HARDING FLAYS
DAYTON SPEECH
Lacking in Dignity Declares
COP. Nominee in
Editorial.
NOT CONVINCING, CLAIM
Expected Better Things, He
Says, From One of Gov
ernor's Ability.

Marion, Ohio, Aug. THE elec-
tion Of Gov. James NJ. Cox. Demo
cratic nominee for President. means
-four years more % one-man gov
srnment. Of the autocracy under
which the government has suffered
for the past seven years" II was de-
clared in an editorial appearing to-
day in the Marion Star, the news
paper of Senator Warren G. Hard
ing. Republican nominee for Presi-
dent. The editorial was a caustic
acceptance earlier in the day at
Dayton. The editorial follows:
Governor Cox's speech of accep-
tance is not of the high character
which might have been anticipated
from one Of the admitted ability
of the governor. To the careful
reader IL is neither inspiring nor
convincing.
Called Lacking in Dignity.
Its chief defect is in its general
tone. The governors friends and
followers will protest to the con-
trary, but the speech is not the
dignihed utteranCe one would nat
urally expect from an aSplrant 10
an once so exalted as the Presi-
dency. His references 10 COnspira-
tors plots, 'dlscourtesies to the
President political intrigues,,
large contributions to the Repub-
lican campaign fund for no other
purpose except to buy a govern
mental underhold and to make IL
legal profits as the result of pref
erence,' fabulous contributions to
the present Republican campaign
fund and the like, are surprising
when found in the acceptance
speech of the Presidential Candi-
date Of a great party.
Raps Citation of Lodge.
And the same is true of his ci-
tation of the declaration of Sena-
tor Lodge regarding a separate
peace. At the time the senator
spoke the German army was still
a menacing force. To have made a
separate peace then would have
been dishOnorable, as Senator
Lodge held. But the armistice has
since been signed. The Allies have
since signed and ratified A peace
treaty with Germany. Yet Gov. Cox
quotes the Lodge declaration as an
argument against a separate peace
with Germany now.

however, that the record of Senator
Harding showed that he supported

RAILWAY COAL CAR
 SITUATION BETTER Mines Profit by Famous Order No. 7' of the Com
 merce Commission

J. B. Ford, chairman of the Birming- ham Terminal committee and represen- tative of the Interstate Commerce com mission, says the coal car service on the Southern and the Frisco railroads now amount to practically one hundred per cent.
 There has been no marked improve ment on the Louisville and Nashville, because that road had not been in the habit of using cars suited to ocal haul ing for other purposes, hence had none in reserve to furnish the mines. How ever, it is believed that this road will gradually accumulate coal carrying cars from other systems and will be able to supply coal mines with an in creased supply
 The coal priority order has not in- jured all industries. but has helped a few of them. whose main trouble was the lack of ample coal supply Some are glad to get coal more promptly, but are handicapped in securing raw ma terial.
 The one assured thing is greater production of coal. How much the in crease will be in the production of domestic coal and how much it will be in the inrease of steam coal will dew elop on receipt of the weekly reports from the mines.
 Not all the domestic coal mines are on strike and those that are not should materially increase their output under the improved car service conditions.

Members of the traffic and tr -pc Ion com1- zee Z tho Civic Association have started a movement, in com pany with civic bodies in other southern cities, to secure southern man as member of the Interstate Commerce C---.-lli5- sion.
 Much indignation is apparent in the south over the fact that of the three appointees to fill vacancies on the none are from the soul tn tJind that now the south is without rep Presentation on the commission. With expanded powers granted during the war, this commission is considered. busi- mess men say, the most powerful body of the government outside of Congress itself.
 So many matters that vitally effect the south are before the commission that 1t is the opinion of southerners sentation on the board. Efforts will be made to have Congress put aside me of the three men now before it for ap- proval, as members of the commission and substitute a southern man in his place.

BUNN ID PROTEST CAR,RESTR|CT|ON Shippers Aroused Over the
 Shutdown of Plants Due ksss to Car Shortage N

At the behest of the Birmingham Traffic Bureau of which he is general manager, o. L. Bum left Birmingham last evening for Washington.
 He goes to present the protest of the Birmingham shippers asking for modi hcation of recent order No. of the Interstate Commerce Commission which restricts the use of open top cars "suita- ble'' for loading coal to the use of coal mines.
 At a largely attended meeting of shippers held at traffic bureau head z quarters it was determined that the situation had become acute and in- tolerable.
 Among conditions reported were these:
 The four large plants of the United \ States Cast Iron Pipe Company shut down on account of the car shortage N A slag industry losing s1,0Oo day by eason of big overhead and small out put.
 Large f1reproof works without raw
  uct in the kilns is drawn. Another clay working plant down to 30 per cent of production with overhead going on. A slag industry shut down. Two scrap laalers unable to move stuff to mills md foundries or get in new material A committee was appointed to gather the exact data bearing on the situation up to yesterday and to have it ready for MT. Bum to carry with him to Washington. MT. Bum will be joined in Atlanta by representative of the Georgia ship pers, who will make common cause with him.
 The Birmingham shippers appealed to the Interstate Commerce Commission last week asking for modification of the order and yesterday received a $Eeply to the effect that the commission Twas not "disposed" to make any modi- i fication.
 The shippers are inclined to believe II that the Interstate Commerce sCommis- < sion does not fully realize the acute ness of the situation. This they intend to present through the data which MT. Bum will carry with him.
