TIIE MORNING OREGONIxVN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1920 COX DECLARES HE IS ERIN'S FRIEND Governor in Butte Continues Campaign Fight. r CHARGES HELD CONFIRMED Bludgeon Wielded as"Csual on Op ponent, "Senatorial Oligarchy" and "Big Business." total would reclaim 150.000 square miles of waste. It would build ten permanently paved arteries entirely across the United States. "Think of this in terms of reclama tion of arid and waste lands, if you will, and think what It would mean to have 1.000,000 men, exclusive of the thousands required. in shipyards and ammunition plants, turning: their activities to the production of the ne cessities of life, rather than to em ployment in the creation of agencies for.the destruction of life." In discussing reclamation, the gov ernor also declared against "our pres ent ill-considered system of reclama tion projects. "What we need." he added, "is a definite programme, fitted into a, def inite business administration, . . . by which the potential reclamation of land may be surveyed and a pro gramme adopted by which, each year, there will be added for public use a definite number of acres, under such provisions as will mean the early en largement of reclaimed acreage and production." Quest for Evidence at Hear ing Is Fruitless. BUTTE. Mont.. Sept. 3. .V definite pledge to -present the- Irish caruse" to the league of nations, in event of his election, and further vigorous attacks on republican leaders and that party's contributions were made here tonight by Governor Cox of Ohio, in closing his Montana cam paign. Governor Cox was Introduced here by Judge J. J. Lynch and by Governor Stewart of Montana to other audi ences, all of which gave hearty re ceptions. Admirers at Helena, where he spoke before going to Anaconda for a 6 o'clock theater meeting and returning to Butte this evening, put aboard the governor's train a quar ter of elk for a game dinner tomor row. Washington Tonred Today. The governor's schedule called for his departure from Butte tonight and his arrival early tomorrow at Spo kane, Wash., to deliver an address at the interstate fair. Another ad dress planned there was to the Young Voters' league. The governor will tour western Washington tomorrow afternoon and Saturday, when Bellingham, Tacoma and Seattle are to be the principal points reached. . In three extensive speeches today at Helena, Anaconda and Butte and in a half-dozen rear platform talks cn route, the democratic presidential candidate hammered the league, the republican "corruption fund" and labor issues into his audiences. Irish (location Develops. The Irish question developed at the governor's meeting here in front of the courthouse. "It would be my duty," he said, "and very quickly availed of, as a friend of peace, asserting the friend ly right of any member of the league, to present the Irish cause to the at tention of the league under the au thority given by article XI and give to Ireland or any other aggrieved peoplo the opportunity to plead their cause before the bar of civilized opinion." Dealing with testimony before the senate investigating committee at Chicago, Governor Cox made fresh assaults upon Will H. Hays, repub lican national committee chairman. Treasurer- Upham and his assistant, Henry M. Blair. The governor de clared that the Chicago testimony had confirmed . his "slush fund" charges, on the heels of denials by Chairman Hays and. other republican officials. H.ril.c Again Attacked. His arguments on the league, set tlement of strikes by the golden rule instead of by bayonets and progres sivism were given by the governor. He also reiterated attacks upon Sen ator Harding, his republican oppon ent, the "senatorial oligarchy" and "big business." In discussing the. league the gov ernor presented local questions in Anaconda and Butte, with their large laboring populations, of many racial sources, and their copper Interests, and at Helena he also urged reclama tion development. Through the league, the candidate said, material prosper ity would be had by creating foreign markets for copper and other. prod ucts of mine, farm and labor when European conditions become stabil ized. The Irish question. Governor Cox said, needs settlement to permit of peace between the English-speaking races. Reading article 11 of the league covenant, providing for consideration by the league council or assembly of any international questions whatever. "which threaten to disturb either the peace or the good understanding be tween nations," Governor Cox said that under existing conditions the Irish question could not.be presented to the bar of public opinion. "Under the league it can," he con tlnucd. "We have four times as many people of Gaelic blood in the United States as there are in Ireland and their natural feelings not only figure in our domestic relations, but also stand like granite between the stretching hands of England and America. So long, therefore, as the Irish question remains unsettled there wili be conflict in America with the idea of world-wide co-operation between the English-speakins na tiODS. "It must not be forgotten that when we took up arms the thing that gave us unity and great enthusiasm was our declaration that we fought to end the rule of might; that we were cham pions of the rights of small peoples; that we stood for the reign of law based upon the consent of the gov erred. As I have said before, the league contemplates enduring peace. J Here cannot be peace without happi nets. "There will not be happiness with out justice, lou cannot take noun tains nor rivers, nor other physical characteristics and by their natural lines create governmental entities that will endure. On the other hand, racial groups form a better guaran tee of peace. This is not only funda mental in common sense, but it touches the basic principle of the armistice and the league Itself. There fore. I contend that the league of nations will be helpful to the civil ization of the world, because It will be creative of a new life, national ana otherwise, for radical groups which have for generations fostered the same alms and hopes and aspira Hons that inspired the founders of our republic." 1AXD RECLAMATION URGED Governor Cox Pleads for Develop' rucnt of West. HELENA. Mont.. Sept. 9. Argu ments in Mehalf of the league of na tlors adapted to affairs of the wes' vere presented here today by Gov ernor Cox, democratic presidential candidate. He outlined what he de dared T. ere practical material bene fi-.s to flow from the league, in audi tior: ir other interests. "It has recently been figured, said of states, adopting the plan of on battleship would reclaim 2,000,000 acres of land. "Multiply this by 48, the number of states, adopting thep lan of on battleship for each state, and you have a staggering total and, if prop erly applied, the answer to the prob lem of housing in our cities, the an swer to the question of increased . production for sustenance of huma life. The expenditure required in TRICKED, ANSELL ADMITS EX-JUDGE-ADVOCATE DUPED BY DRAFT EVADER. Former Officer Acknowledges He Was Completely Hoodwinked by Grover C. Berg-doll. NEW TORK, Sept. 9. Samuel T. Ansell, former acting judge-advocate- general of the army, today admitted hat he had been "completely hood winked" by Grover C. Bergdoli, draft vader, who escaped from his guards several weeks ago while in Phila delphia on his way to Maryland to recover his "buried treasure." General Ansell was the first wit ness at the courtmartial of Sergeant John O'Hare, one of Bergdoll's guards, charged with allowing him get away. He said that when, as Bergdoll's counsel, he personally had asked the war department to per mit him to make the trip to Mary- arid, he had the "strongest belief in he man a good faith. Bergdoll s assurances and his own feeling that Bergdoli would not Jeopardize his hances of successful appeal led him o vouch for him to the war depart ment, he explained. General Ansell said he thought then and thinks now that Bergdoli "had a good case" n his contemplated appeal from his entence. The government sprang a surprise by resting its case without calling E. Clarence Gibboney, another Bergdoli attorney. The defense then called him. Gibboney expressed implicit belief in the honesty and efficiency of the two guards, O'Hare and Calvin York. He said he believed they were simply outwitted by "a dastard and that dastard was my client. Mr. Gibboney, who declared had he been under any responsibility for Begdoll'is custody he would have kept htm under the surveillance of detcc- Ives of his own, expressed belief .that Bergdoll's $150,000 "pot of gold" had actually existed.

In spite of the persistent and partisan attempts of Senators Reed and Pora- erene to produce evidence that the tentative plan of Harry M. Blair, for campaign fund collections and quotas in certain cities for the republican campaign was adopted, these attempts again ended in complete failure today. On the contrary, it was more fully established than ever that the quotas about which Cox, Moore ' and their aides are talking were not used, and save, that Blair proposed a plan in "form 101," which was promptly ve toed, have no existence in fact. That the democratic members of the sub-committee of the senate in vestigating committee were Imposed on with a bogus copy of the famous "form 101" when they conducted an active cross-examination of D. W. Blossom regarding the quota for Cuy ahoga county (Cleveland) Wednesday was brought out in the testimony be fore the committee today. Cox Copy Incomplete. The copy from which the examina tion was conducted purported to be a copy of "form 101." which was re jected by the republican national com mittee executives months ago, but it omitted a very important paragraph. Because of the omission an effort was made to secure tho admission from Mr. Blossom that the "sky" was the limit in campaign contributions. This at tempt got nowhere. It was not brought out Jn evidence who it was that imposed on the sena tors with the copy from which the important paragraph was missing. ine neartng dragged on at treat length today and again tonight. Lamuna fc. Moore, - personal repre sentative of Governor Cox, who failed to bring forth his much discussed evidence" earlier this week, enent much time at the elbow of Senator Reed and took such active part in coaching the Missouri senator that strenuous objections were made by some or the committee as. to his course. Ken yon Waraa Moore. While Mr. Moore was engaged in coaching, he made come verbal out breaks and was warned by Senator .enyon. Air. Moore, several davs ago on the witness stand, declared that in his home town, Toungstown, O., 872,000 had been raised, more than a month ago. F. D. Kelly, state di rector of ways and means for Ohio In charge of the details of raising money there, was on the witness stand and declared that the amount of actual casft collected was $31,350 and the total'bl pledges only $33,750, in . Mahoning county, in which Toungstown , situated. senator luape tnen read a telegram from C. H. Booth, chairman of the ways and means committee of Ma honing county, saying that he had mailed an affidavit showing the ab surdity of Moore's statement regard ing the amount raised in Tounstown. whereupon Mr. Moore waxed violent and was promptly informed by the chairman that he must cease inter rupting. Nothing was shown by the evidence of a score of witnesses today that any quota of huge turns to be raised in individual cities as charged by Governor Cox was ever adopted by the republican national committee. Hours- were consumed by the demo cratic members of the committee In fruitless endeavor to substantiate the charges of the candidate. Democratic Plans' Aired. A feature of the day's testimony was the Introduction into the evi dence of a series of letters signed by Charles Boeschenetein. democratic national committeeman from Illinois, and sent to J. H. Coffman, post master, at Augusta, 111., calling upon him for funds for the democratic campaign. One of the letters was sent, according to the method em ployed by W. D Jamieson, finance director for the democratic national committee, in soliciting from federal employes, namely, by using a special delivery letter. The envelope in this case bore rubber-stamp directions to deliver the letter to the postmaster's home. Boeschenstein was immediate ly ordered to appear before the committee.

Shields of Seattle Declares Proposal Means Savins; George McCoy Makes Denial. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Sept. 9. (Spe cial.) C. H. Shields of Seattle spoke at a meeting at Seventh and Main streets last night in favor of the Car- lyon bill, which would, if approved by the voters at the general election, bond the automobile licenses for a pe riod of years and raise a fund of $30,000,000, which would be used at once in paving more than 1500 miles of road The burden of building these roads, it was shown, would be borne by the owners of automobiles. He said that a saving of $24,000,000 would be made in gasoline, oil and tires. George McCoy, who has been in the legislature for a number of years from this county, is opposed to the bill and when Mr. Shields had fin ished he spoke against the bill. He said that he was in favor of paved roads, but that if these roads were paved there would be four times the travel on them that there is now, so that the saving of tires and gasoline would not be much. He declared the cost for each mile of paving was $34, 000 and not $20,000, as Mr. Shields said. He said the interest would amount to $12,000,000. The bill will benefit other counties at the expense of those where the roads will not be built, Mr. McCoy said. He showed that Clarke county will pay into the fund $1,500,000 and would receive in return pnly $180,000. Greek Troops Land at Ismid. CONSTANTINOPLE,' Sept. 9. (By the Associated Press.)
