Columbus, o.. July 14.-Charging

nor Cox. the Democratic nominee to-
day issued a statement replying to
Senator Harding's statement of yes

The statement was in reply to Sen

did not have the backing of the ad-
he accepted the League of Nations
as the dominant issue of the cam

In a rather sarcastic tone, Cox at

AFTER "SNAIL PAGER"
City Asked to Prohibit Unnecessaril,
Slow Driving Downtown.

The use of Kansas avenue as a
demonstrators highway will be pro-
hibited If the city commissioners act
on a suggestion from the Topeka Mo-
tor Trades association. A commune
cation asking that the evil of slow
driving on the main business thorofare
be eliminated has been received by
the commissioners and, it is intimated,
may be the occasion for the revision
of the entire recently passed ordinance
regulating motor traffic
Demonstrations of how slow a car
can travel in high are frequent occur
rences on Kansas avenue and they
often result in actual congestion of
traffic. Motorists declare that next to
the speed fiend" the snail PAGER is
the greatest evil on the streets He
usually sticks close to the street car
tracks and the well known roughness
of the pavement between the rails
makes it not only dangerous and
nerve-raeking to go around him, but
also expensive.
