national committee, will start his

KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Oct. 2. Gov
ernor Cox of Ohio closed his month's
western campaign trip here tonight
with a mass meeting at convention
hall, at which crowds from Missouri
and Kansas heard and cheered the
league of nations and other battle
standards of the democratic presi
dential candidate.
With special reference tonight to
the Irish question, in all ten speeches
of today's finale of his "swing"
through the west, the league was
preached by the governor. He reit
erated arguments that it was a
"pledge" to Americans in the war, a
bond of honor with the allies and a
medium for moral and material bet
terment for America and the world.
His speech tonight made a total of
l'.iO during his western trip, exclusive
of many minor greetincs,ln the 22
states all but three of those west of
the Mississippi he has visited, and a
total of 220 speeches since his notifi
cation last August. On arriving home
at Dayton. Ohio, tomorrow evening, to
rest and prepare for a trip into Ken
tucky and Tennessee late next week,
the candidate will have traveled about
11.300 miles on his western tour, or
an average of 364 miles daily since
starting out one month ago tonight.
Cox Tired hut Confident.
Great satisfaction with the results
of his western trips and confidence in
tile result of the election a month
hence were expressed by the gov
ernor. He said that from now on
the fight would bo like "coasting."
He said he was extremely tired, but.
with a few days' rest next week, ex
pressed assurance of a strong finish f
fight.
A rousing reception was given the
governor here. Arriving about 5
o'clock, he was met by a band and
escort drawn from the Legion of Honor
and women's clubs. Motoring to a
park on the Kansas side of the river,
he addressed a workingmen's meet
ing, discussing labor questions. Be
fore his auditorium address tonight
he was the dinner guest of the wom
en's clubs. Earlier in the day he
made addresses at Miami, Okla.;
Pittsburg. Kan., and Mulberry. Kan.,
and at Joplin, Richards and Hume, Mo.
Criticism of the league in this com
munity by Irish sympathizers re
sulted in an extended statement by
the governor that he proposed to
bring the Irish question to the atten
tion of the league if elected president.
The league, he reiterated, would give
the Irish people a forum, now lacking,
for bringing their cause to "the bar of
public opinion of the world."
Irixh Rights Asserted.
Under article 10, the governor de
clared, Ireland "has the right to sepa
rate from Great Britain and estab
lish its own government and to that
end may wage such internal aggres
sion as it deems necessary to accom
plish the results. This is a matter
wholly without the purview of the
league."
Charges of a "political conspiracy"
by "the senatorial oligarchy" to de
ceive the people regarding the league
were repeated by Governor Cox. He
also continued attacks on Senator
Harding as a "reactionary" and upon
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts.
Progressive government also was
championed further by the governor
and he again urged settlement of in
dustrial controversies by public opin
ion. "Big business is fighting me," he
eaid. "because 1 favor the golden rule
and not the bayonet to settle indus
trial controversies."
The national programme for ex
service men's campensation advocated
by the American Legion was approved
by the nominee in several speeches
today.
Short Trip South Next.
Governor Cox is due at Dayton at
6 o'clock tomorrow night. According
to present plans he will leave Wednes
day night on another trip, including
Klizabethtown and Paducah. Ky., and
Nashville. Tenn., preceding itineraries
In Indiana and Illinois. Most of the
east also will be covered by the can
didate before election day.
TAFT STATKMEXT IS DENIED
Charge of Attack on Associated
Tress Held Unfounded.
KANSAS CITT, Mo.. Oct. 2. Gov
V ernor Cox of Ohio, democratic presi
dential nominee, tonight issued this
statement:
"My attention has just been called
to a syndicated article by William
Howard Taft in which he makes the
misstatement that 1 have 'attacked
the Associated Press' for failing to
give to the American public a fair
account of my speeches and phases
of my campaign. This would appear
to be a part of the deliberate con
spiracy on the part of the reactionary
politicians, and one to which I am
loathe to believe Mr. Taft would
knowingly lend his name.
"Upon reaching the coast we found
that not only was the reactionary
press refusing to carry advance news
of meetings, but affidavits of repub
lican editors established the fact that
scouts of the republican organization
were demanding of the so-called re
publican press silence regarding the
meetings and suppression of the facts
after the meetings.
"In bringing these matters to the
attention of my audiences, I several
times made the statement that the
Associated Press and other press or
ganizations had representatives in my
party; that they all were carrying the
news but that reactionary editors
were failing to give their dispatches
to the public. As a matter of fact, I
have unwittingly offended represen
tatives of other press associations by
Inadvertently using the words 'Asso
eiated Press' when meaning 'press as
sociations' in complimenting them
upon the work they were doing."

TRIBUTE PAID TO MR, CRAXE
Conscientious Public Servant Gone,
Declares Harding.
MARION, O., Oct. 2. Senator Hard
ing issued this statement today when
told of the death of W. Murray Crane:
"I am greatly distressed to learn of
the passing of Mr. Crane. He was
deeply concerned about our country's
welfare. He was wise in advice, he
was intensely interested in the repub
lican party and believed it to be the
best agency of popular government.
He was a fine example of the thought
ful, earnest, conscientious public serv
ant, whose zeal was as earnest as his
methods were lacking in ostentation.
Now that he is gone his friends ought
to reveal to the world his splendid
generosities and benefactions, which
he always cloaked in accordance with
his retiring nature."

Mother and Friends Given Up by
Zlrs. France Hyde to CIfc.tr JIus
band of Murder Charge.
KANSAS CITT. Mo.. Oct. 2. Spe
cial.) After having given up mother,
friends and a large part of her for
tune to clear her husband. Dr. B.
Clark Hyde, of the charge of poison
ing Colonel Thomas H. Swope. mil
lionaire stockman, and fve members
of his family. Mrs. Frances S- Hyde's
romance ended today in the divorce
court.
Mrs. Hyde charges extreme cruelty
and violence and asks the court for
custody of their two children, a son
six years old and a daughter of four
years.
Mrs. Hyde states that she is able
financially to take care of and
educate her children and that her
husband is "not the proper person,
or properly situated or financially
able to care for them." The petition
asks also for a restraining order to
prevent the defendant from inter
fering or intruding at her home at
number 3516 Forest avenue. The
couple were married June 21, 1905,
and had lived together until August
1. 1920.
Cruelty la Charged.
The petition states further:
"The defendant disregarded the
duties of a husband and has been
guilty of repeated and constant acts
of cruelty and violence toward the
plaintiff of such a nature to endanger
her life, and has applied opprobrious
epithets to her and to her friends in
the presence of their children.
"He has by studied words and con
duct tried to estrange her children
and her friends from her and has ex
hibited a sullen, morose and cruel dis
position and demeanor and devoid of
any sentiments of affection, which has
caused the plaintiff to be in constant
fear for the welfare and lives of her
self and her children. He has ner-
sisted- in that conduct until her health.
has been undermined and her nervous
system broken down, and he has of
fered such indignities to her as to
render her condition intolerable."
Death Is Mysterious.
Mrs. Hyde was Miss Frances
Swope, niece of Colonel Thomas H.
Swope, a wealthy stockman.
On October 3, 1909, Colonel Swope
died mysteriously. In quick succes
sion five members of the Swope
household died.
Dr. Hyde was indicted for the mur
der of Colonel Swope, and at the
first trial he was found guilty, but
was saved from a life sentence by the
supreme court, which ordered a new
trial.
The second trial ended when one of
the jurors escaped The third trial, in
1S13, ended in a hung jury. The case
I was then continued eight times and
finally dropped in 1917, when the state
anil the Swope estate, which was pro
viding the expenses of the prosecu
tion, refused to finance the trial.
The divorce petition marks the end
of one .of the most remarkable exam
ples of fidelity on the part of a wife
on record.
Mother Given Up.
Mrs. Hyde gave up mother, sisters
and brothers to stand by her husband.
Day in and day out she sat in the
courtroom at the various trials of her
husband, to all outward appearances
a total stranger to her mother and the
rest of her family. No sign of recog
nition passed between them. She
spent a fortune inherited from Colo
nel Swope with lavish hand to clear
her husband.
A year or so ago Dr. Hyde was
ousted from the Jackson county medi
cal society, of which he was president
at the time he was arrested. Hyde
was alleged to have displayed a vio
lent temper and used obscene lan
guage In a letter concerning the other
members of the medical society and
a library project of the organization.
