THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, POItVTLAXD, OCTOBER 10, 1920 GOVERNOR COX RIPS ROOSEVELT J "Let Someone Set This Boy Right," Says Governor. LEAGUE FIGHT CONTINUES Senator Lodge Referred To Basest Conspirator in His tory" in Indiana Speech. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 9. The Issue of "league or no league" today was the battle cry of Governor Cox iu his southern Indiana, campaign. In 14 speeches, closing- with a mass meeting here tonight .the governor centered his fire on the Des Moines speech of Senator Harding. "The senatorial candidate, within the last three days," he said, "has de clared positively against the league. I am for the league with all my soul." Governor Cox charged Theodore Roosevelt Jr. with misstating that the league could declare war and send troops abroad. Reasserting that congress only has such authority, Governor Cox said, "some real friend of the great Roosevelt should set his boy right concerning the fundamen tals of the league. It is a pitiable spectacle to see this son of a great sire shamelessly paraded before the pub lic Out of respect for the memory of his illustrious father, some one should take this juvenile statesman aside and in primer fashion make plain what really ought to be obvious." Blasts at the "senatorial oligarchy" were continuous in the governor's tour. He reiterated charges that Sen ator Lodge was "the basest conspira tor in all history" and urged defeat of senators who signed the round-robin against the league. "Any man who signed the round robin against the most humane in strument in the world does not de serve a place in the senate," he said, referring to its signature by Senator Watson, republican, Indiana. The governor said Senator Watson was a member of the "oligarchy" and asked virtually all of his Indiana audiences to vote for Tom Taggart, democratic senatorial candidate. Governor Cox declared that today's tour was "old-fashioned American campaigning." Cheering crowds of farmers and townfolk, including wom en in sunbonnets and1 men In over alls, gave the governor warm re ceptions. HARDING STAND DENOUNCED Kepnblican Candidate Accused of Misleading Public. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 9. At tack upon the Des jnolnes speech of Senator Harding, republican presi dential candidate, was continued to day by Governor Cox of Ohio, demo cratic opponent. In a second visit of the governor to Indiana. Following up his criticism of Sen ator Harding's open stand against the league of nations. Governor Cox denied the senator's statement that President Wilson had insisted upon ratification "without the crossing of a "f or the dotting of an T," and de clared that Senator Harding should "apologize for misleading the pub lic." "In charity of judgment, I want to give the senator the benefit of the doubt, by assuming that in this mat ter he simply does not know what he Is talking about," he said. Governor Cox added that there was "more than one frank exchange" be tween. President Wilson and senators regarding league amendments, and that although' Senator Harding "dodged 1163 roll calls," he was pres ent to vote against the Hitchcock reservations. I the name of a third woman has been brought to light as a result of the ex-naval officer's bad check opera tions. Many of the smaller check which he passed In Chicago were made out In favor of Frances O Houghton of New York City. Aldrlch admitted yesterday he had spent at least one night in New York during his drunken carousal, but he insisted that the Houghton woman is a cousin of his and that he has been helping to support her and her two children. "In addition to the bad checks for about $1800 which I passed, I spent between $5000 and J6000 which I had in the bank on the party," he said yesterday. "I had just left a position paying a salary of 115.000 a year, and had two offers of better places at even higher salaries. I don't know how I happened to start passing those checks." Word received by the police bu reau yesterday states that a police detective left there Friday night for Portland. Aldrich has waivedextra dition and will return to Chicago to face the bad check and bigamy charges. He says his wife Is now there helping to. straighten -out his affairs and that his father will come to his assistance to make up any other check shortages which may be found. He also says that he has sent secured notes to three Chicago firms, which cashed his bad checks for a total of $1400,. and they are not complainants against him. VARIOUS OFFENSES CHARGED Aldrlch Accused of Desertion,, Im posture, Bigamy, Forgery. CHICAGO, Oct. 9. Glen T. Aldrich, formerly an ensign in the navy, who posed here as a lieutenant-commander and married Miss Lillian Dombrow, Oak Park society girl, took a second bride nine days later, it was learned today. Aldrich is under arrest at Portland, Or., and- a detective has been sent for him, The second bride Is Esther Carl son. The day after they were mar ried, she says, 'Vldrteh started for the coast on business and later she learned through neighbors that Miss Dombrow was seeking him on a charge of desertion and that the police had warrants for his arreet on charges of forging checks totaling $3000. SUGAR CASE 10 BE TRIED WOMEN" DECLARED ALIENATED Democrats Publish Telegram Sent Harding From California. NEW YORK, Oct. 9. Democratic headquarters today made public a telegram sent Senator Harding by Mrs. Ray Lyman Wilbur of the execu tive committee of the California Women's League for the Peace Treaty, informing the republican presidential nominee that his rejec tion of the league of nations in his speech last Thursday at Des Moines alienated the support of 30,000 women of California. The telegram was sent after a meet ing of the executive committee in Ean Francisco yesterday. It said: "Press quotes you as saying the league has now passed beyond the possibility of restoration. Under date of October 7 the Associated Press quoted you as saying in a speech at Des Moines the following: " 'I do not want to clarify these obligations. I want to turn my back on them. It is" not interpretation, but rejection, that I am seeking." "If these statements are true, it makes support of you by 30.000 wom en In California who stand for imme diate ratification of the league and treaty impossible." FIRST PRICE-RAISING PROSE CUTIOX BEGINS. Action on Charge of Profiteering Involves High Mormon Church Officials and Others. ALDRICH DENIES BIGAMY (Continued From First Pa p. ) SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Oct. 9. Charges of profiteering In sugar have been filed against the Utah-Idaho Sugar company of Salt Lake, as a corporation and its officers In the courts of Idaho, Utah and South Da kota. The Idaho case schedule" to be brought to trial October 11 at Pocatello. All the charges are the outgrowth of an increase made by the company in the wholesale price of beet sugar May 1, 1920, from $13 ,to $22.75 per hundred pounds. The increase, it was charged, was authorized at a meeting of the board of directors in April. Soon after the increase was an nounced, an investigation was started by Floyd T. Jackson, chief of the de partment of justice bureau of inves tigation of Salt Lake City. Mr. Jack son, after the investigation, charged the company with having made exor bitant profits through the selling of sugar at $22.75 per sack, declaring it cost $9.'44 to produce the sack. The Idaho case charged violation of the Lever act and cited instances of where the sugar was sold at the higher price at Pocatello, Idaho. The Utah case, to be tried in November, also, charged violation of the Lever act. Indictments in Utah were re turned against the company and its officials by a special United States grand Jury, meeting at Salt Lake in August. The South Dakota case was filed against the company last and cites ten specific instances of where sugar was sold at the advanced price at Sioux Falls. Officials of the Utah-Idaho com pany in defense of their action in raising the price of sugar declare this was done so as to make it coin cide with the price of cane sugar at the San Francisco base. Heber J. Grant, president of the Utah-Idaho company, and president also of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), was not named in any of the indictments. He was first named in the Idaho com praint, but this was amended and his name left out. Mr. Grant is declared to have been the only official present at the April meeting of the board of directors who voted against the rais ing of the price of sugar. Bail in the sum of $10,000 has been furnished in each of the three cases by all the company officers named. These are: T. R. Cutler, vice-president; C. W. Nibley, vice-president and general manager; Merrill Nibley, as sistant general manager; Stephen H. Love, sales manager; William H. Wattls. J. H. Murdock, W. S. Mc Cormlek and David A, Smith, direc tors. C. W. Nibley, vice-president' and general manager of the company, named defendant In all three cases, is presiding bishop of the Mormon church. POWER If! CONGRESS IS REPUBLICAN i Party Now to Stress Cam paign in Senate Fights. INDIANA CONTEST CLOSE Watson Opposed by Taggart Bat tle Is One of Greek Against Greek; Both Men Popular. . CHICAGO, Oct. 9. (Special corre spondence.) The last month of the campaign is faced by the republicans with every assurance of a sweeping victory in November for the national ticket. Every report from all the northern states as well as from a number of the border states Indicates an overwhelming sentiment in favor of Harding and Coolidge. Every straw vote being taken Is every por tion of the country outside the solid south shows a tremendous advantage in favor of the republican nominees. In many of the states factional dif ferences exist which may affect the state and congressional tickets, but there seems to be a unanimity of feeling on the part of republicans everywhere in favor of Harding, and added to this is a democratic support due to the anti-Wilson feeling exist ing in portions of the democratic camp, which certainly makes victory sure. Not the most surprising thing, but at the same time one of the most encouraging things from a republican standpoint, is the enthusiastic support being given Senator Harding by the women of the country.. This support 13 pronounced. Cox Trip Held Failure. Governor Cox has returned to- Day ton after his long swing around the circle. It Is felt In the east and mid dle west that his trip was a failure so far as gathering any marked sup port for his candidacy is concerned. His almost complete lack of knowl edge of the temperament of western people, coupled with the fact that the west has long been prepared for a change of administration, no doubt had much to do with his failure to strike a responsive chord. The east and middle west have not yet gotten away from the days of "mud-slinging" in politics, and politicians may still get by with that sort of stuff here; Dut the people of the west are dif ferent. Though by no means letting up on the campaign for the national ticket, which from now on will be carried on with added enthusiasm, still more at tention is to be given durinir th. present month to the various fights iyr me senate. vvitn Harding's elec tion practically a certainty, it be comes Highly important that he have a republican majority in the senate. There Is but small question about the nouse majority, but with one vote only to go. on In the senate, the im portance of the situation cannot he overlooked. It is felt that to wt Harding and then tie his hands with an opposition majority in the senate wouia De almost disastrous. Senator Harding himself is much interested in tnis phase of the campaign and in h journeys irom tne rront porch to various states, these contests are kept in mind, and he is going into those states where he can be of assistance in electing a republican to the senate The writer, being from Oregon, is frequently asked as to conditions there. It is. hard to explain a situa-' tloTt such as exists in Orego. where every report Indicates a. majority from 25,000 to 40,000 for Harding, and at the same time a question is raised as to the outcome of the senate fight.. Those charged with the responsibility . of carrying on the senatorial cam paign would like to see a gain for, the republican party in Oregon. Indiana will give a majority to ; Harding of at least 50,000, but this does not mean that Senator Watson will be returned a winner over Tom Taggarf, the democratic boss and now the nominee of his party for the senate. Watson is not "out of the woods" yet, though developments in the last ten days have strengthened him immeasurably. It ts believed in republican circles that Watson will be renlaced. but at the same time doubt still exists, and It is freely admitted that he will run behind the national ticket in. Indiana. Should he lose in Indiana that would mean a loss of one republican senator and replacing him with a democrat, which makes it ail the more important that admitted ly republican, states "vote the ticket straight." ' Greek Acalmit Greek. The Indiana situation is Interest inei it is a contest of personalities as much as anything else: practically a case of Greek meeting Greek, Horn men have extraordinary personali ties, and both men are highly regard ed, even by their political enemies. Taggart, successful in business and politics, is a wonderful example of what a roan may accomplish, in Amer ica. Coming to this country from Ire land when a boy, and as a stowavfay, her started work in Indianapolis as a waiter In the union depot. From that he gradually worked his way up until today he is one of the wealthiest men cratlc boss and absolute iictator of his party's activities In that state. The hotel business during the days before the country went dry gave him his millions. He has used his money In many acs of charity, is reputed to be kind-hearted, and hence is much loved at home. On the other hand. Senator Watson is comparatively a poor man. He must rely almost wholly upon his ability. He is perhaps one of the most wonderful orators in America. He is the type of man -who makes many friends, and his friends Idolise him; at the same time he makes bit ter enemies. He has always been ac tive in church affairs, and it is sail that he can occupy the pulpt and de liver a sermon as well as if not better than any minister of the gospel in Indiana. WALTER.

I his marriage to Miss Carlson at Great Falls is his first and only mar riage. He showed a letter yesterday he had received from her in which she still maintained her faith In him and promised to stick by him through his present troubles. In a letter received by the police detective bureau yesterday. Aldrich is reported to have left Chicago in the uniform of a captain In the navy. He was seen wearing this same uni form in Portland. He denies having worn it in Chicago, and. also denied that he ever had a uniform with the tars and insignia of a lieutenant commander in the navy. On the day that the Chicago police Bay he married Lillian Dombrow of Oak Park. Aldrich says he was, stag ing the big two weeks drunk which caused his downfall. He says he does not think it possible that he could have married any woman while so drunk. Aldrleh Can Still Joke. "It seems as though I would at least remember my wife's name if I had done it," he said with a smtle. But when he was informed that . Chicago newspapers had used pictures of himself in his naval uniform to gether with that of his first wife on the occassion of their marriage, he grew extremely nervous. Deputy District Attorney Delch ex pressed the belief that Aldrich had assurance that bis father, a packer of Nebraska City, Neb., had agreed to come to his assistance, and that Aldrich now is laying all the blame on the liquor he says he drank. The local prosecutor believes that Aldrich will attempt to say that his alleged dual marriage was the result of the drinking party.
