community it has left i behind? "Destructive criticism is a n?le I in? tensely dislike. To me its uso to-day | has warranty in proof only of two | tilings -first, the necessity of the , retirement of the Democratic party >n j this administration; and, second, of! equal importance, the responsibilities i of the I'.epublican party in the next j four years." Wadsworth Scores Wilson j Regime for Extravagance j Senator Says Democrats Planned to Continue Reckless E x pend it u reft Special Dispatch to The Tribun?. OSWEGO, N. Y., Oct. 9.--Senator James W. Wadsworth jr. it" a speech ? here to-day attacked the Administra tion for extravagance in conducting j the war. He declared the Democrats I had sought to continue the reckless ex- ; penditures this year. The Senator said he voted against ! the Eighteenth Amendment because ' he was reluctant to force any citizen I tj do anything by a constitutional amendment. Ho justified his vote to override the veto of the Volstead act on the ground that this amendment, having become a part of the Consti? tution, was sacred to him. This con? st, tutional section would have become u joke 1 ad it not been supported by an enforcement act, he said. Harding Says U.S. Trade Has Been Neglected (Continu?) from sa|? ???) tor, Thomas P. Gore, a Democratic league irreconcilable, lost the Sena? torial nomination to Representative Scott Ferris, it is certain this ma? jority is going to be scaled down to a much nnrrower margin. Incidentally, Senator Gore's defeat is not attributed here to his stand on the League of Nations. Hope of Victory Qualified Republican leaders, including Na? tional Committeeman Jake L. llam?n, of Oklahoma City, who spent the day on Senator Harding's train, assured the candidate they had strong hopes of victory for the Republican ticket in November, but they told him other things that kept the Senator from be? coming too sanguine about the pros? pects in this Southwestern state. Representative Ferris is opposed in the Senatorial election by Representa? tive .1. W. H?rreld, the first Republican ever sent to Congress from the 5th Ok? lahoma District. He was elected on a platform opposing the League of Na? tions. However, it was less than a year ago that Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, was used as a target for rotten eggs at Ardmore, Okla., when he attempted to speak there against the Paris covenant. Democrats claim the state this year by 10,000 to 15,000 majority, which would be the smallest in its history. Republican leaders make a similar claim for their party. Both sides are watching the Socialist vote, which to taled 40,000 in 1910 and now has prob? ably been doubled by woman suffrage. The situation is complicated by the political aspirations and loose purse strings of oil millionaires. Congres? sional fights involve the interests of the established oil corporations and land speculators seeking control of the fabulously rich oil field* held in trust, by the government for Indian owners who still wear their hair long. Harreld is considered likely to hold the Socialists in line, for the Repub? lican ticket because he voted against the expulsion of Victor Berger, of Milwaukee, from the House of Repre? sentatives. But whether these people will vote for Senator Harding is some? thing else again. The German vote totals "0,000. Lo? cal politicians say Harding will get all of it. At least the candidate will have some interest'tig political calcu? lations to work out between now and Tuesday, when he starts into the Solid South, by way of Kentucky. Nominee? Heads Motor Parade Senator Harding awakened in Wich? ita, Kan. this morning after a night's ride frotu Kansas City. Governor Henry Allen, Sena'or Arthur Capper and other distinguished Kansans greet? ed him. and after breakfast the nomi? nee and Mrs. Harding rode in triumph through the wide streets of Wichita at the head of a parade of n .?Lor car--. Cheering crowds lined the streets frort the station to th?

"Eat 'em up, Harding!" shouted one! red-faced wheat grower, seated just in i front of the platform, and when the j laughter, threatened to die away it was j renewed by another automobile-owning plainsman, who gave a realistic imita- ? tion of the yap, yap, yapping of a I coyote. Other Kansas towns were similarly j enthusiastic, notably Arkansas City, at i the Oklahoma line, where the special I train stopped while the party had ! luncheon. At Ponca, Okla., Senator j Harding discovered that he was actual- j ly in the Southwest. A platform, draped ! with flags, had been erected for him | to speak from beside the railroad sta- ! tion. In the throng of 5,000 there were j Indians, Mexicans, negroes and white ; folks. The Indians were Osages, Otas and Pon?as from a nearby reservation | and the squaws cither pushed their off? spring in high-priced baby carriages or ; carried them on their backs. The bucks i wore high-crowned, broad-brimmed hats and their long hair in btalds. One j Hundred and One Ranch is only a few miles from Ponca, and Senator Hard ; ing's audience contained a number of ? cowboys, with Finnish spurs and ft? i greed, high-heele?! boots. It must be j admitted that, with one exception, the Indians received the white chief's speech stolidly. Little Hole Whoops Approval The exception was Chief Theodore Rooseve'lt Little Hole, who presented the Senator with the key to the city. He had a prominent place on the plat? form and wore a smile that extended to the braids of hair that hung beside each ear. Occasionally he whooped his approval, quite regardless of anything the candidate was saying. At Guthrie and other Oklahoma towns there were similar gatherings a:r the train sped across open country planted to Kaffir corn and cotton.

The large bouquet Mrs. Harding, wife of the Republican nominee, wore last night at Convention Hall, where Senator Harding spoke, was presented to her by Mrs. Jamc3 A. Reed. It waa re? ported last night that Senator Reed made a call on Senator Har? ding and Mrs. Harding before the meeting. Senator Reed said to-day that he did not.

Hamilton, president of the Wichita Hoard of Trade, had a difficult task in carrying out his part of the program at the forum where Senator Harding spoke in Wichita. He opened the proceedings with a talk on the wheat show and the crowd bogan to yell "Harding." Presently Mr. Hamilton admitted that he wasn't introducing Harding, but Governor Allen. They gave the Governor a rousinp reception, but went completely wild whet he led Mrs. Harding forward and then pre spntcd the candidate, inevitably as "the next President." Senator Harding said : "I would like to preserve the thing? which we builded so efficiently in the ; past, and, while looking to the morrow go on always thinking of the United States cf America first.

What do you think, my count?'; men, of America, of honest, honorabl righteous America, going ^nto a cor pact with otli?r nations of the world r the theory that we can sneak out of ?ji promises ?" Here there were cries of "No" ar "Never." "If I were President of the Unit?

That in why I am proposing that we do not go into any such combination as that. I wunt an honorable America. I wnnt an America that keeps its pledges every? where, to the people at homo and the people across the sea as well.

Why, my countrymen, if I stood here this morning, no matter what thought is in my mind and at? tempted to lay down to you a definite, prescribed plan for the future conduct of the world you would think I was mad, as I would be, because no one man is big enough to work out a pro? gram for humanity.

Whc?i Senator Horuh's attention was called to Herbert Parsons's declaration that he would vote for Governor Cox rather than for Senator Harding, Sena? tor Borah tersely said: "I congratulate the Republican party.'' Discussing the league, Senator Borah said: , "The issue is now plainly and uist.inctly drawn. No voter need bo in doubt. Cox is in favor of surrender? ing the foreign policy of the govern? ment as it has existed for nearly a century and a half and imperiling the lu: tire of the American Republic by tying it tko all the diplomatic intrigue? and imperialistic schemes of Europe. This would put a mortgage upon every American taxpayer and military con? scription upon every boy. "Harding is in favor of preserving Unimpaired our independence and our sovei eignty. "In ray opinion the vote will be over? whelmingly in favor of America." Senator Borah expressed confidence that the Republicans would carry Con? necticut and that Senator Brandegee would be re?lected. He is going next week to New Hampshire to take the stump for Senator Moses, who is also an opponent of the league. Debs Warns Against Leaders ATLANTA. Oct. 9.?In his fifth week? ly campaign statement issued through his attorney, Eugene V. Debs, Socialist candidate for President, urged working peopie to "look out for your leaders." Some so-called "leaders," ho said, are often the "chief betrayers" of labor. "I would rather have a man think and vote against me," the candidato said, "than give me his vote like a sheep." After declaring the miners' union had been betrayed by men who headed it, and who, he said, were rewarded for it, Debs asserted that "this is the logical result of the Gompersonian policy of remembering your friends and punish? ing your enemies, by steering the work era into the shambles of capitalistic political parties on Election Day. "The labor leaders of the kind re? ferred to," Debs continued, "are all for Cox and Harding--that is to say, for capitalism and wage slavery." s Mrs. Vanderlip Takes Issue With JDepew on Vote SCARBOROUGH.
