Harding* today in accepting formally tha Republican nomination for the presidency. He welcomed n popular referendum on the league of nations, advocated Increased production to cut the high I cost of living, pleaded for obliteration of sectional and class conflict, and de? clared for industrial peace "not forced but inspired by tho common weal." X Prohibition he gave only a passing notice, saying that despite divided opinion regarding tho eighteenth amendment and tho statutes enacted to make it operative, there must be no evasion in their enforcement. He de? clared it his "sincere desire" that rati? fication of the suffrage amendment be completed to permit women to vote in every state. Reviewing and commending briefly many other planks of the party plat? form, the candidate declared for col? lective bargaining for farmers, repres? sion of the disloyal, "generous federal cooperation" in rehabilitating the rail? roads, intelligent deflation of the cur? rency, enlargement of ?jovernment aid in reclamation, a genuine expression of gratitude to veterans cf the world war and maintenance of an ample na? vy and "a small army but the best in tho world." In his promise of "a party govern? ment," Senator Harding reiterated hta belief that the vice president should have a part in the affairs of the chief executive's official family and declared there also should be a cordial under? standing and coordinated activities" I between tho executive and congress. "No man," he Haid, "is big enough to run this great republic. "Our first commltal Is the restoration of repre? sentative popular government, under the constitution, through the agency of the, Reput Ucan party." Promising restoration of peace as soon as a Republican congress should send a peace declaration to a Tic pub? lican president for his signature, the candidate assailed the league covenant j as brought home by President Wilson, but declared the war'? sacrifice would he "Pi vain if we cannot acclaim a ROW order, with ad? ?d security to civiliza? tion and peace maintained." "We Republicans of the senate." ho continued, "when we saw tho struc? ture of a world supergovernment tak? ing visionary form. Joined in a becom? ing warning of our devotion to this republic. The Republicans of the senate halted the barter of independ? ent American eminence and influ? ence. "We do not mean to hold aloof. Wo do not mean to shun a single respon-, si' dllty of this republic.

Let those now responsible, or seeking re? sponsibility, pro-pose the surrender, whether with interpretations, apolo? gies, or reluctart reservations,?front which our rights are to be omitted. We welcome the referendum to the American people on the preservation of America. ? "With a senate advising as the con? stitution contemplates.

Declaring railway employes ought to be the best paid In the world, the candidate* emphasised the responsibil? ity of such service and added: "The government might well stamp railway employment with the sanctity of public service and guarantee to the railway employes that Justice which voices the American conception of righteousness on the one hand and assures cnntlrtuttyrof service on the other." In his reference to prohibition and law enforcement he said: "People ever will differ about the wisdom of the enactment of a law thor? is divided opinion regarding the eighteenth amendment and the laws enacted to make it operative but there run be no difference of opinion about honest law enforcement Modi ficutlon or repeal Is the right of a fre.. paspse, whenever tin- deliberate and Intelligent public Sentiment coni (mands; but perversion and evasion mark the paths to the fa lure of gov? ernment itself."

Tbe defense moved thai t he case be Continued on the ground that, the defendant might he of unsound mind and that they bad not had time, as they had been employed only re? cently, to prepare the defense along this line. Dr. Jf. W. BabCOCK, the fa? mous alienist, was put'on the stand and stated that while he had not had tinve- to give Joins a thorough exam? ination, it was his opinion that he might be mentally deficient. The de? fense then argued tint the court should give them time to have the de? fendant thoroughly examined as it would not be .tust to try him when he might be insane.

After due consideration, Judge Wilson made a long statement, saying that this case had been considered at much length by the court. A human life was at stake and due deliberation should be taken before putting him on trial for his life.
