N COX SUSPECTS RIVAL
OF i-PACT PLEDGE
Harding Asked if Letter Was
Written Johnson.
TALKS MADE IN WYOMING
Ohio Governor Intimates Agree
ment Was Made to Insure
Californiau's Support.
CHTJYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 25. Gov
ernor Cox during his presidential
campaign today In Wyoming, asked
fco-nalor Harding, his republican op
ponent. If he had not written to Sena
tor Jt'hnson of California a letter to
hold the Californian's support by Riv
InK "a direct and unreserved pledge
arrsiir.st the league of nations.
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,

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.

the question it was decided to try
out the New York-Shreveport catoe,
which is typical of acfione pending
in other states where intrastate rates
are in conflict with interstate rates.
In Oregon, however, the intrastate
and interstate rates are identical, but
notwithstanding this the local com
mission desires to ascertain the ex
tent of its authority and thereby has
joined in the action originating- In
New York. The arguments and briefs
will be submitted to the interstate
commerce commission, before which
body the ease win be tried.
W. C. XVUU.es Back In Portland.
W. C. Wilkes has returned to Port
land to take up his work as general
sales manager for the Northern Flour
Mills company. He was formerly con
nected with the traffic department
of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
railway, from which he resigned while
the line was under federal control to
become identified with the Ravelll
mills in Montana, a subsidiary of the
Northern Grain & Warehouse com
pany of this city. ,

that the Tamniaiy leaders might al
ways count on. 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
