Senator Tasses Restful Sunday
Senator Harding and Mrs. Harding

Church' this morning and rested at
noirie during the remainder of the clay.
To-morrow they hope to tret plenty of
rest also, because there will be little
sleep for them Tuesday night.
Marion was cheated of a trifle of

Senator's nomination because he was

Harding's 'nan.is from being wrung o;T
py too enthusiastic citizens, but the
ieast these will .-be satisfied with is a :
speech from the front porch that has'
served as a stage for the Republican
end of the. j'.'20 campaign.
Both the Senator and Mrs. Harding
are planning to be the first in line at
their polling place on Tuesday morn?
ing.
"They tell me I'll have to g?et up
awfully early," said Mrs. Harding,
"but this is ?me time I'll do it with a
great deal of pleasure."
No doubt the Senator's campaign
would have n suited in a great victory
If Mrs. Harding had remained com?
pletely in the background, but there
can he no doubt, either, that she has
made many votas for him. The next

Candidates Personify Prob?

trast Could He More Vivid
On the ove of the election Will H.
Hays, chairman of the Republican Na?
tional Committee, yesterday summar?
ized the issues of the campaign for the
benefit of "all true Americans."
"Two years ago," raid Chairman
Hays, "speaking in my capacity as
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, I appealed to Republicans
to reject President Wilson's amazing
demand for the bestowal of absolute
authority upon himself as Executive.
The result at the pidls was emphatic,
and decisive. The Wilson demand was
denied by an enormous majority.
"Nevertheless, he contemptuously ig?
nored the verdict whlcii he had sought,
assumed the attitude of an autocrat,
refused to heed the advice of a co?
ordinate branch of tlie government as
required by the Constitution, perpetu?
ated for the United States alone among
all the nations of the earth a state of
technical warfare, prevented the repeal
of arbitrary laws considered essential
to effective conduct of war. but uni?
versally recognized as burdensome and
harmful in time of peace, permitted all
of the executive departments to lapse
into a condition of inefficiency border?
ing upon utter collary' and postponed
inexcusably resumption of the normalcy
which alone can produce prosperity
throughout our country.
"This is a mere, compact statement
of facts.
"It now becomes my duty in like
capacity again to speak upon the eve
of a national election. Few words are
necessary. The issues are fixed and
plain.
"Upon the Democratic side you
have:
"I. Internationalism, involving the
United States, contrary to its tradi?
tions and, for the first timo in its
? history, in a military allinnce with
j four other great powers to superim?
pose their will upon all other peoples
on earth.
"2. Wilsonism, comprising the truly
dreadful effects of unprcparedncss for
both war and peace, an unprecedented
orgy of waste and extravagance, a
wholly unintelligent and ruinous taxa?
tion and an aggregation of executive
heads notoriously matchless for ?n
efliciency.
"I!. Campaign methods.
" 1. James M. Cox.
"Upon the Republican 6ide you
have:
Integrity of Constitution
"I. Americanism, comprehending the
preservation of the independence of
the Republic, the faith of the Fathers,
'the integrity of the Constitution and
an earnest desire to join with all
other free nations in an honorable as?
sociation designed, without, impairment
of self-control or self-respect, to main
i tain universal peace, upon the endur?
ing basis of justice established under
law rather than of authority asserted
; by force.
"2. Comprehension of vital domestic
? problems and determination to solve
them through intelligent, and sympa?
thetic cooperation of all departments
of the government instead of by the
arrogant domination of one.
"3. A campaign worthy of the party's
traditions' and the country's honor.

those in charge of the Democratic
party.
"The truth of the whole ugly busi?

down, placed their hope for victory!
on this vile slander. They thought it

could get votes by reptilian slime that

Cox Denies Slander Was
Circulated From Train
George White, chairman of Cue
Democratic National Committee, said
last night that Governor Cox had de- ]
nied to him over the telephone the
charge that circulars containing de?
famatory statements against, Senator i
Harding's ancestry were distributed \
from Governor Cox's special train. The'
charge was made earlier in the night
by Scott C, Hoik, publicity director of
the Republican National Committee.
Mr. White's statement follows:
"The Democratic candidates and their
national -ommittee have conducted the
Pros dential contest on a high plane
and pitched it on the greatest moral
issue of recent times. Those who are i
seeking to drag 11 down to the level of
a constables.' race by publishing gossip
which has been circulated for years in \
Ohio by Republicans in their primaries j
and convention lights, and in Chicago i
?luring the recent Republican National
Convention, and then seeking by infer?
ence to weich down the Democratic '
party with it, will fail. This election
will be settled on the issue of the
League of Nations. Our candidate is j
for going in, the Republicans for stay- !
in) out.
"it is perfectly obvious to every one '??
that the eleventh hour action 01 par?
tisan newspapers in widely circulating
the storj about Senator Harding paved |
the way suspiciously for the statement ?
issued by the Republican National Com- J
mittee to-night. This statement infer
entially charges the Democratic com-!
mittee with responsibility.
"It is a desperate political trick, and '
it. will fail to divert the attention oi
the country from the issue, as it. is de?
signed to do. We have fought, a clean
light, and we shall not submit to being
charged openly or inferentially with it.
"Only one assertion from Republican
headquarters requires a direct answer,
and that is the statement that the Har?
ding story was disseminated on Gover?
nor Cox's special train. Governor Cox
assured me over the telephone from
Dayton to-night that this infamous ac?
cusation is without a shred of truth."
Who Was Responsible?

Tribune prints the following editorial
this morning under the. title, "The
Familiar Roorback":

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in a
statement issued yesterday, declared
that an investigation which had been]
made into the. industrial life of Marion,!
Ohio, showed that it was a fitting back- ?
ground for a campaign to enthrone re-1
action and industrial despotism in
Washington. j
Senator Harding, M r. Gompers said,'
was a guiding figure in the industrial!
activity of Marion. The investigation
of conditions In Marion was made by
John 1'. Frey, editor of The Interna
tional Mulders' Union Journal, and i
?"Poster M. Wright, assistant editor of \
The American Federationist.
"As a result of tho investiagtion," '
Mr. Gompers said, "it is now possible!
to know how thoroughly deceptive, have
been the claims of Harding for the j
support of the working peopl". Tho in- ?
vestigution has brought to light the ?
full and amazing truth about the Sena-;
tor's record in matters affecting work-i
ing people and. the full truth about the
industrial autocracy of Marion."
Marion a Low-Wage Town
i lontinulng, he said :
"There are no trade union agree-?
monts in the industries of Marion, j
Marion ?s known as a low wage town,
Wages to-day are lower than in towns
in the surrounding district. Any work?
man active in his union is discharged,
and through the system established by
the Manufacturers' Association of Ma?
rion is prevented from securing em?
ployment m any other establishment
unless he drops his union membership.
These conditions have been made pos?
sible through the effective organization
established by the Manufacturers' As?
sociation oT Marion, which includes in
its membership virtually every manu?
facturer in the city as well as other
financial and commercial firms.
"The Manufacturers' Association of
Marion is organized primarily to pre?
vent the organization of wage earners.
Its headquarters maintain a card index
of every man and woman employed by
members of the association. The asso?
ciation determines the maximum wages
to be paid to the employees of any of
its members.
"Through the rules no employee can
secure employment from any other than
his present employer without the con?
sent of that employer. These rules
are adhere.1 to strictly in practice.
Under the operation of these rule- an
'undesirable' employee is eliminated
quickly from Marion's industrie-.
Harding an Industrial Factor
"Senator Warreu G. Harding for
many years has been a leader in Mar?
ion's industries. He is a stockholder
and director in many of Marion's lead?
ing manufacturing corporations. Fie is
a director of the Marion Lumber Com
pany, which is a member of the Manu?
facturers' Association of Marion. He
is a director of the Marion Bell Tele?
phone Company, which is a member of
tin- Manufacturers' Association of Mar?
ion. He is the owner of Tue Marion
Star, and as such is directly a member
of the Manufacturers' Association of
Marion, carrying out the anti-union
policy of the Manufacturers' Associa?
tion of Marion."

kr? v i' ?ige ,,)' finance, say- :
"Americans are quite right in not
wanting to tie tied against their will
to the affairs of Europe. A people
whose traditional policy has been op?
posed t<> all interference in the affairs ;
of the European Continent can have no
desire to ha drawn into conflicts where
their essential interests are not in- I
volved America is to be. congratulated
on this prudence.
"I fully approve of the desire of
Americans for a close examination of
the obligations which their entry into i
the League of Nations would entail.
And I approve, pi" their wanting to j
maintain their constitutional principle
that the United States cannot go to
war without the express approval of
m ' iona ' opinion.
"It. ?loes not follow, however, that;
America is in a position to ignore Eu?
ropean politics entirely. The high
moral sentiments which brought Amer?
ica into the war do not permit her to
look with indifference on the present
course of events or to look with equa?
nimity at un attack on or the destruc?
tion of the work in which she took
such a glorio'Js par-..
"Moreover, the policy of watertight
compartments between the various con?
tinents of half a century ago are no
longer possible to-day. All the nations
of 'he civilized world have been
brought togeti er by tho i mutual inter
penetration. It is no longer simply a
matter o? sentiment a< to whether
countries hail follow what is happen?
ing outside of their own frontiers.
They are compelled to do so by uni?
versal necessity, which is the same for
everybodj.
"A great nation like America can
nol forfeit all control in the evolu?
tion of ?-venta in the world without
diminish eg her moral greatness and
giving up something of,her national
miss >n. May the sympathy which
France feels for tho American people
serve to fortify this idea.
"If passing clouds arise between
America and France, if faults have
been committed, particularly on our
id?-, our mutual friendship will re?
main the sann- in its depths. No one in
France doubts that if a n? \v peril should
threaten the libertj of nations and
the liberty of the world the United
State ' would nou remain indifferent
' any more than she did in ROT. I re?
member with emotion and pride that
this magnificent intervention occurred
? at a time when 1 had the honor of gov?
erning this country."

Hoover'
Hoover?no- Mr. Herbert Hoover, just plain
Hoover?is a name to conjure with.
He is a man of action as we 1 as of thought. He
is efficiency personified. N? ?eed to recount what he
did, not only for Belgium, but for the United State?
during the war. The word Hoover in Europe, includ?
ing Germany, is a promise as good as performed. He
is a man you can pin your faith to with confidence of
results.
This is the man to head an Edge Corporation, and
this is the time for the formation of such a corporation
on the broadest lines, which is not putting the cart
before the horse, because such a corporation will be of
very little use without the proper executive.
With the foreign exch ;es in their present low
state, partly due to the low ebb of European credit,
the cost of American goods for foreign markets is
prohibitive. The result will be stagnation in our
export trade. The Edge Act offers a practical means
of restoring European c-f;dit and thus financing our
exports.
Would the South, its warehouses bulging with
cotton, object to Hoover? Would the farmer of the
West with his record crops? Would the manufacturer
of the East, his raw materials waiting to be turned
into goods? Would any financial expert?
Who would object to Hoover, and who can offer
a better name to bring together the consumers of
Europe and the producers o. America?
