Eleven Speeches Delivered. COLUMBUS. O., Oct. 14. Severe ar raignment of forces which he Baid were supporting Senator Harding', his republican opoonent, was made by Governor Cox here tonight in an ad dress at the state fair grounds coli seum, closing a strenuous day of campaigning in his home state. "The candidate of the senatorial ring has behind him today the most motley array of questionable groups and influences that ever were behind a candidate an array that to survey brings the crimson blush of humilia tion to an American," the democratic presidential candidate declared. More than a dozen "parties," includ ing the "pro-German," the "Afro American." the "anti-league of na tions," the "profiteer," the "liberty bond speculators" and other alleged groups, are backing Senator Harding, the governor asserted. Emphasizing that special racial group appeals were being made. Governor Cox said that the Afro-American movement in cludes "false claims that it can bring social equality." Artful Dodcing Charged. "From the front porch at Marion something has been given to every one of these groups," the governor said, declaring that the primal object was to "evade the issue of the league," by promoting minor and extraneous is sues. The governor's address tonight was to a crowd which filled the largest forum in the state capital. It was the 11th speech of an exhausting day in Ohio for the governor on his first full day of home heath campaigning. Ohioans at Van Wert, Delphos, Lima. Wapakoneta, Sidney, Urbana and Miiford Center turned out in force with bands, including the cele brated "Cox band" which performed at the San Francisco convention. Day Programme Tough. The governor was cheered, hustled and squeezed all day into theaters, halls and courthouse square rostrums. So strenuous was the day's programme that tonight he telegraphed a protest to Senator Harrison, chairman of the national democratic speakers' commit tee, and demanded less exacting future programmes " Tho league continued virtually the sole subject of the governor's ad dresses. He told audiences that it was "a sacred and spiritual" issue and that he was "preaching the creed of Christ" as against "the creed of Cain." The league, he said, was "as divinely Inspired as the Declaration of Inde pendence. He also charged that "a sen atorial oligarchy cons-piracy" was di rected at world peace and denounced Senator Lodge of Massachusetts as the "basest con.spirator in the history of the human race." Boys at Wapakoneta, bearing large lithographs of Senator Harding and shouting for the senator caused Gov ernor Cox to declare that he had dis covered a new "contemptible" plan of the opposition. Toldby local demo crats that the boys were hired by re publican leaders. Governor Cox ques tioned one boy who kept unfurling' a Harding poster in a theater aisle directly before the governor. Asked by Governor Cox who had "hired or told" him to flaunt the poster, the boy replied "nobody." Corruption Again t'hargrd. "You go home and tell your mother that you didn't tell the truth," the governor replied. "There is a great deal of money being used in the cam paign and one of the peculiar uses is what we have noticed. In the last two days when we started, our meetings, one boy or a group of boys, will stand out in front of the speaker and unfurl the lithograph of the opposition can didate. Now that boy was paid to do it." Governor Cox said he would not per mit the incident to disturb him and said that "every trick they have tried to play has resolved itself in our favor." At Van Wert, commenting upon former President Taft's recent state ment that Governor Cox still would leave sufficient anti-league senators to defeat the treaty, the governor said that it indicated an intention to over ride the", nation's mandate. His election and a "great victory for world civilization" were predicted confidently by the governor. Express ing pleasure at being "at home again" in Ohio, the governor said that his crowds indicated that the "wave" of sentiment begun two weeks ago was "sweeping the country." FIliCT COX, McADOO'S PLEA America Must Knter League, Says l'Vrmer Secretary. CLEVELAND. Oct. 14. A repub lican victory at the polls next month means rejection of the league of na tions and the isolation of the United States, conscription for raising and maintaining a large army and navy. and a big increase in taxes, William G. McAdoo. former secretary of the treasury, declared in an address to night. He advocated this country's entry Into the league, .stressing what he de scribed as the league's effect on world finance and economy. He said that the national debts of the chief belligerents of the war. including the United States, had been estimated at J238.50O.OOO.O0O. "Staying out of the league and playing a lone hand means that we cannot reduce the burdens of taxa tion." he declared. "It will also mean universal military training, which a disguise or soothing term for what is unpopularly known as conscrip tion. We were justified in adopting conscription as a war measure. "It is an interesting fact that Sena tor Harding has declared himself 'i believer in universal and compulsory service, ofttimes referred to as con scription." "The nations of Europe owe the American people more than $10,000. 000.000 for money loaned to and in prosecuting the war against the cen tral powers. In a recent speech Sena tor Harding intimated that he would rather see this debt cancelel, or for give our foreign debtors, than allow them to work it out through ex changes of goods and commodities. "He suggests an increase In the tariff to such a high point that Europe would not only be unable to pay the debt, but by practically stop ping importation would make It Im possible, for her to buy our surplus products. "This would he a policy of the ut most stupidity, so far as the Interests of the American people are concerned. Cox Is of Presidential Caliber, De clares Secretary. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 14. Governor Cox was described, as a "progressive in preference and achievement" and Senator Harding as having drifted "out Into the sea of opportunism un charted by principle or high pur pose," in a speech tonight by Sec retary Colby. "James M. Cox is essentially of presidential caliber." said Mr. Colby. "He measures up to the full require ments of these extraordinary times. I predict he will be your president, and he deserves to be." Turning his attention to the re publican nominee, he said: "There is not a man like Taft or Wickersham or Strauss or Lowell; there is not a man who can harbor any illusions as to Mr. Harding. Some of these unfortunate republicans had felt that it was all right for Mr. Harding to get elected by Insincere subservience to the political rustlers of the Borah-Johnson type, and they hoped that only after he was elected would Borah and Johnson become acquainted with the full measure of Harding's betrayal of them and then it would be too late for them to im peril republican success at the polls. "Harding could then say: All I ever opposed was the Wilson league, but 1 am in favor of the Harding league, and with a little transposi tion, my sincere friend Taft could find that we were coming into the society of nations by the rear gate, not like guests through the main en trance, but like flunkies through the alley. Mr. Harding's late utterances strike down this weak anticipation of the republicans who favor the league. He surrendered unconditionally to the aggressive hecklers of Iowa. He is opposed to any league." Commercialism Held Menace to Playgrounds. POWER PERMITS OPPOSED MORRIS DEATH PROBED ALLEGED . PORTLAND COITSLN TO BE INVESTIGATED. Wife Calls on Fraternal Order to Aid iVi Hunt for Man Re ported Drowned. MEDFORD, Or., Oct. 14. (Special.) It developed today ihat t was local officials of a fraternal order who have requested Portland police to look up the identity of the man claiming to be a cousin of Joseph H. Morris. supposedly drowned, who wired to Mrs. Morris this week that he had just arrived from Japan with out clothes and money and asking that she send him $25. There has always been much skep ticism of Morris drowning, and Mrs. Morris at once consulted local of ficials of the fraternal order, in which Morris carried J1000 insurance, thinking that the sender of the tel egram might be her supposed dead husband. Mystery surrounds the disappear ance of Morris who was a cook at the Westerlund orchards, had a wife and two children, congenial family life and good reputation, over two months ago while fishing in the Kogue river. His hat. coat and fish ing pole were found on the ledge from which he had been fishing, but weeks of dragging and dynamiting the' river failed to find the body.

Legislation Guaranteeing Preserva tion of People's Rights Urged at Eastern Convention. AMHERST. Mass., Oct. 14. The fed eral waterpower control commission has agreed to refuse any application for power permits in existing national parks until congress has full oppor tunity to pass upon the entire ques tion of power development within such parks, J. Horace McFarland of Harrlsburg. Pi., president of the American Civic association, announced today at the opening session of the 16th annual convention of that or ganization. Mr. McFarland also announced that Senator Jones of Washington had promised Secretary of the Interior Payne, a member of the waterpower commission, to Introduce a bill with drawing the national parks and mon uments from the provisions or the federal waterpower act and to urge its early passage. "The waterpower people now have the right." said Mr. McFarland, "to file claims on every drop of falling water in any federal reservation, be it park, monument, forest or even cemetery. Parka Held Imperiled. 'The national parks now are in im minent peril. The irrigationists want to dam Yellowstone lake in Yellow stone National park. They want to use Heart lake, Lewis lake and Sho shone lake in the same park. They have pushed through the senate and have in the house a bill permitting de struction of Falls river basin. They have already ruined forever the won derful Jackson lake outside the park. "These folks control senators and representatives, some of whom threat en to block all applications, all road building, all developments in the parks for your benefit, if their clients are- not given first use." The convention session was given over to a discussion of the national parks. Stephen T. Mather, director of the national parks, laid particular stress on the Increase of visitors to the national parks this year. National Policy I rged. , Colonel William B. Greeley, chief forester of the United States forest service, discussed the national for ests with particular reference to a definite national policy for the devel opment of the national forests and the national parks. Mr. Mcrarlands announcement of the policy of the water power com mission relative to national parks was supplemented by Secretary Payne, who in a letter read to the convention expressed the belief that the people of the United States would Insist that the national parks "be permanently preserved free from every form of commercialism." "No other country has such won derful national parks as the United States," Mr. Payne declared in his letter. "To persons who know these parks and consider their value to health, recreation and pleasure it would seem that all our people would insist that they should be perma nently preserved from every form of commercialism. VtHIty Plea Answered. "The argument of utility should not be entertained, and indeed can nearly always be answered by the plain statement that the water that is potight for reclamation and power True Shoe Economy!

"In the case of the proposition to dam the Yellowstone river at the mouth of Yellowstone lake this is strikingly true because the volume of water at the mouth of the lake is less than half of the volume of the water outside the park, and the only argu ment I have heard in favor of placing the dam within the park Is that it would be cheaper, an argument which should not for a moment be entertained." LAUNDRY GERM KILLER Cleaning; Process Proves Too Much for Disease Carriers. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 14. Laun dries in the United States have proved their cleanliness by taking articles of clothing inoculated with disease germs and putting them through the usual laundry process, reinforced with disease - killing chemicals which have been indorsed by the United States public health service.
