INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Oct. 25. (Spe
cial.) Of the five states in this mid
dle western country lying- between the
Mississippi and the Appalachians and
north of the Ohio. Indiana is me one
that Cox has the best chance of carry-
lng. His next best chance is in Ohio.
In one of the states. Michigan, he
has absolutely no chance whatever
and in Illinois, in spite of the faction
alism within the republican ranks.
Cox has no chance. Also in Wiscon
sin, although the factionalism there is
even worse than in Illinois, with the
regular republicans trying to defeat
the party nominee for governor, and
the LaFoliette republicans trying to
defeat the party nominee for senator,
Harding will win.
Indiana Situation Reviewed.
It is in Indiana that Cox has his
best chance. The republicans now
and for the past three weeks have
been claiming the state by about 65,
000 for Harding, with the republican
senatorial candidate, Watson, 15.000
or 20.000 less. I think these figures
represent really sound investigation
and a reasonably conservative point
of view on the part of the republicans.
But 65,000 is not an insuperable
handicap for a state as large as In
diana, and there are many factors
that work in favor of the democrats.
First of all, Lake county, which
contains the new steel city of Gary
and other industrial towns, is almost
& state in itself, and the best judg
ment is that Lake county will go
strongly democratic. In conversations
with democratic leaders, as well as
republicans, both groups claim this
industrial region. But it seems to
me the democrats have the better
ground for confidence. Union labor
is strong in Lake county, and wher
ever union labor is strong Cox is
strong.
Vnl.a Labor Stronsr for Cox.
I think it can be stated as a gen
eralization, applicable to the country
as a whole, that no other man who
ever ran for the presidency will have
as large a union labor vote as Cox.
The American Federation of Labor is
workinsr zealously for him. For ex
ample. I have been told that the Amer
ican Federation of Labor recently
cent J150.000 into Kansas to be spent
en organization work for Cox.
From the point of view of demo
cratic success. I think Kansas is a
poor place ir which to ppend that
much money and that it could have
been used to better advantage in a
state less thoroughly committed to
Harding. But I cite it merely as an
evidence of how thoroughly union
labor Is devoted to the Cox cause.
Union labor will carry this industrial
region of Indiana for Cox.
Democratic AricIs Pointed Ont.
Furthermore, all tho 13 congress
men and the two senators from In
diana are republicans, and every one
of them voted for the Cummins-Ech
railroad bill. Organized labor is mak-4
ing a fight against the Cummins-Eseh
bill, and the aggregate of opposition
to these congressmen and senators
for this vote must count a good deaL
Similarly, both these senators and
all these congressmen voted for pro
hibition, and in the same way the
aggregate of opposition to prohibition
throughout the state must count
something.
It may be conceded that support of
the Cummins-Esch bill and prohibi
tion was a meritorious thing, but it
still remains as a fact in practical
politics that the aggregate of opposi
tion throughout the entire state to
both these measures is a democratic
Stronsr for Leaene.
Moreover Indiana, and especially the
metropolis, Indianapolis, is. as com
munities go. rather strong pro-league
territory. Both the great papers in
Indianapolis have been strongly pro
league. Still further. Indiania is one
of those states in which the wounds
of primary contests last spring are
still bleeding. There was a bitter
state wide primary in which Wood,
Johnson and Harding all participated.
Harding ran a very bad fourth. Nat
urally, when he turned out a winner
at Chicago, the Indiana supporters of
the other three, who had been worked
up to a high pitch of loyalty by the
bitterness of the primary fight, re
sented Harding's success.
Many former adherents of Wood and
Johnson especially are not very loyal
to the republican ticket, and many
rank and file republicans who were
worked up Into intense devotion to
Wood or Johnson win quietly ex
press their bitterness by voting for
rCox. There is more of this than the
Indiana politicians realize.
In addition the republicans have

POSITION IS MADE PLAIN
Effect on Election Questioned ;
Print Interview, Frenchman
Replies to Question.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 26. (By the As
sociated Press.) Leon Bourgeois,
president of the council of the league
of nations, gave his views to Ameri
can newspaper correspondents last
night on article 10 of the covenant,
of the league of nations. Today the
following authorized statement re
garding the interview wa3 issued
through M. Comert, 'the principal
press official of the league of nations
who had previously arranged the in
terviews: ,
"M. Bourgeois, to the American cor
respondents, last night said he had
been astonished to see the political
discussion in America centered around
article 10 of the covenant.
Article X Moral Only.
"Article 10 is hot in fact anything
more than the moral foundation of
the covenant. All that is efficacious
in the covenant is set forth in other
articles indicating penalties and sanc
tions.
"M. Bourgeois, in the course of his
statement to the correspondents, said
that article 10 could be eliminated
without in any way modifying the
effectiveness of the league and de
clared that it was not considered so
important by Europeans as by Amer
icans." Effect on V. S. Questioned.
At the close of the interview and
after M. Bourgeois had withdrawn the
question was raised among the Amer
ican correspondents as to the effect
of his utterance on the presidential
election in the United States. It was
thereupon agreed to withhold the
statement until M. Bourgeois could
review it in this light and give his
authority for Its publication. ,
M. Comert informed the correspond

M. Bourgeois to say whether he i

Repnbllcan Victory Held to Mean
Arid Land Development and
Protection of Industries.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. Oct. 25. Arid land de
velopment as well as legislation to
protect the farm and market indus
tries of the west will be assured by
the election of Harding and Coolidge,
is the message carried in a letter
written today by Senator Borah of
Idaho to Major Fred R. Reed of
Pocatello.
Referring, to the present govern
ment policy toward farm markets
and tho livestock industry. Senator
Borah aays both "now are being
murdered." With the election of
Harding be rays "the west will come
into its own," and he . expresses the
hope that "our majorities throughout
the west will place us in harmony
with what seems the finest outlook
the west has ever had for genuine
growth and prosperity."
The letter in full follows:
"I am glad to be able to write you
again in regard to m-.tters which we
have had up and in which you are
so deeply interested. I am perfectly
confident now that you need have
no fear as to the programme for the
development of the west in the event
of the election of Harding and
Coolidge. I have such assurance that
I feel exceedingly happy over the
outlook.
"Harding, m my opinion, is thor
oughly determined to give us not only
a genuine programme of development
for our arid lands, but such legisla
tion as will prote.. our farm markets
and livestock industry, both of which
you know are now being murdered.
In my opinion the west will come
into its own and a real and satis
factory plan commensurate with its
influence will be a Cistinct part .of
the administration programme. The
whole thing has been gone over, and
the success of the republican ticket,
in my opinion, will assure what you
and others so long and urgently have
been striving for.
"I hope our majorities throughout
the west will place us in harmony
with what seems to me the finest
outlook the west has ever had for
genuine growth and prosperity. I
have not felt so assured and so happy
over the outlook since I have been
in the public service1."
ARMENIANS ASK MARINES
Soldiers of Sea Wanted to Keep
Batum Railroad Open.
WASHINGTON, , Oct. 25. Secretary
Daniels has been asked by the Armenian-American
society to send war
ships to the Black sea1 to land marines
at Batum to keep open the railroad
line from that port to Erivan. Mr.
Daniels promised to take the matter
up with Secretary Colby.
A resolution requesting the presi
dent to send marines to Batum was
adopted by the senate last May 13. It
was offered by Senator Harding on
behalf of the foreign relations com
mittee. Since that time a number of
destroyers have been ordered to the
Black sea, but none of them carried
marines.

Alexander of Greece Suc
cumbs to Wounds.
MONARCH BITTEN OCTOBER 3
Wound Becomes Infected;
Operations Fruitless.
YOUNG RULER POPULAR
Friction Developing on Accession,
Following Father's Abdication,
Later Is Largely Allayed.
ATHENS, Oct. 25. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) King Alexander of
Greece died at 5:20 P. M. today. His
death was due to wounds received
when a pet monkey attacked him
early in October, the king being
badly mutilated.
Throughout last night, the heart
action grew weaker, his general de
bility became more pronounced and
pulmonary symptoms were intense.
Breathing at times was must diffi
cult and alarming, and at noon today
it was announced that the king's con
dition was hopeless. v-
The death of King Alexander gives
rise to the question of succession to
the Greek throne. Pornler King Con
stantino was reported, according - to
Swiss dispatches of October 17, as in
tending to take advantage of the sit
uation created by his son's grave ill
ness, by returning to Greece to claim
the throne.
Brother May Succeed.
About the same time a regency was
suggested, and Constantino gave his
opinion of this as follows: "Sufficient
unto the day is the e'-il thereof. I
will not think of a regency yet. My
plans are those of my people."
Premier Venizelos Sunday expressed
himself as confident that Prince. Paul,
Constantine's third son, would not be
prevented from taking the throne by
his father. - - - -
Both Prince Arthur of Connaught
and Prince Charles of Belgium have
been mentioned as possible candidates.
It is probable that the old chamber
will be reconvened owing to the
king's death to consider w;hat steps
are to be taken before the new cham
ber meets.
Alexander succeeded to the throne
of Greece in June, 1917, when his
father. King Constantine, abdicated
in response to tho demand of France,
Great Britain and Russia, the three
powers which had guaranteed the
constitutional liberties of the Greek
people. Alexander was the second
son of Constantine and at the time
of his accession was not quite 24
years old. His elder brother. Crown
Prince George, was considered in
eligible for the throne because of
alleged pro-German sympathies.
King; Counted Pro-Ally.
In any event. King Constantine
nominated Alexander to succeed him,
The fall of Constantine had been
brought about through the agency of
the French senator, M. Jonnart. who
went to Athens in June, 1917, as a
representative of the three great i
powers on the ground that this step I
would establish unity ' of feeling I
among tha Greeks and greater secur- I
ity for the entente forces then oper- j
ating in the east. Constantine had
been accused of pro-German sympa
thies, partly on account of his mar
riage to tho Princess Sophie, sister
of the then Emperor William of Ger
many, and It also was charged that
he had not acted honorably toward
the allies. Alexander, on the other
hand, was reported to be free from
pro-German proclivities.
Constantine left Athens and took
up his residence in Switzerland.
Alexander took the oath of office
at Athens in August, 1917. and prom
ised to carry out the policy of his
father. This was said to have shocked
the entente powers. It was soon re
ported that he was at odds with Pre
mier Venizelos and had refused to
abandon his idea of continuing his
father's programme. Some doubts
were raised as to the advisability of
permitting him to assume the throne
unless he discontinued what was
characterized as an obstructive pol
icy. (
Marriage I Protested. "
Reports of lack of harmony be
tween Alexander and Venizelos were
circulated in the spring of 1920, but
the premier disposed of these in a
statement in which he paid tribute.to
the king's patriotism. One respect
in which the king and his premier
were said to have been at odds was
over the king's morganatic marriage
to Mile. Manos, daughter of a former
aide-de-camp to his father, which is
said to have taken place in November,
1919. No record of the marriage was
obtainable owing to the fact that it
was not recorded with the metro
politan of Athens, the supreme eccle
siastic authority of Greece.
The young king and his morganatic
wife were childhood friends and
sweethearts. Alexander asserted
that he had a right to marry whom
ever he pleased and took his brftie to
the palace in Athens. This aroused
a storm of discussion, which so dis
pleased his wife that in the early part
of 1920 she went with her mother
and sister to live in Paris. Alexander!

NO-POLITICS ORDER BROKEN
Chamberlain, McArthur .and
Dr. Lovejoy Speak.
STANFIELD CHOICE URGED
Montavllle Flowers Declares Elec
tion or Republican to Wash
ington Is Vital.
Despite a suggestion of the chair
man that no politics be brought into
the meeting, a lively political session
was held yesterday at the Portland
Woman's Research club luncheon at
the Benson hotel, in which Senator
Chamberlain; Montaville Flowers, rep
resenting Robert N. Stanfield; Mayor
Baker, Representative C. N. McArthur
and Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy were the
principal speakers. Three hundred
I women were present at the luncheon.
"That I am a democrat goes without
saying," declared Senator Chamber-
lain. "Anyone who votes for me
knows that he is voting for a demo
crat." He made this statement after Mr.
Flowers had stated that "Mr. Stan
field is the republican nominee, made '
the standard-bearer of republican
principles by the machinery of your
state, set up for the purpose of select
ing candidates.
Stanfield Election I'rgrJ.
"Republicans In Oregon and their
republican principles can not be rep
resented in Washington by the new
senator unless that senator be Robert
N. Stanfield," he said.
"I think I am in a position to know .
what the people of Oregon want as
well as Mr. Flowers," stated Senator
Chamberlain. "I have represented the
people of this state for several years,
and I have yet to hear any one in Ore
gon say that I have misrepresented
him.
"I stand for a. league of nations,' he
continued.
"Why didn't you vote for it, then?"
queried Mrs. Alexander Thompson
from the audience.
"I did," he said. "I voted for the
league of nations as it first came
over, I voted for it with the Hitch
cock reservations, I voted for it with
the Lodge reservations and I would
take the same course again.
Harding's Position Held Same.
"1 am in favor of a league in order
to stop the wars of the future," he
said. "Mr. Harding, a very distin
guished man, took the same position
as 1 did on the league."
"Do you mean to say, Mr. Chamber
lain," asked Mr. Flowers, "that Hard
ing voted for it as it came over and
voted for it with the Hitchcock reser
vations?"
"No. I mean he voted for it with the
Lodge reservations," answered Mr.
Chamberlain.
"That is very different," said Mr.
Flowers.
Mr. Flowers was asked just before
the luncheon, to attend and represent
Mr. Stanfield, who is in eastern Ore
gon. The chairman asked Mr. Flowers
to speak first, but not to make a polit

The democratic party stands for the
league of nations which is an armed
alliance to defend territories with
dead-eet boundaries by force of arms."
Menace of Radicalism Cited.
McArthur spoke of the menace of
radicalism in this country today, de
