"The women are less partisan than the men folk and with them the election will be a matter of men and measures not party labels. That means, of course, that Cox and the Democratic platform are in the ascendency, for Cox is the man and the Democratic platform is the forward looking document women are looking for. "Women are taking a deep Interest in California politics, as was indicated by the fact that they cast a heavier pro portionate primary vote than did the men. They are studying political issues, disregarding political lines, and are in dependent In their sentiments.

Witk scandal envelop ing the affairs of Republican 'headquar ters.' the Republican presidential candi date is silent" The reception accorded Cox here was one of the noisiest and most enthusiastic of the tour. His first speech this morn ing was delivered to a crowd of about 500 on the station platform, and his "fighting phrases" drew applause many Umes. The crowd stood storing a light shower. PROMISES MORE FIGHT Before he started his attack on the Re publican campaign fund, some one in the crowd yelled, "Step on It." "Boys. I shall continue to step on that Republican slush fund from mw until November," he replied. After the station speech he was taken to the Interstate fair grounds for an other speech. He was scheduled to leave Spokane about noon. The Cox special train is scheduled to stop this afternoon at Sprague, Ritzvllle. Connell and Walla Walla. At the latter place the governor '.s to speak tonight. By Herbert W. Walker Spokane, Wash., Sept 10. (U. P.) The mothers and young men will vote this fall to have the United States enter the league of Nations, Governor James M. Cox predicted here, this morning In opening his two days' stump Invasion of Washington. Speaking at the station first before a meeting of young men who will cast their first vote this fall, the Demo cratic candidate asserted that the moth ers and the men In the service "know what war is," and that they desire to make international conflict impossible. I-ater he was to speak before the state fair and start his tour through Wash ington. A large crowd greeted him at the nation. Cox boosted the candidacies of for mer service men now seeking public of -J fice. saying that in general these young men stand for progressive government. "I have heard it naid under certain conditions that this man or that man was not Qualified for thla nlace or that for congress, because it is silly to con template the Idea that this young man could be elected. "I predict that this old reactionary is going- to have an awakening on election day. because the people of the United States recognize that those who were old enough to fight the battles of the country in the trenches overseas are j old enough to serve that same country in any capacity. j "It was the young men of America who won the war, and it ia up to the young men of America to see that peace Is ratisfied in order that the result of their effort may be brought to com- r pletlon." The governor arrived at Spokane by speclal train about 10 o'clock. On his special car this morning he gave a mountain trout breakfa? to the news- , paper men. j Ciovernor Cox made 21 speeches in Montana during the last two days. I Spokane and Walla Walla were two ! main stops on his itinerary, although Washinpton Democrats have chartered a special train and ptn to call upon toe governor for several rear platform talk. 1 Today begins the aecond week of the . covernor's nation-wide stump trip and Us flRht'np spirit appears to be gaining i momentum as he pushes farther into the j West. His physical condition, despite ( the fact that he has made 57 speeches tn one week, still is excellent. The gov- , ernor's first appearance today was at i the state faiT in Spokane.

WOMAN TESTIFIES SUE AIDED IN COLLE4TTIONS By James L. Kilgallrn (Unitad News Staff OomnpoDdtat) Chicago. Sept. 10. Women have reached the stage In practical politics where their activities are being investi gated by a committee appointed by tbe United States aenate. But, be It aaid In their behalf, nothing sinister or corrupt concerning their po litical work has been brought to light The contrary ia true. If the testimony of Bertha E. Bauer, an aVtractJve Chicago woman of the Intellectual type- who ap peared lata Thursday before the senate committee Investigating campaign ex penditures, can be taken as a criterion. KTA SITES ESS MISSED Mrs. Bauer, dressed in licht gray and black, with hat to match, told the story of her raising money for the Republican party in an alert, straightforward man ner, which was In marked contrast to the evasive tactics used by many of the men witnesses who have been testifying for days. "I am collecting funds because I con sider it a patroilic duty." she informed the committee with a spirited tilt of her head. She said she Is vice chairman of the Republican ways and means committee of Illinois and In charge of the women's division. She ts a volunteer worker and at no time has been paid a salary. Up to date she has raised 1350.000 for the party, she testified. When she start-: ed In the work, ahe told Fred W. Upham. the national treasurer, she thought the women should raise between $80,000 and $100,000, or approximately one-seventh of the Illinois quota, or $700, OOO. The amount she has collected so far came from 8S9 contributors. ONE FOR t 000 "We oWlalrted one Fiibscripl ion of $2000, 13 of $1000 and then all the way down to 25 cents." she said. Kxplainlng the $2000 subscription, which is double the maximum the nation;! treasurer hai testified he has set, she eaid it was di vided into two fiscal years. $1000 for each year. She had understood that this was perfectly legitimate, she said. Chairman Ken yon observed in a list of ' contributors Mrs. Bauer had sub mitted that Mrs. Lphan was down for $1000. "Was that $1000 turned over to Mr. Upham 7" he asked. "Yes, sir." replied the witness with a smile. HOMES RESPONSIBLE Senator Reed, who has shown some belligerency toward Republican witness e cpecinlly paid workers, was consid- erate of the feminine witness, lie asked if she was active in the Chicago drive just begun to raise $.".011,000 in a week. She said she was not in any way con nected with this movement. In reply to another question fhc said: "It is rather new for women to con tribute to a campsicn fund, "hut since they assume the privileges, they also assume the responsibilities." "Have you any sinister purpose in raising these fund.s, Mrs. Raucr?" asked Senator Kenyon. I "No." she replied, "the best purpose in 1 the world " I Senator Pnmerene broke in to say. hu ! morously, "I that to be considered a re j flection on us Democrats'"" "No, it is not," she said as she left the j stand, giving the entire committee a bright smile.
