ir .!-' A X $ ' ' i ...i $ i t At 6 SUGG EST VACAT ON 1 IP FOR MING Elaborate Homes Placed at His t Disposal for Rest After 1 Election PLEDGES U. S. PROSPERITY Marion, O., Oct. 26. As diction day (drawn near volunteer suggestions for n vacation trip for Senntor Harding are coming to hi headquarters here In In creasing numbers from his friends nnd admirers throughout the country. A number of popular winter resorts hare asked to be his host and several elab orate private homes have been placed at lilt disposal for whatever rest he may decide to take after the end of the cam paign. It was said today that all of these offers were held open for the present, and tint probably no rholce of n va cation spot would be announced until after election. Doth the senator and Mrs. Harding, It was explained, pre ferred to devote their energies now to the campaign, leaving their personal plans to be worked ont later. Hawaii, Bermudn. Panama, Califor nia, the Oulf coast nnd many other ? daces have been mentioned in specu Btlon here rejardlng n vacation trip. The general belief of thoc who know the senator's inclinations, however. Is that he will not go outside continental United States and probably will not travel as far West m the Pacific coast. It is expected that any trip he makes will give him at least two treks of se clusion and rest during November. Starts Trip Tomorrow Today the nominee took an easy stride in his campaign work, seeing few visitors and devoting most of his attention to miscellaneous tasks around his headquarters. It was virtually his last breathing spell before election, for be starts tomorrow on a campaign trip through Ohio that will last the re mainder of the week. Senator Harding Issued another ( statement last night In which progress ' Is promised the American people in return for victory. The Republican nominee in his clean cut declaration avers that the people hare had enough of "democracy under the mere guise of democratic forms" and impresses the need for a return "to those constructive policies which have always characterized the Republican administration." Senator Harding promises to turn the thought of the country's executive nnd legislative functions once more toward the domestic Issues that are bo pressing and abandon the TVilsonian engross ment with the chimera of world recon struction. The people are assured It will be the aim of the Republican party to keep them on the new and higher lever which the times have brought, but there is the additional warning to those who seek to disrupt the present scheme of things through violent means that evolution and development, not revolution or dis integration, will be followed in the carrying out of this program. Text of Harding's Statement Senator Harding's statement follows: "In asking the suffrage of the Amer ican electorate this year, tne iiepumi ?n .SrtThSS in T mind P both the reco d ' Service to? it" beg'innlngs. whereof it livery proud, and the vision of oppor- tunlty for service In the future, which its spokesmen nave presemeti nur- ing this campaign. We are asking that . a great responsibility be imposed upon ' T Id a roimnnalhllltv thnt mnfit hn . measured by both the gravity ot tbo crisis that confronts the world and the Incapacity with which the present ad- ministration has met the problems of i uo. t v.w.... ...rf ...- w the last few years. Onerous as is the responsibility vc seek, our party nas no thought of evading, for it never has been guilty ot that. "Democratic economic and adminis trative policies had brought this coun try to the danger of disaster before the uuiun ui mc i4 .u "'F. "? Yast expansion ot our export trade ana demands upon our producing facilities. which came with the war, saved us from immediate precipitation of thnt disas ter. But that phase has now passed and nothing but a return to those con structive and progressive policies which hnve always characterized the Republi can administration can save us from early realization of the danger that con fronted us at the middle of 1014. "From the beginning of the wnr In Europe the Democratic administration steadfastly refused to prepare for the national defense in case we should be Involved. In 1010 when it was ap parent to most people that our countrj was in imminent danger of being drawn into Ae Rtruggle. the Democratic party made Its campaign on the boast that It lad kept us out of war, and the promise to continue keeping us out. Thus, when we found ourselves at last in the strug gle, we were utterly unready for it. and our participation cost us Immeasurably more than It should have cost. Unprepared for Peace "An administration that, when all the world was in conflagration, refused to realize the importance of prepared nesi. of course could not be expected to realize while we were at war th necessity of preparing for peace ho we entored Into peace quli'u us unready for it as vve hart for war. Uur eco nomics were disorganized our debt enormous, our foreign commerce do noted largely to supplying the neces saries of war. "Instead of setting itself to remedy ing these conditions, the adminldtration lias devoted itseu trora me uay oi me armistice to promoting a project of world reorganization in wiucu America ,'., ( LI.L . t anou a near me wrecni mwuiiuur ties of guaranteeing a " " of things. Instead , of making legal peace as soon as actual peace 1 had been won the American people, alone of all the warring nations, were denied by their government the privllegu of a return to the legal status of peaco and to the en joyment' of those rights which they had temporarily surrendered uuder the cir cumstances of war. "Ho long is war was on iippiiDiicans upheld the hands of the administration, forgetting party considerations, and gave their vote in support of war measures fnr more generously thnn did' their political opponents. et nn au- tocrstlc administration repaid this Io-i alty with the demand in the campaign of 1918 that Republicans be removed from every position nf Inlluence and power. iliai iiernnnu me country rr jected. It was the first time in the his tory of this nntion that an administra tion hnd been defeated In the midst of a foreign war. Thnt defeat would have , been ample ndmonltion to any admin istration not entirely nborbed in its own necullar policies nnd purposes But it apparently wns unheeded by thai ttowers at Washington Neglecting the acute domestic situation, the adminis tration suddenly conceived nn interest In foreign affairs that contrasted lm-1 preislveiy wim its men or concern ior them in the period before w were 4rawn into the war. Pursued International Chimera "Bo, whllft immediate and practical concerns were being neglected, while reconstruction and reorganization nf sr own country were forgotten, the administration was devoting itself to The Republican Congress that had been I elected In the nutumn.of 1018 attempted to and did initiate measures to set ui on the right track once more. It de vised a budget system jn the hope of putting an end to the treasury deficit and bringing economy And system into our national finances. But the Presi dent vetoed that measure. The admin istration went right on spending vast sums lu excess of our revenues, offering nn constructive Inspiration or leader ship, nppnrently forgetting our domes tic difficulties in its engrossment with the chimera of world reconstruction. "This in a word is the record of the administration now about to retire from power, which seeks to have its i rwllcles perpetuated. The countrr will decline to give its connuence ana us mandate to that party or those policies. It remembers that the Republican party fought the Civil War and afterward restored and untiled the nation. It believes thnt the Republican, party Is capable of repeating that service, and because it so believes it is going to return the Republican party Into power. "The nation is determined to be done with democracy under the mere guise of democratic forms. It Is determined that there shall be no return to the old order. The plain people who, on the whole, have been rnlsed to a new and higher level, are not only convinced that they are entitled to remain on this new plane, but that they must rely upon the constructive abilities of the Republican party to keep them there. It is our purpose to accom plish exactly this. While we both op pose every suggcitlon of revolution or disintegration, we do not stand for every measure of evolution nnd de velopment 'that tends to carry the masses of the nation forward nnd up ward. "During the campaign now about ending, the Republican party has pro posed In its platform and developed In the utterances of its lenders a program which contemplates equal opportunity for all. It recognIr.es tho vices of ex. ploltation and profiteering, It has de clared for wise nnd practical measures looking to co-operation In production and In marketing. It realizes that In all measures to preserve equality of op portunity there must be a recognition of the fact that greed and cunning must be held in check if we are to insure that true character and worth shall be given every opportunity to share in tho advantages that the community can ex tend to its members. "The Republican party purposes in the realm of international affairs such an association of nations as will most effectively further the aspiration for world-wide and Dermnnent neace without sacrificing any part of the independence of the American nation. It believes that America can and must bear its full part In tho responsibilities of the world, but it always believes that America alone must decide what that part shall oe. it goes to the people assured that they will recognize Its superiority as an Instrumentality of administration, and that In the election now Impending they will give it the certificate of their con fidence and trust."

VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN By the Associated Press Krnora, W. Vo., Oct'. 2fl. Governor Cox, of Ohio, closed his West Virginia campaign here today with another up peal for the League of Nations and a statement that the churches, labor and women were together in the movement which, he said, was "sweeping the country." In this connection iTie Democratic presidential candidate called attention to statements a year ago of former President Taft which, tho Governor said, prophesied his present view of the situation. "I desire to pay Judge Taft a trib ute," said the governor. "He pos aesses n gift which I did not think Was his. lie has the irlft of nronhecy. Speaking just about n year ago in West Virginia, he snld that labor would in dorse the" League nf Nations because of its labor provisions i that the churches would Indorse It because it is right, nnd men, it me women were given tne vote, they would all be for it because of their abhorrence for war, and in the last veek it is perfectly apparent that Judge Taft correctly visualized the future. "From .pulpit and congregation comes the samo story of religious fervor. No class ha's been reading tho league more industriously than labor. I found mln ers In the mountains of this state thor oughly familiar with it; and the Re publicans are having trouble with their women's meetings all of which bears eloquent tribute to Judge Taft's fore sight. "It is fiweenine the eountrv." Governor Cox declined todny to slm- nis statement at Huntingdon as to Is position regarding ratification of the treaty ot ersallles and attendant res ervations. Tho governor motored here early today from Huntlmrtan. Later today he waa to make his twenty-first anil nnai speecn in Kentucky at Ash land. This afternoon he was to speak at rorismoum, u.f and tonight nt fin clnnatl. Huntington, W. Va.. Oct. 20. Oov ernor Cox said yesterday that If elected President ho would "sit down with the Sennte and make an agree ment" upon the League of Nations and that his agreement should be determined by the senatorial elections. The "executive will," the Dem ocratic presidential candidate said, should not control nnd It is "unthink able." he declared, thnt American mem bership In the league should be post poned two jears. when the next' sena torial elections would be held. Ameri can membership, he Indicated, wns the primary consideration. Thnt he fa vored American participation with "clarlfjlng" reservations was re iterated by the governor. Hailed by members or the governor's party as one of the most Important of campaign developments, tho candidate's announcement was In rcsponso to au open letter sent yesterday to Governor Cox nnd his Republican opponent. Sen ator Harding, bv fifty of their sun- porters urging them to accept whatever revision ot the lodge reservations two-thirds of the next Senate might approve. The governor's statement, issued dur ing a rushing West Virginia tour yes terday, read : "The situation is this: I favor going into the existing league with clarifying reservations. Senator Harding has said that he was not interested in clarifica tion, but in rejection. I have every expectation that after November 2 much of the partikan spirit that has been visited upon discussion of the league will have subsided. "One-third of the scats of the Sen ate are to be filled this year. The people understand the issue and we will ac cept their expression at face value. I will, therefore, sit down with the Sen ate and reach an agreement about our going into this league. There is no other, and any talk of a new associa tion is but idle phrase. The important thing is to get a start and help to stabilize world conditions which vitally nffect the interest and welfare of Amer ica. "For us to remain out of the league for two yearn, or until another election could be held, would be unthinkable. If too much has to be given in compro mise now. in order to insure our en trance into the leaeue, the people them selves will have an opportunity to modify and correct later. It cannot be n matter of the exercise of merely the executive will. The popular will, as voiced at the polls, must control. The uort of agreement which I shall be en abled to obtain will be determined by the senatorial elections."

WANT GAME LAW CHANGED Hunter Would Have Bird Beaton Limited to November Harrisburf, Oct. 20. (Hy A. P.) October weather conditions which have kept the leaves on the trees nnd caused considerable discomfort to hunters bave resulted in a revival of tho sentiment for a change of tho small-game season to tho month of November only. Years ago the bird season, which Includes quail, pheasant and similar game, was In November, but owing to demands from the northern counties where the fall came early a change was made and the season was opened In the last ten days in October. This year, owing to the unusually warm weather prevailing this month, hunters have complained of game being scarce or lying hidden and of heavy foliage, while many have found hunting to be anything but pleasant. The plan Is now to ask the next Legis lature to cnange tne smaii-gamc season so that it shall be in November. The rabbit season now starts in No vember, while December, when the leaves are off the trees, has the dcer- huntlng season.

Reiterating hi belief in a protective tariff policy, Senator Harding declared in n telegram mads public here today that as soon as the Republicans were returned to power they would inaugurate a "prompt re turn to the American system of protec tion for American industry." The telegram, in reply to one from Paul A. Ewert, of Joplln, Mo., related particularly -to the zinc Industry but pointed out that along with the slump' in zinc prices bad come similar reces sions in, many other lines of produc tion. Including; notably agricultural production. The senator's message said t "Tho case of Joplln district zinc is a typical one. Tho Democrats removed the protection from sine, that procedure being one of the fundamentals of their political card. Zinc was merely one of a great number of our American prod ucts that suffered precisely the name fate when Democratic tariff policy was applied, Says War Halted Disaster "Under the Democratic tariff law of 1018. tho country was already approach Ine industrial disaster when the world war began. The foreign demand was bo great and prices were so unlmpor--tnnt that everything we could produce was promptly taken by the warring na tions. So tho disaster was postponed. "Rut with the end of the war the foreign demand, not only for zinc but for a great number of other products whose protection had been removed, im mediately fell off. With demand re duced and with foreign competition des perately seeking our unprotected mar kets, we have suddenly found ourselves at the beginning of an era in which, unless the American policy of protec tion is resumed, we are bound to Dccome more and- more the dumping ground for the products of all the world. "Produced by cheaper labor, they must 'inevitably drive our own products out of our own markets, compel the suspension of production at home and bring idleness and suncring not merely to tho thousands of workers in a par ticular industry, but to the millions of workers In hundreds of industries. Asserts Agriculture Suffers "Along with this disaster to the mln Inif nnil industrial Interests has come a similar disaster to American agriculture. The Tccent slumps in prices of agricul tural products hns brought a great hard ship to American agriculture. Vast crops were raised under conditions which made them extremely costly, una now tnai the farmers bave them in hand they tind that nrlces havo fallen so suddenly and rapidly that enormous losses must bo sustained. . "When the Republican party is re stored to control of the government after March 4 next there will be a prompt return to the American system of pro tection for American industry.

The national ex ecutive committee of the Socialist party Issued a final appeal here today, urging Socialist supporters and sympathizers to vote for Eugene V, Debs and Seymour Stedman, nominees for President and Vice President respectively. The appeal follows : "The national executive committee of the Socialist party, in the closing hours of this memorable campaign, ad dresses to you a mote of warning. The drift from the parties of capitalism has been conceded, even by our opponents, It is admitted that nil signs indicate a tremendous vote for the Socialist party candidates, Eugene V.

The servility of the Re publican and Democratic parties to the financial and capitalistic oligarchy is nn notorious as was the servility of the Whig apd Democratic parties to n handful of slave owners and slave trad ers in the declining days of slavery. Their record of domestic reaction ut home equals their record of brutal con quest overseas, If Democratic rule of the mailed fist In Ilnytl and San Do mingo is a shocking record of brutal overthrow of sister republics and mili tary rule in tne interests ot American bankers, it should not be forgotten that all this has occurred without any pro test from Republican members of Con gress. "Whllo French Imperialism seeks the perpetual enslavement of the masses of central Europe, whether Cox's league or Harding's association is realized, it means an alliance of the imperialistic powers to protect their booty taken in war, nnd to keep their peoples overseas under the military boots of imperialistic administrators. It means on this side of the world the crushing of Mexican independence and the nnnexlng Mexico to tho United States for intense ex ploitation by a handful of American oil and mining investors. Policy of Reaction at Home "It means a monstrous policy ot reaction at home, with its espionage and crushing of free discussion and an In dependent press, and general usurpa tion of power in behalf of a militant im perialism. It means the wastage of our youth as conscripts abroad in protect ing the dollars of investors overseas. "'Against this dnrk future there shines one beacon ot hope, a tremen dous Socialist vote. It remains for tho awakened masses to cast this vote for their own welfare." DEB J. E.
