Senator Harding is .opposed uiieiiiii
vocally to the league of nations, and
It elected, will not lead the United
States Into It, Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia told a large audience last night.
senator Johnson referred to the re
cent statement Issued In New York and
signed by Kilhu Root and othersa.
: "Men and newspapers who pretend
to be friend of Senator Harding, and
who assert that he Is to tak this coun
try Into the league of nations, do him
a distinct disservice and pay him a
sorry compliment," he declared.
8ay Stand Is I'ncompromlfclng
"I do not care," he said, referring
tc the statement given out by 31
prominent pro-league republicans,
headed by JCIIhu Root, "If 81 gentle
men In New York, or sio.ono gentle
men In Nrw York say the reverse of
what I contend. Here are the words
of Warren Harding and upon those
words he Is entitled to the support of
every red-blooded American:
Wants Outright lu-jiftloti
Senator Johnson said In part:
"For reasons of their own, certain
Interested Individuals and newspapers
may misrepresent and misinterpret
Henatnr Harding's words.- I resent
thass Imputations on the sincerity of
tha utterances of thts csndidnta and
ths manifest endeavor in some quar
ters to distort his plain. language..
'There is1, nothing , jimhiguoua or
uncertain in our candidate's declara
tion. He hAs courageously taken his
stand. H has put the Jeagus behind
him. Hs wants snelther Interpreta
tions nor reservations, but outright re
jection. 'The men and newspapers who pre
tend to be friends of Senator Harding
and who assert that he is to take this
country Into the league of nations
do him a distinct disservice and pay
him a sorry compliment. I speak of
course, solely from the public utter
ances of our candidate and these utter
ances make plain beyond cavil, that
when Senator Harding Is president he
will not take the f. 8. into the league.
"He characterises the league as a
military alliance which menaces pence
and threatens all freedom. He called
It the suprems blunder and asserted
that hS' would leavs 'America free, In

"X am unable to understand the In

HOW IIAIIDI.VG VOTKI.
There are reasons for the German friendship for Senator Harding. He
voted in the senate on May 4. 1918. against placing heavy fines upon disloyal
ai d seditious acts and utterances during the war.
He voted on May U.. t?". for a separate peace wlili Germany, the peace
that they are apparently depending upon In Germany to release them from
tr harsh damage payments prescribed In the Versailles treaty, and mention
ed by the German-Americans as the "pernicious pact."
And Senator Harding made some statements In i.ie senate mat were
pleasing to the pro-Germans In America. On June 8. 1917, he doclured:
IdllKKTV CAMPAIGN I NiffWI.V
"I have believed the Unerty Bond campaign hys erical and unwen.ly."
Purtherfore. he applauded German patriotism and declared In effect, that

"I think It III becomes the I'nlted Slates of America to measure a man's

There are many Americans who question If the coming election is to ne

Taking advantage . of a lull In his
speaking campaign. Senator Harding
tort.iv worked on addresses whicli will
be delivered next week In several Ohio
cities. For the time being there will
be little fireworks about the Marlon
front porch. A few visitors are ex
pected each' day. but no large delega
tions. Harding headquarters have ta
ken on an atmosphere of quiet confi
dence and has no feeling of doubt as
to the outcome of the campaign now
drawing to a close.
One reason for'lhls optlrtilst'n view
of the situation Is the apparent har
mony among party leaders which
Harding headquarters believes Jias
now been achieved by the nominee as
o ths league of nations. The latest
development which brought cheers
here was a stalement by Senator John
son that he favors a "world forum."
This Senator Harding Interprets as an
..j....nt of his own position
against the Wilson leaguo In favor of
some kind ot an
ttnns. The view of headquarters here
Is that all republican leaders, now ex
cept possibly Borah, have come around

and the nominee believes he has
achieved the end for which he has
striven slnco the convention unity on

That the ballot Is a prayer and
should be cast this year for peace
through the League of Nations Is
the expressed view of Krza H.
Vinson In a letter to the East
Oregonlan under a L'klah post
mark. Mr. Vinson's letter is so
sincere In tone and so timely In
view of the great question that
Is now uppermost that it is given
this consipcuous position.
Editor, East Oregonlan:
Are you for peace or war?
What is the ballot to us? Very
likely you get many letters these
days but pardon me for giving
you my personal views about the
above question for peace or war.
One candidate Is honorably for
peace, the other is not. As a na
tion we profess to be a Christian
nation, believing In a loving All
wise Creator. A nation's will as
expressed at the ballot box Is the
law of the land. The ballot is
our political prayer to God ask
ing Him to help us to lice in
peace at home and a 1 1 road; to
help us make the conditions we
want. During the late war by
request of our president I lhnk
every church joined In prayer
to God most earnestly for peace.
Will their political prayer tho
second of November be in har
mony with the prayers then
made and ask God to help us
Join with the other nations in a
covenant or league to prevent
war forever between nations?
