Senator Harding said in his Des Moines speech, in dis-l
cussing the League of Nations :
I do not wish lo clarify those obligations. I want to turn my back!
Oil them. It is not interpretation but rejection that I am seeking.
Mr. Root said in his Carnegie Hall speech :
It Is plain, therefore, that the issue is not between a League ofj
Nations and no League of Nations. The question is whether the agree-
nient shall be accepted absolutely unchanged or shall be modified lo
meet the American objections.
Senator Hiram Johnson said in his Hoboken speech :
There is nothing ambiguous or uncertain in our candidate's declara
tion. He has courageously taken his stand. He has put the League
behind him. He wants neither interpretation nor reservation, but out
right rejection.
Mr. Tal't said in his Bloomington speech :
Expression that Mr. Harding has "scrapped" the League, has "re
pudiated" it, are grossly unfair expressions.
Senator Borah said in his Danbury speech:
But association or League, it's just the same to me. I am opposed
to any association, combination, society or league of Nations.
Senator Harding said in z. statement issued at Marion:
1 approve what Senator Borah has said in his public addresses. He
will cnttnue to make speeches for the Republican ticket, and 1 am sure
I shall approve also what he says to the voters in the future.
Senator Harding said in his speech at Greencastle, Ind. :

Stirring description of the
presidential campaign : Noth
ing to report on the western
front.
Senator Harding said in his reply to President Wilson's
letter :
I am sure that my words could not be construed to say that the
l-'reiieb ( lovernment has sent anybody to me.
There are many more quotations that could be printed
showing the false pretenses under which Harding is seeking
the presidency. He means anything or all things or nothing.
His campaign is utterly devoid of principle and an astounding
revelation of hypocricy, insincerity and deceit. The candi
date's lack of conviction and simple honesty is appalling.
Voters are urged to support Harding because he favors
the League and does not mean what he says and also told to
.vote for Harding because he opposes the League and means
1 what he says. What he says today, he tries to unsay tomor
row, and the next day reverses himself again. He is the only
man who was ever named for the presidency who adopted a
straddle on the supreme issue. To get the voters by false
promises, in order to betray them when they get office, is
Ihe party aim.
When the Republicans adopted their advertising slogan of
"wiggle and wobble" as a caption for Harding's portrait,
they propreticly choose a most appropriate title. As election
day nearg an increasing number of voters echo the slogan of
"Lets be done with Wiggle and Wobble" as examplified in
the person of the republican standard bearer.
The Restless Sex
Campaign Eloquence
The high moral tone and lofty idealism of some of the
campaign orators speaking for Harding is reflected in the
following authentic quotations:

During the next few weeks John
William Cleland's instinct fought a
continuous series of combats with
his reason.
Instinct, with her powerful al
lies, loneliness and love, urged the
solitary man to rash experiment;
reason ridiculed impulse and made
it very clear to Cleland that he was
a fool.
But instinct had this advantage:
she was always awake, whispering
to his mind and heart; and reason
often fell asleep on guard over his
brain.
But when awake, reason laughed
at the conspirators, always in am
bush to slay him; and carried mat
ters with a high hand, rebuking in
stinct and frowning upon her al
lies.
And John Cleland hesitated. He
wrote to his only son every day. He
strove to find occupation for every
minute between the morning awak
ening in his silent chamber and
the melancholy lying down at
night.
But always the battle between
reason and instinct continued.
Reason had always appealed to
Cleland Senior. His parents and
later his wife and son had known
the only sentimental phenomena
which had ever characterised him

ceptions, reason had always ruled

Against such exalted idealism, such inspiring eloquence
and such irreputable logic, plain arguments in behalf of a
League of Nations are futile. Small wonder Harding says
that "France has sent her spokesman to me."
