Montgomery, August 10.--(Special) - Official information that the Southern Railroad had ordered the agent at De- mopolis to send away empty all rail- road cars now being received, and to decline to receive shipments in cars which have carried shipments to that point, caused the public service com mission to start an inquiry today for the purpose of determining why such an order should be issued.
 Large lumber and other interests of the Demopols territory wired the com mission that financial ruin will be faced by many if they are unable to obtain cars in which to make shipments al ready under contract. that the territory for many weeks has been unable to obtain it's quota. and that seventy railroad cars are needed to handle shipment during the next thirty days.
 The commission was asked to take immediate action. The protestants said the enforcement of the order will mean the closing down of all industries. the release of employees and the sacrifice of thousands of dollars now invested in lumber and other commodities which are now ready to move to other mar kets.

Montgomery, Augusr l0-tSpecial.) )-- Acting on information that cotton seed crushers propose to offer only 80 ton for cotton seed this year and that peanut buyers will pay only cents a pound for peanuts. M C. Al1good, state commis- sioner of agriculture, today requested all commissioners of agriculture in the south to meet him at Memphis Friday August 20, for a conference for the pur- pose of making plans which will obtain better prices.
 mmissioner Allgood declared that the proposed prices will not be adequate to pay the growers the expense of making the crops much less profit for their seasons work. Last season cotton seed brought from $6O to s9o a ton, and at the close of the peanut season buyers were paying l2 cents a pound.
 Memphis was selected, because of its central location. It appears that prices far below actual costs of production will be offered to the farmers for cotton seed and peanuts. said MT Allgood' g telegram. Immediate action Is neces- sary to prevent actual loss of millions of dollars. The conference will be held at thes Memphis Chamber of Commerce.

GILBERT SEES LACK 0F ORGANIZATION IN
 DEMOCRATIC CAMP
Cox Campaign Is One-Man Campaign and He Has Undertaken Stupend-
 ous Task
By CLINTON W. GILBERT

Dayton, O., August 1O.-(Spccial.)-- The Cox campaign Is n one-man-cum- paisn. You see no such evidences of . smooth running organization here as you see at Marion. In republican cir cles no such slip has occurred as tho candidates making one issue while the national chairman wns announc ncins another. And that break of Chairman Whites wns symptOmatic.
 The speech of acceptance was a one-man speech. It did not represent party opinion. It represented Cox's opinion. If MT White and Mir. Marsh, and MT. Moore and Senator Harrison and the other leaders who nominated Cox and came here hoping to see the ghost of Wilson laid were not con suited neither were the Wilson lead CTS. It was not a Wilson speech be- cause Cox has been listening to Wil- son advisers. The Wilson men were conspicuously absent from the notifi- cation ceremonies. Only two of that element. MT. Tumulty and Secretary Meredith were in evidence. Had the candidate been hardening to the views of the Wilsonians more of them would surely have attended the notifica tion ceremonies.
 ACCESSIBLE TO ENGLAND { It is not that Cox wrote the speech like Buddha apart from the rest of mankind as Wilson him self might have done it. He is readily accessible. Probably there never was more ac- cessible presidential candidate. He sees everybody.
 >He talks freely. He told evetyone he saw what he intended to say in his speech newspaper correspondents. woman suffrage workers seeking his aid in inducing Tennessee to ratify the suffrage amendment politicians, local business associates, But the point is he told them what he was going to say. He did not ask them what he should say. And he told them, quite incidentally. He did not see fl to send for Mir. White or any of the dem ocratic leaders mentioned above and tell them what he was going to say.
 The comment from Dayton on Chair man Whites Washington slip was that the candidate would make the issues and the national chairman would arrange the campaign. Part of we'll conducted campaign is pub licity. And again the democratic pub- l:city man is Cox himself. There is as yet no such organization for reaching

Marion. O., August 10-Unaltered ad. herence to Senator Hardng's front porch programme of campaigning was an- nounced at his headquarters tonight after the progress of the plan had ben reviewed al consultation of the republican nomi- nee with active leaders of his party
 The announcement was made by Win i. Hays. the national chairman, who sald the candidate and all of his close advIs- CTS were agreed that most of his ad- dresses should be delivered here, though he might go 70 other cities for couple of special speeches for exceptional events" He added. so far no speaking dates away from Marion had been ar- ranged.
 Harry M. DaIgnerty, who was Senator Harding's praconvention manager. and now is a member of the campaign execu- tive committee, also declared there was perfect agreement on the subject, and Governor Cox's plans for whirlwind campaign would result in no alteration of the decision. Both of the leaders said they had brought the candidate gratify- ins reports of the impression made throughout the country by his stay-at- home method of campaigning, which more than offset the great pressure" that had been brought to hear to induce him to speak in various localities.
 There has beer no thought of a change in plans relating to Senator Hardinzs part in the campaign, said Mir Hays "lt has been a conviction of Senator Harding that he fan speak deliberately at home and betittingly cover a variety or interesting topics, and neither he nor his' close friends have found reason to change their minds"
 The chairman added that althougn many local leaders had asked that tho candidate come into their states. he felt the invitations were not indicative of any disagreement.
