Special Dispatch to The Tribune


DAYTON. Ohio, Oct. 21-Examina-
tion of the files of The Dayton News
Governor CoX's own newspaper, brings
to light an interesting comparison of
the manner in which The News is pre-
senting the facts of the campaign to its
readers and charges Cox has made
against other newspapers.
The comparison is interesting solely
because Cox, in stumping the country
has repeatedly charged that there is
"a conspiracy of silence" against him
in the press of the nation.
The Democratic candidate has reit-
Grated time and time again that the
other side was unfair" in that it
would not print his speeches in full
and did not present both sides of the
question, giving greater prominence to
Senator Harding than to himself Cox
has gone so far as to appeal to editors
to use certain of his statements in full.
Examination of files of The News
discloses that no Conspiracy of silence
could be much more complete than that
Cox maintains against the Republican

Mercury so on Hottest
October 2I in 49 Years
Climb of 20 Degrees in 20
Hours Noted by W Gather Man;
He Sees Eren Warmer Duvs

The mercury in New York thermom-
eters yesterday suddenly awoke and
sped upward 20 degrees in less than
twenty hours. At o'clock the Weather
Bureau reported that all records for
October p in the last forty-nine years
had been broken. At that hour the
temperature was 80 degrees atop the
Whitehall Building, while in the streets
1T was as high as 81 T.
At the same hour Wednesday the
temperature registered SO degrees. One
year ago yesterday the highest tenn
perature was So and the lowest 81.
Summer is back" said the weather
man weariy. And what is more" he
added. "it will stay for the next three
or four days"
He attributed this to the unusually
high pressure prevailing over south
eastern sections, with extremely low
pressure over the north. At this sea
son of the year the pressure is usual
ly reversed.
From Washington came word that so
far as eastern New York was concerned
to-day would witness slight advance
in heat over yesterday while little
little change in temperature would
occur in New Jersey and Pennsylvania,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct 21.-Before
crowd of more than $4,000 persons,
who crammed every nook and corner of
Convention Hall tonight, Senator
James A. Reed made his long g-awaited
declaration of independence" The
Senator virtually bolted the Democratic
national ticket and all Senatorial can
didates who are for the League of Ma
tions. This includes Breckenridge
Long, the Democratic nominee for the
United States Senate in Missouri.
By announcing his support of the
state and county Democratic tickets
Senator Reed kept his feet inside the
party, and thus retained a semblance of
regularity.
The meeting tonight was the most
novel political affair ever held in Kan
sas City. The Senator introduced him
self. Only friends sat on the platform
beside him. There were no officers
such as like gatherings usually have.
No band-only Reed, and throng.
The speech was described by friends
as being Reeds greatest effort. In it
he went further than he ever has gone
in his controversy with the Admins
tration, denying vehemently the re-
port that he broke with the President
over the distribution of patronage.
Sketching the constitutional func-
lions Of the executive and legislative
branches of the government, Senator
Reed aroused a demonstration when he
launched vitriolic attack on one-man
rule.
In defending his war record, Senator
Reed made it plain he was indirectly
answering the attacks made on him by
Governor CoX's newspapers.
Speaks Only for Himself
II called this meeting myself" said
Senator Reed. "No political party
committee or candidate is in any way
responsible for what | have to say to-
night.
at is repeatedly charged that my
opposition to so-called Administration
measures was inspired by a dispute

honor would permit a dispute over
patronage to affect his official conduct

Colby Holds Liquor
OF Diplomats Immune
Threatens to Use International
La,o to Stop Seizures Ordered
bv the Treasury Department

From, The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-If the
customs officials of the Treasury De-
partment and the prohibition enforce
ment officers in New York Harbor in
sist upon carrying out the Treasury
Department order providing for
search and seizure of liquors in diplo-
matte baggage the American State De-
partment will invoke international
law to save foreign representatives
from this embarrassment, Secretary Of
State Colby indicated to-day
International law antedates any re-
cent amendment to the American Con-
stitution. Mr.. Colby said, in express
ing confidence that the time -honored
custom of granting immunity to all
diplomatic representatives who are ac-
credited to the United States would
not be swept aside by any ruling made
by the dry enforcement officers.
Asked what the State Department
would do in the event of seizure of
liquors destined for foreigners who
mats to the United States, Secretary
Colby indicated that he felt no doubt
but that any court would quickly re-
store the property to the owners On
the established theory that their prop-
erty was immune from inspection ct
the port OF entry.
Secretary Colby dismissed the sug
gestion that the apparent conflict be-
tween the Treasury and State depart-
ments might be referred to the Presi
dent for adjudication by remarkinn
that there was no immediate necessity
for that step 20 be taken.

candidates In his own newspaper. Re-
publicans here suggest that he is doing
exactly what he accuses other editors OF
doing. Perhaps that is what inspired
him to the charge.
Here are the facts, as shown by an
examination Of The News files: In the
two weeks from October 6 until Octo-
zer 20, inclusive, The News carried
exactly 9S8 inches of stories concern
ing Mr. CoXs speaking tours. In the
same length of time, Mr.. Cox's news
paper carried 10S inches of news
stories concerning CoX's running mate,
Franklin Roosevelt
In that same length of .ime, Cox's
newspaper gave exactly thirty-four
inches, or less than two colamns, to
mention Of Warren q. Harding, who in
the space of these two weeks made a
number of important addresses and
pronouncements. Calvin Coolidge, Re-
publican Vice Presidential choice, re-
ceived just one inch of space in Coxs
newspaper in that time. The ratio holds
true for Cox's newspaper ever since he
was nominated.

ON A FRENCH TRAIN.

From "A Year as Government Agent,
 by Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse, di-
 rector for Switzerland of the Commit
 tee on Public Information in 1918. (Har- per & Bros, New York.)
 Traveling in the French railway com partments was agony to me, because tEere is a piece of metal that runs down the middle of the compartments between the two rows of seats, and that is the heating apparatus. You cannot sit on your foot very comfortably, because the seats are not wide enough, and you soon begin to feel cramped. The foot you are not sitting on has to rest on the heating apparatus. If you wear the kind of high heeled, thin-soled American slippers that have always worn and still wear, it becomes plain torture. I have talked about the method of heating to fellow travellers, who sat with both feet firmly planted on the metal strip, and they although they said sometimes their leather soles were burned and then they didn't wear so long,
 Whatever the dangers are that Turk about women travelling alone at night, they do not exist in a French railway carriage. Of course, am middle-aged woman, but I met only the greatest inn personal kindnes sand courtesy. I have been thrown with officers on their way back to the front after leave and on their way to leave. have seen civilians on every sort of errand, and have learned to love a Frenchman when he travels.
 On all the trips there was one similar ity-there was the excessive heat and no air. and no Frenchman could be per suaded to let in any air. A draught w1A who must have been living for years in trenches, seemed to cling to the heredi- tary dread of draught.

LUKE M'LUkE SAYS

Everything but the line of modesty in low-necked waists seems to be going ID these days. The line of modesty is going down.
 Many married man wishes that his wifes usind was as broad as her hips.
 A girls brother wouldn't walk 10 steps for her when some other girls brother would walk 10 miles for her.
 The other day we ran into the o. f. tad who sleeps in his underwear and who thinks that any man who wears a night shirt is dude.
 When the children act mean all day nav saves up her indignation and un- loads it on poor paw when he gets home In this way she avoids beating the children and puts the blame where the hlame belongs. Did you ever hear man thanking the Lord because he has more than he deservese, Neither have we.
 No matter how pretty girl may be she is never prettier than she thinks she is.
 If you do not pay as you go you will soon get to a point where you must pay as you come.

TRUCKS IN ALABAMA MUD From the Mobile Register.

On recent boosting trip from Birning- ham to Tuscaloosa in the interests of transportation by truck, twenty-four trucks started and two got to their desti- nation without mishap, while the others got stuck in the mud en route Thus a most striking example of the need of good roads is furnished. It has also been the desire of Birmingham to establish motor truck communication with Mississippi points, but the same old bugbear of bad roads intervenes to discourage all plans. The whole state is concerned over the fate of the Birmingham plans. for what is true of one part of the state is true also of every other part. Communi- cation overland is made impossible by poor roads. Therefore, the whole state joins in the demand for permanent hard surfaced roads that will be at all times passable for heavily loaded vehicles. The manufacturer and the farmer join in posting for good roads. Every voter in the state will have oportunity next Mon day to boost in a way that counts. He may cast his vote in favor of the good roads amendment to the state constitu- tion, and he may thus make possible without any property tax statewide sys- ten. of paSsable roads.
