If not of Amrrlcu alone certainly of
America first.
"It Is for tho purpose of ndvnnrlnr

' "When tho war began tho American
'" peoplo granted powers to the executive
I the lilts of which were exercised by nu
'other person on earth, Thoso Powers
Vlniva not yet bocn surrendorcd. Under

exists to put n draft Into effect to-
morrow ,ind Impress our cltltcnn to be
. Fi'nt to figjit anywhere In tho world. It
i, N not cnouirh to say this will not bo

. such powers In tlmo of rcace, nie only
nennoy now seeking to brim? this condl
, Hon to n clcso in tho Ilcpubllcna party.
"The Independence of the Congress

tbey may err. Hut no teglslnturo ever

no country ever lost Its liberties until Its

"There nro grave assaults being made
on our system of representative Gov.
eminent by minorities orennlzi.d for ape
j i Ul purposes. Their motlvea nro per-
tonal gratification and privet Interests
rather than tho public welfare There In
Z no objection to thcoe mlnorltlw bocauiio

"Thore ore othor Influences at work
In America as there are throughout tho
world more evil and moro sinister. In
general thoy mnlco tho same claim.
: They proposo to relievo tho people from
all tho burden of maintaining their own
freedom and their own Independence. I
do not deny that this can bo done. Hut
1 fr M u contradiction In terms to suppose
it can bo dono and any Independence
and freedom remain.
"If theso Influences prcrnll ctvlIUa
; tlon ends and barbarism begins With
- them death and destruction walk hand
,n hand. For tho presont population of
America can only be kept nllvo by nn
orderly use of tho powers of modern In
ventions und thu uso of great acoumula-
. tloni of capital. Unless this order Is
maintained famine would destroy our
country In thirty days.
Prosperity la Contnalous.
"Tho moans by which theso nllucnces
, work Is propaganda, always nn appeal
tc discontent, to envy or worse. They
t'eny every principle of civilisation.
They would supplant all good with evil.
, Against this proposal to. contlscate civil
ization all good citizens must Join In re
. hlstancc." x
(Joy. Coolldge said that the Kepubll
, can party always had sought to on-
courage business enterprise.
"Prosperity la contagious," ho con
' Unuod. "Thoro Is no power that can
; prevent nn lncrcaso of capital, Irre
', spectlve'of Its ownership, Increasing the
welfare of 4ho people. It always pro
, vldes moro employment, Increases wages
and raises ovory standard of living."
Ho praised the new railroad law as "a
; jrreat constructive piece of legislation."
"Uut," ho went on, "neither conBtltu-
' tlonal government nor well ordered lib
erty nor sound banking nor the Ameri
can spirit nor good railways can Insuro
our material prosperity unless thero can
be an cud to, botli public and private
extravagance. Tho waste of public
money during the last few years Bur-
; passes tho Imagination, Tho great es
tablishments organized to prosocuto tho
war by tho executive arm of tho Oov-
' crnmcnt havo not yet been reduced In
tho number of names on tho payrolls to
anywhere near tho pre-war standard.
Tills condition must be remedied. Thero
must bo n great change to further dimin
ish tho great extravagance of tho pres
ent Administration. To this tremendous
, task the Republican party has dedi
cated itself.
"Wo havo tested the spirit of America
nnd found It true. We have 4,000,000
of men vho have served undor tho flag
of our country. Wo have called up the
womanhood of tho land to give its coun
sel In the guldanco of affairs of state.
In this morning of a new existence
America alone of nil tho earth Is young,
vigorous, unexhausted, Under such con
ditions, with such powers, led by a pa
triot like Warren a, Harding, America
will protect tho Interests u all her peo

all her duties abroad."

Ha said thero was no foundation fur
such nn assertion and added that If the
United States becomes a membtir, "the

"The paramount need of the world to
day Is pence and Insurance against war,
Tho Democrats party stands for peao
and Insurance against war, Thu Itepub
llcan party opposes It,
"At Augustn a few nlghtn ago Sena
tor I.odgo charged that 'the League of
Nations Is a union to wngo war.' This
Is frequently nuierled by Ilopuhllcan
oral ore, but without any foundation
whatever, Tlio unswer to tt Is tho con
stitution or the League or Nations It
niflf, which oxpreMly hinds thu thirty
seven nations which have already
Joined tho league 'to promote Interna
tional cooperation and to achieve Inter
national pcuco and security by the ac
ceptance of obligations not to resort to
war.'
"In the faro of the obligation which
theso honorable nations have accepted
not to losort to war, how con It bo
charged with any sort of Justification
that theso thlrty-ruven nations havo
formed a 'union to wago war'7 In othor
words, Senator Lodge nnd other Itepub
llcan orators say that where natloiiH
expressly agree not to wago war It Is
an agreement to makn war,
"It would be Jut an mtlonnl to claim
that nn agreement to actually inako
war Is In fact an agreement not to tnnke
war, Tho League of Nations noronnnt
binds tho thirty-seven nntlons not to re
sort to war, but to submit International
disputes to arbitration or Inquiry, and
not In nny ensu to renon to war until
three months after the award by tho ar
bitrator or tho report of tho Council,
"Kven then a ressonablo time Ih al
lowed for tho report of tho nrbltrutoi
and six 'months Is allowed for an In
quiry by tho council, so that If arbitra
tion falls to prevent war, or un Inquiry
by tho council proves futile, then war
cannot result until thren months there
after, It would seem beyond belief that
ufter nine months of dolay, during which
time tho dispute Is considered by all the
parties In Interest nnd through tho
agenclea established by tho Lcnguo of
Notions, tho pitsxlon for war will not
have cooled off and njnenccful settle

"Of tho penalties which are provided
In tlio Iraguo tho economla boycott nlonu

Col, l'arkhurst Is president of the J,
V. rarkhurst Son Company, which
manufacturer trunk nnd leather goods
and whlrh had large Government con
tracts during the war lor artillery har
ness, bridles nnd pistol holsters, The
effort which has boon made by Demo

tal out of theso contracts haa aroused
considerable resentment throughout thu
Slate, and the net result has not boon
hopeful for W. It. l'nttangall, tho asttrte
former Htnto Attorney (tonernl, who Is
managing the Democratic campaign.
After tho urmlstlco the l'arkhurst
company surrendered Its legal rights
iiiidtr the contracts In exactly the same
way that thousands of other concerns
did, In consideration of this surrender
the War Department offered n aetiie
mcnt purporting to compensate the t'ark
hurst company for Its direct loss nnd
to provide for any liabilities the com
pany might have with firms from which
It had In turn ordered goods,
Allen k Hons, who were subcontrac
tors, claimed of the l'arkhurst company
some 12,000 moro than the Government
had allowed on account of this particu
lar liability. Offsetting this wom a larger
claim against the Allen concern pre
untiled hv Col. Parkhurst's company.
The questions Involved nffect the two
companies nlofte, und a ruling to thin

confirmed by Secretary rtuktr. The
matter waa then dismissed, no far ns
the Government was concerned,

Instituted by the Department of Justice
