By
Watkins' Proposal to Quit
Race Is Ignored.
0 ANSWER TO BE MADE
Democratic Nominee Refuses to
IMeelge Self to Certain Meas
ures on Volstead Law.
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 made this
tnnouncement upon his arriival here
tonight. It was understood that a
similiar proposal was made to Sen
ator Harding, the republican nom
inee. The prohibition party's proposal.
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.
Governor Cox reached here after a
Jong detour, caused by the wreck of
his special train near Phoenix yes
terday, via Deming, N. M.. where he
gave a brief talk and shook hands
with scores of persons. Traveling all
day, partly by special and regular
trains, the governor greeted more
admirers at Rincon, San Marcial and
Belen. Many Mexicans, half-breeds
and Indians' heard him.
Colorado will be the governor's
campaign ground tomorrow. Leaving
here late tonight, he was to spend
an hour tomorrow morning at Trini
dad, make a. rear platform talk at
Walsenburg. scene of mine disorders,

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.

GOVERNMENT CHIEFS
T
Kramer Admits Charges to
Great Extent Are True.
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."
