DATTOX, O., July 9. That the
west may be developed into one of the
.chief battle grounds early in- the
national political campaign was the
inference- drawn from today's de
velopments here.
Governor James M. Cox, democratic
candidate for president, stated that
many requests that he open the cam
, paign in the wejit have been received,
and in his talk with newspapermen,
he loft the impression that he was
Interested in an early invasion of the
west, if not in fact favorable to it. lie
stated, however, that campaign ar
rangements are In the hands of the
national committee and that he could
suy nothing definite until he has
conferred with the committee.
W. W. Blaine, president of Corn
. Talace, Mitchell, S. D.. headed a dele
. cation that called on the governor
today urging him to accept an Invita
tion to apeak, at the festival to be
held September 27 'to October 7.
Charles E. Morris, the governor's
private eecretary, telegraphed from
Ban Francisco, he was being besieged
by California delegations urging that
the campaign be opened there. Mr.
(Morris told the governor that Cali
. fornia democrats are certain they can
.carry the state for him.
JVo Mnnagrrr Indicated.
Governor Cox has given no intima
tion as to whom he wants for cam
paign manager. It is known, however,
that many of his friends are urging
the selection of E. H.. Mpqre . oj
Youngstown, 6., the governor's p're
convention campaign manager.
Inasmuch as Ohio is to be the chief
battle ground in the campaign, both
candidates being from the state, come
of the governor's friends say it is
imperative that a manager be chosen
who ia thoroughly acquainted) with
political conditions in the state. They
admit that Homer S. Cummings,
chairman of the national- committee,
would be a good man for the job,
but because of the . expacted battle
in the Buckeye state, they feel that
Mr. Moore is tho logical, ipan
The governor declared a half holi
day in politics yesterday, and spent
the afternoon at his old home near
Jacksonburg. SO miles south of Day
ton. A score of. newspapermen and
cameramen found him in a grass
covered ravine roasting potatoes and
broiling lamb chops over a camp fire.
He personally served his hungry
guests and spent part of the after
noon in the shade of a big willow
tree answering questions about farm
ing. He conducted the news writers
about his estate, showing them ev
erything interesting about his old
home.
Conference la Intimated.
The governor has intimated that
ho may go to Washington in the near
future for a conference with Presi
dent Wilson.
It is known that he has held a
number of conversations over the
telephone with Secretary Tumulty
during the past few days.
The first important conference to
arrange democratic party campaign
plans will be held here Tuesday, July
20. according to a telegram received
by Governor Cox from Chairman
Cummings. Mr. Cummings' telegram
stated that he has called a meeting
of the entire national committee for
that date to confer with the gov
ernor. Governor Cox stated, however, that
lie was not definitely certain whether
the conference will be held here or
In Columbus.
Committee to Meet.
Mr. Cummings' telegram notifying
tho governor of the proposed con
ference follows:
"After consultation with Moore (E.
H. Moore, national committeeman for
Ohio and manager of tho governor's
pie-convention campaign), and others,
I have called a meeting of the demo
cratic national committee to assem
ble at the Hotel Miami, Dayton, at
II o'clock in the forenoon of Tues
day, July 20. This will enable us
to proceed in a body to Trail's End

your wishes or whether you have any
modifications to suggest. "Wire me

Governor Cox indicated that the ar
rangements were perfectly satisfac
tory to him and that he would so
advise Chairman Cummings. He
stated that his personal campaign
headquarters will be in Columbus. He
would not comment on reports that
national headquarters may be es
tablished there. "That is a matter
for the national committee to deter

SEA' LIONS GREAT PERIL
W
iving Alexander or ureece
recently went to Paris to spend
the early summer days with
his morganatic wife. Mile. Manos, an.1
at. the same time dented any inten
tion of abdicating his throne because
le had married a woman who was
not a princess, "all the world" started
to discuss the new historical love
affair.
The world Is asking itself whether
Greece will recognize Mile. Manos as
its queen. King Alexander argues
that it should. He eays that, as Mile.
Manos is the daughter of an old Gre
cian family, she is better acquainted
with the conditions of the country
than any strange princess would be
and that no logical reason exists as
to why the crown should be withheld
from his bride.
Strong as his argument sounds, his
tory reveals the fact that so far
events have been different. Only one
ruler has ever succeeded in sharing
his throne with a morganatic mate.
That was Napoleon HI, whose mar
riage to Eugenie de Montijo, countess
of Teba, was celebrated with as much
pomp- and splendour as though she
had been born to the purple. Eugenie
rode to the cathedral in a coach of
glass and gold and won even the hos
tile prime minister to her side by
her charming manner.
But things were different with Na
poleon III. He did not come from an
ancient lineage as does the king of
Greece and his plebian ancestry
caused the reigning royalty of that
time to regard him as a questionable
match for their daughters. It was
small wonder that Napoleon told the
senate and legislature, when he an
nounced his engagement to Eugenie,
tnat he preferred for a wife a wom
an he loved and respected rather than
one who was unknown to him."
And so, the world is asking, will
the marriage between Alexander and
Mile. Manos prove binding, or will
the king of Greece forsake the sweet
heart of, his childhood, deolare the
ceremony performed at the home of
the bride in Athens last November to
be null and void, and choose a prin
cess of the blood to occupy his throne
with him?
Alexander is the second son of
King Constantine and Queen Sophia.
Ha succeeded his father in 1917 when
Constantine and his eldest son were
forced to abdicate and retire to Swit
Kerland. And now Alexander insists
in keeping his bride, and in a procla
mation to his subjects has demanded
that she be recognized as queen.
Colonel Manos, father of Alexan
der's sweetheart, had charge of the
royal stables and the girl and boy not
only played together as children, but
continued their friendship when they
were grown. Almost daily they were

CAMP LEWIS, Wash.. July 9.
(Special.) The Oregon artillerymen
passed the afternoon firing on canvas
targets on the artillery range here
today. After the 60th shrapnel burst,
new targets had to be set up, as the
old ones had been completely shat
tered. The targets represented Ger
man machine gun nests. The rifles
later were trained on an oak thicket
at a range of a mile and a half and
the thicket was considerably torn up
at the end of the firing. Three-Inch
rules were used. The rules were
manned by the men from Newport
Murshfleld and Ashland. The 5th Or
egon infantry at the same time was
being instructed in forming battle
lines and fighting in the open. The
entire day was given over to instruc
tion work. Maneuvers are scheduled
for next week. The 2d battalion, com
manded by Major J. A. Drake, paraded
in the evening.
The men will have a rest tomorrow
afternoon and Sunday. Leaves will
be granted over Sunday and two
thirds of the command will be permit
ted to visit Puget sound cities. The
others will be permitted to leave
later. There is no sickness.

Answer Is Given to Dr. Hornaday's
Plan for Determinating Wild
Beasts of Far Xorth.
BY THOMAS B. DRAYTON.
SEWARD, Alaska, July 2 (Special.)
Dr. William T. Hornaday's published
suggestion that each Alaska citizen
sally forth annually and slay three
brown bear to reduce the greatest
danger to life in. this territory, is
worthy of his answer in other respects
to the unanswerable facts concerning
the perpetual menace of these beasts.
For the benefit of the naturalist
and his following, both in congress
and out, it may be explained by an
experienced bear hunter that these
animals are not staked out in segre
gations of three awaiting the pro
posed killing. They are entirely free
and seem to be obsessed of a .desire
to retain their freedom that Is sec
ond only to their willingness to re
strain the freedom of their human
pursuers.
Instead of quietly waiting to be
killed when they think a killing is in
order, they generally approach the
hunter from a bunch of alders or
other heavy cover and come with a
rush that would at times bo discon
certing to any save those intrepid
portsmen whose wilderness feats of
fearless daring are said to be mostly
conceived and executed within the
confines of sportsmen's city clubs, or
whose desperately won trophies fall
to the shot of a professional guide
whose high pay guarantees his subse
quent silence.
Quirk Judgment Necennary.
As Dr. Hornaday knows, as well
anybody, a city club environment
is more conducive to calm and studied
judgment than one in which the actor
must decide and act quickly and wisely
or lose his life. And, amazing as it
is to an Alaskan, such an environ
ment as is found In the directorship
of the organization Dr. Hornaday
dominates seems not inconsistent with
epithets borrowed from the gutter
when occasion arises to answer un
answerable facts.
Dr. Hornaday's published response
to the recently published brown bear
facts, being limited to an impugnment
of both the integrity and veracity of
the writer, it may be illuminating to
provoke an equally disengenous de
fense of that other object of his so
licitous affection and of the Alas
kan's violent antipathy, the sea lion.
Almost within sight of where this is i
written mere is a vast nera or sea
ions, variously estimated at from 10,-
000 to 60,000. They live on fish, as a
distinguished naturalist ought to
know and in feeding take but one
bite from each fish they kill. As these
monsters frequently attain a weight
of from 3000 to 3600 pounds it seems
not improbable that the claim of ex
perienced and observant fishermen is
true, that each sea lion will account
for the destruction of a minimum
average of 50 pounds of edible fish
daily. This would make up a startling
aggregate of fish destruction, and re
lates to but a single herd of sea lions.
Sea Mon Utterly VortIilex.
Since the American people have
fallen into the merciless hands of ex
tortioners, it may not be improper to
recall that fish is an immensely val
uable food for men and ivomen and
children, while sea lions are utterly
worthless for all purposes save only
the highly problematical value of their
hides for tanning and the "sport" it
affords an occasional wealthy sup
porter of Dr. Hornaday's conserva
tion thoeries to kill two of these
"game animals" annually.
At the risk of horrifying Dr. Horn
aday and his fellow clubmen and so
called conservationists, it may be Eaid
that if it were not unlawful any
Alaskan would gladly subscribe to a
fund to mine and blast the great sea
lion rookeries while they are covered
with countless thousands of the im
mensely destructive and utterly use
less creatures. And in doing so he
would have no more thought of "com
mercial exploitation" than he has
when he demands that the protection
law be repealed and the brown bear
be destroyed in order that his flocks
may not be decimated and that his
children may piny In safety.

Protesting Innocence of Death
of Armour.
SANTA FE, N. M.. July .9. Elbert
W. Blancett, convicted of the murder
of Clyde D. Armour, went to his death
calmly and stiil protesting his inno
cence. The gallows trap was sprung
at 5:22 A. M., but Blancett's neck was
not broken by the fall. He was un
conscious, but it was ten minutes
before he was pronounced dead.
Blancett was convicted of the mur
der of Armour on October 23, 1916,
while the two were on a motor trip
from Denver to the Pacific coast.
In a last message to his attorney
Blancett said:
"There is no other story to tell.
I told the truth on the witness stand.
I am going before my maker. What
I told the court was the truth and I
have nothing else to say. Good-bye."
Rov. H. Gul'leu, prison chaplain
sent the following telegram last night
to Governor Larrazolo at Las Vegas
I.i my opinion there is serious
doubt that justice has been done
Blancett. I think eleventh-hour clem
ency can properly be extended. His
character has be n grossly misrepre
sented, for there is no degeneracy in
him. The doubts have been persist
ently decided against him under most
reprehensible surroundings and I am
told in the face of the common rules.
Please give him the benefit of the
doutt as tomorrow may be too late."
The governor replied:
"I have studio. 1 this case conscien
tiously and religiously. I am sorry,
but let justice take its course. God
save Blancett and forgive him."
