Harding would get back to this. He said
so in his f.pcpch. He believes in party

"the party, it is I." but in party gov

than Congress.

it.

Takes nittcr-Ender Stand
After Senator Lodge had spoken, tell
ing Mr. Harding of his nomination.
Senator Hardiug replied to him there
could be no ipiestion that the Ilepiib

to reject, utterly the League of Na

come around to the bitter-ender posi

the Lodge reservations.

Th6 candidate, a little loss definitely,
followed In the pat,h of the notlflcr.
Ills speech meant clearly that the Re
publican party takes boldly the extreme
position of rejecting the league out
right, It will favor disarmament nud
an Arbitration tribunal ns means of
making war less likely, but the league,
with its tendency to involve us In Eu
ropean politics, It rejects.
The Republicans intend to press this
issue. Thry Intend to keep it upper
most if they can. They believe thev
can win on this Issue. Tliey believe tho
country wants to get back to American
traditions tho traditions out of which
Marlon grew nnd became what it Is
and which are so large a part of the
nntiticnl consciousness of Mr. Harding.
I The candidate's speech was full of
words beginning with "re" renew, re

tliis barbecue there was no trench in

place. Joints did for sides and quar

perfectly to recall tho past.
HARDING STEPS IN
TO AID SUFFRAGE
Marlon, ).. July 23. (Ry A. P.)
"Karnest hope" that Republican mem
bers of the Tennessee Legislature will
support ratification of the woman suf
frage amendment was expressed today
by Senntor Harding in n telegram to
John C. Houls. a Republican member of
the Senate of that state.
The message was sent in reply to one
from Senator Honk asking for advice
and wns as follows:
"I have your mes-age asking me if I
would advise that the Republicans- of
the Teuuessec Legislature vote for rati
fication of the woman's suffrage umeud
ment. "It is my earnest hopo that the Re
publicans in the Tennessee Legislature,
acting upon solemn conviction, can see
their way clear to give their support
to this amendment. I believe in suf
frage our party has indorsed it in our
national platform; twvnty-nino Re
publican stntcs have ratified the amend
ment; but one more state is needed o
enfranchise every loyal American
woman, nud it would be gratifying to
me personally if the Republican mem
bers of the Tennessee Legislature ac
complished that enfranchisement."
Senator Hurding's stand on the League
of Nations, outlined yesterday in his
sneech formally ncccntine the Renubli-
inu nomination for the presidency, was
. expected today by his maungers here
to furnish the chlet none of contention
during the next stage of the political
campaign.
Democratic demands that the candi
date make a more specific exposition
of details of the proposed "understand
ing" nre fully expected here, and the
senator's friends declare he will be
ready to answer. In that connection
they singled out today one purngrnpli
in the acceptance speech ns indicating
what trend his reply might follow.
"If men cull for more specific de
tails," lie said. "I remind them that
moral commitals are broad and all -inclusive,
and we nre contemplating
peoples in the concord of humanity's
advancement. From our own viewpoint
the program is specifically American,
nnd c mean to be Americans first, to
all the world."

and I fully share In thn cOnrentlon' In.
