SUFFRAGISTS SCORE
AGAIN AGAINST FOES
Justice Refuses Order Aimed
at Secretary Colby..
FALL ELECTION INVOLVED
If Women A'ote and Ratification
Is Illegal, Validity of Novem
ber Poll Will Be Doubtful.
WASHINGTON. Auf. 25. Anti-suffrage
forces received another set
back today when Justice Siddons of
the District of Columbia supreme
court refused to Issue a "show cause"
oraer against Secretary of State Col
by, preliminary to the Issuance of an
Injunction to restrain him from pro
claiming the nineteenth amendment
a law.
The action was brought by Charles
S. Fairchild, an official of the Ameri
can constitutional league, on behalf
of himself and the organization. No
effort would be mado to prevent is
suance of the proclamation, Alfred B.
Smith, attorney for Mr. Fairchild,
raid:
Certification la Dae.
The official certification of Ten
nessee's ratification was expected
from Nashville tonight and Secretary
Colby indicated he would Issue the
proclamation as soon as he received
this.
The campaign of the anti-suffrage
forces now will be directed in an ef
fort to obtain early action in the
United States supreme court on the
question of the validity of the Ten
nessee ratification, Mr. Smith an
nounced. The action of Justice Siddons par
alleled in a measure that of Justice
Bailey of the same court last month,
except that Justice Bailey granted a
" show cause" order against Secretary
Colby in a similar bill filed by the
same plaintiffs, but after hearing de
clined to Issue the injunction on
the grounds of lack of jurisdiction
and insufficient showing.
National Klectlon Involved.
Mr. Smith said he still hoped to
obtain a decision before the Novem
ber elections. If, however, the appeal
should be carried to the supreme
court it could not be argued until
October with little likelihood that a
decision would be reached before elec
tion day. In that event, it was pointed
out, the women of the country would
be legally entitled to vote with the
result that should the supreme court
later decide against the legality of
the Tennessee ratification, the val
idity of the entire national elections
would be questioned.
The anti-suffrage forces are also
challenging legality of ratification in
Missouri, West Virginia and Ohio.

out of a field of 11 and were de

by acclamation.
Soldiers Are Recognized.
Eloquent addresses were made for
the candidates nominated for sena
tor and particular stress was laid
on the importance of giving recog
nition to the ex-service men of the
state by nominating either Colonel
Patch or Captain Connor for senator
as a tribute to their services to the
country on the battle fronts. T. D.
Jones of Bannock county placed
Governor Davis in nomination, as
serting that he had given the state
a business administration and by in
stalling the commission form of
state government had saved the
people, despite the fact that he had
"inherited a million-dollar deficit."
"The million dollars," said the
speaker, "that Alexander promised to
save the people."

PARIS, Aug. 25, (By the Astoci

Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts
for vice-president. It deplores 'class

The effort made to defeat Miss
Ethel E. Redfield, present superin
tendent of public instruction, for re
nomination and the contest over the
judicial nomination, featured the
night session of the convention. The
skirmishes resulted In a "victory for
the north. Miss Redfield was renomi
nated over Mrs. Leona Logue of Good
ing by a vote of 75 to 68 and her
nomination was made unanimous. The
fight made against her was based on
the grounds of differences with the
land board and because she received
the indorsement of the Non-partisan
league two years ago and failed to
repudiate it. Oversmith of Latah
warned the convention against taking
from the central portion. of Idaho its
candidate for office by attempting to
defeat Miss Redfield.
There were two lively skirmishes
for judicial positions. The first of
these was between Judge Robert N.
Dunn of Coeur d'Alene, candidate for
the regular term to be made vacant
by the retirement of Chief Justice
William M. Morgan, who defeated
Frederick Randall of Lewiston by
vote of 93 to 50. The second resulted
In the nomination of William A. Lee
of Blackfoot for conditional judge over
T. Bailey Lee of Cassia by a vote of
SO to 65. Judge Charles P. McCarthy
of Boise was given the unanimous in
dorsement of the convention for the
second conditional judgeship.
Captain Daniel Banks of Caldwell
was nominated by acclamation for
state treasurer to succeed John W.
Eagleson and Stewart ' Campbell of
Hailey defeated M. Leonard of Boise
for state mine inspector by a vote of
84 to 57.
The convention closed at 10 o'clock

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 25. Gover
nor Cox's apparent determination be
ing to make the national political
campaign of 1920 a parade of alleged
scandals. Indications are that there
will be some retort in kind from the
opposition within the next few days.
Senator Harding, the republican
candidate, is a mild-mannered man
not given to bitterness and vitupera
tion. He is most of all opposed to
personal attack and,, whatever the
democratic nominee may charge in
the course of the campaign, there is
no likelihood of any recrimination
from Senator Harding. Tho republican
candidate believes that the campaign
should be fought out on the great
broad human and economic issues
which concern the nation and , the
welfare of all the people.
Silence May Be Broken.
Notwithstanding Senator Harding's
forbearance, however, it is more than
possible that some of his supporters
will decline to remain quiet much
longer under the fusillade of harsh
language and ugly accusations which
have been flowing for many Says
from the tongue of Governor Cox.
The democratic nominee, it is ap
preclateu, can make his campaign in
no other manner.
He is by nature sensational and the
success in business by which his for
tune of millions was piled up is di
rectly attributable to his skill as a
pyrotechnic publisher, an art better
known as "yellow journalism.
There is much in the Cox news
paper files and- much in tne canai-
date's record to vie daily on the first
pages of the newspapers of the coun
try with all of the unseemly things
that he is saying about the 'senate
oligarchy" and the republican party.
Newspapers friendly to Governor
Cox have with seeming pride pub
lished dispatches on numerous occa
sions telling how their presidential
candidate and-the multi-millionaire.
Colonel Edward A. Deeds, are, or
were, inseparable companions on the
Dayton golf course.
Friendtthlp Kept With Deeds.
The companionship has been con
stant since about the time that Colo
nel Deeds was turned out of office as
chief of aircraft production in the
midst of the scandals revealed early
in the war by the Hughes investigat
ing committee. It is hardly necessary
to recount the details of that scandal,
which resulted in the Hughes com
mittee recommending that Colonel
Deeds be courtmartialed.
Colonel Deeds is the center of re
newed interest now because of stories
that he has contributed heavily to the
Cox campaign fund and 's to have vin
dication from the aircraft scandals Dy
appcintment as secretary of war in
event that the democrats are success
ful. Thj question has bern put up to
Governor Cox to auswer. Colonel
Deeds, it will be recalled, was charged
vith much irregularity by the Hughes
committee. Among other thinjjs, after
he took charge of aircraft production,
it was found that he awarded some of
tne best war contracts to a large elec
trical manufacturing plant in whi-h
he was the heaviest stockholder. He
had been careful, of course, first to
transfer his stock to friendly hands.
Deeds Treated Royally.
While enlisted soldiers were being
courtmartialed and received felorus"
sentences for orienses wnich in civil
life would have been only misde
meanors, pressure was brought to
bear on the Wilson administration
not to press the charges against
Deeds. Instead of being persecuted
as was some poor homesick private
soldier who went absent without
leave because possibly of a craving
for home and mother, a big dinner
was given to Colonel Deeds at which
Secretary of War Baker made
speech.
Colonel Deeds was praised for his
failure instead of being prosecuted
and Governor cox is said to be one
'of those influential persons who put
on the pessure to save the former
aircraft chief from the humiliation
of a trial.
KepuDiican managers display no
uneasiness about the Cox campaign
fund charges. They declare they will
be able to come clean and that the
public will find in the end that the
democratic nominee has merely been
using these corruption charges . to
displace issues which he fears to
press before the voters of the country
Funds Come From Cities.
As for big business contributing to
republican campaign funds, it is
well-known fact that campaign funds
of both the leading parties invariably
have been raised among business and
professional men. Farmers, laborers
and clerks have never been asked to
contribute to any extent. Most of the
money raised for all political cam
paigns has been raised in the large
cities and not in rural communities.
The nearest to a popular subscrip
tion raised for any campaign in the
history of American politics was in
the case of Mr. Taft in 1908. The re
publican candidate has announced
that no contributions should be ac
cepted from corporations. Only indi
viduals could contribute and in many
localities the repubrican newspapers
called for subscriptions which were
published from day to day giving the
names of the donors and listing many
contributions as low as $1 and J 5.
Saloon league were present at San
Francisco. They saw what was done
to Bryan and what was done to their
dry plank. They saw the "wet" forces
gloat over the nomination of Cox.
In fact, the Anti-Saloon league
leaders were deeply shocked by the
completeness of the wet triumph at
San Francisco. Within three days
after the San Francisco convention.
ex-Representative Hobson who had
himself made a "passionate" dry
plea to the convention, sent a tele
gram to Governor Cox saying:
Dry forces are restive. National
officers of Anti-Saloon league here
have asked me to get statement from
you. They cite that Harding voted
for the Volstead act. Could you give
me clear statement of your being op
posed to federal authorization of In
creasing alcoholic content. This
would save to democracy millions of
voters who hold this question above
party success."
Telegram Sent on July 8.
This telegram was sent to Cox on
juiy . oo rar it nas not been an
swered. There is good reason to be
lieve "that the democrats have been
relying on certain members of their
party who are powerful in the Anti
Saloon league, to keep the league
from taking any action that would do
harm to Cox. On the other hand, 'the
republicans among the Anti-Saloon
leaders have been trying to persuade
the organization to be friendly to
Harding. The end of this pulling and
hauling within Anti-SaJoon circles
has been a compromise on the plan
of merely printing- the records of two
men, and letting those records speak
for themselves. These records will
be out in a few days.
Meantime it is entirely safe to say
that before the end of the campaign
Harding, whether it helps or hurts
him in Ohio, will be identified with
the "drys and will get both the ad
vantages and the disadvantages of
that position, while Cox will be
identified with the wets, and will ge,t
both the advantages and disadvan
teges of that position.
Wet Organ Against Harding?.
On this point there is already evi
dence from those newspapers and
propaganda organs which are the
official representatives of the "wet"
forces. One of these national bever
age Journals "devoted to the interests
of drinks, eats, smokes" in one of
its issues last month carried on its
first page a photograph of Cox over
the caption, "The Next President of
the United States." In the same issue
this liquor Journal paid Its respects j
to Harding in these words: "Harding
and Coolidge seem to be a. pretty dry
crowd if all that Is said about them
be true, and we think it is Harding's
record in Ohio has always been dry.
When he ran for governor we made a
strong organized fight against him
and Judson Harmon, our candidate
defeated him by a large majority.
Harding is dry all over, so much
for Jellyfish Harding:."
This would seem to be picturesque
evidence from a highly competent
witness as to Harding's dryness.
Kin Id Boost Given Cox.
In the same way the wetness of
Cox is certified by another of these
liquor organs, which calls itself
Justice, Official organ of the retail
and wholesale liquor interests of New
Jersey."
This paper, in one of Us July Issues,
carries several articles under char
acteristic headlines. One headline
speaks of "Cox's big 'wet' victory.
Another says, 'Bryan the barnacle,
badly beaten." Still another headline
says "Organized trade ready for the
big fight." " '
This paper's article on the cam
paign reads in part:
The nomination of Governor James
M. Cox of Ohio by the democrats for
their candidate for president is an
out-and-out victory for the liberty
loving people of the country who are
termed the "wets. His election to
the presidency of the United States
will be the crowning victory of the
people's war against prohibition.
Governor Cox is the enemy of prohi
bition. He is opposed to its un
American principle. Governor Cox
won in spite of - the Anti-Saloon
league and its menacing influence
he can be counted on to use his influ
ence when elected to amend the Vol
stead law' so as to permit the manu
facture and sale of beer and light
wines and lead the fight to remove
the 18th amendment from the constitution."
Candidates Must Clarify Issue.
Tour correspondent's attention was
drawn to these liquor organizations
by a prohibition organization which
has had photographic reproductions
made of the articles I have quoted
from and is about to circulate them
in the campaign. Of course it would
not be fair to Harding or Cox to ac
cept as necessarily accurate the de
scriptions of their views given by
these wholly unauthorized papers.
But what is clear is that neither Cox
nor Harding can afford to let this
sort of Irresponsible statement of
their views be widely distributed as
campaign literature without them
selves statins just what their posi
tions are.

Decrease Believed to Stimulate
Movement by Water, Increase
Transportation Facilities.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. Repre
sentatives of railroads serving the
western grain districts joining with
grain shlpers were understood last
night to be prepared to ask' the inter
state commerce commission to permit
lower rates on grain from the great
lakes going by rail from Buffalo to
the eastern seaboard.
Such a decrease, railroad officials
believe, would stimulate movement of
grain across the lakes and thereby
furnish Increased transportation fa
cilities for the year's crop. The "re
quest is expected to be laid before
the commission within a few days.
Railroad officials here said tonight
would be the first time in the
of American railroading that
riers ever had asked for lower
rates in order to develop water trans
portation. : The interstate commerce commis
sion recently was asked by a dele
gation from middle-western states
headed by Governor Harding of Iowa
to aid in every way possible the
movement of grain and if possible to
take steps to increase facilities of
the lakes.
