By David Lawrence

Reno. Nev 8pt 21. Nevada Is
a lo3 state thia year. Normally It
la Democratic by a comfortable ma
jority, although the majority ot
' SOOO, vb'.ch Wilson got in mi, wss
overwhelming-. Only about iS.OOO
to 4M00 votes are ultimately cast,
tod 1000 la virtually a 10 per cent
majority.
The" Republican who think Harding
wait vprr v v - vjwisi, v -w
win by SO Totes. That le how close they
figure majorities In a small state.
The Republican optimism Is besed en
tirely upon the disaffection among the
Democrats ane the continued murmur
Inge which have been going on agatns
the Wilson administration. The Repub
lican leaders estimate the shift of Dem
ocrats to Harding will be considerable,
but disinterested observers do not be
lieve It will be enough.
HTATK FOR COX
Oovernor Cox will set Nevada's three
electoral voles, though it must be re
corded here, for whatever significance it
may have, that the political wayfarer
encounters high Republican hopes in
States that are normally Democratic,
and a shake of the head and a bit of
anxiety, though by no mean despair,
among- the Democratic leaders in these
tme states.
TV. (,,,lh ,w mmUMr la that namrt.
crStic prospects have been at low ebb
everywhere In the West for many
months and that whatever Republicans
may ssy shout the effect of Oovernor
Con's trip, this great and vital Influence
has been exerted by him over the con
gress In the West. He has stimulated
the working Democrats everywhere. He
has put backbone and "pep" In the rank
' and file.
LIKED MeADOO
Many ef them were originally for Me
Adoo and didn't know a thins; about
Cox until they read his speech of ac-
oeptance.
Now they have seen the man himself
and In nine esses out of ten the effect
has been Instantaneous for, aa a political
mixer and enthusiast, Oovernor Cox's
magnetic personsllty Is unexcelled.
Right here in Nevada, where Senator
Henderson, Democrat, Is s candidate for
reelection and Is certain to win, there Is
factional strife In the Republican party,
and Henderson, who is a conservative
candidate, counts upon a big Republican
vote.
COX SWATS TIDE
The tald Henderson Is reported to have
bee en worried by Cox's entry into the
state- Things were running- Henderson's
way without dragging the national ticket
and Its handicaps Into the situation.
Kvsn the League of Nations was sort of
taboo as a topic of discussion, hut Oov
eraor Cox aurprieed Henderson and
everybody else by' the Impreaaiveness of
hie argument on the league and by hie
own forceful character. While it might
be' disputed how many Republican voters
were acquired, there could be no doubt
that the Democrats and those instinct
ively friendly to the Democratic cause,
but straying from Wilson lesdershlp
now. are disposed to stick In line under
the Cox leadership.
Henderson will run away ahead of
Cog on the. Democratic ticket So will
Senator Phelan in California who, too,
la understood to have been worried about
the effect of the Cox trip on his own
chances.
He is reported to be feeling much bet
ter since Cox himself -put punch Into
-the Democratic campalg-n and said'a few
stirring words abopt Senator Phelan's
record-
Californians. who will tell you that
Phelan has a good chance of reelection,
will hardly say that Oovernor Cox has
as good an opportunity to carry the
gtsta's electoral vote.
. SPEECHES ARE CONFIDENT
As a matter of tact, Oovernor Cox's
vnole attitude Is one of confidence. He
shows In his speeches that he believes
absolutely in victory. Instead of say
ing .'If I am elected I will appoint a
secretary of the interior from the West."
he says flatly "after March 4 next, I will
appoint, eta."
He doesn't use the potential mood at
alL Ha takes It for granted that he
will be elected. That Is one way to
stimulate Democratic workers and any
Other kind of political organisers. There
can be no question that Republicans,
even in the doubtful states, have worked
with twice as much entrusiasm as they
normally do, simply because the betting
and other signs indicate to them a Re-'
publican victory. Conversely, depression
in the Democratic ranks is due to the
apparent certainty of Republican tri
umphs, produced by Republican news
papers on the theory that the country
wants a change.
If tomorrow some sensational congres
sional thing happened to turn the tide
towards the Democrats, they would
work 100 per cent harder.
APATHY 15 0. 0. P.
The Democratic morale has been low,
due to disorganisation at the national
headquarters and lack of funds. It

confronted with the probable loss of all
the New England Atlantic seaboard, the
more important of the Middle Western,
mountain and Pacific coast states thst
Theodore Roosevelt drove Into the Demo
cratic columns eight years sgo and
Woodrow Wilson kept there. They fully
realise the tremendous obstacles that
must be successfully negotiated during
the remaining it daye of fighting.
Among Democratic troubles of vital
importance are contributions from groups
of voters of alien origin end ancestry
Irish, Italian. Polish and Russian-Jews,
plus Intense prejudice against President
Wilson personally and hia administra
tion generally.
LEAGUE WORRIES O. O. P.
Republican leaders are quite certain
that they have sowed the seeds of dis
sent too solidly to be uprooted, no matter
how valiantly their rivals spade and turn
over. But the Democrats are going to
tackle the task by attempting to prove
that the Republican campaign is "an
emotional fake" due to clever profes
sions! manipulations. The ' Republicans
ar ready to fight it out on that line,
confident that' the Democrats cannot win
a single 'doubtful." state, such as New
York, West Virginia. Ohio. Kentucky,
Illinois or Indiana, essential to Demo
cratic succees but not entirely vital to
the Republicans.
The Republican troubles, as revesled
by the leaders of that party, are few.
and only one is really important.
Of course this is the League of Na
tions. Many of the Republican leaders
view it with ' more or less alarm. To
them It is surcharged with explosive po
tentialities that may causa a great deal
of damage or only a little mischief.
WORKKUS DISTURBED
The attitude of Governor Co is con
ceded by many Republican leaden to
call for no further Illumination : that of
Harding Is uncertain. Reports from Re
publican state leaders indicate a dis
turbing division of sentiment among
voters.
Leaders holding antagonistic views re
garding it generally arree that Harding
must make another effort to define his
exact attitude. There's the rub. If he
surrsnders to the advocates of slightly
diluted reservations to the league cove
nant, he runs the danger of incurring
the wrath of the Irreconcilable groups
headed by Johnson and Borah. If he
does not, he may lose the support of a
very large number of Repubncans who
accept the judgment of Klihu Root.
Former President Taft and Former At
torney General Wickersham. As also
an Impressive array of public men who
are, normally. Republicans.
TAFT SOT IHV1TED
The Republican -candidate has dodged
a "show down" up to date, but they
frankly admit that one cannot be de
ferred much longer.
The fact that former President Taft
has not been invited to take the stump
fur Harding la most significant. Whether
Root will be is yet to be determined.
Some of the hardbolled professional
leaders and one or two staunchly Re
publican newspapers have already
started to read Taft out of the Repub
lican party, because of his "apostasy."
One oi the most Important of the na
tional Republican leaders said Friday,
day :
"To turn Taft loose would be to Invits
a dog fight with the Johnson-Borah
groups, who have been tamed by Hard
ing's declaration of hostilities to the
league project. They are none too docile
at best, and if we turn loose Taft and
Root, with their pronounced friendly
conviction there's likely to be hell to
pay. I hope Taft -and Root will appre
ciate the very great service they can
render the party by going Caning.

The: only explanation to be obtained
t Republican headquarters Thursday tor
tne iiuire of the national committee to
Invite Taft to take a hand In the cam

to It ; he'll probably speak later on."
Taft'a admirers are quite aa positive the
other way. They make no secret ot their
determination to have Harding further
elucidate his stand on the leajrue before
President Wilson and Oovernor Cox start
s palling his position.

CONIRAD CTORY N
DENTOn MYSTERY
Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 25. (I. N.
S.) New clue regarded as of great
Importance, and as. corroborating the
startling theory that Jacob C. Den
ton, rich retired mining man, be
lieved to havs been murdered at his
mansion here, may be still alive, were
discovered today.
First, It was disclosed that Mrs. R. C.
Peete, who lived at the Denton home and
who acted as Denton's real estate agent,
wrote a letter to a Los Angeles business
man stating that Denton had written to
her from New York on September 17.
Second, it was ascertained that checks
written by Denton, were cashed at the
Farmers' Merchants' National' bank
here as late as June 18.
Third, a check given Denton for $1000
was deposited by him at the Farmers' it
Merchants' National bank on June 1.
It now has been established that Den
ton was last seen alive by relatives on
May 29, and previous to today's dis
closures no evidence that he was alive
after that date was available except In
the statements of Mrs. Peete.
Police Detective Charles Jones, who Is
assigned to the district attorney's office,
announced that Mrs. Peete claimed in a
letter to a Los Angeles man that she
had heard from Denton in New Tork
September 17, nearly four months alter
his reported disappearance.
Jones said that Mrs. Peete'a letter waa
available, and that if she Is able to pro
duce the letter from Denton September
17. it will completely refute the theory
that the body found in the South Cata
Una Street mission that of the
wealthy retired min'.ig man and broker.
The check for $1000 which Denton
deposited on June 1 was given him by
C. H. Thompson of a local real estate
firm. The money had been put up by
Denton as security for the purchase of
a lot
WROTE LETTER MAT ft
It was ascertained today that on
May 29 Denton dictated a letter to the
realty concern to Miss Betty Blackwell,
a public stenographer, at a down-town
hotel. In the letter Denton pointed out
that deeds having been promised to
the property within a specified time,
and having not been delivered, he de
sired a return of his deposit money.
In concluding the letter Denton said:
"Please attend to this at once, as I
wish to leave for the Cast Tuesday
morning, the first."
The letter written by Denton and
the canceled check were turned over
to Superior Judge Rusa Avery, who
formerly acted as Denton's attorney
and who is taking an active part in
the investigation to clear the mystery
of the murder.
Judge Avery declared today that the
letter and check form one ot the most
helpful pieces of evidence brought to
light so far In the Investigation. He
Identified the signatures and called po
lice detectives to refer the clues to
them.

because-a grindstone, a "sang" hoe and
bones were blown from the grave of his
great-grandfather and then be forced
to fight the legal battle over and cross
the continent to do It, la the experience
of I. M. Lester of Lewis, In the extreme
eastern end of Lewis county.
When Lester disposed of land in West
Virginia he retained a tract occupied by
a cemetery,' in which wers buried many
relatives. Including his great-gTand-'
father, who had taken East with him
from a Western trip a grindstone. The
people In that section then, said Lester,
had always been forced to cut grind
stones from native rock, and they were
ungainly things and bard to work with.
IS
Just one hour was required by
the Jury in Circuit Judge Benham's
court Friday to reach a verdict in
the case of the state against Alvin
Benolt, charged with assault with
Intent to kill Louise Bender on the
night of June 2. The verdict was
"guilty of assault wltfi a dangerous
weapon." Time of pronouncing sen
tence has not been Indicated. The
maximum penalty is Imprisonment
for 10 years.
Benolt entered the Bender's house
through a window and beat the 15-year-old
girl over the head with a stick of
wood as she lay sleeping In her bed.
The noise aroused her father, and he
rushed toward the assailant, who also
beat him over the head and then escaped.
Benolt lived next door and was a la
borer at the municipal docks, handling
grain. He wore overalls turned up st
the bottom, and after his escape grains
of wheat dropped from this fold were
found at the window, where he had
climbed through. When officers visited
his room they found more wheat in the
folds of the overalls. He was taken to
the police station, and there made a full
confession of all the details.
At the trial Benolt claimed that his
mind was an utter blank as to the visit
to the Bender, house and the attack. The
defense was made for him that he had
suffered a sunstroke six years ago and
since then had been subject to fits of
depression and severe headaches.
Benoit's wife and baby were In court
during the entire trial.
