.HARDING'S 81 WHEAT
SPEECH PLAQUES HIM

On Board Gov. Cox's Special
Train, Sept. 20-The democratic
leaders of Washington State are
using the dollar wheat" slogan
against Senator Harding to the
limit.
Washington is a wheat growing
state of first Importance and po-
litically it is one of the most in
dependent states in the Union,
Consequently the democratic
campaign managers regard the
opportunity to array the farmers
against Senator Harding as being
Especially inviting.
Copies of the speech made by
Senator Harding in the United
States Senate when the wheat
guarantee legislation was up for
consideration in 1918 are being
circulated among the farmers and
the democratic speelbinders have
instructions to make a strong
point of this speech when cam
paigning in the wheat belt.
That is the speech in which
Senator Harding declared that
raising dollar wheat was a profit
able occupation in peace time and
he said he knew farmers who
were coming into Ohio and buy
ing land at $3.50 an acre for the
purpose of raising wheat for the
market at a dollar a bushel.
A. r. Titlow, of Tacoma, demo-
cratic national committeeman for
Washington State, was one of the
most optimistic prognosticators
the Cox party met up. with i'll
traversing that commonwealth.
"The electoral vote of Wash
ington State is as certain to be
cast for Cox and Roosevelt as is
the electoral vote of Florida"
said Mr.. Titlow. 81 am speaking
of a personal knowledge of condi-
tions all over the state. Why,
we are even going to carry Gray's
Harbor county this year, and it is
the strongest republican county
in the state"
"To what do you attribute the
bright democratic prospect which
you describe? ?" he was asked.
"To the League of Nations. The
people of this state are over
whelmingly for the League. The
women of the state are for it
with great unanimity but no more
than the men. Every
body wants the League and near
ly all of the republicans are COM
pletely disgusted with Senator
Harding's vacillating attitude in
regard to it. They don't know
one minute what position to ex-
pect him to take the next. There
is also a lot of opposition to Sena-
tor Harding in the farming dis
tricts because of his reported at
titude in favor of dollar wheat"

COX CRABS EN-
OUT ON COAST
Even Old Line Republicans Praise
Him and Irish Pledge Him
Their Support

San Luis Obispo, Cal, Sept. &c
Evidence is coming to light
daily that the shouts and applause
which have greeted Gov. James
M. Coxs' utterances in the state OF
California are expressive not only
OF admiration for the qualities of
the man, but, politicians say, that
they mean votes for next Novem-
Der.
After the meeting in Oakland
Saturday night, Benjamin Ike
Wheeler, former president of the
University of California, and life
long republican, approached him
on his speech and subsequently
made the statement that the nom
lnee's argument on the League of
Nations was unanSwerable, it was
learned today.
AT the same meeting an Irish
leader of Oakland attempted to
heckle the speaker about the Ir-
ish question. Cox replied that
without the League of Mathis Ire
land had not the right to appeal
even to a squires' court" and
added that if Ireland should
achieve her independence "She
would have more reasons than
any one else TO bless Article X
Tor the services which it would
render to her"
The Irish leader ended by as
suring Cox he intended to vote
for him and the same sentiment
was voiced by at least 20 Irish
men who were in the audience.
Similarly an Irishman who has
been active in promoting senti-
ment for the freedom Of Ireland
visited Cox at his San Francisco
hofel to say that there were num-
crous natives of the Emerald Isle |
who had been satisfied with his
promise to present the Irish cause !
to the League of Nations soon af-
ter March 4, 1921.
Sings of changing sentiment
among the Irish voters are said to
be disturbing to republican lead
ers OF this state. who, it is assert |
ed, have been active in stirring up |
racial hatred among not only the |,
Irish, but Italians and Germans /
as well.
The nomination of Senator
Warren G.. Harding, it is de
clared here, was not pleasing to
them. Then the democrats nom
mated man who. politicians say, /
thinks and talks along the same
lines as California republicans
have been thinking for ears.
The democratic nominee slowly |
is filling his cabinet on his West i
ern trip. To the "dirt farmer"
who is to be Secretary of Agri-
culture, and to the Western man
who is to be Secretary of Interior
he now has added the promise that
if elected he will appoint as
of his cabinet an eminent
if he can find one who
will serve. In this connection he I
has had words of praise for Her
bert c. Hoover.
The Governor passed all of /:
Sunday en- route from Oakland to
San Diego. He will open his
California campaign to- '
day with speeches in San Diego.

LEGAL POINTS FOR
AUTOMOBILE OWNER
Public Sales Of Automobiles
Under Prohibition Laws
Risky for Buyers.
D. OUR LEGAL CORRESPONDENT.

Dx OUR LEGAL CORRESPONDENT.
A recent Georgia case illustrates
the dangers OF buying a used car
without first ascertaining the original
ownership or having a reliable dealer
to fall back upon. The facts ais
close that a car was condemned un-
der the State prohibition law on the
ground that IL had been used for the
illegal transportation of liquor. It
was sold at public auction as pro-
vided by the statute. Subsequently II
developed that the car had been stol-
en- from the owner by the one who
owner learned the location OF the csr
A., after the condemnation and public
sale and sued the purchaser to re-
cover the machine.
On behalf OF the purchaser II was
contended that a title obtained TO a
car obtained through a public sale Is
unassailable. The court decided, how
ever, that not even the public authori-
ties can convey good title TO sto'en
property. and hence the original own
er recovered his car. while the
purchaser was out his purchase
money.
In light OF this case public sales
OF automobiles are rather hazardous
places to 80 for car bargains.
In a recent case decided by the
Supreme Court Of Rhode Island II is
