Tells Home Folk That He has Come Through Campaign Withotai ? Apology or Regret. ' ' ' Marion, Ohio, Nov. 4.?Making his! t' first speech as president-elect, War- j ren G. Harding declared at an elec-1 tion celebration of home /oik here j tonight that the Versailles league of; nations was "now deceased" al-1 though the new administration in- j t , * i tended to see that the nation played j its nart in a new international asso-1 j * J ! ciation founded on peace and jus- j tice. v i Nr. Harding also told his friends! | and neighbors, who gathered around; | the front porch in a cheering con-! I course rivalling the greatest crowds ! i of the campaign, that he had come j j through the fight without "an apol-. [ j ogy or a regret" and that he would rather not nave tne presidency man to win it 'by speaking ill or utter-, ^ ing a lie." The celebration in which many from other Ohio cities joined, was. characterized by all the carnival fea-! tures of an old political rally. So great was the gathering that' the streets were jammed for a block away and only a small part of those present could hear the speech. In a | parade past the Harding residence; [ there were many special features, one man leading; a donkey' on whose s sides was painted "Jimmie didn't treat me right," while another crroup j. carried a dummy eorpste; silhouetted against a red fire background and labelled "The League of Nations." It was from the latter tableau that " i the president-elect took the cue for J j the leading thought of. his speech, j His reference to it started a laugh, and then he said: ' "I didn't see as much sorrow in. your faces as I had apprehended. It's not that you or I question the 'locirp of America to olav its part; its * | not that we question the high ideals ~ of those who were responsible for the Versailles covenant. You ju.st didn't i want a surrender of the United , States of America; you wanted America to#go on under American ideals. That's why you didn't care for the league which is now deceased. ' "America is playing a great part now. America is healing* the heart of the old world tonight as 110 other ' nation. But there is more to be; ^ there is a new world relationship and : when the next administration comes into power we're going to play our I part.

Three Quarters of pillion Doi r Jars Transit..I Stock. The State. Greenwood, Nov. 4.-?H. H. Rikard, master of equity of Newberry county, is hearing testimony here today in a reference in the matter oi the case of Camperdown mills oi Greenwood vs. Glenn-iLowry Manufacturing company of Whitmire and J.

COllOn mill inuil UJ. tins at-cii-c, agauisi the present owners of the GlennLowry mill and Messrs. Self and Abney, who purchased a large block oi the common stock of the mill, held as treasury stock. The control of the mill is involved in the suit. During the presidency of William Coleman, it is stated, he became in debted to the mill in large sums and the obligations were finally liquidated by the surrender on the part oi Mr. Coleman of his holdings of common stock in the mill to the mill itself. Kis stock, the Glenn-Lcwrj company alleges, was held as treasury stock, to be disposed of as miglvf seem best to the management of the mill. Some time last spring the directors of the Glenn-Lowry companj authorized President E. E. Child 01 the mill to sell the Coleman stock ai I a fixed price and to put the ptoceeds of the sale of the stock into the ! treasury. After negotiations Presi' dent Child sold the stock to J. C . Self and J. P. Abncy, presidents oi i Greenwood cotton mills and Grende' j j mills, respectively, of Greenwood i The amount of stock was somewhal j in excess of 500 shares and at the : prices quoted that, time of arount [S125.

Chicago, Nov. 4.?The immediate ' XJ __ .^ T??j ?x > resignation ui jrrcaiucnt n noun, m order to facilitate the elevation of | President-elect Warren G. Harding j , to the office of the nation's chief ex-! j ecutive as soon as possible, was sug-j gested here today by William J. Bryan in a remarkable interview on the results of the election. : With the resignation of President, Wilson, said Mr. Bryan, Vice President Marshall would become the head of the nation. Mr. Marshall should then appoint Mr. Harding as secre tary of state and then tender his own resignation. This would make Mr., 1 Harding president at once by the; laws of succession, said Mr. Bryan.' | The reason for this novel proposal,; Mr. Bryan pointed out, is the clear- j ; cut verdict of the people on election i day which smothered the Democratic party. The defeat of his party was not unexpected, said Mr. Bryan, after what was done at the San Francisco convention. But the disaster will not result in the formation of a new party, the Commoner added. It is entirely possible that the TN .LI. i/emocrais may uc a vie i>v eic*;u urc next congress and by a conservative .policy win the election in 1924. Mr. Bryan explained for the first time why he did not support Governor Cox on the stump, although he went 2,000 mile from Florida to vote for the Democratic candida'te. "For the? first time in 40 years I made no speeches in tH!STa8$p?tigT?*e he said. "I ?ould not explain why then. My reason would be construed . as arguments against the candidate. I will tell now: "My speeches would not have fitted into the platform of the campaign. nv C" r>r\n rflnt i rm T lilt? Odll JL* laiicxovv vv?** ? though, ignored the most important issues. I knew after the convention and wrote of it, that the Democrats could not carry a single northern state. The party had become a party of evaders and not crusaders. I could not enter into a joint debate with Governor Cox while ostensibly campaigning for him. I was silent. "The Democratic party failed to take advantage of its opportunities at San Francisco. The convention did not represent the rank and file of the nar+v The largest and most influen -J ? tial group there was the idolators? office holders and non-office holders ;?whose chief object was to glorify the president and obey all his commandments. "The big Republican vote was not one of confidence in a reactionary party, but one of protest against Wilsonism, and does not indicate perma ilCilt CllgUlllVllv. "The American people can change their minds quickly. This was true even before the ballot was granted to women, who, of course, always have the privilege of changing their minds. "It is entirely possible the next presidential election will go Democratic by as large a majority as this one went Republican. The fury against the president expended itself at the polls and the reaction will set . in at once. "The largest vote cast by the ?- i'o o vrarnino- asrainst : j III ill Ui (iai ticj u ..... 0 ? j attempts to cany out reactionary \ j plans. It shows the country is progressive, and the Democratic party is progresive, as shown by its record. "Was I at all shocked by the result of the election? The shock was spread over a prolonged period of time. I could expect nothing else | after what the convention did. I am J . in the position of a member of a family which has been bereaved by a , death long expected and resulting i after a long illness. Therefore the; I ? ~ , 11 accumulates or purchases stock to i ! the par value of .$50, after which he shall participate in cash dividends on 1 patronage the same as stockhold' _ ft ers. Mr. Manning said that the special committee will at once proceed to se cure a charter and a meeting to or' ganize the corporation will be held 1 Friday, November 12. | i > Jpon son to Resign shock was not as sudden as it migbc have been." Washington, Nov. 4.?"I can make no comment on any <?uch suggestion," said Joseph P. Turanlty when shown the statement by William Jennings Bryan calling upon President Wilson to resign and calling upon Vice President Marshall as his successor to appoint S?nator Harding secretary of state. It was Mr. Bryan's suggestion that Mr. Marshall should then resign, permit- . -\^j ting the president-elect to function as president without delay. ...> All members of the cabinet who could be found tonight also refused . to make comment. _ Marion, Ohio, Nov. 4.?Presidentelect Warren G.
