COX REPLIES TO
 HARDING STATES CANP PA|GN ISSUES
Republican A. P. Leased WlreI

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 14-GOV- ernor James NJ. Cox, the Democratic nominee for president, today fired the first volley of the campaign at his Republican opponent Senator Hard ing. announced definitely that his of ficial notification will be held al Trails End. Dayton, and stated that the Democratic national committee will meet in Columbus July 20 instead of in Dayton as was previously inti- mated.
 In his first official statement. in an swer to Senator Harding's charge that the administration at Washing ton has saddled the league of nations upon him as the chief campaign issue. the governor declared that his own campaign will be dedicated to the task of bringing about peace with hon. or of readjusting the affairs of civ iliZation and of creating new day out of which we will make the best of the lessons of the past"
 Tn connection with the selection Of permanent campaign manager Gov ernor Cox would express no preference. He would not state whether E. h. Moore, his pre-convention campaign manager, would accept the position but when the name of Chairman Cum mings was mentioned he said that the national committee might insist he would be of more use in the campaign as a speaker than as manager, and de cided that Mir. Cummings should take the stump.
 Women May Oppose Cox
 Mrs James Rector of Columbus, chairman of the Ohio branch of the National Woman's party, called on the governor. Mrs. Rector intimated to newspaper representatives that the women expect to state plainly to the Democratic nominee that. unless he uses his influence to have another Democratic state ratify the federal suffrage amendment immediately. he may incur the opposition of 100000 women.
 Among others callers today were life prisoners from the state penitentiary who are trusties and came without guard. They presented a memorial to l the governor asking him to pay them an informal call al some Sunday morn | ing chapel service, ''as upon previous upon his nomination. The governor said he probably will attend the peni- | tentiary chapel service Sunday July 25.
 | The memorial expressed deep appre | citation for the interest the governor l has taken in the prisoners, declaring | they feel you are the only governor 1 who has the right conception of a | prison. for in Ohio it is not a place for 1 punishrnNnt it is a home for reform 1 w. F. Brown of Toledo, Republican | candidate for the senatorial nomina-
 tion to succeed Senator Harding and i one of the senator's floor managers al 1 the Chicago convention. also called or the governor today to extend congrat- l ulations.

VIEWS OF The FRENCH
AGREE WITH EARL GREY
Leading Journals Have Spoken
in Favor of Accepting Reser-
vations if Necessary.

Paris.-The French press contains
no comment on Lord Greys letter to
the London Times, in which he finds
little objection to the Lodge reser-
vations to the Versailles treaty. Lord
Grey's letter could not serve to con-
vert the major part of the French
press because for many months it
has preached along the lines set forth
in his letter.
For a long time such important
journals as the Temps and the Journal
des Debats have argued that the AL
lies should accept the program Of
American reservations because they
did not vitality affect the treaty except
with regard to Article x of the cove
nant, and because by accepting them
American aid in the peace work could
be had. AS for Article Y most of the
French publicists have held that while
its expression tended to weaken the
League of Nations, nevertheless nc
one could keep America as member
of the league in line on any project
of war if Congress did not agree,
and, therefore, the reservation d1d moi
really change anything.
AS for the reservation on British
votes in the league assembly, French
men have not had a great deal to say,
regarding that as a question on which
England should speak. They have,
however, never regarded it as a point
which should keep America out of the
league.
1t is an entirely safe assumption
that, while France would have pre-
ferred simple American ratification of
the Treaty of Versailles, the French
government would not oppose allied
agreement to American reservations,
as they are now understood. 1t would
agree more readily than the English
government.

ASKS FOR 100000
TO keep OUT LIQUOR
Customs Service Points Out
Need of Many Guards on the
Borders and at Ports.

Washington.-The chief of the Gus
toms division, through the secretary of
the treasury, requested an additional
appropriation of 100000 for an army
of customs officials to enforce prohibit
ton at the ports and along the Next
can and Canadian borders.
Already Congress has authorized an
appropriation of 100000 for the en-
forcement Of prohibition and it is esti-
mated that the federal government
must expend at least SS,000,000 to
guard the 800 bonded warehouses in
the country, to guard the border and
ports, and to enforce the other pro-
visions of national prohibition.
The enforcement act carried an ap-
preparation of 100000 and the house
authorized 100000 to guard the
bonded warehouses.
Wet advocates assert that If the fed
eral government intends to enforce
strictly all the provisions of the prohi-
bition act, an arI4y of customs officials,
| SpcCIdl lSNCuuS dScllS anu oCIACt pV-
lice the size of the standing army be-
| fore the war will be required. Federal
| officials say that, conservatively esti-
mated, the federal government will re-
quire at least $8,000000 for the first
year and the Anti-Saloon League in
tends to uphold the arm of the govern
ment by expanding $12,500,000 of the

A letter prepared by G. w. Ash
| worth, chief of the customs division,
| was sent by the secretary of the treas
ury to Speaker Gillett, which outlined
the needs for heavy guards at the bor-
ders and at the ports. This letter
says:
cat the present time collectors of
customs throughout the service are
employing every available means to
circumvent liquor smuggling in this

of the United States marshal for West

veritable reign of crime out there, prin-
cipally from the smuggling of intoxi-
eating liquors, opium, morphine, ETC.,
from Mexico" and that the smuggling
of liquors seems to be on the increase
