Women's Vote Proves to
Be Proverbial Monkey
Wrench.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus).

washington, d. C., Aug. 20.-Rat-
tncation of the nineteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution per-
mitting women in all states of the
union to vote has unquestionably
upset the calculations of the Re-,
publican and Democratic managers
Of the presidential campaign. 1t
may mean an entire change Of tac-
tics. Certainly it already has
brought worries that didn't exist
last week. One Of these Is the GER
tain punishment Of Republican and
Democratic members Of congress
who showed themselves unfav0rable
to suffrage. The other is the vote
Of the women on the tangible or in
tangible liquor issues and the vari-
Gus phases of the League Of Ma
tions controversy.
Now that the fight is over, it Is
not prejudicial to say that inside
both the Republican and Democratic
camps, there were influential men
who secretly hoped, that the meas
ure would not triumph. The wo-
men leaders used to call these per-
sons reactionary and ultra cOnser-
vative and however that may be, it
is q fact that most Of these same
individuals were organization poll
ticians and were plainly stumped
by the prospect Of organizing the
feminine vote in the wards and pre-
cincts in the short time that is left
between now and election.
Women More Independent
Nothing worries a political lead
er, 80 much as inability to vote his
constituents in groups or at least
to assess definitely the trend Of
one district SO he can counterbal-
ance losses in another. Bat the
women have always proved them
selves inaccessible. They are hard
to organize in the political sense
and insist upon certain independ-
ence which gdefies party tradition
and partisanship. While many a
man has been a lifelong Repubh-
can or Democrat and hesitates to
change his allegiance there has been
built up no such fealty on the part
of the women. They are Inclined
therefore to Judge the candidates
and the parties on their merits.

Harding's campaign for the presi-

adopted by the Democrats. it was
said here today by Harry M. Daugn-

There was no intention, ne de-

who was Senator Hardings pre-
convention manager and now is
taking an active part in direction
of the campaign.
Now that both leading candi-
dates have been nominated for
some time, the different style Of
campaigning must be more or less
apparent to those who have been
observing events.
Without assuming to speak for
anybody but myself, l think | can
safely. say that the American peo-
pie must not expect a campaign Of
bombast to be conducted by, or in
behalf Of, the Republican candidate

Expect Visit From Women.
Marion, Aug. 20.-(United Press).
"A delegation of newly enfranchis-
ed women voters was expected to
make a pilgrimage to the front
porch here during the campaign to
hear Warren G. Harding discuss
issues OF particular interest to
women.
Republican parry leaders figure
the Republican stand on the League
Of Nations and prohibition will
meet the approval Of women and
will cultivate this new source OF
votes on these two issues, though
appeals on behalf of lower taxes,
more efficient government and 9TH
er subjects will not be overlooked.

Harding today. he was expected
to catch up on his mail. see few

MAKING GOLD CHEAP

There are not so many people in Nevada as there used to be, the latest census figures reveal, but re- cent developments may vastly in- crease the contribution of that state to the country's wealth notwith- standing. A few days ago more than 2,000 of Nevada's most prom inent people, headed by the govern or, motored out into the desert to watch a gold miner What would have one of the '49ers thought had he gotten such a reception, when with pick, shovel and washing pan he prepared to develop the resources of Nevada by standing knee deep in the icy waters of a mountain stream all day long. These pioneers operated amid the solitudes, en- gagged in a great gamble with for tune and frequently lost, but they opened the way for the astonish- ing mining developments which take gold mining out of the realm of the speculative and place it upon a basis of regular day to day output almost as dependable as that of a factory
 For the gold digger so many Ne Vada citizens went out to see was an enormous electrical dredge which scoops up the desert earth in gi- gantic buckets, each holding nine cubic feet, and passes it over a

Successful Remedy

Druggists Warn Public To Demand
 Genuine.

Every successful remedy is at once initiated Sometimes the imi- tation is cleverly made, sometimes it is crude. Of late great many dealers have warned Nash Brothers, Che manumacturing druggists, that their wonderfully effective croup and pneumonia salve is being coun- forfeited. Nash Brothers, however, state that they have no fears be- cause the imitators have overlooked most important facts:
 First, limitations cannot be mark ed "Nash's." Second, limitations are weak. Nash's Salve is strong much stronger than those out foI big profits care to make. Third the imitators cant get far because druggists are not so easily fooled.
 We suggest that when you want the genuine you name it clearly Nash's Group and Pneumonia Salve 1t comes in 30 cent and 60 cent bottles in blue boxes. Sold by P K. Turner Drug Company. adv

Heflin Predicts
 Higher Cotton Prices

Washington, Nov. 27,-Senatol
 Heflin of Alabama, in a statement
 dealing with the cotton situation of the south, declared that cotton would sell higher in a short time He based this prediction, first, on the short crop, the fifth one in this country in recent years, and next upon the apparent determination of thousands of cotton growers to hold their output indefinitely for a profitable price. He sees 3O-cent cotton by January l.
 There can be no doubt" Mir. Heflin said, about cotton prices going higher. here has never been such a cotton holding movement in the south as we find there today Our people simply cannot afford to sell at prices now offered There will be no cotton sold until the price goes back Go 30 cents and above he farmer, the merchant and the banker a the cotton growing states have done what bear manipulators and spinhers nave forced them to do They have tied up the spot cottoh market as it has never been tied np before.
 We have 1t in our power to com- ael prices that wi1 cover the cost of production and yield a profit,
The courier-index., 1920-12-03

and we are going to do it. Cot ton will sell for 30 cents before January l.
 "This is. the fifth small cotton crop in the United States. The American crop this year is 5,0OO,- 900 bales short of what the world demands of us.
 ''The tremendous slump in the prices offered for cotton is respon- sible for a half a million bales be- ing left in the fields. The final gin report will show that we ginned up to November 84 per cent of the crop of 1920"
