Progressive and Constructive Policy
Sor Promoting World Peace
Declared by Candidate.
Xlembers of the .Roosevelt Republi
can club at the Benaon hotel yester
day noon heard Robert N. Stanfield,
republican nominee for United States
senators declare that the republican
party had a progressive and a con
structive policy for promoting: world
peace and heard Representative Mc
Arthur challenge James M. Cox to ex
plain why his newspaper defended the
sinking of the Lusitania.
"I should like to ask Governor Cox
a. question," Bald Representative Mc
Arthur In the course of his address.
" 'Why did you In your newspaper
ttefend the sinking: of the LusltanlaT
"There Is a great deal of pussy
footing going on In the press and on
"the stump for the fear of alienating
tiie votes of a certain class.
Quratlon Asked In Good Faith.
"I am not one who fears this re
sult. I ask this question of Oovarnor
Cox in all good faith and I hope that
lie answer It fairly and squarely
and "not do the baby act and attempt
to shoulder the responsibility which
3s his upon a subordinate..
"I notice that he Is goin about the
country talking a great deal about a
'slush' fund. I know that he Is not
getting anywhere with that talk. 1
know that the verdict of the Amer
ican people has already been formed
that his charges are not well founded.
1 notice that : In Spokane he said
someone ought to be sent to the pen
itentiary. That is a good place to
send some people. I wish also to
call to his attention that the states
have other institutions to which they
send persons who go abroad In the
land making wild ana reckless state
ments. "He is making a' regular Lafferty
campaign. In fact, , the democratic
ticket should be Cox. for president and
Lafferty for vice-president..
' Peace Supreme Issue. - -
"Interest in .the campaign is grow
ing intense," said Mr. Stanfield, "and
there is a widespread demand for
such action at the polls on November
2 as will forever preserve and pro
tect our country from such terrible
conditions of disorder and misgovern
ment as prevail in Russia, for ex
ample. '
"In the opinion of a majority.' per
haps, of the leaders of both parties,
the question of paramount Importance
to be decided at the coming election
is the share the United States is to
take in the world movement to pre
vent future wars. This supreme. Issue
will be determined by the next presi
dent of the United States, Warren G.
Harding, acting in accord with the
United States senate, provided : the
next senate is republican.
"If the senate should have a ma
jority of democrats, then.heaven alone
knows what sort of a compromise
the republican president would . be
forced to accept at the hands of a
democratic senate."
Harding's Position Outlined.
Mr. Stanfield said that the great
criticism of the Wilson covenant is
directed at the surrender of Ameri
can national rights to a super-government,
composed of twenty-odd na
tions, - large and small. He quoted
Senator Harding's speech in which he
said the nations of the world looked
10 the United States alone for the
"bone and sinew, the money, the mu
nitions and the men to sustain their
entire or;;-u: :zation. not as an agency
of peace. !jui as an armed force." .
Mr. Stanfield outlined Mr. Hard
ing's position on the question of pre
serving the pea.ws fif the world as a
progressive and a constructive one
which-would consist of calling into
conference the best minds in America
regardless of party, so as to amend,
revise or reconstruct the league of
nations.
Publle Not to Be. Deceived Again.
He -quoted Senator Poindexter as
saying that America does not propose
to be made the guardian of the world
and to contribute our resources and
the chief energies of the nation ,to
the-handling of the affairs of other
nations, j He -contended that the re-cent-'elections'
showed th.-vt the trend
of the sentiment of the voters was
against the Wilson league. The Amer
ican people, he Raid, "were deceived
by one slogan, 'he' kept us out of
war.' . They will not be deceived
again.'
He predicted that not one western
state would vote tor the' Wilson
league in the present form and-stated
his belief that Mr. Harding would win
the '-election because . the. American
people had faith in- his ability and
that, of the republican party to work
out a practical plan" of world-peace
which would: not involve the surren
der of America independence, .
Protective Tariff Advocated.
He declared that Senator Harding's
position for the'relief of the American
farmer was .constructive, that, the
American farmers need a protective
tariff to preserve the high standard
of living in America and . that they
could only get that from the republi
can party.
"Our proud slogan. 'America first."1
he concluded, ;"will have a real appli
cation when the coming national ad
ministration enacts a protective tar
iff law that will ensure to the Amer
ican farmer and the American laborer
a decent living and a decent wage."
James J. Crossley presided and an
nounced that the rally to observe con
stitution day would be held at the
Central library the night of Septem-

Senator Harding Sends Telegram
to Hardlng-Coolidge Club.
Senator Harding has sent a plea-to
the voters of Oregon to elect Robert
N Stanfield to the United States sen
ate to help in the republican control
of national affairs. The plea is ex
pressed in a telegram to the Harding
and Coolidge club as follows: .
W. W. Banks, president HardinK-CoolidK
Campaign club: All who are earnestly de
sirous that the republican party shall take
control of national affairs to the end that
we may restore the health of the republic
and insure the good of the country will
wicn, as l wisn, tnat tne voters or Oregon
may find it to their best Judgment to
support Robert K. Stanfield for -United
States senator.
WARREN G. HARDING. "
The republican presidential nominee
is well aware of the campaign being
made in Oregon to elect a. democratic
senator and evidently is earnestly de
sirous that the republicans have two
senators from this state instead of
one to support his administration, es
pecially that Oregon is noted as a
banner republican state. Senator
Harding doubtless realizes that one
democrat in the senate from Oregon
may give the democrats control of
that important body whose support-is
absolutely essential to enact a re
publican programme.

(Continued From First Page.)
on matters pertaining to prohibition
as against only.-two dry votes, -and
these after Ohio had adopted prohi
bition and re-elected Governor Cox
-to enforce it."
That the Seattle newspaper had in
the past thrown its Influence in be
half of tne liquor interests" and now
made its attack upon the governor
t further partisan ends was asserted
ty Mr. Cotterill. who added that
viewing Cox's record, he. would sup
port him with .assurance that he
would "enforce the law in the United
States as he had enforced It in Ohio."
Besides the Seattle newspaper's at
tack, the Herald of Bellingham,
where the governor made' his first
speech today, sent a telegram asking
a statement from the candidate - on
prohibition and also whether he fa
vored article X of the leagrue of na
tions covenant as presented by Presi
dent Wilson, whether he approved the
"blanket indorsement of President
Wilson's administration" in the .San
Francisco- platform and other ques
tions. No reply .was made by the
governor.-
Another demand for a statement on
prohibition ana-article X came from
a . woman prohibition leader of Ta
coma .
The governor Had been contemplat
ing .- a .statement f or : some time .and
on his train today after -conferences
with Mr. Cotterill and- other advisers

gust 7, also was silent. It declared.
however, for law : enforcement and
also carried a statement that "morals
cannot easily be produced by statute."
Richmond Pearson Hobson of Ala
bama, prohibition leader, soon after
Governor Cox's nomination requested
the candidate to state his position on
prohibition and whether . he " would
veto a bill to modify the Volstead
law. No reply has been announced by
the governor. Another request came
during the governor's recent visit to
Minneapolis, when a woman, intro
ducing the candidate, said American
women desired to know the candi
date's views on amending the Vol
stead law and other subjects, but no
response was made by Governor Cox.
His Seattle speech was the climax
of Governor Cox's Washington - cam
paign. - Starting at Bellingham early
this morning upon arrival from Walla
Walla, the governor made three other
speeches today, despite the handicap
of.'severe hoarseness, at Mount Ver
non, Everett and Tacoma..
Quirt Sunday Planned.
The league of nations, the "sena
torial oligarchy", and further attacks
on republican finances and leaders
were the principal subjects of all 6f
his addresses. At Everett he spoke
to a large outdoor crowd at the base
ball . park . and to another, late this
afternoon at Tacoma. to which he
went by interurban car from Seattle.
Because of the governor's throat af
fection the plan for a-motor trip be
tween- Tacoma and Seattle . was
changed.
Governor Cox left here at midnight
for-Portland to spend a quiet Sun
day' in the hope of getting his throat
into shape for future -campaigning.
Ail Sunday engagements at Portland
were barred.
The governor will leave Portland
Sunday night to make a morning ad
dress at Salem, returning to Portland
by motor for a noon meeting at the
auditorium, where he will- be intro
duced by Senator Chamberlain.' demo
crat. He will speak to a meeting, of
women and teachers) at 3 o'clock and
leave Portland Monday afternoon to
make evening addresses at Hood River
and other points en route o Boise,
Idaho, where he speaks Tuesday. Dur
ing the . cooling week the governor
will speak through Idaho, Utah,
Nevada and California, reaching San
Francisco next Friday.
