A fund ot from $25,000,000 to $;0,000,000 is being- raised by the republicans to de feat him. Governor Cox, democratic presidential candidate, declared today during his tour of Idaho and eastern Oregon. " Previously he had charged J15.000, 000 was being- raised. The governor's statement was made during an hour's speech from the second-story veranda of a Nampa. Idaho, hotel, and in response to a question asking how he expected to return conditions to normal, "when SO per cent of .the wealth is held by 3 per cent of the people." "If 80 per cent of the people will forget their politics," the governor replied, "and help me lick the 2 per cent that is raising a fund of from J-'5,000.000 to $30,000,000 to beat me we will make government an agency for the 100 per cent and not the 2 per cent." though the rank and file of the re publican party were to reach impor tant decisions and shape party poli cies. The real meaning of it, however, is that the party caucus of .United States senators in "Washington would in those circumstances run the gov ernment just as they ran the late republican convention. Obviously, this is a party campaign of misrepre sentation and falsehood. It harmon izes with dodging the issue and de ceiving the voter."

' In conclusion, the message says: "Why not answer this question openly and frankly? Cease to camouflage."

Eight speeches, dealing mainly with the democratic doctrines of "peace and progress," were delivered by Governor Cox. Disregarding his physician's orders banning out-door speeches, the gov ernor, believing his attack, of "speak ers' laryngitis" on the wane, deliv ered a string of rear platform and other open-air addresses and closed his day with a speech to a large meeting here tonight at a park. His voice still was quite hoarse, but he weathered another strenuous day of campaigning In good shape, he aid. At Huntington, Or., early today the candidate began work, and. en route here made addresses at Ontario, Or., and' Weiser, Payette, Caldwell, Merid ian and Nampa,. Idaho. The league of nations was preached by the governor in all and was em phasized here in the home city of Senator Borah, republican "irreconcil able" foe of the league. By a coinci dence, Senator Borah was said to be speaking tonight at Dayton. O., Gov ernor Cox's home. League Vacillation Charged. Governor Cox told his audience that opposition to the league was a "polit ical plot against America" as well as world civilization, designed to con tinue "disorder," to Increase feeling against the Wilson administration and to win the present election. "History will write it as the most reprehensible in all time," he said. Governor Cox reiterated that the republican platform and candidate were ambiguous and vacillating on the league issue. "You don't know where the reac tionary candidate stands because he himself doesn't know," the governor aid, repeating that the opposition party's position was taken because Senator Borah and Senator Johnson of California threatened to "bolt" and form a third party. Disarmament provisions of the league also were weighed upon as a means of reducing taxes, as well as precluding war. Separate Peace Denounced. "Stop building battleship," he said, "and we will use that money in She main for reclaiming arid land." The governor denounced making, a separate peace with Germany and the "senatorial oligarchy." Urging "inde pendent, non-partisan" action in No vember, he flayed the republican leaders and emphasized former Pres ident Roosevelt's fight in 1912 against what he said was the "same crowd today." The candidate repeated his charges and evidence in their support regard' ing republican campaign contribu tions. Referring, to alleged promises by William M. Wood, president of the American Woolen company, to the re publican campaign handbook enter prise of William Barnes Jr. of New York, he said he observed by today's papers that the corporations mills had been ordered reopened. The gov ernor said he was "too modest" to discuss the Incident further, except to recount his recent attacks on the corporation and Mr. Wood, whom he charged with seeking to depress wool prices in the face of increased de mand and to force employes to accept lower wages. He again denounced "big business" and chatged it with "contributing toward" purchase of the presidency. A' agent Accompanies Cox.

Referring to repeal of the Idaho primary law. Governor Cox said that it was a mistake, adding: .

Pepart- ment of Commerce by Attache. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. Increas ing difficulties between Japanese customs officials and American trad ers in Japan, leading to delays ii entering and installing American in dustrial machinery there, were re ported to the department of commerce today by Commercial Attache Abbott at Tokio. The attache said it was quite pos sible that a misconception of the economic forces behind Japan's heavy imports of industrial machinery had caused undue zeal on the part of customs officials in applying the Im port regulations. Japanese imports continue far In excess of exports and this adverse balance of trade can only be relieved by an increase in exports or a de crease in imports, Mr. Abbott's mes sage said.

NEW TORK, Sept. 14.--United States Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, speak ing before the Arkwright club here today, declared Governor Cox, if efcet ed, would exercise the powers of his office as they were exercised by Wil son. Roosevelt, Cleveland, Lincoln and other strong men of both parties, while Senator Harding, if elected, would exercise his presidential pow ers "under some form of dictatorship by a senatorial oligarchy in control of party machinery. "If this) question can be fairly con sidered by. the voters," he said, "it seems to me that a majority will de cide in favor of an individual presi dent, rather than a president acting as a figurehead for a combination of senators." The democratic programme, the sen ator said, consists ot a direct appeal to the people of the country without regard to party, on the Issues of - the day. "Senator Harding says he believes rn party government, and if he i3 elected the republican party will gov ern." . he continued. . "It sounds as PPlGfl Assemblymen Unseated for Alleged Disloyalty Making Strong , Race for Office. EW TORK. Sept. 14. A special election will be held here Thursday, September 16, to decide whether the five , socialist assemblymen ousted from the New Yor legislature last winter for alleged disloyalty shall be returned with the addition of another member of the same political faith. Republican and democratic leaders in the state s lower house have de clared that if the five ousted men are re-elected, steps will be taken to de bar them or to expel them again after they have taken their seats. The ouster last spring focused on Albany the attention of public leaders of all parties all over the country. The five socialists who were ex pelled last year are air candidates for re-election. They are August Claes- sons and Louis Waldman ot Manhat tan, Samuel A. DeWitt and Samuel Orr of the Bronx, and Charles Solo- man- of Brooklyn. Nat Rubin is the! socialist candidate of the nineteenth Brooklyn district for the seat vacated by the death of John Damlco, as semblyman. In each case the socialists are pros ecuting their campaigns vigorously. Efforts have been made by repub licans and democrats to agree on fusion candidates in opposition to the socialists, or failing this, to have one of these two parties make no nominations. To save their assemblymen from another expulsion if elected, social ists of the state have announced that they would amen! their constitution, striking out several of the articles which were cited in the ouster pro ceedings of last year as rendering the socialists unfit to sit in the assembly. A referendum vote is to be taken by the party on these proposed changes before the electron. Two of the provisions of the so cialist constitution which party lead ers say will be amended are those pro hibiting members from voting for military appropriations and providing that the party may force resignation of its representative in case he fails to obey their instructions.
