STATE FAIR GROUNDS, HAM
IKE, Minn., Sept. 8. Senator Hard
ing. making his first important cam
paign epeech away from home, out
lined his agricultural policy to an
applauding crowd of many thousands
today and later was acclaimed vocif
erously by other thousands In a string
of parades and receptions In Minne
spoils and St. Paul.
Throughout the speech the, great
audience massed in the fair grounds
grandstand frequently answered the
declarations of .the republican nomi
nee with bursts of handclapping.
Thunderous Welcome Given.
When the speaker turned from agrl
cultural subjects to make an im
promptu plea for preserved nation
ality and equal opportunity the
crowd got to its feet cheering and
waved him a thunderous welcome.
Hoth in Minneapolis and St. Paul,
crowds lined sidewalks of the down
town sections as the senator and his
party passed along in parade line and
a wave of cheering swept about him
as he stood in his automobile and
bowed his acknowledgements. In
each of the twin cities the nominee
chook hands with several hundred
persons at a public reception.
No Reference Made to Cox.
The speech was delivered from the
racS track judge's stand, where on
Monuy governor tjox addressed a
state fair crowd, but the republican
nominee made no reference to his op
ponent. He read from a manuscript
which he held in hi3 left hand while
with his right he kept before him
the mouthpiece of a telephonic device
for carrying his voice out to the
crowd. A blazing sun poured down on
him and he spoke rapidly, skipping
some portions of his prepared ad
dress and dropping in many instances
from his manuscript.
The appeal for Americanism" which
orougm me louaest applause, was
made after tho nominee had laid hi
manuscript aside, and was driven
home by vigorous gestures. He re
counted how on a return from Europe
some years ago his emotions had been
aroused at the sight of poverty strick
en immigrants issuing from under
decks and how a stranger had told
him not to worry about those
people."
America Land of Fromlae,
He declared It was "the greatest
day of their lives," said Senator Hard
ing, and said he "knew whereof he
spoke, because he himself had come
over that way six years before. And
that, my fellow countrymen, is the
story of America a land of guaran
teed freedon and opportunity. And I
want it to go on that way, preserving
its independence and pointing the way
to the highest civilization for the
world."
The candidate also made several
ether short talks during his visit of
four hours to the fair grounds. In
the main they were merely messages
of greeting to crowds that called on
him for a word, but in a speech to a
group of boys who had won prizes
for crop raising he took occasion to
reply to criticism of the senate as a
"rich man's club." Many of the
present members of that body, he
said, had won their way forward by
merit from the lowliest beginnings.
Many departments of the fair were
visited by Senator and Mrs. Harding.
Everywhere Mrs. Harding shook
hands and exchanged greetings with
those who crowded around, and sev
eral times she became separated fro
the party while she lingered to talk
with newly-found acquaintances
Band l:cy-tn Party.
Both in Minneapolis and St. Paul
the candidate's party was escorted by
a band in parade through the down
town streets. Accompanying the
nominee were F. W. Murphy, presi
dent of the state fair association
Governor Burnquist, Senator Kellogg
of this state. Senator New of Indi
ana, ana narry m. uaugherty, a mem
ber of the republican campaign com
mittee. In Minneapolis the senator's
public reception was held during the
afternoon at the Lincoln club, where
several hundred filed past to shake
his hand, and in St. Paul a similar
demonstration took place in the eve
ning at the state capitol. A recep
tion also was given Mrs. Harding by
the women of Minneapolis.
Arriving in St. Paul at 9 A. M., the
party, motored directly to the fair
grounds, where, after a tour of in
spection, they had luncheon. The
visit to Minneapolis was made imme
diately after the senator's address,
and they had dinner at the home of
Senator Kellogg in St. Paul. Leaving
St. Paul late tonight on his special
train, the nominee will arrive in
Marion Thursday evening.
Senator Harding made a short nd-
SALEM, Or., Sept. 8. (Special.)
Mailing of copies of proposed constl-.
tutional amendments and measures to
be submitted to the voters of Oregon
at the general election to be held on
November 2 was completed today un
der the direction of Sam A. (Kozer,
secretary of state.
A total of 339,750 pamphlets was
mailed to the voters whose name's and
addresses were returned to the secre
tary of state by the county clerks.
Postage on these pamphlets amounted
to $3397.50.
Under the law making effective the ATI AMTA D1I0TA IS $25,000
of the constitution, pamphlet copies of
all measures referred to the people at
a general election are required to be
mailed to all registered voters not
later than the 55th day before the
general election at which they are to
be voted upon.
There are 11 amendments and meas
ures referred to the people in all of
the counties except Umatilla, in which
there are 12 measures one, styled
Umatilla County Herd Law," being
. measure having reference to that
county only.
Two of the measures have been re
ferred to the people by the legislative
assembly, one was referred to the peo
ple by referendum petition and the
other eight were proposed by initia
tive petition. At the previous general
election, November 5, 1918, only six
measures were referred to the people
of the state.
The greatest number of measures
referred to the people at any election
was in 1912, when 38 measures were
before the people for their considera
tion. The smallest number was at the
general election of 1904, immediately
following the adoption of the initia
tive and referendum provision of the
constitution, when only four measures
were submitted.
"With the mailing facilities with
which the department is provided it
was possible to address and mail as
high as 40.000 pamphlets daily.

Oriental Exclusion league's plan t
secure legislation against ownership
or control of land by Japanese In tha

fund quota of Cleveland and $25,000
as that of Atlanta, came from repub
ican witnesses today at the senate
nvestigation of campaign funds and
xpenditures.
In addition, there was an admission
by Harry M. Blair, assistant to the
reasurer of the republican national
committee, that he had approved
form 101," a document setting forth
a campaign plan which called for sub
scriptions of $5000 and $10,000 each.
Mr. Blair said sufficient copies of
the bulletin were prepared to supply

onal treasurer, but that when the
national ways and means committee
refused to approve the project, the
release on the document was can

Mr. Blair said the form was in the

official.

after the bulletin was ready he went

would be approved, and when it was
turned down "for fear there might be

Democratic Drys Strive to Prevent

Dangerous.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 8. (Special.)
There are two communications on
the desk of Senater Harding and a
similar one on the desk of 'Governor
Cox which soon will have important
bearing on the campaign. These com
munications deal with prohibition.
This "wet" vs. "dry" issue will not
down; It will come up again and
again, specifically it will be brought
to the front again by the events
which will happen on or about Sep
tember 12. The anti-saloon league
has made up a record of the public
acts and expressions of Harding and
of Cox on prohibition. These two
records have bene sent to Cox and
Hardlns with letters asking each of
them If his record as made up repre
sents the facts and if he has anything
additional to say. In the letters trans
mitting these documents the two can
didates have been told that the rec
ords are to be made public September
1Z or soon thereafter and that if the
candidates have anything to say in
qualification of the reports they
should answer by September 12.
Compromise la Fomd.
Your correspondent has not seen
these two records as. made up, but
suspects that while of course they
will not really show the distinction
oeiween Harding and Cox on this
dry Issue as clearly as is shown by
many things less official but more
convincing.
xne trutn is. there is some "politics
in the anti-saloon league. The birth
plaoe of the anti-saloon league is Ohio
an,. It still cuts a larger figure In
that state than anywhere else. If it
were a mere matter of Ohio alone
there is little doubt .that the anti
saloon league would, help Harding
and oppose Cox, but in the role of a
national institution the antl-salooh
league includes a good many leaders
from the south who are democrats.
These democrats want to avoid In
juring their party and the result has
been this compromise of merely pub
lishing the records of the two men.
Cox Avowal Possible.
Regardless of what these records
may say, the fact is that in the eyes
of the country Cox is becoming in
creasingly identified with the ex
treme "wets." He cannot Possibly af
ford to allow this to go on unless he
is willing to avow that position and
take its penalties with its assets. In
fact. If he does not repudiate it soon
It may be expected that later on in
the campaign he will openly avow It.
As things stand now. the Liquor
Dealers' association of New Jersey
has stated officially to Its members
that Governor Cox was materially
aided in his nomination by this and
other affiliated liquor dealers' asso
ciations. It has stated further that
"Governor Cox can be counted on to
lead the fight to remove the eigh
teenth amendment from the constitu
tion." West Thoroughly Dry.
Governor Cox must know that to
have a statement of this kind publicly
made about him and to fail to deny it
specifically puts him In the extreme
"wet" position. So long as he Is in
the position It is useless for him to
attempt to carry the west. When it
comes to voting the west will put the
"dry" issue ahead of the league of
nations issue and If Governor Cox
continues in this position his tour of
the west is a waste of time.
It is the best judgment of compe
tent observers in the west that on a
"wet" Issue Cox cannot get more than
six electoral votes west of the Missis
sippi, aside, of course, from the three
southern states on that side-of the
river. It is sometimes claimed that
Cox will carry California on the
"wet" issue, but the best judgment
from California denies this.
Bryan's Support Problematical.
Chairman White of the democratic
national committee has intimated his
belief that Bryan will be backing Cox
before the campaign Is over. Chair
man White may know whereof he
speaks; he may have had direct com
munication from Mr. Bryan. I have
had no such direct communication
since the San Francisco convention,
nevertheless I do not hesitate to dif
fer with Chairman White. I am fa
miliar with what Mr. Bryan's friends
in Nebraska are doing, friends so in
timate that their activltes may be
regarded as a certain Index of Mr.
Bryan's sympathies. Judging by this
evidence I do not hesitate to express
the prediction that Bryan will never
support Cox unless Cox can find some
way of freeing himself from tag
which the liquor dealers' associa

LONDON, Sept. 8. Terence Mac

weaker and more exhausted. It was
added he had passed a fairly good

An inspired statement issued today
Indicates that Premier Lloyd George
is willing to accept guaranties from
Sinn Kein headquarters that police
murders will cease and that he does
not require a personal guaranty from
Lord Mayor MacSwlney.
If this guarantee is forthcoming,
it is set forth in the statement, Mac
Swlney and the hunger strikers in
the Cork jail would be released and
held as virtual hostages, and if the
murders were resumed they would
again be sent to jail.
It is an interesting question whether
the Sinn Feiners are prepared to give
such an assurance. Up to the present

ROME. Sept. 8. By the Associ

from an earthquake disaster, the ex
tent of which has not yet been meas

hundreds of persons have been killed
and thousands injured. Many small
towns and villages have been
wrecked and. although assistance Is
being hurried from all parts of the
country to the afflicted area, there is
much suffering from want of food,
medicines and shelter.
It is not yet possible to calculate
how many hundreds are dead. Tho
list up to this eveniner shows close to
400 already reported. There are many
bodies under the ruins, and there are
wounded also under the ruins who
have not yet been rescued.
Ilttspltals Are C'ronded.
There are believed to be many
thousands of injured. The hospitals
at Spezia have already received about
00 and 300 othe.-s have been taken
to other hospitals near by. Impro

caring for many others.
AH classes are combining in their

Survivors describe the shock as ter

EXTENT OF DISASTER GROWS
Many Populous Towns Wholly or
Partially Destroyed. 1
ROME, Sept. 8. Scores of lives are
believed to have been lost in the dis
trict north of Florence, which was
severely shaken by an earthquake
yesterday morning. As reports from
the stricken region come Jn the ex
tent of the disaster seems to be
growing. m
The territory violently disturbed
seems to be lozenge-shaped, with
Florence at the southern apex and
Modena at the northern end. It ex
tends along the Etrurian coast and
runs over the Appenines eastward for
upwards of 100 miles. In this district
there are many populous tow-s, and
no tidings have as yet been received
