RELYING ON NEGRO

Special Dispatch 10 Every Evening
Special Dispatch TO Every Evening
BY Louis Seiboid.

Chicago. H., Oct. 20-Balloting for
the next President Of the United states
cannot come too soon To suit the RepublI-
can marty. The national leaders, appre-
hensive of q fatal "break" ON the part OF
their standard bearer, admit the fact. The
Democrats contend with complete lustIfl-
cation. that II Senator Harding should be
permitted fn continue exposing hIs an
efficiency az a statesman for another
month Governor Cox would certainly be
elertcd
The Republican view Of present condi-
tons - fully Illuminated by one OF the
chieftalns II that party who sand TO me 10
the Auditorium Hotel We have got the
fight won now. and our greatest concern
ls 90 keep from losing It
The reasons that dictated this astound-
inr admission from a man who declared a
month ago that no development of the
campaign could iniure Mr.. Harding s
chances. are pretty much the same as
those which prevail among the leaders OF
all political parties throughout the cOun-
try. They are crystalized in the woeful
exhibitions which the Republican Presi-
Dental candidate has provided every time
be has left the front porch and attempted
to explain his previous statements on the
League OF Nations
FEAR FOR EASTERN TRIP.
His last "break," permitting the IN
ference that the French government had
manifested it's sympathy with one or two
Of the Harding plans for promoting world
peace, has unquestionably created the
greatest CONSERVATION among the man
ayers of the party. They will indulge in a
deep breath of relief when he has returned
from brief visit TO New York State and
settled down on the Marion porch
1t would be exceedingly difficult TO
overestimate the anxiety Mr.. Hardings
gyrations on the League of Nations has
caused 10 the souls of his hackers. Their
private comment regarding hun is almost
unfit for publication. II reflects neither
confidence in his judgment, admiration
for his mental processes IN meeting the
outstanding issue of the campaign, nor
respect for his political sagacity. 1t is the
character of these comments, more than
any other single circumstance that iusti-
ties the statement Of Governor Cox, Ma
tional Chairman White and other Dem
ocratic leaders that the Republican candi-
date has reached and gone over the peak
Of his advantage.

Democratic women of Delaware today
sent telegram To Mrs. Cox, inviting
her to visit this city tomorrow with her
husband, who stops of here In the morn
ing on his way TO Baltimore, to make a
short street parade and address in the
Queen Theatre. II it is possible for Mrs.
Cox To come along, she will be met at
French street station on the arrival of
the train at 0.05, by reception committee
of Delaware Democrats, who VIII devote
their time 20 looking after her pleasure
and comfort exclusively A telegram WAS
sent to Mrs Cox today. aud an answer is
expected at any time, announcing her
decision
If the wife Of the Democratic Prcsi-
Dental nominee should accept the IN
vitation, she will he urged to remain here
for "A few hours after the departure of her
husband for Baltimore, and will be en-
tertained ut luncheon by the Delaware
ladies
So far as can bc arranged ahead OF time
all plans for the coming of Governor Cox
are completed The Moose band has

The band viii precede the automobile
that will carry the visitors and local Dem
ocrats over the route named French street
north TO Tenth, 10 King, 10 Eleventh, to
Market, to Queen Theatre. The meeting
at the Queen will begin about 10 o clock
because Governor Cox must leave at
IL for Baltimore. It was thought best
TO have the short street parade prior to
the meeting. because after speaking the
Presidential nominee would undoubtedly
be in perspiration and exposure IN an
open auto might result in illness,
II there Is any time for handshaking
after the speaking then the Democratic
chieftain win greet as many rs possible,
but this part of the program is IN doubt
There are IN addition to his personal
staff a score of newspaper correspondents
and photographers accompanying the
Cox party The local committee OF ar
rangements has obtsincd enough automo-
b.les 10 accommodate all Of the visitors,
Because the autos VIII follow the band,
which Is to march, the procession VIII move
slowly and thus give every one who lines
up on any OF the streets over which the
parade VIII pass, an opportunity OF irsi
hand view OF the presidential candidate.

CHAIRMAN ISAACS
DEMANDS APOLOGY
OF CHAS. WARNER
Claims Republican Chief Has Seri
ously Reflected Upon His
Character.
WANTS PUBLIC TO KNOW
WHOLE SITUATION

A public apology within 4S hours, for
alleged llbeious statements, was made at
noon today upon Charles Warner. Re
publican State chairman, by Henry X
Isaacs, Democratic State chairman. The
demand for Mr.. Warner To retract certain
statements made by him about MIR
Isaacs and the Democratic work ers is
contained In a letter which MIR. Isaac cs
forwarded to Mr.. Warner this morning
The charges deal with statements made
by Mr.. Warner, insinuating chat Chairman
Isaacs' efforts 10 prevent fraudulent regis
tratlons last Saturday and the arrests Of
Negroes for alleged illegal registrations
constituted intimidation OF voters. The
complete vindieatIon of MIR. isaaes and
another worker IN City Court yesterday
ON charges of conspiring to intimidate
voters paved the way for the Democratic
chairman's letter today.
MIR. Isaacs does not say what course of
action he will follow, if Mr. Warner does
not retract his deDuneiations of the Dem
ocratie chief. Friends say, however, that
Mr.. Isaacs will probably invoke the aid
of the courts, ii necessary.
Its not money that is sought, said a
very close friend of Chairman Isaacs, IN
discussing the matter, ''but the clearing
of his name and character from the charges
made against him. Then again, Mr.
Isaacs feels that the reflections upon the
cause and the party are things that should
not be lightly passed over and be Will
push the civil suits, unless proper public
apology is made"
A copy OF Mr.. Isaacs' letter TO Mr..
Warner follows:
