necticut will be among the places
visited.
Harding' headquarters announced
that the senator had accepted an in
vitation to speak from the. same plat
form with Governor Cox, near Fre
mont, Ohio, October 4. The pro
gramme as understood here con
templates that the two nominees shall
be luncheon guests on that day at the
home of Webb C. Hayes, a son of
President Rutherford B. Hayes, and
shall speak afterwards at the dedi
cation of a soldier memorial.
Cox Will Be There.
Colonel Hayes called at Harding
headquarters today and said he had
assurances that Governor Cox would
he present despite news dispatches
baying he had canceled the engage
ment. The day is the anniversary of
the birth of President Hayes.
Today Senator Harding received a
surprise front porch visit from about
100 former newsboys, all of them once
in his employ as carriers of the Mar

Harding Newsboys club.
Karlier in the day four little Slavic
trect musicians with unpronounce
able namek and tattered clothes made
a pilgrimage from Cleveland to the
front porch. They played several
violin quartets for the nominee and
then Mrs. Harding took them into
the house and personally supervised a
waffle breakfast for them.
GOMPERS LAUDS COX

Harding Wants to Return to Pre
W'ar Conditions, Says Leader
of Workers in Attack.
WASHINGTON". Sept. 26. (By the
Associated PreeB.) in the current
issue of the American Federa tionist,
under the title " Normalcy" vs. Prog
ress." Samuel Gomperfl says Senator
Harding has summed up bis position
as in favor of "going backward,"
while Governor Cox iias declared for
'going forward."
Atr. Gompers also eays that the
republican national convention In
adopting- its platform "turned its
back on labor" and declares that
"every American worker, every ear
nest American citizen, must strive
ardently for the defeat of those who
turned their back upon labor and
upon the people generally."
''The two leading candidates for I
the presidency have defined clearly
their attitude toward the great pub
He issues of the day," says Mr. Gom
pers. "In a sentence each has summed
up his position.
"In effect Senator Harding 6aye,
"Let us return to normalcy.'
''Governor Cox eays, I am for
procress."
"Senator Harding does not use the
word 'normal', he speaks of 'nor
malcy. The word Is obsolete and so
is the condition to which be would
return. "
"Unquestionably In the mind of
Senator Harding a return to normal
means a return to conditions that
existed before the war a return to
something that is past. In It clear,
then, that in keeping with the spirit
of the republican platform, Senator
Harding's personal desire is to follow
a course that leads backward, and If
elected to lead the nation in such a
course."

CHEYENNE. Wye. Sept. 26. Sena
tor Harding, republican presidential
candidate, was described as a "brewer
who is apologizing" for his holdings,
in a statement issued here tonight by
Governor Cox, democratic nominee, be
fore the latter's departure to continue
his campaign tomorrow in Nebraska.
Governor Cox referred to the respec
tive proposition of the prohibitionists
to himself and Senator Harding and
charged that Wayne B. Wheeler, gen
eral counsel for the National Antl-
Saloon league, had acted to "protect
henator Harding and was a mere
chattel of rnnhlimn h,9rimifirt,r,"
W lthout giving his own position on
maintaining the Volstead law. Gov
ernor Cox asserted that questions
asked him and Senator Harding by
Mr. Wheeler were designed to aid the
republican nominee.
The statement follows:
"My attention has been called to a
dispatch from the east which quotes
Wayne H. Wheeler, general counsel of
the Anti-Saloon league, as saying that
he -has submitted questions to both
Harding and myself and that I had
not responded, but Senator Harding
naa.
Trickery la Charged.
"Let me direct the notice of the
public to this significant circum
stance: I was asked whether I was
for or against any proposal to change
the Volstead law. Senator Harding
was asked whether he stood by his
recorded vote on the 18th amendment
and the Volstead act. This sharp dif
ference will be noted: Thequestlon
to me was based upon future devel
opments, the one to Senator Harding
was not. I was asked what 1 would
do in the future, Senator Harding
was not.
"The habitual trickery of Wheeler,
which we are used to in Ohio, by the
way, is obvious In the face -of his
oft-repeated statement that the antt
saloon league was only interested
now in what might be done with the
Volstead act, and yet he made no at
tempt whatsoever to ascertain Sen
ator Harding's stand on what he.
Wheeler, himself says is the real
Issue. This would all seem to be a
carefully devised partisan plan. In
fact, one would have expected it from
Will H. Hays, the republican chair
man. Candidate Held Protected.
"That it was prepared as a protec
tion to the republican candidate.
rather than as an attempt to ascertain
his views, is coincidence of events.
On the day preceding Mr. Wheeler's
statement, representatives of the re
publican party made public In Chica
go a letter from George Christian Jr.,
Senator Harding's secretary, in which
two striking things appeared: first,
that the senator was interested in the
brewery business and second that if
the Volstead act was changed by con
gress the senator would not Improp
erly impose his will upon the law
making body. In face of this disturb
ing revelation, first aid was needed
from some source.
"If it had been given by Chairman
Hays of the republican national com
mittee. It would have been unavail
ing, but Mr. Wheeler, true to his ad
herence in the past to the reactionary
influences of the commercial wing
now in charge of the republican
party, came forward with a blunder
ing and unscrupulous defense. It is
inconceivable how any sensible per
son would attempt to foist such a
thing on the public and. further, how
the conscientious members of the
Anti-Saloon league can have any
further doubts as to Wayne Wheeler
being, what I have already charged,
a mere chattel of the republican
headquarters.

FV M. Woodrow, examiner of the In

Involving various issues between
shippers and the railroads, the first
of which was on complaint of the
Grand Ronde Lumber company
against the Oregon-Washington Rail
road & Navigat'on company, which
occupied the day yesterday. The
hearing was held in the United States

Perry to La Grande based on a rate of
90 cents when the tariff was 50 cents.
The company seeks to recover the
sum above named.

Northwest Steel company, seeking to
recover 7500 paid in fre.ight charges

tention of the commissioner.
Another reparation case is that of
the International Spar company of

and was charged the class A rate in
stead of the lumber rate, and now
seeks to recover the difference.
The Ellison-Wh'te Lyceum bureau

case in which they seek to recover a
sum paid in excess of the previously

GREAT DISCONTENT SEEN
Dissatisfaction Held Greatest Issue
in Election. ' '
CHICAGO. Sept. 26. (Special.)
"General dissatisfact'on is the main
Issue wherever I have been in this
campaign," said Representative Syd
ney Anderson of Lanesboro, Minn..
when he stopped In Chicago yester
day on his way to take part in the
Indiana campaign. "As far as I have
observed in the northwest, the league
of Tiatlons, industrial 4uest)ons and
taxation are in third place in most
political discussions. Even the high
cost of living is regarded as in second
place. The railroads and even prohi
bition are in fifth and sixth places.
They are all swallowed up in the
universal discontent. The people are
so worn'out with the Wilson adminis
tration that they lump together all
things it has done and want to get
rid of them in a bunch. In Minnesota
there is no democratic party worth
mentioning. Even ex-democrats do
not want to make any argument for
their party. The whole Cox proposi
tion seems dead in Minnesota."
Representative Anderson predicts
that Minnesota will go by 80,000 to
100.000 for Harding and Coolidge.
