COX HOPES TO FIND
WEST FOR LEAGUE
Wilson Covenant Believed
Still to Be Popular.
EAST, MID-WEST OPPOSED
Democrats' Nominee Turns to Mud
fclingtng to Becloud Issues When.
Pact Opposition Is Learned.
CHICAGO, Sept. 7. (Special Corres
pondence.) As Governor Cox starts
his western attack in the hope of
ho'ding the west in line with the solid
south, it is Interesting to note the
political atmosphere of the east and
middle west. j
At the outset it is well to point out
a few- well known facts: Cox was
forced to abandon the "wets" because
he saw that this proposition was not
getting him anywhere and was ab
solutely destroying him in the far
west; he then took up the league of
nations, and finding that the "Wilson
league" was not quite so popular in
this section as he had no doubt be
lieved it to be, he sought to cloud the
issue by base charges of corrupt cam
paign funds. This bubble has been
hopelessly "busted," and what his
next, jump will be, no one can sur
mise. It is believed that as he in
vades the Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast states he will have much to say
about the league, for it is the general
impression throughout the east and
middle west that the west is still for
the Wilson league. Governor Cox is
due for an awakening in this respect,
or else the writer is wholly in error
1 ii his understanding of the temper
ment of the west.
League Opposition Greater.
The people of the east and middle
mest were against the league a year
ago, and if such be possible, they are
more against it now than they were
then. Senator Harding's able speech
upon this subject has done more to
consolidate the opposition to the Wilt-on
plan than any other one thing.
The republican candidate, after point
ing out the fallacy of the Wilson
pian, proposed something construc
tive, and it is around this construc
tive idea that the forces opposed to
the "Joining of our fortunes with the
fortunes of men everywhere" are ral
lying. The American people are not
ready to "make the supreme sacrifice"
as- called for by the president in ad
vocating his impossible super-government
under the catching title of "the
league of nations," but they are ready
tc join in any world movement for the
promotion of universal peace which
promises some degree of success and
which does not amount to a sacrifice
of American sovereignty. Senator
Harding has proposed such a scheme
and is being assisted no doubt by the
wise counsel and statesmanship of the
great American, Klihu Root.
The Wilson league is fundamental
ly wrong; it is based upon the wrong
conception of a successful govern
ment. It is based upon the idea of
forco and might; it keeps before us
the dangerous and erroneous ideal of
"might is right," the very principle
we went to war to destroy. The Hard
ing plan calls for an association
based upon law, and respect for law,
thft only sort of association or agree
ment that will stand the test of time.
Our own government is an illustra
tion. Its success lies in the fact that
it is based upon law and a respect for
law, and not upon force; the states
are held together because of the con
stitution of the United States which
la the supreme law of the land, and
the respect that the citizens of the
country have for that constitution. A
codification of international law, a
tribunal free from political influence
in which that law may be interpreted
and applied, .and sufficient force to
enforce the decrees of that court is
the only sort of a system that prom
ires durability. Senator Harding's
recent speech has done much to clari
fy the atmosphere upon this problem,
and has been the means of creating
throughout this section hearty en
thusiasm in his candidacy.
C'hargec Prove Boo me ran sr.
Hence there is but little question
that Governor Cox starts his western
tour with the knowledge that the
east and middle west is against him
upon his advocacy of the Wilson
league. What he says upon this ques
tion In the' west will no doubt be said
in the hope that the people of the
west have not yet undergone the
change' in sentiment that marks the
people of the east and middle west.
From a republican standpoint, con
ditions are exceptionally good in the
charges of "unlawful campaign ex
penditures" have proven a boomer
ang to his candidacy. His total fail
ure to produce any evidence sustain
ing his charges; hi3 reckless disre
gard of the truth in a number of in
stances, and his apparent attempt to
take the minds of the people off the
real live issues of the campaign by
indulging in petty mud-slinging, has
had the effect in this secetion of im
pressing upon him the character of
a "demagogue." The people are not
interested in the question whether
the republicans are going to spend
one million or one hundred million in
legitimate campaigning, but they do
want to know whether we are to be
made a part of the great super-gov
eminent proposea py tho Wilson
league plan; they "want to know what
lr going to be done for the agricul
tural interests of America; they want
some enlightenment upon the pro
posals for the effective destruction of
profiteering; they want to know
whether this government Is to be re
turned to a constitutional form of
government or is autocracy to con
tinue; it is a vital question to them
whether we are to have any more in
stances of "government by force."
and whether we are to continue sec
tional legislation and the recognition
ot "classes" In our governmental af-f-irs.
Democrat Levy AHarsament.
The people realize that if the re
publicans raise and expend more
money in the campaign than the
democrats, it is simply because there
are more people sufficiently inter
ested in republican success in excess
of the number interested in democra
tic success, to contribute the funds
necessary to make such a campaign.
The republican contributions have
come from the rank and file of the
republican party, very - largely in
small amounts; the republican party
does not have a big federal machine
composed of office holders upon which
it can levy an assessment for cam
paign purposes, as the democrats
have done In asking a payment of 3
per cent of the salary received by
Iowa postmasters. This "campaign
expenditure" bubble is all "bunk" and
it is so treated here. It is an at
tempt to cloud the issue and is an
appeal to the passions and prejudices
of the people, the weapon of the dema
gogue and "soap-box orator." There
is too much unrest in the country to
day, and this is no time for stirring
tiaa passions of the people; we need
someone to sit on the lid and hold
things down awhile.
This is the general trend of thought
and expression of sentiment by the
people of all classes in this great
territory east of the Mississippi. The
writer has traveled in North Dakota,
South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illi
nois and Ohio, and has -taken occasion
to discuss these various problems with
farmers, business men, laboring men,
and women of all classes.
It is no doubt true that quite a
body of the organized labor element
will support the democratic ticket,
particularly that portion led by Sam
uel Gompers. This element has had
much in the way of favored action and
class legislation at the hands of the
present administration, and Gompers
himself has more or less been a
"Colonel House" in the affairs of
state. But U might be interesting to
! know just what portion of this vote
was ever republican. This fact need
give no one interested in republican
success much alarm, for a great body
or labor is going to vote the republi
cal ticket. For Instance, that great
body of labor made up of citizens in
terested in Irish freedom. Can it be
figured that they are going to vote
for Cox and the league of nations?
In speaking of the vote of any one
class, we must always take into con
sideration the many cross-currents
which actually exist.
Hearst Influence to Be Kelt.
Another element that will wield no
small influence-upon a certain portion
of the vote of the country is the
Hearst newspapers. They are now
bitterly attacking Cox and the league
of nations. They influence an ele
ment that ordinarily would be demo
cratic, and particularly in New York
is this going to have effect, for it
will counteract to a large extent the
appeal being made there for support
of the democratic ticket by those who
believe the election of Cox means
"lifting the lid" on prohibition. Outside-of
New York City, Mr. Cox's al
leged "wetness" will cut but little
figure, and the up-state vote in New
York, which will go republican, will
certainly wipe out any advantage
obtained in the city on this "false
hope" of a return of "John Barley
corn." Tammany cannot rule the up
state vote.
The republican campaign is well
organized and is being diligently
carried on. The leaders are not being
rushed off their feet, but are keeping
their eyes on the ball. The campaign
has settled down now to a question
of the personality of each candidate
as much as anything, with Cox repre
senting the sensationalist, and Hard
ing representing the sober minded,
serious thinking, constructive element
in America.
Much has been said about Ohio, and
the democrats are loud in their claims
of a majority there. But the demo
crats know better. Cox will not carry
Ohio, and they know it as well as any
one. Ohio is normally a republican
state by a large majority. The re
publicans of Ohio are not split by
any dissentions upon the national
ticket. The people of Ohio know Cox,
and though he has been governor of
that state, still that fact was due
in all instances to local conditions,
and the people of Ohio know he is
not the man for president. It is rather
early to make predictions, for much
may happen between now and No
vember 2, but after a careful survey
of the situation In Ohio, I am willing
to stake my reputation as a prophet
upon the assertion that Harding will
carry Ohio by at least 100,000 ma
jority, and I am not alone in that
prediction, for I am backed by the
judgment of others who have been
making a careful study of the situa
tion there. The east and middle west
will go strongly republican; more so
than in 1916. and it is up to the west
to put the finishing touches to "in
ternational idealism," "autocracy,"
and "the rule of the demagogue" in
this country.

Wood, who was president of the

his case. This he agreed to do, with
the exception of one mortgage. The
court insisted that he turn this over,
and upon his refusal to comply with
the order he was adjudged in contempt.
Later he was, taken into custody

This was refused, and he was ordered

Commins-Esch Railway Act Is In
dorsed in Rear-Platform Ad
dress at Huntington, Ind.
CHICAGO, Sept. 7. Senator W. G.
Harding, republican nominee for
president, stopped over in Chicago
for several hours today on his first
campaign trip outside of Ohio and
quietly paid a call on Major General
Leonard Wood.
Met at the station by the general.
Senator and Mrs. Harding motored
with him to his headquarters at Fort
Sheridan and after a rest at the
Wood home, made a visit to the gen
eral hospital where several hundred
soldiers are under treatment for
wounds received in the war.
The candidate shook many of them
by the hand and expressed his sym
pathy and hope for a quick recovery.
The senator later drove to Deerfield,
a suburb to board his special train
for St.. Paul, where he will deliver
an address to the Minnesota state fair
tomorrow on agricultural issues.
Nominee Cheered at Station.
A crowd gathered at the Dearborn
street station, gave the nominee a
cheer when he left his train, but as
his car threaded its way through the
traffic of the loop district and sped
out Sheridan road, few of those on
the streets recognized him.
He made no speeches here, but ear
lier in the day he made his .first rear-
"platform talk to a crowd at Hunting
ton, Ind., selecting as his theme an
Indorsement of the Cummins-Esch
railway act.
No formal reception or demonstra
tion had been organized here as it
was said the nominee preferred to
have his visit here devoted solely to
his personal call on the general.
Progressive Support Discussed.
Today's meeting between the sen
ator and General Wood was the
second since the convention. Nearly
a month ago, the general went to
Marion to pay respects and to pledge
his support and today they are un
derstood to have renewed their dis
cussion of policies to insure solid
progressive support for the repub
lcan ticket.
Neither of them, however, had any
statement to make except to say that
the call had strengthened the good
relations existing between them.
At Huntington there were several
hundred waiting for Senator Harding
and after he had shaken hands with
many" of them he yielded to demands
for a speech, which was cheered by
the crowd which included many rail
way employes. While the senator was
speaking his special changed engines
and Mrs. Harding went forward to
convey the -nominee's jhanka to the
engiineer who had made the run from
Marion.
At the Chicago station both the
nominee and his wife shook hands
with the engineer and fireman, Mrs.
Harding standing on tiptoe and reach
ing up a white gloved hand to grasp
tne Dig grimy one extended down
from the engineer's cab.

PRUNE HARVEST TO START
Clarke County Crop Large and De

VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 7.
(Special.) The prune growers of
Clarke county are almost ready.to be
gin picking the 1920 crop. A number
of modern prune dryers have been
built and are ready for use. Picking
will start, September 10.
The crop this year y ill be unusually
large and while all of the growers
have not contracted to sell their crop,
the Clarke County Growers associa
tion will set its price within a short
time. Some are said to have sold
their crop for 16 ennts. Whether the
association will set a higher or lower
price is not known, but the indications
are that prunes are not so much In
demand as they were several months
ago.
Kevenue Other Than Taxes Expect-
cd to Be $ 1 0,000, Leaving $79,-
44 0 to Be Raised by Taxation.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 7. (Spe
cial.) The city council last night at
a regular meeting adopted a tentative
budget for tne operation of the city
government for the coming year. The
budget is estimated at $89,440. but it
expected that the revenue, other
than taxes, will be $10,000, leaving
to be raised by taxation, $79,440.
The hearing will be held October 4.
The council authorized the sale of
0,000 in bonds, which were voted in
June, to be used in construction of the
open unit of. the dock system and a
trestle and harbor platform. It is
estimated that this will cost $64,000,
and other bonds will be sold as the
money is needed. These bonds must
sell at par.
At the special election held in June,
$130,000 in bonds were voted by an
overwhelming majority.
A certain amount of dredging to
get a 30-foot depth in front of the
dock will be done at an estimated cost
of $14,000.
It is hoped to get to work as soon
as possible. The Standifer dock, built
during the war for use in the wooden
shipyard here, will be utilized as much
as possible. The platform will be 50
feet wide and, 465 feet long and will
accommodate any ocean-going vessel
that may stop here. It is proposed
that a locomotive crane be purchased
and installed by the city for use in
load in sr and unloading cargoes.
