Harding Promises
Same Policy in
North and South
Suggests "Diversified Pqlitics"
As Thing Required to Re
move Last Trace of Sec
' tional Misunderstanding.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct 14. To
the voters of the democratic south,
Senator Harding tonight addressed
an appeal for earnest consideration
o republican principles ind gave a
promise- that republican succeisea tit
the election would mean "the same
policy of helpful protection tv all
American production, north or
south."
In a speech at the Auditorium
here, he suggested "diversified poli
tics" as the thing to remove the last
trace of sectional inisunderstanJing
and said that his party had no policy
for one section that it did not pi each
for all sections alike.
The democratic party he attacked
for its conduct of affairs both at
home and abroad. President Wilson,
he said, repeatedly had dictated to
congress even at the expense of
violating pledges of his own party
platform, and finally had attempted
to force acceptance of the league of
nations covenant by depriving the
senate of its constitutional powers.
An ambiguity in the federal con
stitution, he said, had. b"n respon
sible for the Civil war, and lie voiced
a hope that no similar catasthrope
would be courted by accepting a
league covenant "containing a score
of ambiguities."
Complete Understanding.
''Looking back now in the concord
of union," he said, "we note no dif
ference in patriotic love of country
north or south; rather a misunder
standing as to the meaning of it. It
little matters now about grievances
about early difficulties, about the
embittered disappointments. The su
preme fact is thai we are reunited.
"All that the north and south ever
Heeded was understanding with one
another. We have that understand
ing now. '
We are not wholly of one mind in
our jiarty devotion, but it will be
a grand day for America when our
partisan difficulties are buried in the
concord of new understanding. If
republican policies are good for the
north they deserve the earnest con
sideration of the south.
"Highways of steel, improved
roads and avenues of exchanging
commerce have intersected the old
Mason and Dixon line until it is
only a historical memory. Your
commerce is American commerce.
"Uir production is American pro
duction. Your farm products and
our farm 'products are essential to
fVmerican- life.
G. O. P. Doctrines Same.
"We are inter-dependent and the
republican party proclaims the
same doctrine of agricultural good
fortune in the south that it does in
the north. It preaches the same pol
icy of a helpful protection to all
American production, north or south.
"We believe jn protecting cotton
knd cotton seed products of the
south, and wheat and wool in the J
north. .We believe in protection for
peanuts 'south and potatoes north.
We believe in southern factories and
northern factories selling to Amer
ica first and we acclaim an industrial
south as one of the essentials to the
ideal republic.
"I want the self-reliant America,
self-reliant agriculturally, self-reliant
politically. That is why I in
sist that wt shall never accept a
league of nations with the material
heart of a military alliance, to rule
the world 'by force of arms. North
and south fought because the states
of the ?outh thought they had the
right to withdraw from the union.
The north thought the union to be
indissoluble. Then came the con
flict over an ambiguity in the con
stitution. There are a score of am
biguities in the president's cove
nant and he would not tolerate their
clarification by reservations.

Ireland is seething. ( Reports from
Lisburn state that more th,an a mil

been destroyed there through fires
set by Ulster unionists in reprisal
for the shooting of Police Inspector
Swanzy. In a London prison Lord
Mayor MacSwiney of Cork lies at
the point of death 'from his hunger

flame. This, according to reports,
is the opinion of even the most con
servative people in England and Ireland.

Indianapolis, Oct. 14. Political
prognostication is a hazardous
undertaking for if there is anything
mare uncertain than the weather u
's politics and particularly hazard
ous -iu Indiana, the grand old pivotal
state of the eleatoral college.
Thus prefacing my remarks with
:.n alibi, I boldly opine that Hard
ing and Coolidge will carry Indiana
on November 2 next. Perhaps not
by the 100,000 plurality promised by
the republican managers, but by 50,
C00, if they realize reasonable expec
tations. Governor Cox is going to rttn
much better in Indiana than in any
of the other Hates in the Lake
Michigan group, but not well enough
to land the Iloosier electoral vote,
'n my opinion.
Normally, neither party can count
on any great numerical advantage of
the other in Indiana. This year
there bids fair to be a deal more
ticket scratching than usual, but the
indications are that the democrats
will sustain more losses from this
source than the republicans.
League Sentiment Strong.
Cox is going to receive the votes
of thousands of republicans in this
state who are in favor of the United
States accepting the president's
league of nations covenant. There
is much .more pro-league sentiment
noticeable in Indiana than in the
other states of the group. I am
told that all but two of tlie more
important republican newspapers in
the state have supported the cove
nant, .either with or without reserva
tions, from the start. The women
also have been particularly active jn
contending for the Wilson covenant
Pro-league sentiment is such a fac
tor in the contest that the republican
managers here have not relished
such pronouncements against the

Washington, Oct. 14. President
Wilson and democratic leaders in the
east are reported to have taken hearty
have determined upon an intensive
fioht fnr th Unaue of nations from
now until election day-the efforts of
the party's shock troop squadron to
be directed chiefly in five or six
states.
Governor Cox's conduct of the
league of nations issue since Presi
dent Wilson issued his appeal to the
country is declared to have met with
the president's entire approval, which
had not been given before that time,
arid a general patching up of differ
ences between the Wilson and Cox
.factions has resulted.
The reports to the president from
democratic sentiment sounders are
that there has been a trend to Cox
ever since Mr. Wilson issued his ad-A.-.m
tr, "fv Wlnw r-ountrvmen.'
j r r. . , . i
and since Senator Harding declared!
himself against the league covenant?!
This trend, it is said, was piainiy no
ticeable in Jowa, Nebraska, New Jer
sey, Indiana and Ohio, and it is in
these states, together with Illinois,
that efforts are to be spent in the
coming three weeks.

covenant by Senator Harding as he
delivered at Des Moines, feeling
that he was only driving more
Hoosiers into the arms ef Cox.
Democrats Divided.
On the other hand, the democratic
party in the state is far from a unit
on the league of nations question.
Democrats of Irish, German .and
Italian extraction, notably, are off
the Jeffersonian reservation this
year in Indiana, as elsewhere, and
canvasses of democratic strong
holds has disclosed a large propor
tion of native soil democrats who
intend to vote for Harding on the
league issue. A notable exception,
however, is Indianapolis, where the
democratic managers have formed
an Irish-American Cox club of 3,500
members to demonstrate that the
Irish are still loyal to the party.

Text of League.
Fort Wayne, Ind., Oct. 14. At
tack on the league of nations poli
cy of Senator Harding and of former
President Taft was continued by
Governor Cox in another strenuous
day's campaigning in Indiana.
That there was a conspiracy to
deceive the American jury by de
priving it of the facts in this great
case through failure to print the
league convenant in "reactionary"
papers and in the republican na
tional campaign bod'k, also was
stressed by the candidate. He is
sued a statement calling upon the
league supporters to raise a fund for
printing and distributing the cpve-nant.
- Governor Cox addressed crowdsi
aggregating many thousands at Del
phi, Logansport, Peru, Wabash,
Huntington and here, where he clos
ed with a street meeting. At most
of the cities the governor spoke from
especially built stands on. court
house squares. Windows and ledges
of the court houses and adjacent
buildings were filled with spectators.
At Logansport, the candidate spoke
to a large crowd on a corner lot. '
Much Confusion.
He encountered numerous diffi
culties including strong winds with
dust, noisy small boys, roaring air
planes and confusion in the rear of
today's crowds and, after the gover
nor began speaking hundreds left,
apparently unable to hear.
Brass bands and automobile pa
rades, daylight fire works, siren
whistles and a democratic women's
quartet from Huntington were
other features of the day's Indiana
campaign.
Governor Cox reiterated that the
"great case of the league of na
tions is about ready for the jury"
and he stressed the declaration that
the league supporters should vote
for him and opponents of Senator
Harding. ' -
