Borah of Ida ho, in a speech tonight, denounced ''arbitrary, and repressive laws passed during the. war." . Asserting that' repeal of theso laws would be "one of the first tasks -for the republicaji party when given power," the senator declared some of the measures were. ''far more drastic and arbi ' trary than necessary even in time of war, and are wholly intolerable in time of peace." . ;"Xaws Must Be Repealed "Some were plainly In violation ' of the constitution but passed un der the vicious theory that the constitution Is suspended in time of war," he said. , "But necessary or unnecessary." he added, "constitutional or un constitutional, they, should 'no longer be permitted to menace , those rights and privileges which free and forward-looking peo ple should at all times enjoy.-Some of . these laws are relics of 200 years ago and curtail rights as old as the government itsejf. "Let us live ' again under the constitution and not be afraid of other men's opinions.

Oho. Oct. 26 On the eve of his departure fori his final speaking trip, a lour-day circuit cf Ohio cities. Senator Harding again directed the attention of the public today to two of the issues tbat have been in the forefront of his campaign, the protective larui ana mo league or nations Protective policy. "A prompt return" to a policy of protecting American products was promised by the Republican nominee -in a telegram to Paul A. Ewert of Joplin. Mo., made pub lic as a part of his attack on the Democratic tariff program. He declared that "disaster'' had been brought to mining and industrial interest's through failure to prop erly protect American products and that now American agricul ture was sharing a similar fate. His comment on the league was in the course of an informal dis cussion of a recent interview with Leon Bourgeois, president of the league council. The .latter's views, he said, furnished further evidence" that the only safei wav for the United States was " to re main outside until we may unite upon a plan for an association of nations that shall mean i the same to everybody." .

His voice, which a ad been affect ed by Na slight c,old, showed Im provement. During the afternoon a glee club from Troy, Ohio, marched to the front porch and serenaded tbe ..nominee and Mrs. Harding with political Fongs. The sena tor made a short speech, thank ing them for the visit and for their support. Article : X Nonessential. The statement of M. Bourgeois was contained in an Associated Press dispatch from Brussels. In it he declared that article1 10 was "not, in fact, anything more than the moral foundation of the cove nant," and added: "Article ten could be eliminated without in any way modifying the effectiveness of the league of na tions and that it was not consid ered so important by Europeans as Americans." ' "This is most illuminating." said Senator Harding. "We are told by the great American auth ority on fhe covenant. President Wilson. I that article ten is its heart. Now comes M. Bourgeois, president of the league council, and says it is not important. Other Articloi Stand. "He informs us that 'all that is efficacious in the covenant Is set forth In other articles.' This can only mean that,, even If article ten is eliminated, its effect would still be preserved in other arti cles. Doubtless he means that if article ten were eliminated, ar ticle eleven would still have the same effect.

It has not been possible for the secretary's office to compile the figures as yet according to male and female registrations.

Democratic and the miscellaneous registration, but a decrease in the registration of Prohibitionists and Socialists. The figures prior to the special elec tion of June. 1919, were: Re publicans, 187.873; Democrats. 80.321; Prohibition. 5800; So cialist, 575.; miscellaneous, 9,- 941; total. 289,890.

State Commissions Are Pre venting Rehabilitation of Railroads NEW YORK .Oct. 26. State railroad commissions which are holding up? operation of recent freight rate increases are doing more than any other agency to prevent rehabilitation of railroad properties. George II. Ingalls, vice president or the New York Central lines, told an audience or business men at the TraHic club of New York, here tonight. Speaking on the subject of in creasing efficiency In rail trans portation. Mr. Ingalls commend ed the Interstate Commerce com mission, which, he said, "met the issue in a broad and constructive manner and endeavored to grant the carriers, sufficient increase in their revenues to enable them to re-habilitate themselves. He declared tbat. notwith standing the fact that state com missions were represented on the body which fixed the new rates. "only 18 of tbem have approved the new rates without any ex ceptions; 12 have accepted the new rates with a variety of ex ceptions and amendments, all tending to curtal the carriers' revenues, and 17 have definitely refused to grant the new sched ules. Rates ln the country, Mr. In galls asserted, are much less than abroad, the increases in the I'nited States having amounted to 67 per cent since 1914. while in creases in foreign countries have ranged during the same period from 114 per cent in the Lnited Kingdom to 390 per cent In Aus tria. ! Three marks have been set up railroad traffic men as tbe effi ciency goal to be attained, Mr Ingalls said. They are: "To Increase the average freight car mileage to 30 miles per day; "To increase the average load per freight car to not less ,than 30 tons; 1 "To reduce th? passage of 'bad order cars to not more than 4 per cent of the total. "Each one of these." he said, "would constitute a great stride toward giving the nation that adequate transportation service j without which our commerce and industries cannot expand produc tion and general prosperity made to prevail." Mrj. Ingalls said it was a good omen that already in 1920, past transportation records have beea broken. Interstate commerce commission figures, he said, show that last July the railroads of the country recovered 40,232 mil lion ton miles, "far the largest month's operation since April. 1916, and probably the greatest in the history of railroads." "The same statistics," he add ed, "show that despite the 'out law' railroad strikes which re stricted operation in April and May. more freight was handled in the first seven months of this year . than In tbe same period of any preceding year and that 1920 as a whole will show a record of freight service by the railroads exceeding any earlier year, in his tory."

"I have found that America Is not so much concerned in . tbe words we .use in keeping our pledge." he said, "as It Is that the meaning be clear and that the only possible step now available bs taken to kep wars mm be ing started in the future." Attacks Harding Governor Cox also continued his attack upon Senator Harding as a "conspirator" against tb3 league by virtue of his signature to tbe "round robin." "I think you will agree. he said, "that a conspiracy was formed ln the senate to strangle the league of nations to death. "Now we are asked to upset the conspiracy and the senatorial crowd purposes and the official upttetter. a member of the con spirators himself. When a ? Is tried ln court, tbe man under charge never sits in the Judge's chair and he never sits la the jury box. and the American peo ple In their desire to overturn this base conspiracy, are not go ing, to designate one of the con spirators himself to carry put the Job." InlolMr For Peace Predicting a "landslide for the "cause of peace" one we-k from today in the election. Governor Cox reiterated his opinion that the Republican, senatorial candi dates singing the "round robin" would be- defeated. Senator Harding, he predict ed, "would spend the next four years at Marion Ohio." and re ferring to Senator Moses of New Hampshire, he repeated that he was "one Moses who might well have been left In the bull rushen.V Seven addresses were made to day by the governor.

Pwpertty V.om With Iriupie "Continuied American prosper ity." the governor declared, "is contingent upon our becoming a member of the league. If we stay out I predict the worM sort of financial depression within thre? generations." Reverting, to the Mexican ques tion, he said: "I am convinced that the peo-. pie' of Mexico will Insist upon membership In the league alv. because they realize that among other interests opposing the cove nant ln America are speculators who wanted to Invade that coun try with the army of the 1'ntted States In order to remove the hax ard which enabled them to pur- chs larg holdings at low cot Every European . raiitli?tetaol Every EroMan lmperlali,-t is against the league, he aert"d. adding: "And it is a striking co:nrid-nt that the only thing approaching Imperialism in America, the sen atorial oligarchy.
