and Dignity.

Nsw Tom Hssaid.
Marion, Ohio. Sept. 4. Senator Har
din opItomlMd his political creed to
diy In Ut( rourse of a talk he made
frnm tbe front porch to the members
of a Milan1 recruiting band from Chl
r.iRO. )t la the creed .of a sincere,
Itralghtforwerd man who abominates
gutter methods In a contest for the
President!?,
In I petktng to tho sailor boys he re
frained from mentioning tho name of
Gov. Cox, but there was email doubt
v m ho had In mind and what cam
paigning methods he referred to. The
Senator made It extremely plain that
gothlng can sway lilm from his concep
tion of how his campaign ihould be con
, Hi led with sincerity, dignity and (rood
nature. He has no use for mud. The
ihort, t-ffecUve address wu taken as a
rebuke for Cox. who continues In tho
West to say everything and be every
thinc that Hurdlng abominates.
"As I see it." Senator Harding said
to the sailor bandsmen, "I must not. as
I seek to gain votes for my party, yield
to tho temptation, which often comes to
Wn Who aro candidates, to make false
appeals iiul appeals which, though they
n.itfti t bo successful at the moment, do
r.ol sen- truth or meet the require
ments of our notional dignity, As I see
It, 1 must not drag tho attention of the
American people Into a mlro when it Is
tiicii wholehearted dealr that their at
tentlon should be fastened upon the
problems which WO all wish to .ace
bravely and wisely together."
Theme of Kntlre Tnlk.
This, expression was the theme of tho
Whole talk, the synopsis of his determi
nation to keep his mind" tind energy
centred upon the grave problems, do
micile and foreign, which must be set
tled or which must be started toward
settlement within the coming four
year? He made it plain that ho neither
ha the inclination nor tho time to enter
Into a mud clinging contest with Cox,
secure in the belief that the people
lon't want it and certainly will re
pudiate the mud sllnsers.
Senator Harding began by saying he
felt his responsibility as a candidate
more deeply every day. The first re
sponsibility of nU, as he sees It, la to
Think first of his obligation to all the
people before he thinks of himself or
the Republican party. He Intends to
Preserve the attltcde and mind of a
man who serves as well as he can.
"As I see it," Fonator Harding con
tinued. "I owe It to the men and women
of America to guard against all pre
tence. "As I see It, I owe It to them to state
fully and clearly my belief with all
the sincerity there Is In me.
"As 1 see it, I must concentrate my
attention upon eonstruction and not
upon show.
"As I see It, I must be patient and
tolerant with those Americans Who may
differ with me.
Deeds Rather Than Word.
"Al I see It, I must asaume un at
titude which Is Arm but ever listening
to the uiee of the people and ever
Watchful to preserve our constitutional
rights lo representative Government,
lather than Government by propaganda
and executive powers. Every citizen
muft realise that America wants deeds
rather than words, and that the proper
soiuti-m of preaslng problems is more
important than appeal for momentary
favor.
".! I boo it. I must remember to ad
dr It myself to the whole of the Ameri
can people and tn keep close to my
heart as well as to my hoad the in
t r- sts of the whole of tho American
people,
"As r see It. If I were to stoop to In
I : erlty, to mere clamor, to political
expediency, to appeals to special classes
1 would be failing in that purpose, which
1 trust, "hall always be mine, not my
own Interest, and not even the interest
o' the party first, but America first."
The Senator said ho believed the
United .States sliulu hdvo a navy thru
would i,.. a n al first line of defence. He
put it t'lis way :
"L every other American I am deep
ly interested in the American navy, and
while l wi h ome Just as cordially and
nif ithctloaliy as docs every other
American man or woman the world's
approach to peace and at least, partial
disarmament, unlil that day comes I
ar,t our Republic to have the most
fflclent and most elependable navy in
111 Uie world."
Ills Personality at Play.
Thi talk, entirely characteristic of the
Repuhll-an candidate, varied his rlgor
' is i:;door duties consisting in the prep
aration of addresses to be made this
Week, It gave him an opportunity to
'splay to the sailor lads the quality or
'IS warm handshake and readiness at
making a Joke and taking one.
This coming week Willi keep the Sena
tor pretty bus'ly engaged. He will apeak
here on Monday at the Labor Day cele
bration. He will ler.vr orrly on Tuesday I
morning to speak at the Minnesota State j
'air on Wednesday afternoon, and after
"turning to Marlon next Thursday will
Pr'et and address visiting delegations
?W the rest of the week.
Further assurances of support from
organized labor came to the Senator to
day from William J. Burke, a Representa
' at Iargo from Pennsylvania and for
many years a leading official of the Order
of Railway Conductors, and Daniel Wln
:rs of Pittsburg, former president of the
N'stional Window Glass Workers and
"ow a member of its gc-neral council.
ftr a talk with the Senator. Represen
tee Flurke, a big vote getter In Penn
i)lvai la, expressed his pleasure over tho
onsulttition.
"If everybody could ret a chance to

In Milwaukee there were six speeches
at the fair, at the Allls-Chalmers fac

I meeting of State chairmen set for Marion
to-day, but culled off, according to press
despatches
See a Rnsh u Cover.
"Before I made my exposure of the Re
publican slush fund the members of the
Republican ways and means committee
and the captains of the money diggers
unblushlngly boasted In Liberty Loan

In exceeding their Quotas," he said. Then
came the denial from Kepubllenn head
quarters thut such quotas existed.
"Now I ask why this meeting was
ealltd off. Was It because of recognition
of the feeling against the purchase of
the Presidency? That they fear to stand
in the light of day that they may be
seen and known?"
Gov. Cox devoted considerable atUn
tlon to a discussion of the League of
Nations as a peace measure, time and
again condemning Senator Harding's
position as "meaningless." He attacked
him also for what he said wan his rec
ord of pasftlng 1, 161 rollealls as a mem
ber of the Senate. ,
"It was possible In the Senntc for you
to escape 1.161 quorum and rollealls. but
you cannot do It either as candidate or
as Pn s dent." he said, in demanding an
answer as to whether the United Staten
would accept any more obligation in

"Yon must answer yes or no."
Altogether, with the exception of the
incident al the Fair Grounds, Gov. Cox
tot a respectful but not tremendous
hearing In Wisconsin, although It Is
doubtful If his visit produced any real
ttsult In this strilght Republican State
tor the Democratic national ticket.
There is in the State a strong feeling
.'gainst the League of Nations, and It
will be a factor In the Statewide primary
elec tions of Tuesday.
The primary campaign, whjch closed
with speeches by candidates for Senator
and all State offices, has been one of
the most hitter Wisconsin ever has
;;nown, particularly from the Republ'can
standpoint, since It Is a battle for control
between Senators Irvine L. Lenrott and
Robert M. I.u Toilette.
Senator Lenroot Is seeking renomlna
tlon, opposed by James Thompson of
Lacrosse, backed by Senator "La Hoi
lette. as the real contender, and also
by A. C. MoHenry of Oahkoeh, running
on a wet platform. The race Is between
Lenroot and Thompson, and the Indi
cation to night nre that Thompson Is
very likely to win unless Mcllenry lit
able to poll a considerable portion of
the Thompson vote or the last mlnulc
Indorsiment of Senator lenroot by Sen
ator Harding, reported In the newspa
pers to-day. reaches the ears of the
voters In outlying districts before the
ballots are cast. The Lenroot strength
has Increased In the last ten days, It
Is said, and his friends are hopeful.
Lenroot defeated Thompson two yars
ago In the. contest to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Pnul
Hustlnrr, and now the opposition to Len
root Is bRSed to a large extent on the
fact that while Inthe Senate he favored
the league of Nations with reserva
tions. No Democratic Contest.
On the Democratic ticket In the
Senatorial race there Is no contest.
Paul S. Relnsch. until recently Mlnlter
to China, and whose home Is In Madison,
is the only candidate. Similarly there
Is but one Democratic candidate for
Governor, Col. Robert B. McCoy of
Sparta.
There are six candidates for the Re
publican nomination for Governor, four
of them on the antl-Ia Follette ticket
aad two of them members of the I.a
Kollette group. The anti-La Follette
candidates are State Senator Roy P.
Wilcox of Eau Claire. Col. Gilbert E.
Seamon of Milwaukee, J. M. Tlttemere of
Omre, president of the Society of Equity
fighting the Non-Partlaan League, and
Merlin Hull, Secretary of State, who
broke with Senator La Follette on Is
sues growing out of the war. The La
Follette candidates are Attorney-General
John J. Blaine, who has the un
qualified indorsement of the Wisconsin
Senator, and Lieut. -Gov. Edward Dith
mar, who entered the race in opposition
to Senator Iji Follette'o wishes
The real fight Is between Senator
Wilcox of the anti-La Follette group
and Attorney-General Blaine, with tho
chances said to be in favor of Blaine.
The Democratic campaign strategy is
being held Up until after the primaries.
As soon as the result Is known the
Democratic organisation will make a
desiwrate attempt to win the support or
whichever group of Republican is de
feated, admittedly an uphill Job, but
worth the effort, they feel, in view of
Wisconsin's thirteen electoral votes.
G. 0. P. TO SWEEP
WEST, SAYS HAYS
Six States That Went for Wil
son Are Now Strongly
Republican.
POLLS INDICATE VICTORY
Plurality of 200,000 Votes
Predicted for Harding in J
Kansas.
Chairman Will H. Hays of the Re
publican National Committee is frankly
optimistic regarding the outlook for the
Hardlng-Coolldge ticket In the coming
election. He so expressed himself at
headquarters here yesterday following
his return from Chicago, whore on
Wednesday and Thursday he received
reports from party executives In twenty
Western States based on polls. S:mllar
tests of sentiment are being made in
every State, but reports are not yet in.
Tho following States in the district
covered by the Chicago conference, sll
of which went for Wilson In 191, will
this year cast their etectoral votes for
the Republican candidates, If one Is to
4jo on what the polls Indicate: Ne
braska. Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Colo
rado and Kansas.
David Mulvane. old line leader in
Kansas, and Gov. Henry Allen unite In
declarhig that the Sunflower State wouldJ
give a Republican plurality of 200,000.
Four years ago Wilson got a substan
tial margin there. This Is only a sam
ple of conditions as reported to Chair
man Hays.
Both of the Dakotas and Minnesota,
which were carried by 'Hughes In 181 J.
will Increase their Republican plurali
ties of that vear. A'thouih Montana is
not In the district. Chairman Hays has
received rows from there which Indi
cates that this State will probably
swing Into the Republican column.
Before leaving Chicago Mr. Hays
talkeii with Raymond Robins, Just re
turned from a tour of Maine, who said
tho Republican plurality in the Slate
election this month will be at least
:o,noo. ..
"The conferences at Chicago, said
Chairman Hays, "were attended by 'he
State chairman, vice-chairman and State
department heads from twenty Stan s
about 200 men and women. From every
where reports are the same, all assuring
overwhelming Republican success. ...:
Bute chairmen all say that this grows
out of the confidence in Republican ca
pacity to meet the difficulties and prob
lems ahead, and also out of a most cer
tain determination on the part of the
voters to end the Democratic adminis
tration. "They all declare that behind every
thing Is the background of eight years
of shocking Democratic maladministra
tion which has so offended all their
-ense of propriety, fairness and effi
ciency that Its end Is Inevitable."
Chairman Hays will be at headquar
ters here all this week and some im
portant conferences are scheduled. He
had nothing further to add to his testl
mony in regard to the campaign fund
harges of Gov. Cox which was giver
hist week In Chicago.
D. ('. Hrower, chairman of the Mont
gomery County (Ohio) Committee, con
ferred with the national chairman. Hi
told him that in this, the home county
of Gov. Cox, a Harding and Coo(jdge
club had been organized In every pre
cinct. Charles E. Hughes will enter the
campaign in an address at a Republi
can conference in Trenton on Septem
ber 18.
ROOSEVELT SPEECH
BARRED BY A RULE
Couldn't Speak in Chicago
Because of Primary.
Special tn Tns St n and Nbw Tosk Hsiald.
Chicago, Sept. 4. Theodore Roosevelt
reached Chicago to-day to start his
Western speaking tour, but he did not
make a speech.
It had been arranged for him to ad
dress the Hamilton Club at noon. But
instead of Mr. Roosevelt making the ad
dress came an announcement from
Senator Harry New, head of tlie Repub
I can Speakers' Rurenu. that "no speak
ers representing the Republican National
Committee are allowed to apeak in any
State in which there is a primary pend
ing." Mr. Roosevelt, fresh from his Maine
campaign, said: "We carried Maine by
5.000 four years ago. We'll carry It by
a whale of a vote this time, probably by
25.000.
"The chief Issue In this campaign Is
the Wilson League of Nations. Like
every good American, I don't want to see
future wans. And there are the seeds
of more future entang'ements in that
document than any In history. Founded
on Injustice and containing Article X.,
the league Is a death trap.
"The Democrats are stating that the
soldiers fought In Europe In order to
establish the League of Nation a. I know,
so'dlers better than those who are say-'
Ina this, and I want tn tell the Demo-1
crate that the soldiers fought not for thl
league, but for one thing and one thing 1
only the United States. The men who I
gave their lives on the battlefield did not
die for a weak Internationalism, but with
the idea that they were saving America
institutions and American liberty.''
