HARDING TELLS 18,000 IN OHIO HE IS UNBOSSED , ! Hurls Back Cox's Charges; Amid Cheers at Two Columbus Meetings. CLEARS LEAGUE ISSUE! Pledges to Start Work dn New One if Elected: to 1 ?'Oiisult Women. HIDDEN MALICE BEACT8 Windup of Campaign Shows j Trend for 0. 0. P. Pervades State's Chief Cities. I tfdal Despatch to Th* N*w Yobk H*ea>.d. OoLUMBUi, Ohio, Oct. 30.?"I am unpledged ; I am unowned ; 1 am unboBsed." With these straightforward words Senator Harding closed his campaign for th* Presidency to-night here In the capital of Ohio. Last night in Akron Gov. Co*, diverting from his customary line of attack, J aught to say that Senator Harding wai the selection of a small, powerful and selfish group of men. Without mentioning Cox by name, something that Senator Harding has sedulously refrained from doing because of his belief that the sampalgn turns upon Issues and not upon personalities, the Senator took pains to tsU his own State folk that there was ( never a prospective President so un- , trammelled, so unpledged as himself. ' Sight thousand persons in Memorial Hall went to their feet to meet this statement of Independence and ten thousand whom Senator Harding addressed in the open street In an overflow meeting applauded the sentiment. Columbus, the very centre of Ohio, gave Harding a fine and wholesome reception, confirming, so far as superficial appearances can do. i the trend of the whole State in the campaign. An unusual sentiment seemed to be especially observable. There was in the' air a palpable reaction from the hidden ; malice that has been directed at Harding j recently In this State. Unless all signs I are wrong there has been an arousement ef genuine popular resentment against the tactics and methods employed In this State by the Democratic managers, : and the majority Indicated by the Cin- j clnnatl Enquirer of 300,000 does not now Mem unlikely. Woman Chairman of Meeting. Here In Columbus to-night at Me- I mortal Hall a woman, Mrs. J. G. Battelle. was chairman of the meeting. On the stage with Senator Harding In the grand windup rally of the campaign ware Frank B. Willis, candidate for I Senator, and Harry B. Davis, candidate i for Governor. When Mrs. Battelle presented Senator Harding' the audience arose and applnuded for four minutes. It was one of the best meetings that the Presidential nominee has had throughout the campaign. The most striking thing that Senator Harding told his audience at Columbus ; was that he was the most unbound, un- I pledged, untrammelled candidate that [ was ever offered by the Republican I party for President. This was a?new line of discussion ' that the Senator took. Possibly it i prang from the attack which was ' made on him by Gov. Cox at Akron J last night. He did not say so. The Idea , Is obtained merely by Implication. At | all events Senator Harding emphasized more positively than at any other time In the campaign that In nomination, j In front porch avocation, in road speech- , making and in general fields he was i utterly free nnd Independent. To take one declaration only: "I am , unpledged: I am unowned; I am un- | bossed." Quite naturally there was an outburst of applause from his Columbus audience at this. Obviously pleased, the Senator resumed : **T have not made a promise except one whtch is not In the Republican platform. This promise Is that we are going to write Into the written conscience of America a notable programme for social Justice In the United States." The audience, at least 10,000 Intent Columbians, composed doubtless of Democrats as well as Republicans. .teemed to want a declaration on the Deague of Nations. There were hecklers In the galleries, as was plainly clear to observers who sat under the leo of Senator Harding. , Denies Vam>eneaa on Lragae. Heckling has become commonplace and oven tiresome, so that the occasional voice that was raised without authority and certainly without logic passed with small comment, but the Senator took this opportunity to say: "My countrymen, they tell you here In Ohio that I am evasive and vague and some say even shifty about the 1/eague of Nations. Let me ask you this: Can I make myself clear if I sh)' I shall never submit to the United States Senate any form of League of Nation* ' which contains any form of Article X.? "Do you people who sit down here really know what the peace treaty and the League of Nations Is all about? I assume that In your busy lives and In your general duty of making a living and providing for your wives and children, all of which things take up the time of most of us men and women, you have scarcely had time to analyse the technicalities of this remarsble document. So, If you will permit , me, let me say this?that the League of Nations, If Article X. must be Included In It, Is the most direct threat and menace of war that civilization has ever known. "What happened at Versailles? The creditor nations of the world sat down to save the world as they knew It. They laid down certain boundaries; they enforced certain conditions. These boundaries. these conditions ars familiar to you, or should be. It Is no secret that both boundaries and conditions can be enforced only by the military Powers, by the young sons of America, partlc ularly; In other words, to paraphrase the great thought uttered by President Idncoln, the world is made half slave, half free. That, my countrymen. Is Intolerable. "That Is not my idea of world peace or of the mission that America should have toward directing world peace. I do not want world peace based upon a military alliance, upon an Article X.. upon an arrangement which strangles the aspirations of small, free nations, upon any human desire which Is similar to the Impulse that gave us our own American Independence. "I want a world understanding which |a baaed upon mutual toleration, upon the hlg, broad, free lines of human aaeoctatlen. And on thla very topic, my countrymen, I pledge you this: "That If T am elected President I will #rat of all attempt to get at my back J as your leader the combined and not ' the partisan opinion of our whole America. I will call to my assistance | the mos- competent .d M:r mi st patrll V mi' ') >' f' tint' 1 do not 1 f "? Washington Hails V Naval Anniversary ^ WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.?A ^ bronze tablet commemorating the founding of the American navy 140 years ago, was un- (. veiled here to-<lay with representatives of the navy and the Sons of the American Revolution participating. Assistant Secretary Woodjjury of the Navy Department was the principal speaker. [ The tablet lias been placed at the foot of the John Paul Jones statue in Potomac Park. T I I 1 believe that these minds are all in the Republican party, t certainly expect to summon to my al<l tor the best good of the country the finest intelligence that t can And in the Democratic party. More than that I do believe this: e 'That we havo come to a period in our national life, when the women folk c must be consulted. My idea Is this: C that In consulting the women we cannot v go wrong In summoning the mothers tt wtli be my great privilege to summon 1 to consultation concerning our foreign 1 relations ana our great propiems or ao- r xnestle reconstruction the mire and cer- p tain Instinct of the mothers of America. . L)o you think that your resident In , taking that course can go very far . wrong? [Applause.] ' } "I will advert for one moment to a t point that I mentioned earlier in this address. It Is this: I do not believe, j anrl I think I know whereof I speak, ^ that ever a Republican candidate for: " President approached that great ambt- | t tlon which Americans have a right to | ? have less bound, less pledged than I. ! t I owe my nomination to no man or to ; no set of men. No clique or group In- v trlgued or brought about my selection. f "I will let you Into a secret, my coun- b trymeri. So far as I know I was se- t j] lected because of a belief among the j jgenerallty of my party that I had a j faculty for bringing men together. This 1 j thing In all calmness, and In what I have hoped to be dignity, I have essayed to ! t do In this campaign, I shall try with 1 v all my heart and soul to continue that i mission of bringing men together If I am elected President. "If you will permit me to revert for ' r one moment. It seems to me that Will- ; j lam McKlnley*s great achievement was ! to bring together the North and the L, South, to obliterate sectional lines. I f think that the great accomplishment of the American citizen who Is already ] ll ranked as with Washington and Lin- ^ coin?I mean Theodore Roosevelt?was to awaken our United States to a truer 0 understanding of Its undying nation- c ality. " "If in all modesty I may even for one j" moment bring my name into compari- " son with those great ones It would be 9 for the single purpose of telling you, my r friends of Columbus, that I hope as President of the United States to bring T all Americans, all classes. Into a truer I understanding of each other. I have I C some hope of convincing the revolution- | ^ ists and near revolutionists that there 1 in such worth and honesty in American a institutions as to compel for their own ' 1 well being and safety the loyalty and j devotion of all citizens." ' t On his way to Columbus Senator Har- j o ding made an. address at Springfield, 1 i Ohio. r Preceding Senator Harding's address, 1 Dr. Feas. chairman of the Republican j ? Congress Committee, among other 1 things, said: c r Slimy Scandal Depreciated. j. "Senator Harding will be elected President of the United States on next j Tuesday and he will be backed bj- a Republican Senate that will have not I f less than eleven ReDubllcan majority I r and perhaps a majority of seventeen. 1 r fie will be bucked by a House of Representatives which three months ago on our first forecast I placed at fifty * Republican majority, and three weeks T ago. on revising our statement and ' getting our latest reports from all dis- v trlcts. I fixed at seventy-one majority ! and last night. In giving out the forecast to be published to-morrow, giving ( ( the Democrats every one of the doubt- ; ful districts, I have placed the Repub- ^ llcan majority at eighty-seven. And T want to say to you that I should not be surprised If it goes beyond the 100 ^ mark." ^ Scandal that has marked the final j stage of the campaign was touched upon ( to-night in the Memorial Hall meeting. t Mrs. Harriett Taylor Upton was the ^ first to mention It. T "It Is the last campaign where there will be slanderous things said," she said, t Indicating that in the future the women j will have something to say of campaign j (methods. Frank B. Willis, candidate for Sena- tor, said: "The enemy Is circulating stories as foul as ever dropped from I slimy tongue of scandal." "We don't choose tb go into it." he said, "but If we did choose to go In, ! touching the opposing candidates, there is enough material at hand to sink a battle ship." Harry M. Dougherty, pre-conventlon manager for Harding, presented him to the audience to-night. "I congratulate you," he said, "that j you have the privilege of seeing the , greatest rompaign, on one side at least, 1 concluded In our own home city." After presenting Mrs. Harding ss the next mistress of the White House, se j said: "this candidate for President, and i I will say it to you. sir, down to this moment the tongue of scandal and the lips of libel have not harmed your cause. I present the distinguished son of Ohio who will be the next President of the United States a President who will ; prosper the United States and In doing that will heal the broken heart of tho world." ?'

It was intended not so cucli to the people of Chicago or XIIIiois. which weeks ago became r>, lost iope for Democracy, as for the people f tlie West, to whom Chicago is a entre: the Chicago newspapers, with tenographic copies of the address, adlate to States as tor away as Neiraska. and the city Is within eaRy ccess for telegraphic reports to local ewspapers in the Central West.

Cven the animals of the jungle practise lie principles of mutual aid. To talk fllbly about 'America only," as If that varo what patriotism means, Is as fool*h as It Is false. That kind of patrlotsm Is cheap and spurious patriotism, varmed over for partisan purposes, ienolne patriotism, on the contrary. Is levotion to the ideals of one's country. [Tie true patriot wants his country to e first In sendee, not first In selfishness.
