To Win Farmer

Points Out Republicans Had

Cummins Among Visitors
From a stor corrsspord,nt


MARION, Ohio, July 12. - Senator
Warren G. Harding, the Republican
Presidential nominee, halted work. on
his speech of acceptance to-day to take
la thrust at his Democratic opponent
Governor James M. Cox
~ note that the Democratic candi-
date announces, as one Of the first re-
forms he has in mind, to appoint a
real dirt farmer as Secretary of Agri-
culture" said the Senator, referring
to the Governors promise yesterday
made in an effort to placate the farmer
vote, with which Cox is not popular in
Ohio. "That is reform that the Re-
publican party does not need to adopt,
For sixteen years, under three Repub-
lican administrations, We had a real
farmer from a real farm as Secretary
on Agriculture-'Uncle jim Wilson, of
Iowa, who made the department the
greatest OF its sort in the world, He
ran it for the farmers, made it an In
strument to fight for the farmers and
to serve them in thousand ways.
Democrats Altered Policy
when the Democrats came into
power they brought university presi-
dent, Houston, as Secretary of Agricul-
ture and after him a publisher, Mere
dith.
"The Democratic party certainly
needs to be reformed in this regard.
The Republican party certainly does
not. AS in the past, the Republican
party will go on developing the depart
ment for the service OF real farms and
real farmers.
"The truth is that if the great De-
partment of Agriculture that Jim
Wilson built up under Mckinley, Roose-
velt and Taft had been maintained and
carried forward under the old Republi-
can ideals of practical usefulness, half
our problem of high cost OF living
would have been solved for us in adj,
vance.
"1t is gratifying to see this early
recognition of at least one mistake of
Democratic administration, and purpose
to correct it by returning to Republi-
can methods. A lot of others will be
found that can best be corrected in the
same way; and when the country comes
to pass OH the program, it will decide
to apply the Republican method of
correcIlon olrec!ly--through RepubN-
can administration"
Important Conferences Held
Senator Harding had important con-
ferences to-day with his close friend,
Senator Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa;
Raymond Robins, of Illinois, stanch
supporter of Senator Hiram johnson,
and John r. Rathom, publisher of
"The Providence Journal"

LONDON, July 12.-Official and un-
official news from the Polish-Bolshe-
vik battlefront shows that the soviet
forces are advancing along the whole
line and that General Pilsudski's troops
are no longer offering any resistance.
The Bolsneviki are advancing con-
siderably beyond Dvinsk and are rapid
ly approaching the battle line of March,
1918, which ran west of Minsk.
Whether the Bolsheviki will yield to
the Allied demand for an armistice is
matter of some doubt here, although
it is generally hoped that the Moscow
government will agree to a cessation
OF hostilities pending settlement of
boundary disputes by an international
commission.
Few Allied Troops Available =
There is much speculation here to-
day as to what material assistance the
Allies could lend the Poles in the event
that the Bolsheviki refuse to grant an
armistce. None of the Allied govern
ments is prepared to send any con-
siderable force of troops to the battle
front, although the French already
have close to 1000 officers in Poland,
some of them on Pilsudski's staff.
Dispatches from Rome say it is de-
MED there that Parliament will be
asked to authorize the sending of
military forces. In this connection it
,c rooo11oI %kot
Gently went to Prague to obtain
guarantees that the Czech legions re-
turning to their homeland by way of
Italy would not be used against the
Bolsheviki.
Could Send Military Stores
Most of the assistance which the
Allies could lend readily would be
military stores which could be shipped
through Germany. They also could
send a few professional soldiers to re-
organize and strengthen the Polish
forces.
Announcement made by Andrew
Bonar Law, government spokesman in
the House of Commons, this afternoon,
that the Russian Soviet government
had accepted Great Britain's conditions
upon which a trade agreement could be
drawn and that the Allies had taken
steps to effect an armistice between the
Bolsheviki and the Poles, was greeted
with applause.
Colonel Josiah Wedgewood tried to
obtain leave. to move adjournment as a
protest against "the Allied threat to
make war on Russia if they endeavored
to invade Poland" but he was unable
to get the necessary support for his
motion.
WARSAW, July 12.-victories for
the Poles in the Pripet region and in
volhynia are reported in Advices to-
day. The Bolshevik cavalry leader,
General Budenny, has been defeated
and is fleeing to Rovno, upon which the
Poles are marching.
The victory of the Poles in the Pripet
region is described as Complete" )"
Enormous supplies are declared to have
been taken with the occupation of the
town Of Owruncz, where 200 prisoners
also were picked up.

Rickard announced yesterday that he
intended to remodel the Garden ex-
tensively. The concert hall will be
eliminated and gymnasium installed
in its place. The balcony about the
big arena is to be lowered and seating

structure will accommodate $4,000 per-
sons, instead of bare 10000.
