National and intenational fin ancial and economical readjust ment, as well as the high cost of living, are bound up in the success of the league of nations, Governor Cox declared today at a large public gathering. "With the least possible delay after March 4, 1921. our pledge is to enter the lague, making such additions as ure reaasuring and helpful," .Governor Cox said. "This will legally end the war it will help to re-establish credits. A call will be made upon our mineral malth and our productive skill. . We will have the ships to sail every sea; the supply of life's essentials will be equal to the demand; living; costs will be reduced. - What we would ' other: wise be spending for guns and powder would be applied to our war. debt and above all "we will be heppy in the con sciousness that war pratcically im possible. Reaction in Retreat. "The opopsition offers, at the beat, a very long delay. What project it has as a substitute for the league of nations, no one knows, or at least no one has ever attempted to describe it or to name ti. The question of the league of nations therefore, becomes increasingly this issue- in this cam oaten for the very reason that it in volves our safety, our economic re- bring about' this result, the fact re- adjustment and our prosperity. The mains that the women won their own ees Woman Vote Republican Grant of Suffrage Due to Women's Own Efforts-Moral Questions Line Them with G O P Marion, Ohio, Aug. 19. Sen ator Harding declared today that the grant of suffrage to American women would be es pecially welcome to the republi cans in the coming campaign because "a great moral and soci al reform, ecently achieved is menaced by the covert purpose of our opponents to attack it." He predicted that, voting women would stand with the republican party through- a realization that it had led in achieving social betterment while the democratic party "had notorious ly refused to "enforce reform policies. Victory Due to Women. "American women," said , Senator Harding, "have won the suffrage fight. Their victory is dramatic be cause it comes as the reward of a great final drive that now has insured to all American women a full partici pation in the most crucial -national election in many years. Tet, import ant as are the issues in this political contest, we may well doubt if history will recognize any other phase of it as equal in importance to the fact that in this year the women of America for the first time took their full part In determining the national destinies: "However much some of of us ran. be pleased with the" congratulations which assure us today that we helped air. in clearing, the smoke screen of nyprocricy thrown out by the sena torial oligarchy has been pierced, and every day between now and November will witness the gradual retreat of the forces of. reaction. There isn't enough money in the world to stop it." '" Reiterating his charge of "reaction' against the republican leaders, Gov ernor Cox added; .-' !'If they should follow their, own steps backward, and they are so used to moving in that direction that they would not need a compass, they would find; that' every condition against which they inveigh is of their own creation. They discuss the high cost f -living without apparently realizing. that in a large measure they are re ' sponsible for the belated settling down of condtliong which have continued the high cost of living. :,. r " ; Results of Delay, "If the league of nations had been 1 ratified months ago, exchange ' would have been stabilized. Europe could have started its work of rehabitationj its countries would not have made a drain upon our food supplies. In fact Europe would be buying the things which we can spare. The result of this would be self evident. War taxes which should have been modified or '- repealed when the war was were not touched and the republican oligarchy to the senate is directly responsible." Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, Governor Cox declared, was Instru- mental in preventing reduction of war : taxes, "on the theory that the people :. would blame the executive rather than the congressional administration" for failure to abolish . burdensome taxa- tion. .... .. Much of the national debt of all countries. Governor Cox said, was caused by the race in armament, add ing: "If the world does not proceed to arm Itself to the teeth, if the cost of wmament is diverted to the payment victory. Their long struggle against many discouragements has been a splendid preparation for the duties lm posed on them. They will be full part hers in shaping national programs and policies. However they may divide politically their moral sense, their so cial instincts, their primary concern for home and family and health and education will be a constant lnspira tion to an Insistence upon higher and better aims In our national life. Republican Feat Scarce. "As to Immediate political effects, we republicans may, and do feel se cure. In this campaign we face issues on which we may be confident that the voice of womanhood ' will pro nounce for us. Once more, the ; real independence of our nation , is in volved. A great moral and social re form, recently , achieved, is menaced by the covert purpose of our oppo nents to attack It. Enfranchisement of women will make nd mistake In choosing between the republican party which has led in every movement for social and industrial betterment and the democratic party, which has no toriously refused to enforce theBe en lightened policies in the south, where it completely dominates. Nor will women forget that more than four fifths of the ratifying states are-repub lican states."

"Many of them believe that' this Is a vast wilderness Inhabited by barbarous In dians and cowboys, penetrated only now and then ln spots by daring explorers."- i- "If they only knew," he continued, "that the Willamette valley is larger than some of the states we visited, they would begin to realize that it s some valley; and the. magnitude of the valley is not all.
