Gov. W, L. Harding of Iowa fittingly commemorated tho memory of tho Republican parly' founder In his address beforo upward of COO Republicans, mon and womuu attending tho Lincoln day banquet at the Hotol titan last night. Tho speaker's oulogy to tho rail-splitting rail-splitting President's, "record stirred his auditors to hearty applause many times. Tho banquet hall was tho sceno of wild applauso as tho big audlonco arose to Its feet, when tho Iowa chief exocutlvo said" that Utah should return re-turn Senator Reed Smoot to tho Senate Sen-ate "for at least six years."

On this point ho took pains to Bpeal; of Herbert Hoover Hoov-er as not big enough to lower aboru any party. Speaking of the League of Nations ho said 'Wo must keop "our own houso In order. Wo will load nnd tha world win follow. I am quite certain that all tho people have made their minds on tho treaty, excopt ono pj' son and he would chango his mind could he go put and got tho vlowpolnt of tho Amorlcan people." CLASS PART OPPOSED Governor Harding said he was unequivocally un-equivocally opposed to any "class party, be it labor, farmer, lawyer, bankor or any other particular class" Tho Ropubllcan party stands on Its record of being beneficial to tho development de-velopment of tho individual, ho said. 'Tlio nation Is facing a menace of radicalism," said GoTSrnor Harding "8omo o'f tho I. W. W.o should bo doported, Bombihoutd bo Jailed nnd some should bo shot." Ho declared tho socialistic form of government Is not for tho Individual benefit. I '5n form and ideals wo nro tho Oldest esiaollshed government on the ,faco of tho earth," ho declared. "All other governments havo changed. Sonio will say England Is an exception, excep-tion, but England was an absolute monarchy tho second tlmo wo UckM 'em. They'vo all changed.

Can you reckon our obligation, obliga-tion, which dates back to tho days of tho civil war? Tho foundations or 'our great United States have been sot by him. Concclvo of whal would l.avo happened had Lincoln not been ready when ho was callod. If he had not answered his country cull, the United States would not have been a union today."
