about the kingship, although the
election date is only about three

surprise. .
While he Is not seeking the post
Knowland's friends declare he has
earned it as a consistent worker
for the welfare of the uniformed
boosters, and his qualifications
for the - Job are enumerated.
Knowland is one of Salem's ready

can arise to most any occasion
and is considered to have organ
izing ability. '

Executive Unthinkable .
TOILERS V0CIFERI0US
IN THEIR APPLAUSE
Candidate Declares Big
Business Opposed to His
Progressiveness
HUNTINGTON. W. Va,, Oct.
. Governor Cox of Ohio an
nounced today that if elected
president he wouTflsit down with
the senate and make an "agree
ment" upon the league of nations
and that his agreement should
be determined by the senatorial
elections.
Control by. Executive Approved.
"The executive will,' the Dem
ocratic presidential candidate
said, should not control and it is
"unthinkable," he- tVpclared, . that
American membership in the
league should be postponed two
years, when the next senatorial
election is held. American mem
bership, he indicated, was the
primary consideration. ' He re
iterated he favored American par
ticipation with "clarifying reser
vations." Hailed by members of the gov
ernor's party as one of the most
important of campaign develop
ments, hi 'announcement was in
response to an open letter sent
today to him and his Republican
opponent. Senator Hardng, by 50
of their supporters urging them
tot accept whatever revision of the
Lodge reservations two-thirds of
the sent senate might approve.
The governor's statement, is
sued during a rushing West Vir
ginia tour today, read:
Clarifying . IteserratJons.
The situation is this: I favor
going into the existing- league
with clarifying reservations. Sen
ator Harding has said that he
was not interested in clarifica
tion, but in, rejection. . I have
every expectation that after No
vember 2 much of the partisan
ship' spirit that has been visited
upon discussion of the league
will have subsided. One-third of
the seats of the senate are to be
filled this year. The people un
derstand the issue and we will
accept their expression at face
value. I .will, therefore, sit down
with the senate and reach an
agreement about our going into
this league. There is no other,
and any talk of a new association
Is but an idle phrase. The im
portant thing is to get a start and
help to stabilize world conditions
which vitally affect the interest
and welfare of America. For ns
to remain out of the league for
two years or until another elec-'
ticn could be held would be un
thinkable. Much has to be given
In compromise now, in order to
Insurance our entrance into the
league, the people themselves
will have an opportunity to mod
ify and correct later. It cannot
be a matter of the exercise of
merely the ' executive will. The
popular will; as voiced at the
polls, must control. The sort of
agreement which I 6hall be en
abled to obtain will be determ
ined byj the senatorial elections."

the Interviews:
"M. Bourgeois. t0 the American
correspondents. last night, said
he had been astonished to see the
political discussion in America
centered around article ten on the
covenant. .
"Article 10 is not. In fact, any
thing more than the moral foun
dation of the covenant. All that
13 efficacious in the covenant is
set forth in other articles indi
cating penalties and sanctions."
M. Bourgeoise, in the course of
his statement to the correspon
dents, said that. article ten could
be eliminated without In any way
modifying the effectiveness of the
league, and declared that it was
not considered so important- by
Europeans as Americans.
At the close of the Interview
and after M. Rourgeohs had with
drawn, the question was raised
among the American correspon
dents as to the effect of his ut
terances on the presidential elec

thereupon agreed to withhold the
statement until M. ' Bourgeois
could review it in this light and
give hla authority for its publi
cation. M. Comert informed the corre
spondents tills morning that he
had explained to M. Bourgeois the
importance of the remarks and
requested M. Hourgeois to say
whether he intended them to be
published in the United Stater.
M. Iknirgeois replied, M. Com
