meat Advocated la Most Talks
. on First Day.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 27. Senator Har
ding:, paying a tribute to Theodore
Roosevelt and William McKinley as
authors of a new era of national de
relooment. told a crowd of several
thousand persons In Gray's armory to
night that his ambition was to perpet
uate the spirit of the united and
forehanded nationalism which he said
they had awakened.
The nominee, recalling; that today
TraB the anniversary of Roosevelt's
birth, declared that the Roosevelt pol
icies had brought to the United States
"a new conscience and a stalwart doc
trine that all rights must be founded
upon obligations and a fundamental
sense of fair play." He praised Roose
velt unreservedly for his "bigness of
heart, wisdom and outstanding integ
rity." Another Great Work Seen,
Under the leadership of McKinley,
Mr. Harding added, the nation found
a new unity and a new Industrial life
which Roosevelt fostered by his abil
Ity to awaken in American citizenship
a new sense of nationality and ad
vancement.
"I see before us another great work
to do," the candidate continued. "The
world In anguish calls to America fot
a new contribution. It calls for that
understanding among peoples and na
tions that shall draw all together in
harmony and unity."
The armory speech was one of sev
eral delivered by Senator Harding
during the first day of his final cam
paign swing through Ohio and was a
part of a vigorous programme during
his stay in Cleveland.
Short Talks Made to Crowds.
On his way here from Marion he
had made short talks to crowds that
gathered around his car at Shelby
and Crestline, and after being es
corted through the streets in an old-
fashioned torchlight parade here he
was called upon to make. In all, four
speeches. All except the armory ad
dress, however, were brief and de
voted to advocacy of a "return to con
stitutional govcrnm-iot."
Thousands marched behind Senator
Harding In the torchlight parade and
later acclaimed him with a continu
ous roar of cheering as they passed
in review before him. Through the
downtown section other crowds ap
plauded him as he rode along and
outside the packed armory he had to
fight his way through a great throng
that had been unable to gain admis
sion. Audience Rises and Cheers.
The audience inside the armory
rose and cheered when he entered
and he got another cheer a moment
later when he began his address by
an explanation of why he followed a
prepared manuscript.
"I know it is said of me," he said,
"that I am not a candidate who can
speak without manuscript. But I am
a candidate who speaks advisedly and
prudently. I do not make hasty
promises because I'm going to be
called on to make good."
The shorter speeches made by the
candidate here were to the Inde
pendent Aid society, to those who
joined in the torchlight parade, and
to a crowd at Fairvlew park hospital.
He had dinner at a downtown hotel
as a guest of the Jewish society and
was to spend the night and the
greater part of tomorrow here, before
leaving for his address tomorrow
Bight at Akron.
Ration's Mission Discussed.
In bis addresi at the armory Sen
ator Harding outlined at length his
conception of the ' mission which
awaits the nation, both in its domestic
and foreign affairs.
"Today is the anniversary," he said
"of the birth of that man who, by
bigness of heart, wisdom and out
standing integrity and courage, will
always be known as the great Ameri
can Theodore Roosevelt. It is my
privilege to add my tribute to his
undying memory, and It shall be my
attempt upon this occasion, under the
inspiration of the eternal love which
all Americans must have for him. to
state what his example and his death
less contribution to this America
ours always mean to me.
"The full development of America,
and of American ideals, came Into
new and glorious growth with the
new century as if time itself had
marked a milestone in progress by
the prosperity of America. My coun
trymen, I do not mean when I speak
of the prosperity of America, merely
its material prosperity; I mean th
spiritual glory of America: I mean
the development, the growth and th
flowering of our nation's soul.

MONGOLIA SCENE OF WAR
Urga, Chief Cltj- of Xorthern Dis

FEKIN, Oct. 26. (By the Associ
ated Press.) A hostile force, sup
posed to be troops of General Baron
Ungern Sternberg, is reported to be
advancing upon the city of Urga,
Mongolia, the chief town of the
northern district of the country. The
Chinese wireless plant in Urga has
ceased operations owing to its having
been abandoned. The small force of
j Chinese troops garrisoning Urga is
reported already to have clashed with
the advancing force.
General Baron .Ungern Sternberg
was the chief lieutenant or General
Semenoff, the Cossack leader.
LONDON, Oct. 27. (By the .Assoc!
ated A new difficulty has
arisen delaying the complete settle- j
ment of the coal strike, which this
afternoon was believed to have been
attained on the basis of an increase
in the miners' wages as set forth In
the earlier announcement.
That the difficulty is serious Is in
dicated by the fact that the cabinet
has been summoned to meet early
tomorrow morning before the con
ference of the miners and government
officials reassembles. At the last
moment the miners presented a new
demand, which compelled adjourn
ment of the conference with the rep
resentatives of the government. Noth
ing has yet occurred as to the nature
of the new demand.
The government's emergency bill,
which provides for all contingencies
In the event the miners' strike should
Involve the railway and transport
workers, was rushed through all its
remaining stages today and passed
the third reading, which is final, to
night. The vote was 238 to 58.
American shipping authorities here
said they expected that the embargo
imposed with the Inception of the
coal strike would be removed today
because of improvement in the situation.
The policy of secrecy regarding the
agreement continued to De main
tained, but apparently, the objection
of the miners was due to the fear that
the agreement as drafted might have
the effect of making permanent the
application of the principle that
ages are dependent upon output ana
also to the idea that it might alto
gether preclude further nationaliza
tion.

WASHINGTON, Oct, 27. The bi

Barely Above Whisper.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, Oct. 27. Members of the
delegation of pro-league republicans
calling on the president today who
had not seen Mr. Wilson since his
physical breakdown a year ago were
shocked at his appearance.
When the delegation came out from
the conference tnere was a noticeable
desire to avoid interviewers until the
visitors got together alone to frame
a statement for the public One of -the
members of the delegation however,
speaking of the president said:
"His condition was pathetic"
further information obtained was
that Mr. Wilson showed the strain of
his long illness to a degree unex
pected. "Physically feeble but men
tally alert," was the comment of one
of the delegation. The president re
ceived the delegation sitting and he
read his address from manuscript
without an effort at gestures. His
voice, it was said, was so low that oft
times the visitors were compelled to
lean forward to make sure of all of
his words.
He carried on only meager conver
sation with members of the party, it
was said, remarking to Theodore Mar
burg that the latter's letter declining
an appointment on the shipping board
was a rather unwelcome message.
This information, as to the presi
dent's weak and enfeebled condition
was something of a surprise to those
awaiting outside for news of the con
ference because it came just after
Dr. Carey Grayson, White House phy
siclan, had said that the president was
in the best health since the long spell
of illness began.

SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 27. Parley
P. Christen sen, farmer-labor party
candidate for president, in an address
here today declared the people "are
as much industrial slaves as were the
black men of 50 years ago," and said
his party is "working for a great sol
idarity." "There are but two classes at this
time," said Mr. Christensen, "the ex
ploited and the exploiters. Socialism
is bigger than any party. It is the
great reservoir which Is tapped for
new ideas. Wilson went into It for
his platform and programme."
Mr. Christensen was greeted by a
large crowd and delivered his address
in a local theater.

AUTO SAVED BY RULING
Confiscation Not Permitted Under
Interpretation of Liquor Law.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 27. (Spe
cial.) Federal Judge Neterer today
ruled that where a police officer
makes the seizure, the federal gov
ernment is powerless to confiscate the
automobile. The national prohibition
act, he held, provides that a vehicle
cannot be forfeited to the government
unless the seizure was made "by a
federal prohibition agent.
Policemen and other municipal offi
cers of the Btate of Washington are
not qualified to represent the federal
government in the enforcement of the
Volstead act.
The ruling was made in the case of
Walter Moore, who was overhauled
while speeding by a traffic officer.
Six quarts of liquor were found in
the machine. Moore Pleaded guilty
and was fined $350, but his attorney
saved his machine.

JOHNSON SEES LANDSLIDE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. President
Wilson in his first speech since he
was taken ill more than a year ago,
called on his "fellow-countrymen" to
day to indorse the league of nations
and summoned them to "the concert
of peace and the completion of the
great moral achievement" on their
part which he said the world war rep
resented. Speaking from his wheel chair to
a delegation of pro-league republi
cans and independents who called at
the White House, the president de
clared that the "great moral influ
ence" of the United States would be
absolutely "thrown away" if the na
tion did "not complete the task which
our soldiers and sailors so seriously
undertook to execute."
' Schemes Held Not Ended.
The American people. Mr. Wilson
said, should not be deceived into sup
posing that imperialistic schemes
ended with the defeat of Germany.
He declared there- were other na
tions which were likely to be power
fully moved or were already moved
"by commercial jealousy, by the de
sire to dominate and to have their
own way in politics and in enterprise"
and that it was "necessary to ap
prise them that the world would be
united against them as it was against
Germany if they attempted any
similar thing."
The president read his address from
a manuscript.' His visitors declared
in a formal statement after leaving
tne wnite House that it was evident
he was "voicing the nrofoundest em.
tions of his heart" and that more than
once "his voice choked," especially
when he referred "to the soldier boys
ana tne mothers of those who had
fallen In battle."

Los Angeles Man Is Expected to
Be Chosen for Vacancy Since
McXab Declines Place.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, Oct. 27. A telegram was
sent from the White House today of
fering to Joseph N. Teal of Portland,
Or., an appointment to the shipping
board. It could iot be learned to
night whether Mr. Teal's acceptance
had been received but there were In
timations that the White House had
favorable assurances from some of
the Portland man's friends before tha
appointment was offered.
Assuming that he will accept, this.
disposes of the appointment allotted
to the north Pacific coast under the '
Jones merchant marine act. The other,
appointment for the coast will go to
California.
Gavin McNab of San Grancisco hav
ing declined the place, there is now a
likelihood that the California appoint
ment will go to a Los Angeles man,
Marius de Brabant, traffic manager
of the Salt Lake railroad and for 20
years associated with the shipping
business. He organized the Los An
geles Pacific Navigation company,
which has developed into a successful
concern.
Mr. Teal is a familiar figure in
Washington, having appeared here at
frequent intervals for the last 25
years as counsel in numerous rail
road rate cases 'before the interstate
commerce commission.
PORTLAND MAX IS SILEXT
Mr. Teal Declines to Indicate What
He Will Do.
Appointment of Joseph N. Teal to
the shipping board has Jong been ex
pected by local lumber and snipping
interests. It has been " felt in com
mercial circles that his intimate
knowledge of all problems bearing
upon the shipping situation in th
northwest and his direct contact with
operating officials of railroad and
maritime interests and the interstate)
commerce commission peculiarly fit
ted him for the position on the fed
eral board. .
Mr. Teal declined to make any
statement last night in regard to the
offered appointment or his acceptance
of the important post.
