COX SUPPORTERS PLANS I DISARRANGED BY ITINERARY Plana of Cox supporters in Oregon to entertain the Democratic presidential candidate on his Western tour were completely tnrown out of gear Thursday with , the a telegraphed ; revision , of - the itinerary which brings him to Oregon during September 13 and 13. Dr. - C. 'X.TSmniCSOrte democratic chairman, is endeavoring to have the national committee change the itinerary of Governor Cox so that opportunity for an evening meeting in Portland will be afforded. Arriving at 7 :20 : Sunday morning, the Democratic presidential nominee could not be expected to I de liver a Sunday address and His depar ture at ; 6 o'clock Monday afternoon would not permit an evening weekday meeting. ( .j . ; Dr. Smith has telegraphed in an ! en 'deavor to show the makers of the itin erary that such an arrangement .'would do practically no good in, Oregon, as an evening meeting in Portland is essential. Tentative) -arrangements previously made and apparently confirmed Thurs day! by a letter to Dr. C. J. Smith, , from A. R. Titlow, Democratic national committeeman of Washington, included a visit to Oregon and Washington dur ing: the four days of September 15, 16, - 17 and 18. - r' The tentative plan was for Cox to come through Utah and Idaho directly to Eastern Oregon, giving addresses at Baker, LaG rand e and Pendleton, then " swinging over into Washington, - speak ing, at Seattle or other points as may be arranged for his 48-hour sojourn, land then coming back to Oregon, with Port land as the objective. , ( It had been the hope of the Democra tic '.campaign -managers to have Cox in : Oregon for a speech at Pendleton at the i. time of the famous Round-Up," when at least 30,000 people will be assembled from Washington, Idaho and Oregon.

Governor Cox has charge that there was a plot among a doml nating group of Republican senato: to defeat the League of Nation an,d that this senatorial cabal : con trolled the Chicago convention an brought about the nomination of Harding to serve its purposes. I Is this mere campaign talk or Is ther evidence to support It? The purpose here is to exhibit some of tne evidence, and to confine the exhibition toRepublican sources, since the evident that ivmn. c rats' . offer might be discounted as pol- - jlICai. . : . FIGHT AG AlJiST RATIFICATION It seems probable that what' Governor Cox most had in mind Is the conduct-of-certain senators in making attacks on - the league before they knew what tt contained, their - efforts to make the treaty public before it was officially pub lished, and the famous round robin of 39 Republican senators who banded to gether in March 1319 as well as the way the senate committee was carefully organised 'against it and the way the senate - fight against ratification was conducted.
