HARDING PLEDGES SPEEDY RETURN Opens Fire on the League of Nations. ECONOMY A CURE FOR PRICE EVILS Urges Truce Between Capital and Labor, To Benefit All. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. _ MARION, Ohio, July 22—Pledging the republican party and himself to the early establishment of peace, to the re- adjustment of the country from a war Senator Warren ¢ Harding, the republican nominee, today formally accepted the nomination for President at the hands of the republican Paris speech of acceptance, delivered in Garfield Park before the assembled leaders of the republican party and thousands of men and women who had made the pilgrimage to Marion to hear and see him, was Senator Harding's in- terpretation of the republican platform. and the pledges which his party has made to the countr: ‘The speech was made in reply to the formal notification of his nomination by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa- chusetts, republican leader of the Sen- ate, chairman of the committee selected by the republican national convention to make the notification. In his address Senator Lodge spoke in glowing terms of the standard bearers selected by the re- s and touched upon the prob- ich now confront the country must be solved ‘wy an incom- ing administration. Attacks League Again. America first was the keynote of t! keynote speech. ‘Senator Harding again definitely committed himself to opposi- tion to the treaty of Versailles and the league of nations covenant, as presented to the Senate. “It is better,” he said, “to be the free and disinterested agent of international justice, with the covenant of conscience, than be shackled by a written compact which surrenders our freedom of action and gives to a military alliance the right to a peace basis, to proclaim America’s duty to the world.” : ‘The republican nominee declared, however, that he would hopefully ap- proach the nations of Europe and of the earth, proposing that understanding which makes us a willing participant in the consecration of nations to a new re- §jationship, to commit the moral_influ- jences ‘of the world, America included, to and international justice, still * leaving America free, independent and ,self-reliant, but offering friendship to ‘lh the world. Sounds Campaign Slogan. Without direct criticism of the ad- ministration or of President Wilson. Senator Harding urged the return to “party government as distinguished from personal government, individual, dictatorial.” This is the slogan he and Gov. Coolidge, his running. mate, @etermined upon at a conference in ‘Washington. It will be given emphasis throughout the campaign. The speech of acceptance did not slur domestic issues. The need of the country to bring about a sane re- lation between production and costs, 2 fair living wage for those employed in industries, with realization of the problems which confront the em- ployer and capital, was strong]: urged. The nominee proclaimed hii hope that the higher wage would re- main, but with the condition that the wage-earner would give a full return for the wage received. “Tam ready to acclaim,” said Sena- tor Harding, “the highest standard of pay, but I would be blind to the re- sponsibilities that mark this fateful hour if I did not caution the wage- earners of America that mounting wages and decreased production can lead only to industrial ang economic ruin.” Our Troubles Not New. | The chief trouble today, he said. lies im a minimum production when the need is a maximum productiog. Our problems, he said, are similar to those which have confronted this country and others after every great war. Pledging freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of assem- blage, the nominee yet warned that it is the right and duty of government to suppress sedition and contempt for law. In the latter, he said, lies a menace to all free government. The transportation problem and the need for a continuity of railroad activ- ity were emphasized. While making no pronouncement against the strike, ex- cept where it was directed against the government itself, Senator Harding urg- ed that the government “might well stamp railway employment with the sanctity of public service and guarantee to the rail employes that justice which voices the American conception of righteousness on the one hand and as- sures continunity of service on the other.” People Can Lower Living. Reduction in the high cost of living rests, Senator Harding said, primarily with the people themselves. He urged @ return to the more simple living of foriger days and an elimination of the extravagance which has overtaken the American peopie as well as the peoples of other countries since the cessation of hostilities. He pledged the republican party to a deflation of the currency, but in such # way as not to bring about a financial panic. He pledged the party, tuo, to a reduction in the high cost of government and a readjustment of tax- ation to meet a peace condition, with the tax burden more equally distributed. Of particular interest was his declara- tion that the federal departments of the government should be made more busi- with the establishment of a ; and a reduction ernment employes. now’ on the govern- ment pay rolls, he urged, should be re- productive employment, there- ng the cost of government and Thousar ling to the production of the country. The question of prohibition, which has been permost -in the minds of millions in this country, was dealt with by the nominee. He declared that he siood for the enforcement of the law, d that if he were elected the law relating to prohibition, as well as other jaws, would be strictly enforced. He admitted that people may differ about the wisdom of the enactment of a law, but declared he could not conceive there could be a difference about hon- est law enforcement Voters Can Modify Law. “Modification (of the law) or repeal is the right of a free people, when- ever the deliberate and intelligent pub- lic sentiment commands,” he said, “but on and evasion mark the paths ure of government itself.

Then | TO PEACE IN ACCEPTANCE SPEECH | PERTINENT EXTRACTS FROM HARDING'S MARION SPEECH | Driving Ahead At Top Speed. MARION CITIZENS LEAD DELEGATES Blaring Bands Take Visiting Thousands To “Front Porch.” | By the Associated Press. MARION, Ohio, July 22.—The re- Publican campaign attained full speed ahead <oday with the formal notifi- cation here of Warren G. Harding, the party's nominee for the presi- dency. The notification ceremonies, which brought to Marion most of the big leaders of the party and many thou- sands of Harding enthusiasts, includ- ed an acceptance speech by Senator Harding interpreting the Chicago platform and declaring the principles on which he expects the campaign to be fought out. His declarations were ‘expected to strike a keynote giving tone to the arguments of republican workers throughout the nation in the season of political debate ushered in by no- tification day. Delegates Pay Respects. The acceptance spegch came at the end of a long program, in which high-pitched enthusiasm’ ruled the day as the visiting delegations march- ed on the Harding residence in un- broken succession to be received by the candidate and to pay their re- spects in the coin of tumultuous polit- ical emotionalism. At 7 o'clock in tne morning a noisy aggregation of Marion citizens that looked like half the town led off with a demonstration that set a mark for the out-of-town folks to shoot at. To their howling acclaim the senator played the leading part in a flag-raising, pulling tne stars and stripes to the top of the weather-beaten McKinley flagpole sent here a few days ago from Canton. Delegation after delegation, with bands blaring and colors flying, followed up to the Harding front porch as thirty special trains and thousands of automo- biles unloaded their contributions to the notification crowds. Not content with showing themselves to the nomi- nee, they reformed and marched and counter-marched through the city in a riot of noise and color. Party Lines Forgotien. Marion was dressed within an inch of its life for its debut in the great af- fairs of the nation and was bubbling over with eagerness to make the big day a smashing success. Patriotic frills and flounces draped the city from tip:to toe. Business was adjourned and parti. sanship was forgotten as republicans and democrats joined in acknowledg- ing the honor that had come to one of their neighbors. From the senator’s home down to the heart of the business section a lane of tall white pillars formed a less court of honor to mark the route of the paraders, and-along the way scarcely a window was without its portrait of the republican candidate. Flags and bunt- ing were displayed in carnival profu- sion in every street. Painstaking arrangements had been made to provide a luncheon for the crowds and improvised sandwich stands were everywhere. Profiterring had been put under the ban by agreement of the city’s business men and many housewives had laid in an extra supply of food to make sure that no one went hungry. Most of the public..counters were under supervision of the churches. Harding’s Old Band Appears. _ One of the delegations to whose com- ing Senator Harding looked forward with keenest anticipation was a brass band from Caledpnia, his boyhood home. It had been pieced together by his old associates of the days when he played the trombone: and had been practicing ever since the Chicago convention on old favorites'to stir the memory of the nominee, The purple, white and gold of the woman suffrage cause early made its appearance in the gathering crowds, but a plan of the women to picket the noti- fication ceremonies was abandoned. Dur- ing the morning the senator had an ap- pointment to receive a delegation from the national woman's party, who wanted him to aid in securing favorable action by the Tennessee legislature on the suf- frage amendment. He said he would be glad to listen t6 their request, but would have no immediate reply to make. Last night he saw a similar delega- (Continued on Page 9, Column 5.)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 22—Chair- man White of the democratic nation- al committee today announced that Saturday, August 7, had been chosen as the date for notification of Gov. Cox of his nomination as presidential candidate. The following Monday, August 9, was fixed for the notification of Franklin D. Roosevelt, vice presiden- tial nominee. & Ceremonies for Gov. Cox will take place at Trailends, his home near Dayton, with those for mate at the Roosevelt home, Hyde Park, N. Y. Mr. Roosevelt will at- tend. the Dayton ceremonies and Gov. Cox said today that if possible he will go to Hyde Park. Gov. Cox will leave here tomorrow to begin work on his speech of ac- ceptance at Dayton. He plans to con- fine himself to Trailsend and work continuously unti] his address is fin- ished. The governor said today he expected the task would require steady work all next week and he does not plan to return here until about August 1. While at Dayton he will be the city’s hero at a “home- coming” celebration July 30. Will Lock Himself Up. Because of time necessary for press distribution of his address, Gov. Cox said time was short, as he planned to have his address sent out at least a week prior to August 7. “I hope to lock myself up at Trails- end,” said Gov. Cox, “and get it out. I have my subjects fairly well in hand already. There are a number of vitak things and then I shall have to assemble the less important, and T cannot tell yet, whether the result will be a long or short address.” While republicans at their pres dential notification held the political spotlight today, Gov. Cox and his ad~ visers continued work toward com- pleting their organization. Columbus today was almost solidly democratic, with all republicans able to make the trip to Marion at the ceremonies there. A Gov. Cox and his aids hoped to an- nounce soon the special campaign committee of fifteen. They awaited word today from state chairmen to whom names of suggested appointees had been telegraphed for approval. Goes Over Campaign Activities. Women’s activities in the campaign were gone over by the governor with Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the women’s bureau of the national commi tee. She told of plans to put 100 demo- cratic woman speakers in the field and Gov. Cox said the national committee 9. .would co-operate in “an aggressive cam- | paign” for the feminine ballot. Mrs. Bass. was slated for a place on the na- tional campaign committee. In pressing his demand for full pub- licity of campaign expenditures and -centributions, through continuance of the senatorial investigation. Goy. Cox has asked Senator Pomerene of Ohio, a member of the Senate inquiry body, to come here on the senator’s return from the west. When Gov. Cox's attention was called to a statement by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, republican would meet the governor's demands for campaign expenditures publicity, Gov. Cox observed : ‘“{ rather think neither the senator nor I will have much. to do with The people of the United States wilt provide the specifications.” No Comment on Bryan. Comment on William J. Bryan's nomi- nation by the prohibition party was de- clined today by Gov. Cox, and he also refused to discuss approval given by Will H. Hays, republican national chair- man, to Senator Harding's front-porch campaign. The governor indicated he would have no comment on Senator Harding’s speech of acceptance and also that there would be no direct reference to Mr. Harding's address in the gov- ernor’s speech of acceptance. —————_-—____ W.

Harry Maynard, manager of the Tea Cup Inn, located at 732 15th street, and patronized by society women, stock brokers and leading lights in the city’s financial district. was ar- rested today in his establishment charged with sell?ng liquor illegally and having liquor in his possession. Almost simultaneously Oakley Isaacs, a traveling salesman for a Washington wholesale grocer, was ar- rested as he was about to step from the hall of his home, 1229 12th street. Charges of selling liquor and having it in his possession were also made against Isaacs, Deputy Marshals Fields and Den- ham, who made the arrests, rushed their prisoners to the office of United States Commissioner Hitt. Both men pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them and were held in $4,000 bond each for a hearing Au- gust 9 at 2 p.m. “This is a raw deal,” said Isaacs. “I never sold a quart ‘of liquor in my life. But it will all be brought out at the hearing. I am innocent of these charges. They have nabbed the wrong party; that’s all.” Maynard refused to comment on his arrest beyond saying he was not guilty of the charges against him. Henring Is Postponed. Walter Simmons and Charles Em- mert, dealers in Center market, who were. arrested several days ago and charged - with selling liquor, were scheduled for a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Hitt this afternoon. Because the rev- enue agents were busy making raids and investigations the hearing was postponed. Thomas E. Stone, prohibition super- visor of the territory which includes Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, and who makes his headquarters in the custom house in Baltimore, is in personal charge of the liquor crusade that is being made in this city. He is occupying Offices at 1330 F street, where he is in frequent consultation with his as- sistants and members of the local police force. It is stated that the internal reve- nue bureau is collecting tax on all liquor located by them and that which bootleggers and others have handled. Dealers handling tonics and bitters containing more than one-half -of 1 per cent alcohol also are being re- quired tg-pay the tax. ‘A surprising, part’ of the work of the revenue bureau is reporting al- ter of whisky profits. Many illegal dealers in alcoholic liquors, it is stated, will’be cited té answer reports of failure to incorporate their whisky profits in their income tax returns.
