Marion, July 21.—Harding’s speech
of acceptance tomorrow is expected
by his close associates to give promi

campaign towards a squarely joined

presidential nominee declared they
are confident today he will make a dec

pldtform and party record and bridg
ing successfully the republican dif
ference of opinion which threateneid
to split them at Chicago. The exact
form of the declaration is not reveal
ed but it was said authoratively it
would follow the trend of the Sena
tor's recent statements on the subject
and be particularly militant in its op
position to the Wilson policies, to
which he regards the democratic par
