a THE MORNING OREG ONI AN. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 16, 1920 LEAGUE TD WOMEN Conscience Should Not Be Checked at Geneva, He Says. COX HELD RIDICULOUS and Peter A. Waller -were opponents for the senatorial nomination. Dr. Tlillis 'Declares Ttevnlsion Is Setting In and Tide Is Turn- . Ing to Republicans. MARION, O.. Sept. 15. Senator Harding. urKing- the adoption of a new proposal for prevention of war instead of the league of nations, in a message today to republican wo men's organizations and women's Harding and Coolidge clubs, asked that we "preserve our own national conscience at home and not check it at Geneva." The message, which was addressed to 'Mrs. Ray K. Zucker, president of the Women's Harding and .Coolidge club of New York city, and sent to all women's organizations, also as serted that "American women must realize that the league of nations as presented by a democratic adminis tration would not mean peace for us. but would mean American boys living In army tents overseas and asked to die in causes in which they would have no heart." Women to Hear Views Later. The message was Intended to set forth to women voters the conditions of the United States on their entrance Into politics, why they should enrol! in the republican party, and a brief outline of the party's position on the league of nations. Senator Harding said he expects in the near future to make a comprehensive discussion of the league from the women's view point, in a front-porch speech. Before leaving for Columbus to play golf today, Senator Harding con ferred with Dr. Newell Dwight Hillts, pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn. Dr. Hillis later gave out a statement in which he said that "possibly one reason why the tide is ebbing away from the party in power." is be cause "the people think that Gov ernor Cox illustrates the law of arith metical progression." , Cox Charge I.aached At. Beginning. he said, with the "charges that the republicans were spending $8,000,000 rn buying the presidency, he jumped to $r5,000.000 and yesterday to $30,000,000 and soon probably, in the spirit of progres sion, will have the republicans spend ing the tbtal annual income of the nation as a corruption fund, and the next week he will have us borrow ing money from Germany. Sidney Smith once said concerning certain fables that a superstition was dead whenever 'the people begin to laugb at it.' "Why is the tide running so strong ly toward Senator Harding? The serious note in the senator's think ing; his atmosphere of self restraint; the serenity of a man conscious of his reserves; his generous judgments ot those who differ with him; the total absence of any bitterness in any word ol any speech; his spirit of kindness; his good will, his big, broad Amer icanism! his constant use of the words 'back to the constitution." "The way in which he restrains his friends with the words 'remember that this is a government of law and not of men." the earnestness with which he uttered the words this morning: " 'My primary purpose in these speeches is the buildins of American manhood and strengthening of Amer ican institutions, my secondary am bition is to be president of the United States. But I would a thousand times rather lose the presidency and be conscious that I have done some thing for American manhood and American institutions than gain the presidency through any word or deed that might weaken faith at home or abroad in our free institutions, or in Jure the quality of American man hood all that has convinced the American people that at last there is a man that is equal to and in a sense bigger than any office whatsoever."

I --lit Critics of Pact Said to Have Failed to Offer Substitute Utah's Welcome Lusty One. SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Sept. 15 Plans for a" International court, under the league of nations, as re ported from Paris, were advanced by Governor Cox of Ohio in his Utah campaign today as a; telling argu ment for the league. They further confound Senator Harding and other republican opponents, the democratic presidential .candidate declared, in n address here tonight in the great Mormon tabernacle, and earlier today at Ogden. Reiterating' that the republican league critics had failed to. offer any substitute and had expected that Elihu Root would bring forth a new plan. Governor Cox made the follow ing statement on the renprted court outline: 'Today we learn that the commis sion, of which Mr. Root is a member, has made Its report, establishing a world court 'for the adjudication of questions according to rules of law. We find, however, that, this court is a part of the league covenant; that Mr. Root and his colleagues were ap pointed by the council of the league; hat they made their report to the council of the league and this report is now to be submitted to the va rious members of the league. Further more, it appears that the judges of the court are to be chosen by the council and the . assembly of the league and their salaries are to be paid by the league. Court Feature of Ltrntne. It is apparent, therefore, that this court of international justice, which Mr. Harding hoped would be a sub stitute for the league of nations, now appears as an essential part of the league and one which, without the league, would have no standing whatever. "This limb having been cut off. Mr. Harding sitting on the end, we may confidently look forward to another frantic effort from Marion in an at tempt to confuse the public and to keep both Senator Johnson, who is against any kind of a league, and Elihu Root, who is not only for the league, but has performed valiant service for the existing league, for the party candidate." The league and progresslvism were the backbone of all of Governor Cox's addresses today. He delivered five, beginning early this morning at Poca tello, Idaho, with later addresses at Logan and Brigham, Utah, en route to Ogden and Salt Lake City. UtahH Welcome Laaty One. A demonstrative welcome was en joyed by the candidate ail through Utah. Brass bands serenaded, auto mobile parades, shotgun salutes and participation In an annual peach day" celebration at Brigham, Includ ing being photographed witli a bevy of girls labeled "Prize Peaches." were features of the governor's receptions. A dinner here tonight given by local democrats, a mass meeting and parade to the tabernacle and the governor s address closed the candidate's Utah campaign. He left late tonight .to speak tomorrow at .lko. Sparks. Winnemucca, Lovelock and Reno. Nev., en route to Californla. 'Progress and peace" were the principal preachments of the gov ernor. He also assailed the "sena torial oligarchy" and "big business," and repeated attacks upon republican campaign contributions. "Every ounce of big business Is be ing used to defeat me," he told his Brigham audience, to which be was introduced by Mayor Peters. Party Control Denounced. " That the "same crowd" of repub lican leaders which former President Roosevelt fought in 1912 now is in control of the republican' party was stated to every Utah audience by the governor, in stressing that he stood for progress rather than reaction and characterizing Senator Harding as a candidate of reaction. That the senator had changed front frequently on the league issue was reiterated by the governor. He also declared that Senator Harding was summoned before the senate oil rSf- ..e inl li Will YOU Profit by the Experience of the H. K. Mulford Company? v The H. K.

That a new senator would De elected from Utah, where Senator Smoot, re publican, is seeking re-election, was a statement of the governor's which brought cheers from several audiences. Wilson Held Persecuted. The candidate also assailed the re publican, senators who, he said, had "driven the president into a bed of sickness and kept him there a year and a half. In discussing the league and the In ternational court. Governor Cox again compared the league to the Monroe Doctrine, and added. not a single shot has been fired in a hundred years" to maintain the latter. Moral force is the power of the league, he said. Men who discuss a substitute for the league, the governor asserted, "don't know what they are talking about." In championing the league, the governor again declared it was a matter of "keeping, faith" with Amer ican boys, who, he said, fought to pre vent future wars. League critics, the governor Bald, had not come forward with a single thing to take its place. His plea to "vote to end the war" was applauded, as was his pledge to use money saved by disarmament in reclaiming arid lands. Today was Governor Cox's third wedding anniversary. He sent Mrs. Cox a telegram. 2 SAILORS SELL COGNAC Quart Diluted With Water Goes Fast at $5 a Quart, Say Police.
