CHRISTENSEN
SAYS HARDING
SPEECH 'BUNK'
Declares He Fought By Roose
velt's Side When He Was
Being Branded as Traitor
by "Reactionary Harding'
IS VERY BITTER AND
PERSONAL ON SUBJECT
Says Address Is Enlightening
Exhibition of Art of Shad. .
ow Boxing
SALT LAKE CITY. July 23. The
Epeech of Senator Harding accepting
the Republican nomination for pres
ident is 'bunk.' Parley P. Christen
sen, candidate for the same office
on the ticket of the Farmer-Labor
party, declared In a formal state
ment today. Mr. Christensen ridi
culed the Republican nominee for
accepting jesterday a nomination
which lie declared was tendered to
him In a Chicago hotel room early
In the morning of June 12.' In a
bitter couplet the farmer-labor can
didate professed his inability to see
"anything much" in either Senator
Harding's words or mind.
Mr. Christensen said Washington
and Lincoln were defenseless before
the "charge" made by Senator Lodge
In notifying Senator Harding of his
nomination that "you are Imbued
with the spirit of Washington. Lin
coln and Roosevelt." He continued:
,MBnt there are those ot us still
alive who fought by the side ot
Koosevelt when he was being called
every kind of a criminal and traitor
by the reactionary Harding. I, as
cne of them, can testify to my be
lief that If Theodore. Roosevelt were
alive he 'would scourge the combin
ation of profiteers and politicians
who now so brazonly link his tnem
cry with ' their nefarious etrort to
turn this republic over to a soviet
of Wall Street .bankers.
" "Senator -Harding' address Is an
enlightening exhibition of the high
and manly art of shadow boxing.
The leagu-J of nations Is dead, yet
he lunges at its ghost and shoots
to the onlookers 'it's alive! It's alive!
I tell you it's alive!"
Only "Pontius Palmer," Mr. Chris
tensen said, foresaw a "red confla
gration" with vision equal to thai of
Senator Harding. He went on:
"As, to the vital Issue before the
people. Issues Involving their de
liverance from economic bondage
and political servility, the senator
from Ohio pcurs first a sea of words
signifying nothing. He. who but a
few years ago sullenly said the
working man should be satisfied
with $1 a day and the farmer con
tented with $1 a bushel for wheat,
has become so progressive as a can
didate for the presidency as to ad
mit labor la entitled to a Letter wage
than that, hut adds that 'labor must
give its full measure of service for
high wages if this country is going
to avoid industrial and economic
chaos.'
"That is a contemptible insult to
the sincerity ot the American work
er and a groveling guarantee to big
business that it has nothing to fear
from Harding If he is elected. Sen
ator Harding knows, as does every
other member of th renate for
they have all been presented with
the Impartial profits and wages re
port prepared by W. Jett Lauck.
former secretary of the national war
labor board that the ratio of prof
its, in prices has Increased from 100
to 200 per cent as a result of war
time corporate profiteering and that
the ratio of wages in prices has de
creased by nearly the same percent
age and that the dissipated purchas
ing power of the average man's dol
lar makes his economic condition
worse than it was before the war.
If this country is to suffer in
dustrial and economic ruin .it will
be because the people have been de
ceived once more into surrendering
control over their lives and their
rights to the financial pirates."
Air. Christensen charged that Sen
ator Harding and the Democratic
presidential nominee. Governor Cox.
represented those he designated as
"financial pirates." He declared
Senator Harding's address convinced
him that the Ohioan was dominated
by the will of organized capital''
and that if he were elected "econo
mic chaos and a nation of soup
kitchens" were inevitable.
' "Senator Harding talks much and
says nothing." the farmer-labor
nominee continued: "There is not
a red-blooded American sentence in
his address. Those who have felt
the lash ot the profiteer and the In
dustrial autocrat, felt the sting of
high prices and inadequate Income
Certainly can find no ray of hope in
it. The soldiers are sick of the
Generous expression of gratitude'
that Harding promises them. Far
mers Will look in vaiu ton a definite
pledge of relief from the burdens
import upon them. Organized fi
jiairee alone can find joy In the ad
dress; for organized finance Hard
ins is a good candidate."

POLAND ASKS
MORAL SUPPORT
Desires Expression From
United States to Strength,
en Morale
WASHINTGON. July- 23. Polati'i,
sorely beset by the Russian Uolshev
Ik armies called upon, the United
States today for moral support in
her oesperate battle with the soviet
forces.
Through its legation here the uw
republic not only asks tor an expres
sion from' the state department but
also from President Wilson, declar
ing that such public statements
would go a long way toward
strengthening the 'morale of its tol
diers and people.. '
roiand's request was given serloas
consideration at the state department
and it was expected that a decision
would not long be delayed. What
ever the ultimate decision however,
there were indications of their sym
pathy with Poland. It was recalled
that the American government had
steadfastly refused to recognise the
soviet regime and that less than two
years ago the state department re
quested tee allied and neutral na
tions to join In dclaring the Rolshev-
ikl International outlaws.
It was declared that while the sit
uation of the country had been more
desperate by the enormous weight of
the Russian forces, it was not y?t
too late to avert disaster.
Government, officials were .not in-
clined to minimize the seriousness
of the situation. Army officers and
state department officials agre--d
that a. failure to check the Bolshevik
advance might easily develop a met -
ace to all Kurope. Reports rruin
Germany were carefully constderr-l.
The. fact that Germany is still tech
nically in a state of war with ttus-
sia despite her expressions of a po
sition of neutrality was comments
upon. It was pointed out that i.y
signing the treaty of Versailles. Ger
many automatically abrogated the
Brest-Litovsk treaty and that since
then no pact had been entered l"lo
by Germany and Russia.
In Polish quarters the apprehen
sion was expressed that the alt'os
might call upon. Germany as a last
resort to help , stem the Bolshevik
tide. In such a case, it was aid.
Germany might find opportunity of
demanding session of the upper Si
lesian mines and other modifications
of the peace treaty in return for her
assistance.
ZURICH. 'July 23. The text of
the Polish proposal follows:
"In conformity with a note nt
by the Polish government to the so
viet government today, the twenty
second of July, the Polish govern
ment proposes the immediate cessa
tion of hostilities on the whole of
the front, and the dispatch of mili
tary delegates to arrange an armis
tice. '
"We will await your answer until
3 p. m. July 25 and believe the ost
spot for the meeting will be on the
