ALBUQUERQUE. X. jr., Sept. 23. Governor Cox. democratic presidential candidate, will ignore proposals from the prohibition party for retirement of Aaron S. Watkins, prohibition can didate, from the presidential race if the governor would pledge himself to certain measures regarding the Volstead law.

Governor Cox stated came in a let ter about two weeks ago from Vir jril G. Hinshaw, who said he acted of ficially. The letter was in the nature of a questionnaire regarding action upon the Volstead law and other pro hibition questions. Mr. Hinshaw, it was said expresed an opinion that Mr. Watkins would retire from the pres idential arena should Goverrnor Cox reply favorably to the questionnaire. No Reply Is to Be Made. No reply has bcn. or will be made, Governor Cox said tonight and he de clined also to comment upon a similar offer by Mr. Watkins. Governor Cox defined his position on the league of nations in further detail in an address here tonight to a large audience. "1 favor going on. to put an end to war for all time." said the governor. "This is my position. 1 am determined to obtain the earliest possible en trance into the league of nations with the least possible delay and with the leapt possible reservations needed to accomplish that result. The platform adopted by the convention at which I was nominated permits reservations which will clarify and reassure our people and is opposed only to reser vations which would nullify and de stroy. I have no doubt that repub lican and democratic senators alike will loyally fulfill the people's man date which my election will signify. Heart Declared in FIrM. "I shall endeavor to meet all reason able desires for proper reservations which are offered in sincerity and not merely presented as trumped up for political purposes. My heart is in thia fight and I will put forth all effort and make any reasonable concession to win it that we may secure member ship in the league for America." The governor's statement was made In response to questions in local re publican newspapers which, he said, lie was informed were inspired by two advance agents of Chairman Hays of the republican national committee These men, named Headly and Smith, the candidate said, were "Hays' scouts" and endeavoring to embarrass and minimize his western campaign, trav eling a few days ahead of the gover nor's itinerary. To one of the local newspaper's questions on prohibition. Governor Cox also reiterated his position, stat ing: Liquor Contributions Denied. "No liquor association has ever con tributed a dollar to any of my cam paigns to my knowledge, nor have I ever owned a share of stock in a brewery. I would suggest this ques tion be asked of the reactionary can didate. The 18th amendment is a part of the constitution. The president takes an oath to uphold the constitution and the law. 1 will not violate my oath of office, but will enforce the law as I have done as the executive of Ohio, where, for the first time in the history of the state, under my first term, saloons were closed on the Sabbath." Governor Cox challenged the news papers to "get a single direct answer on any subject" from Senator Hard ing. "He has been definite," the gov ernor continued, "and he has been consistent on one thing only, his championship of the cause of big business and reaction and his 'defer ence and devotion' to the senatorial oligarchy." Ilia; Corruption Fond Charged. "When a political committee en deavors to kill the news when it dares not meet the Issue on which Its candidate wobbles from day to day. when it seeks to obtain the presidency by use of a huge corrup tion fund, it Is time for the people to think seriously. "I am going back east after my visit in the west, carrying this as surance to friends and foes the west is alive, the west Is alert and the west Is with me in my fight for the peace of the world and the progress and peace of our land and the west cannot be bought." The league of nations, reclamation and labor were prominent themes of the governor s speech. He also reit erated that money saved by disarma ment would be available for greater reclamation work In the west. Special Train la Wrecked.

(Copyright, 102U. by Press Publishing Co. Published by Arrangement.) MILAN". Italy, Sept. 23. The first sign of interest shown by the middle class In the present dispute between labor and capital comes from women. The Italian Women's league, made up chiefly of wives and widows of ex-soldiers, has issued a manifesto to the country appealing to women throughout the peninsula to "inter vene in the present fight and bring their words of moderation and peace to bear in order that work may again become normal and national life may once more reflect Italian good sense." This rather vague plea is intended not only to arouse the middle classes, but also the wives of laborers, who more keenly feel the crisis. Tn the Milan district women appear prepared to fight to a finish. Since the fight began employers have boasted of tho loyalty of clerks. Now the clerks have issued long man ifestos, declaring that though they are neutral they will cease to be so if they find their class Interests shaken thereby, and they have ap pointed a committee to study what line of conduct they should follow in view of a prolonged struggle. The clerks in factories making subma rines for Britain, Greece and South America, which were seized 15 days ago, are especially active. The attitude of the employers Is getting on the nerves of labor dele gates. These delegates told Milan's prefect during negotiations this aft ernoon that unless, the capitalists met their demands within the next few hours they would issue an ultimatum.

SCANDAL BREWS, WARNING New York Welfare Commissioner Flays Anti-Saloon League and Dry Law Agents. WASHINGTON. Sept. 23. Prohi bition enforcement officials, the New Tork branch of the anti-saloon league and Its superintendent, William H. Anderson, shared alike a vitriolic at tackmade today by Bird S. Coler, New York commissioner of public welfare, in a speech before the in ternational congress against alcohol ism. Mr. Coler's address, although cen sored by officials of the congress, charged "open violation" of prohi bition laws and accused- Mr. Ander son of attempting to incite race and religious hatred. Prohibition Commissioner Kramer answered the attack on his bureau and Mr. Anderson, who was absent, replied in a statement accusing Mr. Coler of injecting "Tammany politics" into an international meeting. Mr. Coler explained as a preface to his speech that when he reached the convention hall he was informed by Chairman Dinwiddle that he would no be permitted to deal with per sonalities. League Called Baielc Passers. He leveled a bitter attack on the mass of dry workers, particularly those 'associated with the anti-ealoon league, saying they were "buck pass ers" and had not forced the candi dates of either of the maior parties to take a definite etand as to reten tion and enforcement of the prohibi tion laws. As for federal enforce ment of prohibition, the speaker de manded that "something be done right away." "If the prohibition enforcement of ficials don't take hold of this situa tion quickly," Mr. Coler continued, "there'll be a worse scandal when this administration goes out than there was in the old whisky ring 25 years ago. I'm tired og going after the poor little deviL I want the en forcement corps to be - a body, that counts even among their own num bers in the very heart of the govern ment. Government Chiefs Accused. "I could give you many names right now. myself, but they (those named) would know before I left this plat form that they would be sought the leaks are just that close here in the government. "The prohibition commissioner, if he wanted to, could take one or two men and could round up senators, govern ment officials and scores of others for violation of the liquor laws. New Tork could be cleaned up in 60- days. But the department of justice and Mr. Kramer's bureau and the other government departments have got to work together. As it is everybody's ducked. Kven Cox and Harding have ducked except when heckled and that's' not a satisfactory way to get assurances." Kramer Admfta Charges. Replying to Mr. Coler's charges Mr. Kramer said that to a consider WN O inm able extent they were true, but he Insisted the New Tork commissioner should provide a "bill of particulars" in order that- the small force of the bureau might know where to go on the trail of the bootleggers. He told the congress he was doing his "level best" to enforce the laws. After officials of the congress had declined to permit delivery of that part of his speech referring to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Coler gave it out in the form of a public statement. Mr. Anderson in his reply said: "Any statement that I have made, any attack upon any church is utter ly untrue. But fear of misrepresen tation has deterred me from exposing and thwarting the Tammany scheme to capitalize politically against prohi bition the influence of a great church many of whose clergy and lay mem bers have been noted leaders in the fight to destroy the liquor traffic." 21 FEDERAL COMMISSIOX DISAL LOWS 2 4 DEMANDS.
