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.

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.

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. L TOOZE JR.

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.
