BIG BREAK IN
PRICE OF WHEAT
Agitation for Cut in Food
Cost Affects the
Market

CHICAGO, Sept. 9I.-Big breaks In
the price of wheat took place, today
largely as result vl agitation for n
general cut In food cost. The smash
OF values in wheat amounted to as
much as ~ "a rents bushel. and
the market closed In semi -demoral-
lied condition, December delivery at
s2.25 u and March $2.i5 to $2.i6.
Heretofore, wheat has been advance
Ing despite setbacks In the price OF
other grain. The chief reason aacrib-
I'd fer such strength was huge sales
Of wheat for export to Europe. To-
day. however. the stimulus OF export
business appeared to have lost its in
fluence, and especially near the end
of the day the wheat market tumbled
wildly downward.
In sympathy with the weakness of
wheat, other grain markets also gave
way and both corn and oats fell To the
lowest price levels yet for the 1920
crop.

cOx's NEW BueABOo

In view OF the statement by
Governor Cox at the armory las:
ldghl, repeated today In hs
speeches Ia Colorado, charging u
conspiracy of silence" in which
he alleges Representatives OF the
republican national committee
are seeking to induce newspapers
not to print the news OF his ac-
tiVities and speeches, The Even
ing Herald wishes to state that
80 tar as this newspaper IL con
cerned no such request has been
made.
Two representatives of the re-
publican national committee
were In Albuquerque last Satur-
day night. At their invitation
Representatives OF the Albuquer-
que newspapers met them at the
Alvarado hotel. II either OF
these men said anything that
could be construed into re-
quest to suppress the news about
Governor GoN's visit here or his
speeches, khe representative OF
The Hcarld did not hear IL, and
he believes he heard every word
said at that conference.
What the representatives of
the republican nationaf commit
tee said should be done with ref
erence to Governor CoX's visit
was, IN effect, that newspapers
here and everywhere should see
to Il that he does not get away
with continued evnsions OF Ia,

permitted TO calnouflnge his pu-
sition upon them beneath un-
proven charges Of flowery ora

than TO minimize II or to
suppress In any way reports of
his activities and HIS public ut

SO far as The Evening Herald
Is concerned. Governor CoN's as
sertion that this republican paper
is suppressing news about him
is n plain and rather foolish
falsehood. Last nights edition
