New York, October f4.-G Ea
 White, chairman democratic nacie ai committee, tonight issued a stata.neni in which he said that eleventh n5ar plans of the republicans would f.fl tS check the republican and indepeaaeas stampede to Governor Cox. which has already. begun"

 Independents who have often sup ported-it are turning 10 Govepnor Cox In close council and deep secrecy the Harding campaign managers are seek ing frantically to work out eleventh hour plans to regain lost ground
 one of these plans, MT. White said he understood was to announce in advance the personnel of the cabinetsas Senator Harding would constitute 1t If eiec.ec

 Mir. White stated that the republican party was being deserted for three .ca- sons. as follows
 First. true Americans are determined Ithat the League of Nations can be saved only through the election of Governor Cox

GO IN LEAGUE OR
 STAY OUT IN COLD.
 SAYS UNDERWOOD 
Nations Now in League Will Not Abandon It, Alabama Statesman Declares Be-
 fore Boston Audience
By Associated Press

Boston, october 14-Senator Underwood of Alabama divided an address at the City Club tonight between a defense or the League of Nations and review of taxation problems Speaking of the league. he said
 We can't force millennium, but we can try. l don't tell. you that we can lively stop all wars. but I can say that if we don't adopt this method. we know that the old method has never succeeded. And l believe that this method will, in the main. succeed
 He said the nations in the league would not abandon it for any league that might be devised in this country.
 We go in this one or stay out in the cold" he added.
 He described Senator HArding and Senator Borah as the Legislative twins. with Harding just emerging from the political smoke screen to announce his true position.
 In discussing taxation, Senator Under wood said:
 Taxation can only be just when it is equitably and fairly distributed. The new Congress must go into extra session, no matter whicf party wins. because the tax and other conditions must be revised. From one billion to two billions can be lifted from the shoulders of the Amer,- can people out of the present five and d half billion dollar tax. A consumption tax. such as the republican party pre- fers, would throttle the very existence of the small business man, the doctor and the lawyer. The democratic party expects wealth to be taxed on a basis equitable with the taxation of articles of consumption.

 Tn general. 1t is not seemly to ques- ton the forces arrayed behind one s leading opponent but I deem this to be an instance in which there is a right to examine them carefully, and I say this because l have had no hesitency ir granting to my opponent full and free opportunity to examine the forces and influences behind my own candi- dacy My nomination came in the open convention, as the result of the free choice of delegates there assembled was not nominated at any 2:11 a. m. conference in smoky back room of hotel suite, and I am perfectly willing that the forces indorsing my candidacy 1 be examined and compared with those behind the reactionary candidate as part of the issue of this campaign.
 T am, however. more interested in the groups of forces that have been themselves.
 "With this preliminary I assert candidly. rather with sympathy and compassion. rather almost
 with shame for some of those who profess to be Americans, that the
 candidate of the senatorial ring has behind him today the most
 mOtly array or QucSthOmaUlc RFOuPS and influences that ever were be- hind candidate-an array that to
 survey brings the crimson blush of hunsflfa tion to m American. and
 m assortment of influences that he must begin Immediately after
 the election to repudfate should the
 unthinkabIe thing of . reactionary
 victory darken the happy prospects of a victorious and proud America.

 BACKED BY DOZEN GROUPS
 T affirm that Senator Harding is .he candidate of more than dozen groups working through the present reaction ary republican leadership. I assert and so advise the American people that the party once led by Abraham Lincoln has been sold to these several designing parties to be prostituted for this cam- Ipaign. I do this so that the sober thinking clements of all parties may know of the uses to which the repub- lican organization has been put that they may repudiate those who have made of their temple den of disreplte in the attempt to evade the issue of the League of Nations and distract the public mind from our unswerving sup- port of peace and progress.
 I shall inventory the strangely heterogeneous parties that are arrayed behind the candidate of the senatorial group seeking to annex the presidency:
 First, there is the reactionary party of this country. Then there is the pro- German party, the party whose mem bers opposed our successful prosecu- tion of the war. and gave secret sym pathy and aid to the deposed Kaiser. the party whose heart would leap with joy were this monster of militarism by

UNITED KINGDOM
 IS FACING CRISIS Nearly Million Miners Likely to Strike Monday, Forcing Hun- dreds of Thousands Out
 of Work
M AaeecIated Press

AUUOEt8I80 EE6OU
 London. october 14-The United King dom today was faced with perhaps the most ominous industrial crisis in its his- tory, due to the decision of the coal min- CTS to allow the strike notices to be- como effective Saturday night. following their rejection of the compromise offered to their demand for two-shilIing per shift increase in wages.
 It seemed certain that unless the gov ernment or the mine-owners conceded tho demands of the men or made fresh and attractive offers. more than So0,000 miners would not return to the pits Monday, thereby throwing hundreds of thousands 0f workers in other industries out of work and causing a critical situation in the economic life of the country.
 Official returns from the National min ers' ballot concerning the datum line proposal of the owners showed an over whelming majority in favor of rejection. At this mornings crucial conference of the miners delegates who met to con slider the deadlock, small minority held out for submission of the claims of the men to arbitration. but this was brushed aside. It was stated that the miners executive expected to be summoned to the board of trade this afternoon, but whether this would occur, or if SO what it presaged, / was matter of specula- tion.
 No sooner had news of the decision of the miners been received in the great steel district Of Cleveland, York shire. than the iron and steel manufac- turers there began preparations for clos ing the works. It is expected that if the strike mAterializes, most of the blast and steel furnaces will become idle inn mediately.
 Tho government. while saying little for weeks. has been actively preparing tc handle the situation in the event of th< strike being called
