Kansas Democracy is at the crest OF
its campaign today with Governor Cox
of Ohio, the party nominee for presi-
dent, in the state for five set speeches.
The Cox invasion carries him thru the
First, Seventh and Eighth districts for
speeches. Many prominent party lead
ers in the state will make the Cox
tour thru the state as members OF a
reception committee. The committee
will meet the presidential candidaIs
in Atchison at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Cox is expected to make his great
est appeals for the Democrat cause in
speeches tonight in Topeka and Thurs
day night in Wichita. The nominee
speaks twice in the Eighth district for
Congressman w. A. Ayres. the lone
Democrat member of the Kansas dele
CATION in Washington In the Newton
and Wichita speeches Cox is expected
to make an especial appeal for Ayres
return. while he may approve Repub-
lican Congressman Anthony in the
First and Tinches in the Seventh.
What About Billiard?
Interest in Governor Cox's First dis
trict speeches will doubtless center in
any appeal he mny make for the elec-
ton of J. Z. Billiard to congress.
Billiard is an avowed light wine and
beer candidate. Governor Cox declared
in Seattle that the booze issue Is out
of the campaign Whether Billiard or
his platform will receive mention by
the presidential nominee is today a
matter of speculation among persons
in touch with political affairs
There have been rumors that Cover
nor Cox may spring" something dur
ing his Kansas invasion. But there
is little belief that he will attack the
industrial court or seek to discuss
Kansas local issues. He is expected.
however, to give an endorsement to
Jonathan NJ. Davis. nominee for gov
ernor. and may take an incidental
sideswipe at Governor Aliens admin
istration. Beyond this expression. tho.
the nominee will doubtless cling to ma
tional Issues.
Broadside at Harding.
That the state is to hear the delivery
Of another broadside for Senator
Harding and another reference to the
Republican campaign fund, is the be-
lief of persons who have assumed to
forecast the candidates probable line
Of speech in this state IN the main
the Kansas speeches are expected to
follow the established line of cam
paign arguments used on the western
/ trip. But as Governor Cox warns up
TO his Kansas audiences, he Is ex-
pected to speak both freely and feel
fngly of the common enemy in the
Republican ranks.
Kansas political observers forecast
lively meetings in Newton and Wlch-
] tia Governor Cox is entering tl1s
Eighth district ten days ahead Of Sen
ator Harding. The two presidential
candidates are being taken to ths
4 fighting ground Of the state in an ef-
! fort to clinch chances for victory in
: November. With the certainty that
Senator Harding will speak from the
same platform next week, Governor
Cox NAV give the Republican candi-
date something now to talk about in
his one Kansas speech.

series. thrown by some of the Chi
cago White Sox players to Cincin-
natl for 100000, came in the
fourth inning of the first game at
Cincinnati when the score was to
l. This was the play which gave
rise to the suspicion that the game
was fixed and which caused the
fight between Ray Schalk, catcher
and two of the crooked players IN
the club house after the game.
Cincinnati was batting with one
out. Duncan singled and kopt
sent an easy grounder to Cicotte'
rated as one of the best fielding
pitchers in baseball.
Cicotte started to throw to sec
ond base, hesitated, and then tnal-
" threw low to Risberg's left when
the ball should have gone on the
Swede's right for a double play.
Risbcrg retired Duncan but was out
of position due to the bad throw
and could not complete the double
plav. Kopf was safe at first.
Five runs followed and Clcotte
was replaced by Wilkinson.

by Committee on Resolution.
Cleveland, O.. Sept. 29.-After one
hour of tumultuous and acrimonious
debate, the American Legion conven-

tempt to plunge the organization into
party politics.
The delegates defeated by an over
whelming majority the majority re-
ports of the committee on constitu-

The most important question before

itical disputes of the United States
Strong forces within the Legion fav-
ored striking out the political restric-

There were indications today that

main, but that a compromise would be
effected by the adoption of a resold-
ton requiring the officers to send out
questinnnaires to political candidates
