wlih lilm tlio recollection of thc ova
tion that was given to him to-night
In tire auditorium hero when 0,000
persons, only n fifth of tlio throng
centred from tlio threo StntcH of West
Virginia, Ohio ami Pennsylvania,
hailed him tlio niicocior of Theodore
I(onovclt. as the champion of Amcrl
can nationality.
Senator Hunllng recalled that lio
had spoken In tlio wiine hall just be
foro emigres declared war iigiilnst
(leriiiany. Thin remliiisceiico npurred
him to sny:
"And I want ever) body hero to
understand that when CoiiKrens vol
cnuily declared a ttato of war to
exist iiKalnit tlio German Ivinplro we
did not declare war to nmlce tlio world
snfo for democracy, nor did xve go to
war for tho snko of humanity. Wo
went to war because tho rights of the
United States, our national rights,
hm! been violated.
Bxplnlim CoafshortAB.
' At tho outset of his "adflrto'S"- tho
Senator apologized for being Unable
to speak to all of tho thousands that
had crowded Into Wheeling to hear
him. Ho did the best ho could and
addressed, all told, about 16,000 peo
ple In two Indoor and ono out-of-doors
meetings.
After Senator Harding finished his
Rddrcm a question was, put to him
regarding tho coal shortago and tho
is 11 bo of It.
"Tho cau3o Is," ho replied, "that tlio
frovlslons of tho Cummlna-Esch law
regarding tho equitable distribution of
cats haa not been carried out by tho
administration."
In discussing the high cost of living
lie eatd that tho regulation of prices
could not bo a regular Government
notion, and that thrift, economy and
lionest productiveness wero tho only
H. C. of L. cures worth whllo.
"You need not bo surprised," ho
Bald, "If you find Germany, because
of the thrift of Its people, ono of tho
first nations back to a place In pros
perity." Tho auditorium meeting, where Sena
tor Harding Indicted the Wilson Admin
istration for disregard of the will of the
people, was tho cllmnx of a blazing day
upent along: tho Ohio River and among
me gateways or tlio mining country.
In half a dozen small towns dotted
along tho right of way of tlio Haltlmore
nnd Ohio nallrood tho Senator found
great crowds, largely mado up of work
Ingmcn In overalls, who grcotcd him
demonstratively and who heard with
marked approval the things he hnd to
say. Sovcral times tho shout leaped
from these crowds : "Wo don't want any
Leaguo of Nations I" And everywhere
the heaviest applauno was detonated
when the Senator made It plain that ho
would not take the United States Into
the tongue that had been proposed.
As the special train cleaved these"
throngs-Grafton, FnlrmOnt, Manning
ton, Cameron and Itoyal Mount among
tliem-rnllroad engineers and factory
engineers tied down their xvhlstlo
cords, netting up hucIi a prodigious- din
that folks aboard tho train could not
hear wordH spoken three feet away.
In these places, too, the rush to shake
hands with tho nominee and to say
something frlondly often swept tho
local policemen off their foet. Nor was
tlio cordiality of West Virginia's wel
come confine! to Senator Harding.
Scarcely less Interest 'was displayed
In Mrs. Harding, whose personality
showed to excellent advantage. Little
Phrases of npproval were the trial bal
loons that marked how this wind was
blowing: "She'll make a fine looking
first lady," "That woman has sense, I'll
bet," and "Spunky, you can tell."
Those and slmllnr greetings from 0,000
In half a dozen railroad towns merely
led up to tho roaring welcome tlw Sena
tor Hnd Mrs. Harding found here In
Wheeling at 1 IV M. From the plat
form of tho depot to tho Hotel McLure
there was 11 half mile Of people, a solid,
cose packed crowd of at least 40,000 who
ehwred Senator Harding every step of
the way. As he passed from his prl
Mite car to un automobile with Senator
Howard Sutherland, Senator Davis
r.'Mnr, Senator Albert n. Pall of New
Mexico nnd Charles D. Utiles, hundreds
reached out t snutch a handshake, and

Washinoton, Sept. 28, President
Wilson made a sort of half wny en
trance Into tho Presidential campaign
to-day when a letter hddrwised to him
nnd nn answer to It mado by his sec.
Rotary, Joseph P. Tumulty, wero given
out at tho Whlto Home.

Tho troublesomo Irish question nnd j
Just how Artlelo X. of the Wilson'
,,, . , , . . , 1
lenguo covenant would affect Ireland a,
struggles form tho subject matter oft
the correspondence. This Is what Sir.
Swnrtr xvrote to tho Presldont!
"Tub forces supporting the Ilepubllcan
ticket are contending that If wo ratify
Article X. of tho covenant of the League
of Nntlons we would h l,iin, tn .nn.
port KnglandMn holding Irclund under
"iritnot a fact and so understood

Aim nun is u not true tnat wnen
you said Article X. wus the heart ot
me covenant that you meant by that
the European wnrs had nearly all been
rniT.A.i i,u n.iw.i
that this artlclo would cure that evil?
Qneitlon nnd Anixrer Form.
Secretary Tumulty's answer to the
letter was as follows:
"In reply to your letter of tho 20th of
8ertember, I beg to say that the Identi
cal questions contained In your letter,
with reference to ArtlcUuXs and tho
right of self-determination, found tn the
covenant of the Leaguo of Nations, wero
placed before tha President while he was
on his Western trip Inst year and fully
answered by htm. Tho President directs
mo to call your attention to the follow
ing questions and answers slven hv him
to tho press at that time, which 1 think
satisfactorily answer your Inquiries. The
questions and answers are ns follows:
Q. under the covenant docs the na
tion obligate Itself to assist an- member
of tho league In putting down a rebellion
of Its subjects or conquered peoples?
"A. it docs not.
"Q. Under the covenant can this na
tion Independently recognize a Govern
ment whose Peonies seek tn nehlevn or
have achieved their Independence fr6m a
member of tho league?"
"A. The Independent act on of the
Government of tho United States In a
matter of this kind Is In no way limited
or affected by tho covenant of the
Leagus of Nations.
'Q. Why was the case of Ireland not
heard nt the peace conference? And
what Is your opinion on the subject of
self-determination In Ireland?"
'A. Tho case ot Ireland was not
heard at tho peace conference because
tho peace conference had no Jurisdic
tion over any question of that sort
which did not affect territories xvhlch
belonged to the defeated empires. My
position on the subject of self-determination
for Ireland Is expressed In
Article XL of tho covenant, In xvhlch
I may say I was particularly Interest
ed, because It seemed to mo necessary
for the pcaco and freedom of the world
that a forum should be created to which
nil peoples could bring any matter
which was likely to nffect tho peace and
freedom of the xvorld."
Holding Ont Hope to Ireland.
The first "question and answer" Is In
accord with the President's declared po
sition that Ireland's freedom Is a con
cern entirely local to Great Britain.
However, a llttlo further down, Mr.
Tumulty Involves himself very thor
oughly on behalf ot hts chief. The an
swer to the second question can be In
terpreted In- no way except as holding
out somo sort of hope that the United
States might, rccognlzo Ireland as an In
dependent nation. Nothing In the leaguo
prevents that, the letter points out.
Tho letter demonstrated, according to
the general Interpretation here, that tle
United States might recognize Ireland
as an Independent nation without any
thought of the action of other nations.
After thla recognition by tho terms of
the Wilson covenant, should thero be an
organized uprising In Ireland ngnlnst
England which, naturally, had not fol
loxved tho American oxamplcrnnd recog
nized Ireland as an Independent nation
America would be forced by the league
covenant to recognlzo this as nt least a
"threat of war," and thereforo xvould ,
have to take official notice of It. j
England being a member of tho league,
If America had recognized Ireland as an l
Independent nation an uprising In Iro
land, Instead of being a rebellion ,of a
subject people would, In American eyes,
by league covenant, be external aggres
sion directed at England. It It kept Its
xvord, It was pointed out hero to-night,
then tho United States would bo forced
by the Wilson League covenant to use
Its military and naval forces against Ire
land. 'i riii:.cii Avi.iTons kim,bii.

What actually happened wirn this l The
league won In North Dakota, not Im
pressively, but definitely enough to re
nominate Governor Frailer nnd to de
feat Senator Oronna. In Minnesota,
where the regulars confessed despair,
the league failed to nominate a single
State executive or ninnmisuu"," -flclal.
Thev put a complete ticket In the
field for over)' pending vacancy, from
Governor down. They managed to
nominate two of their men-the Rev.
O J. Kx-ale (pronounced Kwally) and
Clcorgc L. Blegel. Mr. ICvale. a Lutheran
clergyman, won the nomination for
Congress In the Seventh Congressional
district over Andrew J. Volstead, author,
of famous amendment's. Subsequently
ttie Supremo Court of the State ruled
that Mr. Kvale was properly disquali
fied, because ho had violated the cor
rupt practices act by referring In his
campaign to Mr. Volstead as an Infidel
And now neither Mr. Kvale nor Mr.
Volstead Is a nominee although both are
candidates. Tho regularo havo pledged
themselves to send Mr. Volstead back
to Washington, and Mr. Kvale, credited
with being dryr than Mr. Volstead. Is
running independently, Just now It looks
ns If Mr. Kx-nle was due to become a
member of Congress.
The only other Non-Partisan Leaguer
to achieve nomination In Minnesota was
Mr. Blegel, a young lawyer In St. Paul,
who has won a considerable reputation
for himself representing .labor unions.
Under tho Minnesota law the primaries
are non-partisan. Thoso two candidates
receiving tho greatest number of x-otes
are proclaimed the npmlnees. Mr. Slegel,
out for the Supreme Court nomination,
ran second in the free for all race for
the place, and It Is moro than probable
that he xvlll bo a Supremo Court Justice
after Novembor 2.

Before proceeding further, however,

League In Minnesota has not lost
ground. To tho contrary It gained
fcllghtly over Its figures of 1918. It Just
