M'ADOO WILL TAKE
STUMP FOR GOV. COX

NEW YORK. July 29.--Wm. Gs Me
Adoo announced today he had consent.
ed to deliver some speeches in behalf
of Gov. Cox, the Democratic nominee.
during what he said would be Wig
orous and aggressive campaign.
In statement issued after con-
ference with George White, chairman
Of the Democratic national committee,
and Gov. Cox's secretary, held at MIR.
McAdoo's home in Huntington last
night, Mr. McAdoo warned that the
people would not stand for purchased

light of pitiless publicity be turned on
campaign expenses during the forth

Mr.. McAdoo stated that at the con-
ference "the formidable campaign fund

ANT|SUFFRAG|STS
/ TO MEET GOV. COX

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 29.--Gov.
Cox has been requested to grant hear
ing to the women of the South on ques-
tons of state rights and party honor
in a telegram sent the Democratic
presidential nominee by the Southern
Women's league for rejection of the
Susan b, Anthony amendment. 1t was
signed by Mrs. James S. Pinlkhard. of
Montgomery, Ala, president-general OF
the league.
The message declared that the 'home-
loving women of the South. who do not
picket, card-index or blackmail candi-
dates, appeal to you as the leader of the
Democratic party to grant us hearing
not on woman suffrage, which any
state can adopt for itself without
changing a comma of the federal con-
stitution, but on two fundamental Demo-
cratic principles, state rights and party
honor"
The appeal was made, the message
continued, because it was proposed to
bring about the political CONSUMPTION
of our womanhood and the destruction
of Southern civilization by using fed
eral patronage and party pressure to
coerce the legislators of Tennessee into
violating their solemn oaths of office
and their states constitution"

VOTE FOR AMENDMENT
NOT VIOLATION OF OATH

KNOXVILLE. Tenn. July 29.-Any
members OF the Tennessee Legislature
may vote either for or against the
Susan 3. Anthony amendment when
1t comes up for ratification at the spe-
cial session of the legislature which
is scheduled for Aug. s, without violat-
ing his oath Of office, according to an
opinion rendered here by Gen. James
A. Fowler, former assistant U. S. at
torney-general under President Taft, in
reply to query put by State Senator
E. e. Patton, Republican.
The provisions Of the state and fed
eral constitutions which appear at first
glance to contradict each other, do not
do so in reality, Gen. Fowler holds,
as in his opinion, the provisions of the
state constitution which require that
the legislature which acts upon a fed
eral constitutional amendment be elect
ed after the amendment is passed by
congress is rendered nudity by the
federal constitution, which holds that
an amendment is ratified after three
fourths of the states have voted for
ratification. making no stipulation as
to the election of the members of state
legislatures. The opinion further states
that when the federal and state con-
situations fail to agree, the federal con
stitution takes precedence.

Graeco-Roman Baths Are ;. = "Dolled Up" for Senate

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. (By The Associated Press.)-The Graeco-Roman, baths of the United States Senate, installed nearly eight years ago, but never put into ser vice, are now being cleared of the cObwebs and stains of time, and will be in shape to offer their luxuries of steam, plunge, shower and electric ity to the members of the new Sen ate, when it assemblies. Charges of extravaganza were aimed at the baths in Congressional debate and the power of administration, swung from Republican to Democratic and as a result, the baths, installed in the Senate office building, were shorn of their expensive equipment, bereft of their attendants and left to gloom. The marble slabs, Turkish rugs and steam proof tables and chairs were turned over to Govern ment hospitals and only the marble shells and nickle fittings left in place.
 Now, however, the baths are corr ing back, but under new plan. Members of the Senate themselves will pay a large part of the operating expenses, and a special unofficial committee has taken charge of the assets, which will be levied against each user in proportion to the ser vice he exacts.
