By Associated Press
Senator Harding’s front-porch
campaign today began with a pil-
grimage to Marion by a delegation
from Mansfield and the surrounding
country in Richland county Ohio to
pay their respects to the republican
nominee and hear him discuss nation-
al issues
The first of the many groups of
voters that are to come here during
the summer on similar mission the
delegation marched on the Harding
residence with flags and banners fly-
ing and with bands sounding a sonor-
ous message of greetings Marion
was in holiday dress and spirit to
welcome them and to give the front-
porch scene a rousing send off
The visitors counted themselves al-
most as homefolks as Mansfield is
only forty miles from Marion Farm-
ers store keepers and professional
men marched together in the caval-
cade which paid its compliment to
the men and women to emphasize the
united support it pledged to the can-'
i didate
"
Marion July 31 — In the opening
speech of his front-porch campaign
Harding told a delegation from Rich-
land county Ohio today that the
greatest usefulness of the nations de-
mand a leveling of class and sectionnl
harriers and a realization of the “in-
terdependents and neutrality of in-
terest of all our people”
The great war he said had helped
forward such a realization thru many
ways by which in peace time the rule
of “communal friendship” and equal
epportunity could be encouraged
Closer co-operation In Industry and
complete assimilation of the foreign-
bom he suggested aa point in the
way to a fuller national accord
Urging also a readjustment of tax-
ation he expressed doubt whether tne
war-time excess profits levy was in
harmony with peace requirements but
added be had not yet worked out the
details of a revised tax system
“We ought to make wealth bear its
full share of taxation” he said “and
we ever will Having this thought in
mind and also thinking of the exces-
sive cost of living I doubt if the ex-
cess profit tax for war precisely ac-
complished the end we seek in peace
I would gladly recommend a change
but I am not yet prepared to suggest
an equitable substitute though I
should have no hesitancy in asking
congress to seek the earliest possible
solution"
The league of nations he did not
refer to directly but he declared the
“nation’s highest duty is to clinfr to
the fundamentals on which we build-
ed and hold fast to the nationality
which inspired our onward march"
“I am pleased that you come not
only as Republicans but as neighbors
and friends We need to cultivate
friendliness and neighborliness I
sometimes think In the busy work-a-day
world we are neglecting those lit-
tle acts of neighboriiness that make
life sweet and worth while It is well
enough for ene to strive to get ahead
in a material sense for through that
ambition human progress is wrought
To acquire and accumulate honestly
is most laudable but we should not
forget that life’s greatest joys lie in
the social concourse of friends and
neighbors Out of such relations grow
mutual respect mutual sympathy ana
mutual interest without which life
holds little of real enjoyment”
“The tendency to class conscious-
rcss is a product of developing for-
tune and Is both reflex of develop-
ment and a menace to maintain prog-
ress We must caution against class
distinction and class conflict at every
ttep
“We have the touch of intimacy
and that closer understanding which
emphasizes the thought I have in
mind We cannot pron ite agriculture
alone because the factory is neces-
sary to the making of a market We
cannot foster the factory and ignore
agriculture because the farm is our
base of fod supply
“Despite all the depreciation 1
cannot bring myself to accept the
notion that the inner relation among
our men and women has departed We
are a democratic people Our states
founded by people who brought with
them the ancient social custom of
neighboriiness — the tie that keeps
communities together whose widen-
ing circle makes of the mass of homo-
geneous people"

MEXICO WILL FOLLOW
OTHER COUNTRIES CUSTOMS
By Associated Press
MEXICO CITY July 31— Apirei
oft may proclaim the man but it no
longer will proclaim the Mexican
diplomat if the recommendations of
Miguel Covarrubias secretary of for-
eign relations are adopted by the
government
Senor Covarrubias proposes that
the ornate gold-braided uniforms
worn by the nation’s envoys in other
times be supplanted by the severely
s:mple frock coats which constitute
the full-dress of diplomats represent-
ing the United State and other coun-
tries! ' '
Besides arguing that Mexico should
fall in line with the customs of other
countries advocates of diplomatic
dress reform point out that the rec-
ommendation! of Senor Covarrubias
If adopted would result in appreci-
able economies and would help con-
vince the world that Mexico is truly
democratic
In supporting the new movement
for dress simplification El Heraldo
de Mexico recalls that during the
Carranza regime a certain Mexican
diplomat upon presenting his creden-
tials to a fastidious and punctilious
European court chose not to wear
the conventional diplomatic uniform
in vogue at that time but instead at-
tired himself In a flaming frock coat
adorned with a general’s epaulets
and wore a tricolor band across his
shirt front and gilded spurs on his
boots This diplomat had read some-
where that a minister plenipotentiary
held the rank of general and lacking
a general’s uniform had adorned his
flamboyant frock coat with what he
believed to be the proper martial ac-
