GENTLEMEN FACE
 RUIN; APPEAL T0 BANKS FUR AID.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-Re-
 lief from what was described as
 possible destruction of the live
 stock industry" through curtaiI-
 ment of banking loans, was
 sought from the federal reserve
 board today by a committee of
 livestock producers. They asked
 the board to encourage banks of
 their system to aid them finan-
 cially in raising and marketing
 their product.
 The committee which came as the representatives of a Chicago confer ence of producers, packers and bank CTS, predicted dire consequences to the livestock industry throughout the west unless bankers and cattle loan companies discontinue calling loans. They said millions of dollars in. loans were maturing this fall and they believed a re-assurance from the board that it approved of, such credit extension of the banks would materially lessen the difficulties with WHICH lhe il|eSIOch Hlen nave 10 uedl

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20. - Governor Cox closed his first days campaign in Southern Cal ifornia with an address to large audience here at the base ball park tonight.
 Here and in a preceding ad- dress at San Diego the Demo cratic presidential candidate laid special stress on the League of Nations and progressvism, de- clarine that he proposed to re- turn to the Atlantic coast and cover every state humanly pos sbIe.
 That ''reactionary" newspapers were biased and refused to give the people the news of the Democratic campaign, was charged by Governor Cox. To his San Diego audience he declared, specifically that nine tenths of California's newspapers were not printing the news.

Known Antiquities in Constitution to Blame, Says Harding

MARION, O., Sept. 20. - Warn
 ing that the League of Nations is
 full of known antiquities and
 that it was ambiguity in our con-
 stitution that led to the Civil war,
 Senator Harding today asked a
 delegation of Civil war veterans
 and ! delegation of Kentucky and
 Tennessee citizens how i've ever
 can consent to enter into new
 world compact with a dozen ambi-
 guties in it."
 The senator asserted that article ten of the league is a reciprocal pledge on our part to help preserve the inde- pendenCe and national integrity of forty-four nations" and that the article and it's correlaries clearly contem- plate war if need be, to make this preservation possible
 Again Blames Wilson
 Asserting that President Wilson had placed the 'purpots of an obsolete Clayton Bulwer treaty" above our con stitutional rights, in requiring tolls  through the Panama canal, Senator Harding exclaimed:
 ''Who cares to say that this same sort of logic will not some day be used to plague an unwilling America into foreign wars if we unrescrveoiy suo- scribe to article ten, the constitution to the contrary, notwithstanding.
 Senator Harding said in part:
 "I like to think of the blend of Ken lucky and Tennessee with the sons of the north who saved the nation. like to think that in 1920, there are a few wounds of the Civil war remain ing, there are few signs of sectional ism in our national life, and there is no one who regrets the winning of the war by the north and the preserva- tion of this wonderful land of ours.
 No Great Differences
 q like to recall that after all there were no very great differences be- tween us. I only think it was a mis- directed passion for country. You know there were two schools of Amer ican politics from the very beginning. One was the national school and the other was the school of states rights. These two schools were in conflict from the very beginning of the repub- lie: they waged their warfare with never ending intensity until it finally culminated in the great Civil war and in that conflict the question was set tied and the United States committed everlastingly to nationality.
 Have you ever stopped to think that we. one people, with naturally one interest, were led into the Civil war by a mere ambiguity in the fed eral constitution? In the beginning we were so divided in our ideas that
