GOVERNOR COX
IN final FIGHT
Centers Last Week of Campaign In
Ohio and Indiana-Is
Optimistic.

Enroute With Governor Cox, Hin
ton, w. Va, Oct. 25.-tUnited
Press).-Governor James NJ. Cox
today was moving westward to
wage his final fight for the presi-
dency in Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and
West Virginia
With only seven working days"
OF the campaign remajning. the
Democratic strategy apparently was
to center the main stump efforts of
the candidate in Ohio and Indiana.
1t is generally admitted in Demo-
cratic circles that failure to carry
those two states would mean de-
feat for Cox.
The hottest fight Of the campaign
is looked for this week in Ohio, as
both candidates will spend most Of
their time speaking In their home
state.
Cox today was invading West Vir-
ginia for the second time. having
spoken In Wheeling shortly after
accepting the nomination. His main
speeches were to be at Charleston
and Huntington.
Tomorrow. after a short stop at
Ashland. KY, he will go hack to
Ohio and during the week. will
speak in Cincinnati, Dayton. Akron
and Toledo. Thursday night he is
scheduled to speak in Indianapolis;
SATURDAY in Chicago.
Although the governors cam
paign has been one of the most
strenuous in the history Of Ameri-
can elections. there will be no let
up until election day. He will
speak the night before election in
Toledo. that city being selected for
the final speech because Cox was
elected governor Of Ohio every time
he wound up his campaign there
and was defeated the only time he
did not follow that rule.
Cox was optimistic over the re-
suits Of his last eastern campaign.
The tide toward the League of Ma
ticns came with leaps and bounds
during the last week. according to
reports to the Democratic national
committee. he said.
The governor found Democratic
contributions weze coming in more
rapidly and as a result the party
organization was to make a su-
preme effort this week to win Nov.

DEMOCRATS
ASSUREDOF
KENTUCKY
League Of Nations Issue
and Negro Question
Helps Cox.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus).

Louisville, KY, Oct. 23.-If Chair
man Will Hays is basing his pre-
dictions of Republican success in
the nation on the factors that are
expected. for example. to make
Kentucky Republican state. then
there is something wrong about the
information at Republican national
headquarters.
For Kentucky is Democratic.
Weeks ago it was claimed by the
Republicans. Today they admit it
is close. The Democrats are talk
ing about a landslide with absolute7
ly the same kind of confidence that
one gets in Republican circles in
New York state.
Something like a religious fervor
is sweeping Kentucky on the
League Of Nations issue. The drift
here is very much like that in In
diana-an 18th hour turn on the
League of Na.ions-though in Ken
lucky the growth of sentiment has
been more gradual and is coming
now like a tide.
The Republicans really did have
a chance to carry Kentucky.
There's no doubt about it. Last
year they carried the sta,e for gov
ernor by a 10000 majority. But
the Republican administration has
been in a year and has developed
some weaknesses that will cost the
national ticket many votes. The
biggest mis- axe the Republicans
have made however. is the raising
Of the race issue. Woman suffrage
came and the Republicans directly
or indirectly encourage the negroes
by every kind of approach-the ne
gro newspapers. the church, the
schools. And in the Louisville dis
trict. more than twelve thousand
negro women registered as Repub-
licans TO not more than twenty af-
filiated as Democrats. Fully 10000

CONDITION OF
GRECIAN KING
CAUSES WORRY
Alexander's Death Would
Precipitate Grave In
ternal Crisis.

Athens, Oct. 25.-King Alexan-
der's condition has become worse,
says a bulletin issued At 4 osclock
last night. His heart is seriously
affected and he is suffering from
suffocation. 1t is stated.
The disproportion Of the kings
pulse to his respiration. with his
increasing temperature, is causing
the gravest anxiety.
Death Would Bring Crisis.
The kings death would precipi-
tate a dramatic international strug-
gle in which the most astute old
world politicians will name the
successor to the Greek throne.
Those who have watched events
in the Hellenic kingdom foresee an
intense internal crisis which will
tax to the uttermost the strength
of the political masters of Greece
Eleutherios Venzelos. who. while
long nursing a hope for the estab-
lishment of a republic, believes the
time for the change is not ripe.
First interest in the selection OF
Alexander's successor lies in the
attitude of Great Britain and
France.
Prince Arthur Of Connaught is
expected to be the choice OF Eng,
land for the Grecian throne. This
selection is expected to have the
assent of France.
Prince christopher.
In Rome. where he expected tt
be ready for an immediate journe,
to Greece in an attempt to gair
the throne, is Prince Christopher
younger brother Of the former
King Constantine, uncle OF thu
dead monarch.
Backed by the millions of hi'
wife, the former Mrs. William B
Leeds. Christopher has been solic
iting Italian aid for the restoration
of the Constantine regime.
| He has been reported to desir'
the throne either for himself .or hi
eldest son George. but in his as
pirations ran against the decided
opposition of Venzelos. the irol
/ man of Greece, who bluntly in
formed him that neither he nor hi
eldest son should ever mount tn
| throne.

for Burial-Funeral at
Cork Cathedral.

London, Oct 2a-Terence
MacSwiney, Lord Mayor Of
Cork, died ut Brixton prison,
this city, at-S:4O this morning.
His death followed q hunger
strike Of more than - days,
ecilpsing any in the annals Of
the medical wGrid. s
MacSwiney, who had been un-
conscious for several days, did not
recover his faculties before he died
Father Dominick, his private chap
lain. and his brother, John Mac
Swiney, were with him when the
end came. Father Dominick was at
the prison all night and did not
leave until several hours after
MacSwiney breathed his last.
John MacSwiney and the chap
pain, who had been waiting down.
stairs in the prison, were told by
prison officials at ABS o'clock that
they should go to the mayors bed
side. as they thought death was
approaching. The brother asked
for the privilege Of communicating
with other relatives who were not
present, but the officials. il is said,
refused him the use of the tele-
phone.
After the prisoners death. his
brother and the chaplain, were per-
mitted to leave BriXton prison until
Is o'clock. John MacSwiney i'm
mediately conveyed word to the
widow of the lord mayor, who was
staying at West End hotel.

Mrs MacSwiney, accompanied
! by her parents and the Misses
! Annie apd Mary MacSwiney. sis
ters Of the yord mayor. arrived 1t
Brixton prison at $50 q. m.
| II is understoOd that arrange
ments are being made to take the
body to Ireland for burial.
News of MacSwiney's death had
not become known in the district
| around Brixton prison until after 3
o'clock. The usual large contin-
gent Of police was on duty inside
| the prison grounds to prevent any
demonstration, but outside, and
along the road leading to the main
+, highway, there were no unusual
signs Of activity. No civilians were
waiting there as they usually did
in the early days of the lord
mayors hunger strike.
Inquest To-day.
1t is probable that the inquest
will be held at the prison today
after which the body will be turned
over to relatives.
f.. MacSwiney was unconscious for
36 hours before his death occurred
it is stated. Father Dominick,
therefore, was unable to give him
the communion, but he admins
tered extreme JUNCTION.
The cause of MacSwiney's death
was heart failure, according to q
statement issued at the home cMce
This statement is considered an
indirect answer to the criticisms OF
DR. Josiah OIdfield, the physician
and publicist, who had declared II
