Those that didn't bring a potato or
apple or glass of jelly for the poor
brought penny or nickel or
dime. And it certainly added up

FOES CONTINUE
WAR ON SUFFS.
IN TENNESSEE
Further Steps Taken to
Prevent Certihcation
of Approval.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 23.-Anti-
suffrage forces have taken further
steps to prevent certification of the
ratification of the federal suffrage
amendment by the Tennessee leg
islaturc.
Under an amended bill filed in
court here yesterday Chief Clerks
M. Carter and John Green, Of the
senate and house, respectively
we're made parties to the tempor-
ary injunction restraining state Of
ficials from taking any steps to-
ward certifying ratification.
Opponents OF suffrage declare
that their action in amending the
temporary injunction will serve to
prevent final legislative action on
the resolution at least until after
the hearing on the injunction pro-
ceedings. No date for the hearing
has been set. .-..
Urges Mass Meetings.

address to the people of Tennessee
from the 81 boilers at Decatur,

headquarters announced that a
corps of speakers would begin i'm
mediately a tour of the state to
arouse nsuch feeling against suf-
frage ratification that legislators
who voted for suffrage will he
forced to reverse their stand.
Opinions Differ.
Suffrage opponents are acting on
the theory that the house has moi
disposed Of the Walker motion to
reconsider the resolution vote and
that they yet have chance to adop'
it and rescind ratification.
Governor Roberts, Attorney Gen
eral Thompson and others hold
that the amendment has been rati.
fled and declared, only the injunc.
ton stands in the day Of certifying

CROPS IN NEED
OF MORE rain


Springfield, Ill, Aug. 23.-Al-
thought the drought was broken in
many areas in Illinois last week,
much Of the state still needs mois-
ture. according to the crop bulle-
tin issued today by the bureau OF
crop estimates. Corn, it says,
shows improvement. though its
condition is very spotted and many
fields are beyond relief.
Chinch bugs have been checked
by the rain in some localities, but
the situation in the southwest is
still serious. Threshing of winter
wheat is about finished. but rains
have checked the threshing Of
spring wheat and oats. Yields oi
spring wheat are not very heavy
as a rule and the quality is not u.s.
ually Of the best. In q number OF
northern cotnties much damage
has been done by rust
Oats appear more satisfactory
than expected. Heads have gen.
orally filled we'll and the quality
is running good to excellent
Meadows and pastures have beer
helped in many localities by the
rain, though in q large portion OF
the state the pastures are still
brown and dry and are furnishing
no food for animals.
The conditions Of apples has mo-
made much change in the week
and a good crop Of not over-fail
quality will be harvested. Peaches
have made a good crop and nov
appearing on the market. In quail
ity they are fair to excellent. Hom'
grown watermeions of excellen
quality are now obtainable.

HEAT
IN RACE Won
BY HARDING
G. O. P. Nominee Holds
Lead at Half Way Mark;
Next Two Months Tell.
BIZ DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.l

Washington, Aug. 2s.-INearly
two of the four months of the pres
idential campaign have elapsed and
there is not much reason to change
as yet the forecast Of the probable
outcome which followed upon the
two national conventions. Judged
by reports from all parts Of the
country. from Democratic as well
as Republican sources, as matters
stand today Senator Harding, the
Republican nominee has the lead,
and were the election held this
week, he would win though hardly
by the same margin that he might
have secured when he was first
nominated.
In other words, the campaign of
Governor Cox has made some head
way. Whether it will make enough
headway to overcome the Harding
lead is another question, the an
swer to which lies in the campaign
yet to be made by both candidates
and the workers in their behalf
The Democrats are blazing away
as intensely as they can with a
clumsy organization. The Repub-
licans are holding back with a
smooth working machinery that can
be increased in speed at any time.
The Republicans say they don't
think much of August drives and
declare they prefer rather to rely
on the drive made in October.
Likened to Yacht Race.
But the race between Cox and
Harding can best be described by
taking as an analogy the recent
yacht race between America and
England. One boat was given
seven minnptes' handicap in point
OF time SO that her competitor
tcould~ cross the sflnisif line first but
still not win. Senator Harding has
practically a two year handicap. He
has behind him all the strength of
the Republican offensive which be-
gan with the capture Of congress in
the 1918 elections and has con-
tinued ever since. The Democrats,
! on the other hand, admittedly were
on the defensive and depended
nevertheless on their leader, Wood
row Wilson, for most of the fight
ing. Unfortunately, however, as so
often happens in football teams
when a star player is absent from
the game or injured. the rest Of the
team goes to pieces. President Will
son felt it necessary to go to
Europe to negotiate personally with
the powers Of Europe and during
his absence nobody was delegated
| to handle the defensive of the po-
litical fight or even to conduct an
offensive. Senator Lodge and his
colleagues managed continually to
lombard the president and his poll
cies while Mr.. Wilson himself was
so busy with the peace negotiations
that he had very little time to mend
fences at home even by cable OF
! letter.
