concerned that is closed book"
He then explained that the action
which he, as secretary of state, had
taken in issuing the proclamation is
merely ministerial.
The belief is expressed in official
circles here that, despite the action
Of the Tennessee legislature in re-
scinding its vote on suffrage. the
amendment once proclaimed can not
be vitiated by such reconsideration. It
is pointed out that the case Is some
what similar to that Of the adoption

COY. cox DECLARES
BARLEYCORN is DEAD

Seattle, Wash, September IL
Gov. Cox tonight made his first pub
lie declaration in regard TO prohibi-
tion.
The governor, after an introduction
in which his sponsor, George G. Cot
trill, had denounced assertions that
the candidate was a wet, made the
following declaration to large au-
dience:
"As progressive in government,
know when an event has passed by
and become a part Of yesterday The
reactionary rarely does The friends
Of world peace and the friends of pro
gress will win this election and at
tempts to divide them an any ques-
ton not an issue. viii be unavailing. /"
The way was paved for Gov Cox's
declaration By MT. Cottrill. who re-
ferred to an attack made on Gov. Cox
today BY the Seattle Post-Intellgen-
Ger, Republican newspaper, which
branded Gov. Cox as wet and de-
manded that the governor declare
himself and not dodge" the ques-
tion. The paper printed an alleged
letter Of George F. Carroll, pr liideIs
Of the New Jersey Liquor Dealers
Association, dated July %, stating
that Coy. Cox was pronounced wet"
and his nomination "a victory for our
interests The Carroll letter also
called for aid and funds from the
liquor dealers in behalf Of Gov. Cox
Mr. Cottrill who is a Democratic
candidate for senator, praised the
record of Cox. Cox in prohibition and
other moral issues in Ohio. declaring
that he procured in advance of nat
ional prohibition the saloon Sunday
closing law Besides charging that
Senator Harding owned brewery stock
Mr.. Cottrill said the Republican cam
didate had voted 30 times on the wet
side, on matters pertaining to prohi-
bition as against only two dry votes
and these after Ohio had adopted
prohibition and reelected Gov, Cox
to enforce it.
Mr.. Cottrill said that the Seattle
newspaper had in the past thrown
its influence in behalf Of the liquor
interests" and now made its attack
upon the governor to further partisan
ends He added that in view Of Cox's
record, he would support him with as
surance that he would enforce the
law in the United States as he en-
forced it in Ohio"
Besides the Seattle newspapers at
tack, the Herald of BelIingham, where
the governor made his first speech
today sent telegram asking state
ment from the candidate on prohibi-
ton and whether he favored article
10 on the league of nations covenant
as preserved by President Wilson;
whether he approved the blanket
Of President Wilson's
administration in the San Francisco
platform and other questions. No
reply was made by Mr.. Cox.
Another demand for a statement
on prohibition and article 10 came
from woman prohibition leader Of |
Tacoma.
The governor had been contemplate
ing a statement for some time and on |
his train today after conferences with
Mr. Cottrill and other advisers de-
sided to make his statement tonight. |
