THE OKEUOrJ DAILY 'JOURNAL, PORTLAND. OREGON FRIDAY, JULY 3, KZX ttRDEG GOES AS FAR AS JOHNSON OM LEAGUE ISSUE " , By David Iiwrenco ' IcBvrnghtti. l$o Marion, Ohio. July 23.- Senator Warren G. Harding has surrendered to Senator Hiram Johnson and is in favor of scrapping the treaty of peace which contains the present League of Nations. Harding; pro poses, if elected, to make a separate peace by congressional resolution, and to ask the nations of 'the world to create a different league of na tions 'rom the one proposed by "Wil son. ; i ' Senator Johnson had threatened to bolt th Republican nominee if he did not ac cept the interpretation of the Republican platform which the California senator had enunciated. Unless Hiram Johnson reveals himseli merely as a poor loser, there is nothing In the Harding speech of acceptance as it relates to the league issue to which he can take objection. SENATOR SWITCHES Unquestionably Senator Harding doesn't believe the league which is now in .existence in Kurope, has much of a hold on the American voter, and takes his pface, therefore, alongside Hiram. John son, who has managed, in the Cast at any rate., to rouse a considerable follow ing for his views. But the speech of Harding comes as a surprise to those who had expected that the presence of Elihu-Root In Europe and the record of the Ohio senator in voting for the treaty of Versailles with reservations would commit him to - an endeavor -at least- to fashion something out of the present International structure. But Harding rejects it absolutely and calls for "a new association of nations. ACCEPTS J0H5S05'S YIEW ; Irrespective of how many reserva tions, interpretative or otherwise, may be proposed by Governor Cox, the Democratic platform commits' him to the present League of Nations and the ratification of the treaty of Versailles. To the extent that President Wilson sought a clear cut Issue on the league his wish hss been gratified, for Senator Harding throws overboard the treaty of Versatile and calls for a . sew " peace agreement with the nations of Kurope. Naturally the Democrats will say this means a new 'peace confereney and more international negotiations and con fusion and delay; . . . . But the whole tenor of the Harding speech of . acceptance indicates that . be believes the Johnsonian 'view of the League issue is more popular than any other. He unhesitatingly-subscribes to it- ,.,..- DISAGREES WITH LODE ;. ;:; -V; As for the remainder of the speech, the Ohio senator ha written an eloquent oration . with solemn warning in it. to the ever increasing demand of the labbrer for more wafces, wjiich he says cannot be heeded unless accompanied by' efficient service' in- return. The senator goes into detail skilfully on the subject of farmers' cooperative organisations, thereby appealing to the agricultural vote. s He goes back' to the old Panama canal 'tolls fight of 1913 and reverses the position taken, by Sen ators Lodge and Root at the time, who claimed that for American ships to be immune from the payment of tolls was a discrimination ; against British ships and a violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty bete ween the United States and Great Britain. ; - . , " : SOrjHDS LIKE WILSOX However, the Irish voters' opposed that repeat of the - Panama canal tolls act and the presumtion is that they still' feel indignant about it. - Through the' Harding speech there Is a tone of dignity and conservatism. Not a word of denunciation of President Wil son by name occurs In the speech. There are only Implicit references to one man government and autocratic rule. The Ohio senator gave in his address an im pression of earnestness and conscientious desire to db the best he could if elected to the presidency. His phrase. "No ma Is big enough to run this great repub He" has its curious counterpart in Wood row Wilson's speech of , acceptance In 112. whan, in 'referring to the Roosevelt desire for a third term, the then Demo cratic nominee, said: There is no in dispenslble man." .. . APPEALS TO B05IP HOLBKBJS Aside from a belief In the protective tariff, efficiency in government bureaus, a general proposal about more equitable taxes, a less belligerent statement full of hope and optimism about our rela tions with Mexico, which carries no threat of violence, the speech of accept ance introduces a new suggestion that is bound to make a popular appeal when the stump speakers get hold of it namely. . requiring the government te make its Liberty and Victory bonds worth all that Its cttlsens pair lh pur chasing them. Of course, bonds will ulti mately be redeemed at par, but the Re publican nominee hints at a new fiscal policy that he hopes will rae the price of bond a Thousands upon thousands of visitors crowded this little town to hear Senator Harding speak. The whole thing seemed more like an old fashioned political rally than a national affair. It was a gather ing principally of plain folk in which the visiting politicians from the urban centers seemed a conspicuous minority. Senator Harding is in the old Mclvin ley atmosphere and Thursday's cere mony breathed the spirit of the old days of Republicanism in Ohio. : , BRYAN FORMALLY DECLINES I - PROHIBITION NOMINATION Bozeman, Mont.. July 23. William Jen nings Bryan Thursday refused to accept the presidential nomination tendered him by the Prohibition party in convention at Lincoln. Neb, Wednesday evening. Bryan gave as his reasons "other re forms which make It impossible for -him to focus his attention upon the prohibi tion question alone," and his unwilling ness to sever his "connection with the Democratic party, which has so signally honored me in years past." The telegram follows: "Please deliver the following message to- the chairwoman of the Prohibition national convention now in session at Lincoln: - ' 'Having been away from the rail roads and telegraph facilities for . the past 14 hours. I bare not received your telegram notifying me of the nomina tion tendered me by - the Prohibition party "convention. - - 'But. reading a copy of It In the Boseman Chronicle. I hasten to reply. X profoundly appreciate the honor done me in tendering this nomination, and I duly share in the convention's interest in prohibition as the permanent policy of our country and 4n the strict enforce ment of the Volstead - act without any weakening of its provisions. " 1 also share the ,convent!onB dis appointment in the failure of the Demo cratic and Republican parties to pledge their candidates to such a policy. " 'But I cannot. In justice to the pro hibition party nor to myself, accept the nomination. " 'My connection with other reforms would make it impossible for me to focus my attention upon the prohibition ques tion alone, and. besides, I am not willing to sever my -connection -with the Demo cratic party, which has so signally honr dred roe in years past. - have not decided yet how I shall vote this fall, but whatever I may feel it my duty to do In this campaign. I expect to continue as a memoer oi me -democratic party and to serve my country through it.'" : . - -(Qignea - " -WILLIAM J. BRYAN."

FAILCHE CONFESSED "The speech of acceptance, hf said to the International .News Service; "dellv ered by Senator Hardlnc. is not only a confession ox failure but it is an ac knowledgment of responsibility upon the part of the Republican senate tor the defeat of the peace treaty. The fiction that President Wilson was responsible for this defeat seemed to have been abandoned. The address," , he continued, . 'ac- knowledcred our moral obligations to our allies and the futility of the world Strug gle from which we have emerged unless international peace is made secure, and yet. the Republican candidate rejects the only .. existing . plan for securing . world peace and offers nothing tangible la its place, i r-?,a - :f. - : "So far as IS possible from the vague phraseology of the address to deduce any positive conclusion, it would seem that. Senator Harding favors a separate peace with Germany, the abandonment of our allies, the scrapping of the peace treaty and the formation, at some .-re mote time, of a different aort. of world association on terms which the candidate does not care to set forth.: He seems to have reverted to the policy which Sen ator Lodge in one of his better moments declared . would 'brand us with ever lasting dishonor.' 1ARTY aGAtSST LEAGCE "Republicans who have cherished the vara hope," he concluded, "that, the Re publican party would Ultimately take a position favorable to the League of Na tions must now abandon that hope.
