Chicago,' Oct. 31 (Special Tele

Will H. Hays, chairman of-the re
publican national committee:
"Two years ago, speaking in mv
capacity as chairman of the republi
can national committee, I appealed
to republicans to reject President
Wilson's amazing demand for the
bestowal of absolute authority upon
himself as executive. The result at
the polls was emphatic and decisive.
The Wilson demand was denied, -by
an enormous majority. ,
"Nevertheless, he contemptuously
ignored the verdict which he had
sought, assumed the attitude of an
autocrat, refused to heed the advice
of a co-ordinate branch, of the gov
ernment as required by the constitu
tion; perpetuated for the United
States among all the nations of earth

and attained by honest political
methods.

paign message from the stump. He
was greeted at the railway station by
as cheering crowd, and later was ac
claimed by thousands as he drove
through the streets.
In all of his speeches. Mr. Hard
ing emphasized his stand on domestic
issues which he declared the demo
cratic managers had sought to ob
scure by a fog of debate about the
league of nations. He also asserted
repeatedly that it was the "confi
dence" of the nation to which he
was appealing and that the methods
of his party in the campaign had
beenfree trom the class appeal.
. No Apologies.
"There isn't anything that has hap
pened in this campaign," he said,
that the republican party or its nom
inee .is ever going to be called upon
to apologize for."
On the way from Cincinnati, where
lie spent last night, tne senator spoke
at Middletown, the boyhood home
of Governor Cox, at Dayton, where
the governor now " lives, and at
Springfield, the home of one of the
Cox newspapers. In none of his
upeeches did he mention his oppc-
ncnt'e name, but he made many ref
erences to the democratic nominee's
campaign utterances and voiced in
pointed terms his own rep!y to them.
At Middletown, where many steel
workers were in ithe .crowd, Mr,
Harding argued for the protective
tariff policy to preserve the Ameri
can steel industry and repeated his
declaration that intelligent public
opinion must be the judge at the
polls next Tuesday .y i.- f
"We , are witnessing today," " he
said, "practically the close of a great
presidential candidate and as one
speaking for the republican party, I
rejoice to say to -you that we have

Hitchcock Denies
Roosevelt Approved
I j Dodge Reservations
United States Senator Gilbert M.
Hitchcock tonight issued the follow
ing statement relative to the reported
assertion of Mrs. Douglas Robinson
that her late brother Theodore
Roosevelt, "approved" the Lodge
reservations to the league of nations
covenant!. -
"I notice in press dispatches a
very grave misstatement regarding
the socalled Lodge reservations by
Mrs. Douglas Robinson. It is said
that when he was ill Senator Lodge
visited the hospital and , obtained
Roosevelt's .approval to every one
Of the Lodge reservations.' - The fact
is that Roosevelt died before the
conference met to begin, considera
tion of the treaty. At that time the
league of natioi s covenant was not
written, nor was it even known that
it would be. -- '
"Roosevelt died January 6, 1919;
the Paris conference, began three
weeks later and the freaty was not
signed till five months thereafter. Ths
Lodge reservations were not drafted
or reported by the foreign relations
committee till September and Roose
velt had been dead eight months.
"As, a matter of . fact severaf of
the Lodge reservations are in direct
conflict with Roosevelt's great ad
dress delivered when he received the
Nobel peace prize at Christiana." .

and myself on the code bill in Lin

wasn't familiar with the bill and
asked to be excused," shouted Gov
ernor McKelvie, and .the crowd
laughed and applauded. . . " . '
Governor McKelvie said Mdre
head's offer to reduce taxes -when
elected was "simply an admission
that he is against Kood roads and the
good roads, program for the, state."
He quoted statistic to show the ef
ficiency of the state law enforcement
division, and declared the election
of Morehead meant letting the bars
down. i. " T
The bootlegger is the worst kind
of a crimnial," said the governor,

"During the Morehead adminis

the governor. "There are now SSO
prisoners, and yet the democrats at
tempt to criticise our prison record.
The return of Beryl Kirk to the

willing to admit it, but we also at
tempt to' remedy out ; mistakes. We
were simply following democratic
