Harding Speech of Acceptance. SALIENT I'M NTS (J1VEN. lt'publlcnn Nominee lUscusscs Problems of Nation, Senator Wurrn G. Harding whi offlcinlly notified on Thursday of his nomination as tho republican candidate for tho presidency. Ills speech of ac ceptance Is, In part, ae follows: Chairman Lodge, Members of Not! flcatlon c'nimiiittee, , Members of Na tional Committee, Ladies and Gentle men: Tin- message wlm-li jou have formally conveyed brings to inu a realization of responsibility which la not underestimated. It Is a supreme task to Interpret the covenant of a great political party, the activities of which are so woven Into the history of this republic, and a very sacred and fcolemn undertaking to utter the facts and aspirations of the many millions who adhere to that party. The party platform has charred the way, yet, Koinehow, we have come to expect that Interpretation which voices the faith of nominees who must assume specltlc tasks. Let me be understood clearly from tho very beginning. I fielleve in party sponsorship In government. 1 believe in party government us distinguished from personal government, individual, dictatorial, autocracy or what not. No man is big enough to run this groat republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never in tended. Trnnituillty, stability, depend ability all are assured In party spon sorship, and we mean to renew the as surances which were rendered in the eatnclysmnl war. Our first committal Is the restriction of representative popular government, under the constitution,- through the agency of tho republican party. Our 'vision includes more than a chief executive, wo believe In a cabinet of highest capacity, cquul to the re sponsibilities which our system con templates, in whose councils the vice president, second olllcial of the repub lic, shall be asked to participate. The same vision Includes a cordial under standing and co-ordinated activities Avith a house of congress, fresh from the people, voicing the convictions which members bring from direct con tact with the electorate, and cordial co operation along with the rest order functions of tho senate, lit to be the .greatest deliberative hotly of the world. It Is not dillicult, Chairman Lodge, 'Ao make ourselves clear on the question of international relationship. We re publicans of the senate, conscious of our solemn oaths and mindful of our constitutional obligations, when we saw the structure of a world super government taking visionary form Join ed in a becoming warning of our de votion to this republic. If the torch of constitutionalism had not been dim med the deluod pence of the world and the tragedy of disappointment and Europe's misunderstanding of America easily might have been avoided. The republicans of the senate halted the barter of Independent American emi nence and Intluoneo, which It was pro posed to exchnngf for an obscure and unequal place In the merged govern ment of the world. Our party means to hold the heritage of American na tionality unimpaired and unsurrend ered. The world will not misconstrue. We do not mean to hold aloof. We do not mean to shun a single responsibility of this republic to world civilization. There Is no hate in the American heart. We have no envy, no suspicion, no aversion for any people In the world. We hold to our rights and mean to defend, nnd we mean to sustain the rights of this nation and our citizens alike everywhere under tho shining sun. Yet there Is the concord of amity iind sympathy and fraternity In every resolution. There Is genuine aspira tion in every American breast for a tranquil friendship with all the world. One may readily sense the con science of our America. I am sure I understand the purpose of the dom inant group of the sonnto. Wo wore not seeking to defeat a world aspira tion, we were resolved to safegunrd America. We were resolved then, even as we are today and will be tomorrow, to preserve this free and independent republic. INCORPORATED 1887.

Secretary. in trie call if tl'e consiionro of Amerlcn is peace, peace that closes the gaping wound of world nr. and silences the Impnwlonwl voice of In turnatloual envy, and dlmrust. Head' lug this call and knowing as I do the disposition of the eon w, 1 promise you formal and effective pence ni vaulckly as n republican congress cat pass Its declaration for a republican executive to sign. Jt Is better to be the free and disin terested agent of International Justice and advancing civilization witli the covenant of conscience than be shack led by a written compact which surren ders freedom of action and gives to a military alliance the right to proclaim America's- duty to the world. No sur render of rights to a world council or Its military alliance, no assumed man datory, however appealing, ever shall summon the sons of this republic to war. Their ipreine sacrlllce shall only be asked for America and Its cull of honor. There Is a sanctity In that' right we will not relegate. Disposed as we are, the way Is very dimple. Let the failure attending us- .sumption, obstinacy. Impracticability and delay be recognized and let us llnd the big, practical, unselllsh way to do our part, neither covetous because of ambition nor hesitant through fear, but ready to serve ourselves, humanity and Cod. With a senate advising as the constitution contemplates, I would hopefully appreciate the nations of Europe and of the earth, prohibiting that understanding which makes us a willing participant In consecration of nations to a new relationship to com mit tho moral forces of the world, America included, to peace and Inter national Justice, still leaving America free, Independent and self-reliant, but offering friendship lo all the world. It Is folly to close our eyes to out standing facts. Humnnlty Is restive. Much of the world Is In revolution, , tho agents of riicnrd and destruction have wrought their tragedy In pathetic Hussla, have lighted there torch among other peoples, nnd hope to see America ns a part of the great red contlagrtt tlon. Ours is the temple of liberty under the law, and It Is ours to call the sons of opportunity to Us defense. America must not only save herself, but ours must be the appealing voice to sober the world. It must be understood that toll alone makes for accomplishment and ad vancement, and righteous possession Is the reward of toll aqd Its Incentive. There is no progress except in the stimulus of competition. The chief trouble today is that the world war wrought the destruction of healthful competition, left our store houses empty, and there Is a minimum production when our need Is maximum. .Maximums, not minlmums, is the call of America. It Isn't a new story, be cause war never falls to leave depleted storehouses and always Impairs the ef ficiency of production. War also estab lishes its higher standards for wages, and they abide. I wish the higher wage to abide, on one explicit condition that the wage earner will give full return for the wages received. I want, somehow, to appeal to the sons and daughters of the republic, to every producer, to Join hand and brain In production. More production, honest production, patriotic production, be cause patriotic production Is no less a defense of our best civilization than that of armed forces. Profiteering Is a crime of raminb a'.nu, wv production Is a crime of omission. We must work our most and best, else the destructive reaction will come. The menacing tendency of the pres ent day Is not chargeable wholly to the unsettled and fevered conditions caused by the war. The manifest weakness In popular government lies In the temptation to appeal to grouped citizenship for political advantage. It would lie the blindness of folly to Ignore the activities in our own coun try, which are aimed to destroy our economic system, and to commit us to tho colossal tragedy wl'Jch has de stroyed all freedom and made Itussla Impotent. This movement Is not to be halted In throated liberties. We must not abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of press, or the freedom of assembly, because there Is no promise In repression. These liberties are as sacred as the freedom of religious be lief, as Inviolable as tho rights of life and the pursuit of happiness. We do hold to the right to crush sedition, to stifle a menacing contempt for law, to stamp out a peril to tho safety of the republic or Its people, when emergency calls, because security nnd the majesty of the law are tho first essentials of liberty. He wlio threatens destruction f tho euvortuimni In' (rwen. r Uuut hi contempt TTir UnVtul authority ceases to he an alert citizen and for felts his rights to the freedom of the republic. No party Is InilllYf-rent to the welfnre of the wage earner. To tis his good fortune Is of deepest concern and we look to make that good fort line perma nent. We do not oppose ;ut approve collective bargaining, been use Hint l I an outstanding right, but we arc un j alterable insistent that Its exorcise J must not destroy the equally sacred right of tho Individual, In his neces sary pursuit of llNcllhood. Any Atnorl ran has the right to quit his employ ment, so has every American the right lo seek employment. The group must not 'endanger the individual, and We must discourage groups preying upon one another and none luill he allowed to forget that the governments obliga tions are alike to all the people. We are so ;onlldcnt that much of the present day Insisfllcleney and Inef ficiency of transportation are due to the withering hand of government op eration that we emphasize anew our opposition to government ownership, we want to expodlte the reparation nnd make sure the mistake Is not re pealed, A sintc of Inndequnto transportation facilities mainly chargeable to the fail ure of governmental experiment, Is lo'lug millions to agriculture. It Is hindering Industry, It Is menacing the American people with a fuel shortage little less than a peril. It emphasizes the present day problem and suggest: that spirit of encouragement and as sistance which commits all America to relieve such an emergency, (iross ex pansion of currency and credit have depreciated the dollar Just as expan sion and inflation have discredited the coins of the world. We Inllated In haste, we must dellate in deliberation. We debased the dollar In reckless finance, we miMt restore In honesty. In all sincerity, we promise the pre vention of unreasonable profits. .We challenge profiteering with all the mor al forcl1 and the legal powers of gov ernment and people. Hut It Is fair, aye, It is timely, to give reminder that law Is not the sole corrective of our economic ills. Let us call to all the people for thrift and economy. For denial and sacrifice if need be. For a nation wide drive against extravagance nnd luxury. To a reconimltt-al to simplic ity of living. To that prudent and normal plan of life which is the health of the republic. New candidates, who are facing n massing growth and an extraordinary Industrial development, call for a now and forward looking program. The American fnrmer had a hundred and twenty millions to feed 111 the home .unrket, and heard the cry of the world for food and nnswered it, though he faced an appalling task amid handi caps never encountered before. Contemplating the defenselessness of the Individual farmer to meet the or ganized buyers of his products and tho distributors of the tilings the farmer buys, I hold that farmers should not only be permitted, but encouraged to Join in co-operative association to reap the Just measure of reward merited by their arduous toll. Our platform Is an earnest pledge of renewed concern for this most es sential and elemental Industry and In both appreciation and interest we pledge effective expression In law and practice. We will hull that co-oper ation which again v ill make profitable and desirable the ownership and oper ation of comparatively small furais, Intensively cultivated, and which will facilitate the caring for the products of farm and orchard without the la mentable wVste under present condi tions. America would look with anxiety on the discouragement of farming activi ty either through the government's neglect or Its paralysis of socialistic practices. A republican administra tion will ho committed to renewed re gard for agriculture and seek the par ticipation of fnrmer.s in curing the ills Justly complained of, and aim to' place the American farm where It ought to be; highly ranked in American activi ties and fully sharing the highest good fortunes of American life. Becomingly associated with fids subject qre the policies of Irrigation and reclamation, so essential to agri cultural expansion, and the continued development of the great and wonder ful west. It Is our purpose to continue and enlarge general aid not in sec tional partiality, hut for the good of all America. I believe a budget system will effect a necessary, helpful reformation, and reveal business methods lo government business. I believe federal depart ments should be made more business like and send back lo productive effort thousands, of federal employees, who are either duplicating work or not es sentfal at all. I believe in the protective tnrin pol icy and know we will be calling for Its Having Amcricuuisiu again. I believe In a great merchant ma rine. I would have this republic the leading muratlme nation of the world I believe In a navy ample to protect It nnd able to assure us dependable de fense. I believe in a small army, but the best In the world, with a mindful ness for preparedness, which would avoid the unutterable cost of our pre vlous neglect. I believe in our emi nence In trade abroad, which the gov ernment should aid In expanding, both hi revealing markets anil speeding car goes. I believe In establishing stand ards for immigration, which are con corned with the future citizenship of the republic, not with mere man power In Industry. I bHIove that every mini who dons tho garb of American citizen ship and walks in the light of Amer ican opportunity, must huconio Amort can In heart and soul.. I hellee lii holding fast to eer. for wnrd step In unshackling child labor and elevating conditions of women's employment. 1 believe the federal gov-" eminent should stamp out lynching and j remove thnt stnln from the nanfe of j America. I believe the federal govern- i menf should give effective aid In solv ing the problem of ample and becom ing l ousing of its cltlxctts.hlp. I be lieve thin government should mako Its l.lheily and Victory bonds worth nil that Its patriotic citizens paid In pur chasing them. 1 believe the tax bur dens Imposed for the war emergency must ne revised to the needs of peace nud In the Interest of equity In distribution of the burden. I believe the negro eltlnons of Amer ica should he guaranteed tho enjoy ment of all their rights as thev have earned the full measure of cltlnenshlp bestowed: that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and Justice demands. I believe there Is an easy and open path to righteous relationship with Mexico. It has .seem ed to me that our undeveloped, uncer tain and Infirm policy has made us a culpable party to the governmental misfortunes In that land. Oar relations ought to bo both friendly and sympa thetic. Wo would Hire to acclaim a stable government there and offer n neighborly baud In pointing out the way to greater progress. 1 believe 111 law enforcement. If elected, I mean to be a constitutional president, and It Is impossible to Ignore the constitution, unthinkable to evade the law, when our every committal Is to orderly gov ernment. The four million defenders on land and sea were worthy of the best traditions of a people never war like In peace and never pacifists In war. They commanded our pride. They have our gratitude, which must have genuine expression. It Is not only a duty, it Is a privilege to see that the sacrifices made shall he requited and that those still suffering from cas ualties and disabilities shall be abun dantly aided and restored to the high est capabilities of citizenship and Its enjoyment. The womanhood of Amer ica, always Its glory, Its Inspiration, and the potent uplifting force In Its social and spiritual development is about to be enfranchised. In-so-far as congress can go, the fact Is already ac complished by party edict. Hy my re corded vote, by personal conviction, I am committed to tills measure of Justice. It Is my earnest hope, my sincere desire, that the one needed state vote be quickly recorded In the alllrmatlon of the right of equal suf frage and that the vote of every citi zen shall be cast and counted In the approaching election. And to the great number of noble women who have op posed In convict Ion this tremendous change In the ancient relation of the sexes as applied to governmunt, I ven ture to plead that they will accept the full responsibility of enlarged citizen ship and give to tho best In the repub lic their suffrage and support. Ours is not only a fortunate people, but a very common sense people, with vision high, hut their feet on the earth, with belief In themselves and faith In God. Whether enemies threaten from without or menaces arise from within, there Is some Indefinable voice saying, "Have confidence in the Republic America will go on." A Lit BUT A. LANK.
