The democratic candidate's quest lorn to Senator Harding were pro pounded at Laramie late today, prior to the governor's address here to night. (jovernor Cox's ctatement and In terrelations follow: "On Tuesday, Senator Johnson of California said that he was fining to support Senator Harding because the senator intended to scrap the leajtue. Senator Johnson speaks as though he has a very definite assurance from Senator MardinjL? and I am prepared to believe that it amounts to some thins more than the declaration which was made in his. formal speech of acceptance. I should like to ask Senator Harding to answer this question: tuentinn I'll ( to Flardlnfc. " T)id you or did you not write Johnson a letter? Did you or did you not in that letter say to Senator John eon that his interpretation of your po sition as announced in your speech of iceptance was correct? In short, did ju or did you not, by letter, give to Senator Johnson for the purpose of holding his support throughout the campaign a direct and unreserved pledge that you were against the league as Senator Johnson is against the league?' "If such a letter Is in existence. It oucht to be given to the people. It will certainly form an Interesting part of the literature of this cam paign. 'Now, then, watch the newspapers and let us see whether we will be able to bring to public view that mysterious letter. Time will tell and we will see whether there is such a letter." nil? ItuNtneMft Denounced. Progress! vism end non-parttsanship In vo'.ing on present issues also wure urged by the governor and he re iterated denunciations of "big bust r.css" and the "senatorial oligarchy" v-ith further recitals of the alleged "conspiracy of Hllence" charged to Chairman Hays of the republican la tional committee, who, the governor lepcatod, had sent agents to republic an editors to minimize the Cox cam piiign. The governor reached Laramie late. about 4 o'clock, speaking in a the ater there and returning for his nlhr. address here. Karlier in the day. at l-lreeley, Colo., the Kovernor declared opposition to an American mandate over Armenia, advocated ' a farm and a home" as a substitute for a bonus to former service men, and reiterated his jiositlon on prohibition enforcement. The candidate was introduced at Iaramie by N. E. Corthell, an attor ney, and here by Senator Kendrick. State Chairman Hilton, P. J. Quealy, National Committeeman Koss and other Wyoming democrats accom panied the governor to Laramie. In discussing the league tonieht. Governor Cox deniert that it would create a super-government, quoting a similar denial by former President Tuft. Wfitero Development Vrffed. 'It does nothing of the kind," said the governor, reiterating that con gress only may declare war and send American troops Into combat. "Stop building battleships and maintaining a large standing army and develop our natural resources. I see possibili ties in the west for the greatest de velopment in our history and the cost of one battleship would reclaim two million acres of arid land." Governor Cox said the league al ready was at work and proving suc cessful, having prevented war only last week between Foland and Lithua nia. The governor will remain here over Sunday and on Monday tour Nebras ka, with South Dakota, Kansas and .Missouri to follow during the last week of his western trip, which closes pext faaturday at Kansas City, 30URB0N CRISIS SHOWN (Continiird From First Page.) . there he held the Wilson strength of 1916. In one of them he grained some votea from Hughes, while holding all the Wilson votes. Tonng: Men Switch Straw vote canvassers report that most of the "switchingr" from one party to another Is being done by comparatively young men. They say that rarely does a man of 40 or over vote anything except a straight party ticket. Among ex-service men, the canvass ers say was a great deal of oppo sition to the Wilson administration because of the bonus proposition. The canvassers estimate that the great majority of the ex-service men who have voted in these polls have cast their ballots In favor of Harding. .Next week the straw man expects to have a larger number of ballots from Connecticut and will be able to form a definite opinion of the situa tion in that state now considered as "doubtful" territory.

With the present defection, if it continues, even the Tammany state and local tickets may be swept to defeat. One of the most significant polls taken during- the week was one in the Green-point sec tion of Brooklyn.-exclusively an Irish- American neighborhood. Leagcne Causes Defection. The enrolled democratic strength of that district Is 23,000, the en rolled republican strength is only 8000. In previous elections the demo cratic majority have always cor responded to the difference as repre sented by the enrollment figures. In the straw man's poll of the main street of the district last week Harding broke even witn Cox. Many of the men who voted in this poll said they intended to vote for Harding in order to "keep England from bossing the United States." They expressed their bitter hostility to the league and branded it as a British plot to enslave Ireland and India. There are indications that many of the Tammany leaders are not thor oughly informed of the extent of the defection in the ranks. Some of the politicians in Green Point, , for in stance, were astonished when they learned of the result of the straw man poll of that section. They are firm in the belief, however, that things will straighten themselves out before elec tion time. Debs makes Gain. Cox's percentage in New York has dropped slightly during the week, while his percentage in New Jersey has risen. His standing in New York is now 34.7 per cent against 36.6 per cent last week. His standing- in New Jersey is now 35.6 pur cer t as com pared with 34.6 per cent last week. Harding's percentage in New York has also dropped slightly, being now 54.7 per cent, as compared with 65.1 per cent last week. His percentage in New Jersey is now S7.7 per cent, as compared with 57.2per cent last week. Iebs and Christensen are the gainers by the losses of the two leaders. The increase In the Cox percentage in New Jersey is due to the irood showing which he made in polls taken In Passaic In- most pi the votes, Kx-Marlncs to Plan Club.
