Warren G. Harding was officially notified here of his nomination as the Republican candidate for the Presidency His speech of acceptance is, in part, as follows: Chairman Lodge, members of Noti fication Committee, members of Né tional Committee, Ladies and Gen men: The message which you have formally conveyed brings to me a realization of responsibility which is not underestimated. It is a supreme task to interpret the covenant of a g@reat political party, the activities of which are so woven into the history of this republic, and a very sacred and solemn undertaking to utter the faith and aspirations of the many millions who adhere to that party. The party platform has charted the way, yet somehow, we have come to expect tha interpretation which voices the faith of nominees who must assume specific tasks. Believes in Party Government. Let me be understood clearly from the very beginning. I believe in party sponsorship in government. I believe | in party government as distinguished from personal government, individual dictatorial, autocratic or what not No man ts big enough to run thir great republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never in tended. Tranquility, stability, depend | ability—all are assured in party spon sorship, and we mean to renew the | assurances which were rended in the | cataclysmal war. Our first committal is the restora tion of representative popular govern. ment, under the Constitution, through the agency of the Republican party Our vision includes more than a chief executive. we believe in a cabinet of highest capacity, equal to the respon sibilities which our system contem plates, in whose councils the vice pres- ident, second official of the republic, shall be asked to participate. The same vision includes a cordial under- standing and co-ordinated activities with a house of congress, fresh from the people, voicing the convictions which members bring from direct con- | tact with the electorate, and cordial | co-operation along with the restored functions of Senate, fit to be the great- est deliberative body of the world. Republican Senators Conscious of Oath It is not difficult, Chairman Lodge, to make ourselves clear on the ques- | tion of international relationship. We Republicans of the Senate, conscious of our solemn oaths and mindful of our constitutional obligations, when we saw the structure of a world super government taking visionary form, joined in a becoming warning of our devotion to this republic. If the torch of constitutionalism had not been | dimmed, the delayed peace of the world and the tragedy of disappoint- ment and Europe's misunderstanding of America easily might have been avoided. The Republicans of the Sen ate halted the barter of independent American eminence and influence which it was propcesed to exchange for an obscure and unequal place in the merged government of the world. Our party means to hold the heritage of American nationality unimpaired and unsurrendered. The world will not misconstrue. We do not mean to hold alcof. We do not mean to shun a@ single responsibility of this republic to world civilization ‘There is no hate in the American | tion, | under the law, and it is ours to call fear, but ready to serve ourselves, hu manity and God. With a Senate advis- ing as the Constitution contemplates, I would hopefully approach the nations of Europe and of the earth, proposing that understanding which makes us a willing participant in the consecra tion of nations to a new relationship to commit the moral forces of the world, America included, to peace and international justice still leaving America free, independent and self reliant, but offering friendship to all the world Humanity is Restive. It is folly to close our eyes to out- standing facts. Humanity is restive, much of the world is in revolution, the agents of discord and destruction have wrought their tragedy in pathetic Rus. sia, have lighted their torches among other peoples, and hope to see America as a part of the great red conflagra Ours is the temple of liberty the sons of opportunity to its defense.

I want, somehow, to appeal to the ons and daughters of the republic, to q if? production, more production, honest roduction, patriotic production, be- use patriotic production is no less a efense of our best civilization than hat of armed force. Profiteering is a rime of commission, under-production B a crime of omission. We must work ur most and best, else the destructive eaction will come. The menacing tendency of the pres mt day is not chargeable wholly to the nsettled and fevered conditions caus do by the war. The manifest weak ness in popular government lies in the emptation t© appeal to grouped citi enship for political advantage.

A communication received a few days ago from Dr. R. J.

Lemons, accompan- ;ied by Mrs. Lemons and little | child, came out from their home at Boles the fore part of the {week for a visit with Mrs. Le- }/mons parents, Mr. and Mrs Fred Erskine. After a few days at the Erskine home Mr. Lemons returned to the ranch, his better half remaining here for an indefinite visit. Twenty-two Boy Scouts in charge of Sheldon A.

Large as this amount} seems and tremendous in com-} parison to the aggregate of fed-| eral funds expended in three} states, the total is just about two-fifths of one per cent of the total tax collected in the entire United States. The returns of the internal revenue commissioner shows, however, that all reclamation states of the west combined paid internal revenue taxes last year amounting to three hundred and eighteen million dollars. These states are asking the United} States government to advance them less than one-third of that amount over a period of 10 years | to extend irrigation work with} the understanding that the full} amount advanced will be return- ed.

Cord Tires cost more than Fab- rics, and are worth the extra price. Men who figure cost per mile are coming to Cord Tires. But any tire, Cord or Fabric, should be built for the utmost ser- vice which that type can give. Some Men Over-Pay Some men pay extra prices, ex- pecting extra mileage. Some pay under prices for an under-grade, and hope to save in that way. Both are wrong. There may be exceptions — there are always freak tires. But countless tests have proved that Miller Tires at Miller prices, on the average, give the lowest cost per mile. And Miller Tires, both Cord and Fab- Tic, cost about the standard prices. TreadPatented Center tread smooth with suc- tion cup, for firm ed-to-the- road side treads mesh like coge ia which Miller Tires must meet. First, they must average greater mileage, type for type, than any rival tire. We constantly prove this. Eight machines in our factory run two tires each under rear-tire conditions. Each tire is run 650 miles daily by running extra-fast. Won Over 21 Makes The Eldorado Stage Co. of Los Angeles tested 21 other makes against Millers on 12-passenger Packard Buses, weighing 8,600 pounds loaded. In this supreme test Millers won by long odds, on long-distance uniformity. Here we constantly compare the best other tires with Millers. Also in ceaseless road tests. Thus, day by day and week by week, we are guarding the Miller supremacy. Welding Shop Every Tire Signed We insist that Millers must bé uniform. Each tire is signed. A record is kept of the maker, the in- spector and the process. If a tire comes back for adjust- ment we learn the reason. If the workman is at fault he is penalized. If the inspector overlooked a flaw he is held responsible. If any proc- ess or material is at fault, we cor rect it. After years of this checking we've attained uniform tires. There are whole large cities from which not a Miller Tire came back last year: Treads Must Endure Miller Treads, by our standard, must outwear the balance of the tire. We have attained a tread which outwears rivals by 25 per cent. Every day our tread stock is vul- canized, then tested, in our labora- tory. We permit no variation. Not a single Miller Tire with these new-grade treads has ever come back with the tread gone. Not 20,000 Miles Countless reports come to us on Miller Cord Tires showing 20,000 to 28,000 miles of service. And tales of that kind are told everywhere, we learn. But mileage depends on condi« tions — on size, care, load and road. Millers are uniform, but they are not used under uniform conditions. In our factory tests we average 15,000 miles on Cords. But a Miller Tire will outlast— almost always—any tire that you place opposite, no matter what it costs. Compare them under like conditions, and see what mileage modern tires can give.
