4. COX ADVISES STATE TO GRANT SUFFRAGE Louisiana Legislature Told It Has Duty to Perform. VOTE IN FALL POSSIBLE Political Conferences Are to Be Postponed Until leaders Re turn From San Francisco. DAYTON". O., July 7. If the legis lature of Louisiana acts In accord with tha opinion of Governor James M. Cox, democratic nominee for pres ident, women will be enfranchised to vote at the November election and the democratic party may get the credit for making universal suffrage a fact. In a telegram to Frank J. Looney, chairman of the Louisiana state cen tral committee, Governo Cox ex pressed it as his opinion that the Louisiana legislature owes it as a duty to the democratic party to ratify at once. Mr. Looney had telegraphed the governor asking him to express his views to the legislature on rati fication of the amendment. The governor's answer to Mr. Looney follows: "I have your telegram as chalrmaj. of the democratic state central com mittee of Louisiana on the subject of the ratification of ' the suffrage amendment by the general assembly. I can only express my opinion. It is that the legislature owes It as a duty to the democratic party to ratify at once." In his official capacity as governor of Ohio, the democratic candidate has repeatedly placed himself on rec ord as being in favor of giving the vote to women. He has signed a num ber of bills intended to enfranchise women in this state and in a Bpecial message to the legislature transmit ting the federal amendment for rati fication he urged favorable action. Leaders Are Awaited. It was stated today by those In 'close touch with the democratic pres idential candidate that he contem plated conducting his campaign chiefly from Columbus, whera he will necessarily have to be much of the time in connection with his duties as governor. It has been the practice of the governor to come home each Friday from Columbus and spend the week end with his family and at his newspaper office. No political conferences of import ance are expected until the party leaders return from San Francisco. The visit of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the vice-presidential nominee, which is expected Saturday, is not antici pated to develop into anything more than exchange of felicitations. Mr. Roosevelt will stop here on his way home from the convention. The governor spent most of today at his newspaper office receiving callers and reading messages of congratulation. Among them were felicitations from all the candidates who were con tenders for the honor that came to the Ohio governor, Vice-I'res'.dent and Mrs: Marshall, cabinet members, gov ernors, political leaders of both parties, representatives of labor, busi ness men and personal friends. One message from Franklin K. Lane, ex-secretary of the interior. said: "I sincerely congratulate you and the country. Do give us a campaign that is constructive, that will chal lenge the Interest and support of the new voters. The people want to hear a definite word as to home affairs as well as foreign." Homes Are First Thought. Tonight the governor talked golf at a dinner at the .Dayton Country club. 'There is an erroneous impression that golf is a rich man's game. It is not. A set of clubs doesn't cost much," he said. He declared it en couraged outdoor life and particular ly country living. "If I have one public hobby that is more outstanding than any other, it has been the preachment of 'more homes.' You can preach patriotism to a man and appeal to his sense of duty, but you can't make the sort of appeal to him that he gains from his own reflections after he owns a home. "He buys a lot, and. auite often. borrows money to build a home; his hopes are centered in the enterpr'se and he w'orks for it and it becomes his own particular interest in his gen eral allotment on God's footstool. "When he finally achieves his ob jective and owns his own home, he realizes it is his and that he is pro letted in his ownership by his gov ernment; that under the laws, he is given the right to transfer what he has earned to the next generation and realizes that this generation, too, will be protected. "He gets a real object lesson of the relation that exists between the gov ernment." Swing of Names Liked. Governor Cox believes the demo cratlo vice-prestdentlal nominee, Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant sec "Iir FOR TIRED AND SORE FEET Use "Tiz" for puffed-up, burn ing, aching, calloused feet and corns. v hy go limping around with aching punea-up leet leet so tired, chafed, sore and swollen you can hardly get your shoes on or off?

Isn't it?" commented the governor, as he first learned who his associate on the ticket would be from the Asso ciated Press In his home at Trail's End. The governor had left his newspaper office in. the city before the vice-presidential nomination was made, and his office had forgotten to telephone him the result. Governor Cox was sitting in a re clining chair in his library enjoying his pipe and chatting with some newspaper representatives when in formed of Mr. Roosevelt's nomination. He appeared well pleased with the selection and at once dictated to tho newspaper men the congratulatory telegram which he sent to Mr. Roose velt; also the one sent to his cam paign manager, E. H. Moore.. The governor admitted that he was not intimately acquainted with Mr. Roosevelt but declared him to be a vigorous, upstanding, courageous and progressive democrat. He commented particularly upon two addresses made by the vice-presidential candidate, one before the national democratic com mittee in Chicago last winter and the other on Americanization in Dayton. He said Mr. Roosevelt's service in Washington has given him a wide experience and a wide acquaintance ship. MAXV FELICITATE ROOSEVELT Vlce-Presldentlal Nominee RecciTes Congratulatory Messages.

Supreme Bench Holds County Court Should Care for Mandatory Lev ies Before Discretionary. SALEM. Or., July 7. (Special.) County courts in making their annual budgets of taxes should take care of mandatory levies in preference to hose levies of a aiscretionary nature. according to Justice C. A. Johns, who n a supreme court opinion yesterday dismissed the action of school dis trict No. 24, of Marion county, to compel A. M. Smith, county superin tendent, to turn over to that district certain funds raised in excess of the per cent limitation law. When opposition was voiced to the Marion county court last December fixing the school levy at J8.25 per capita instead of $10 per capita as provided by law, the county court levied another tax sufficient to make up the deficiency. Collection of the atter tax was enjoined in the circuit court here on the ground that the amount raised was in excess of the 6 per cent limitation law. School district No. 24 later brought mandamus proceedings in the su preme court -to compel Mr. Smith, county superintendent, to apportion to that district funds raised tiirough the second levy of J1.75 per capita. This suit was opposed by Mr. Smith on the grounds that his authority was confined to apportioning funds raised for school purposes, and that he w in no way connectea wun tne levying or collection of the tax. His conten tion was upheld by Justice Johns. Justice Johns' opinion was con curred in by other members of the court.

PASSIVENESS IS OPPOSED Republican Chieftains of State Con fer AVith, Chairman Hays; Ohio Result Not Doubted. CHICAGO, July 7. Ohio republican leaders who conferred today with Will H. Hays, chairman of the repub lican national committee, were re ported to have disapproved of the "front porch" campaign plan for Sen ator Harding. They favored a "swing around the circuit" for the repub lican candidate, instead of the tas sive campaign that has been advo cated in some quarters. Among, those who conferred with Mr. Hays were Harry M. Daugherty, who was Senator Harding's campaign manager, and George H. Cook, chair man of the Ohio republican state com mittee. A. T.

Senator Harding today began the actual writing; of hi3 speech to be delivered on July 22, accepting the republican presidential nomination. He expects to complete it in about 10 days, during- .vhich time he plans to see but few visitors. Johnson Stand Pleases. The announcement made by Senator Johnson of California, that he would support the republican ticket, greatly pleased Senator Harding when in formed of it today. The statement did not come as a surprise, however. "I am glad Senator Johnson is go ing to give the ticket his support," the republican nominee said. "I am glad to kni'W of everybody's support," he added, "and I would much rather have support en the grounds that our platform is appealing than on the grounds of interest in the nominees." Senator Harding added that throughout, the campaign he intended to emphasize "interest in party." Campaign Fad Predicted. "It's going to be a fad in the cam paign," said the Ohio senator. Attention was called to statements attributed to Governor Cox, demo cratic presidential nominee, that he planned an intensive campaign with an extended speaking tour through the country. "I should imagine he would but that does not change my plans any," Sena tor Harding said. The senator today received a letter from Hulbu:-t Tutt, editor of the Cin cinnati Times-Star, pledging to him the suppo.-t of that publication as well as the "Tuft family." "It gratif-!s mo very greatly to know that I have the best wishes of all the Taft family and the Times Star," replied the senator. PEACE IN EAST . URGED EDITOR ADVISES FJUEXDLY REJLATIONS WITH JAl'AX. Future or China Depends on Cor dial Relations Between U. S. and Japanese, Is View. SEATTLE, Wash., July 7. Peaceful development of the orient, especially in China, depends largely on the fu lure relations ot America with Japan and a cordial agreement should be worked out between the two coun tries, according to Charles Bronson Rea, owner and editor of the Far Eastern Review of Shanghai, who sailed from Seattle for the orient to day. Mr. Rea, who was a special ad viser to the Chinese delegation at the conference, says China is in need of tremendous loans to reorganize her government and to promote her in dustries. "America and Japan are the only two world powers able to provide the necessary funds and should be on friendly terms, if for that purpose alone," said Mr. Rea. "While the ter ritorial ambitions of Japan are hold ing world attention, they are but a natural sequence of "her growth in population and some cognizance of this fact should be taken. She must have some place for her surplus popu lation and the peaceful penetration of Manchuria and Mongolia seems to be her present objective."

WATER FRONT CASE UP EQUITY IS SOUGHT IN liAXI VALUED ABOVE $1,000,000. Arguments Before Supreme Court Assert Plaintiffs Are Heirs of Late Henry Ploch. SALEM, Or., July 7. (Special.) Arguments were heard by the supreme court today in the action brought by Virginia Bailey et al. to recover from the Oregon-Washing ton Railway & Navigation company, New York Trust company and Farm ers' Loan & Trust company, equity in lands located on Portland's water front which are said to be valued at more than $1,000,000. Attorneys for the plaintiffs argued before the court that Henry Ploch settled on the lands involved in the suit on November 1, 1852, under the provisions of the federal statutes making it possible to take up dona tion land claims. He erected a cabin, according to the plaintiffs, made other improvements and continued to reside on the land until his death on March 1. 1853. Because of the severe winter of 1852 the land was not surveyed, al though plaintiffs alleged that Mr. Ploch otherwise complied with the donation land claim laws. Following Mr. Ploch's death, it is alleged that Elizabeth Thomas en tered upon and fraudulently made claim to the land. Subsequently title to the property passed into the hands of its present owners. Plain tiffs allege that they are descend ants of Mr. Ploch and that because of the latter's residence on the lands he established an equity in the prop erty which should entitle them to remuneration. The action originally was filed in the circuit court of Multnomah county, but was dismissed on de murrer to the complaint filed by the defendants. It was charged in the demurrer that the facts contained In the complaint were not sufficient to constitute a cause of action, and that the statute of limitation had run against institution of the suit.

Democratic leaders were elated over the spirit of harmony which marked the last hours of the conven tion. There had been good feeling and tolerance shown throughout the long struggle to reach a presidential nomination, it was said, but in the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt by ac clamation following withdrawal of all other candidates, these leaders saw evidence of differences buried and a determination to work hard for vic tory. It was generally agreed that the convention had been a great success. If noise and unflagging display of enthusiasm were a guage of that suc cess, there was ample ground for their view. Up to the last the dele gates were ready to cheer or to dem onstrate at every opportunity. In a way the scene Vesterday when Mr. Roosevelt was nominated rivaled that of the break up early in the morn ing of the McAdoo-Cox deadlock and the nomination of Governor Cox. Westerner Gets Klrst Move. Nominating speeches were again the order of the day when the con vention assembled at noon. Half a dozen candidates were put forward and there was evidence that a strong movement was on to name a man from the west. Just before that, however, a final demonstration had followed the read ing of a telegram from Governor Cox by Chairman Robinson thanking the convention for its expression of faith in him. For the last time the dele gates ripped up the state standards. my of them showing scars ot scrimmages that were fought r.round them during the nomination fight. The parade through aisles went ahead to the rattling accompaniment of the Cox battle song of "Ohio, Ohio," thundered out by the band. With order restored, nomination of vice-presidential candidates went ahead. Tammany Aarrees With Cox. The word got about that Governor Cox had thrown his influence to the assistant secretary of the navy and that Tammany objections to nil nomination had been sunk In the de sire for party harmony. A moment later Chairman Robineon recognized Governor Smith of. New York, who made his way to the platform amid cheers and with the band working hard on "The Side walks of New York," made-famous in the convention by the demonstration in which it played an important part in the first days of the gathering. A sweeping indorsejnent of Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy by Governor Smith set the ball rolling. As speaker after speaker reappeared to with draw opposing candidates and second the Roosevelt nomination, a wave of cheering swept through the hall. The end of the convention was at hand and when former Governor Francis of Missouri signalized withdrawal of his name by moving suspension of rules and nomination of the New Yorker by acclamation, the shout of "aye" that ratified his action shook the roof of the massive civic audi torium for the last time.

DORMITORY BIDS OPENED Cost of Building for Feeble-Minded Kxceeds Kxpectations. SALEM. Or., July " 7. (Special.)
