ALL DEMOCRATS TALKING
COX, GARDNER DECLARES
Ohio Governor Being Looked to Strongly For Vic
tory, is Indication at
San Francisco

both have been in Congress; both
are newspaper proprietors and both
are average speakers.
5. Cox has stood for personal
liberty, including free speech, free
assembly and the right of labor to
organize. Harding is the Mitchell
Palmer of the Republican party on
these matters.
Long Liberal Record
Cox has long record of legislation
which he helped to pass favorable to
labor, farmers and business, as well
as the well known Ohio constitutional
convention which he helped to liberal
ize.
Finally it is urged in behalf of
Cox that the issue, as between pro-
gressive policies and reaction could
not be better emphasized than by
the nomination of the Democratic
candidate from the same state as the
Republican candidate, making Ohio
the storm center of the canvas and
making the home records of the can
didates the text of the debate.
Mitchell Palmer will show most
votes on the first roll-call. While
his managers claim over 500 he has
pledged about half that number. This
means nothing for reasons previously
stated.
Will the ghost of McAdoo stay
laid? That's one thing that worries
them all. No matter how emphatic
he makes his reputation there is a
secret fear in the hearts of all other
managers that he is only being coy
But anyhow the Cox people are now
going after the McAdoo following
with both hands.
Bryan a Candidate, Too
Bryan, of course is going to have
lot to say. Incidentally he has an
nounced that he is opposed to Cox be-
cause Cox is Wet. If it were not for
this Dry and Wet issue Cox would
probably be an almost unopposed
candidate.
And, Of course, Bryan is really a
candidate himself-all the more so
since Chicago named Harding.

A regular old-fashioned San
Francisco fog hit the town last
evening. The fog was so thick that
the long legged boys from Texas
and Kentucky couldn't see their
feet.
This town is much wetter than
Chicago. But that is only natural,
the Pacific ocean being much
larger than Lake Michigan.
Son-in-law McAdoo's refusal to

this command he saw service in Syria
and other countries, where the
French and allies fought against the

visited Jerusalem and other historic

General Gourgelaud during the very

was genuinely uninterested and the
convention took on much the char

Mr.. Bryan for the Dry League and
Everybody Else for the Vets.
Now the Democratic managers
have started a real honest-to-good-

pianks for a sure-enough progressive
platform.
Cox and Harding Opposite
All of which accounts logically for
sudden and almost unexpected
prominence of the Cox boom. What
about James M. Cox of Ohio?
What indeed?
1. He can carry Ohio in the
election over Harding, having
demonstrated the fact by being
elected governor three times, and
winning the last time in spite of
the election Of Republicans to ev-
cry other state office.
2. He is the antithesis to
Harding. AS the Republicans
pride themselves on the reaction
ary record of Harding so the Dem
ocrats pride themselves on the pro-
gressive record of Cox.
3. AS Harding is certain to al
ienate the labor vote, Cox has al
ways polled the labor vote.

editors; both were poor newsboys;

GARRICK-"S onya.''

"Sonya," romantic drama, calling
to mind THE Prisoner of Zenda" and
| Rupert of Hentzau." success Of a
decade or more ago, is being given It's
| first production in this country at the
| SEubert-Garrick Theater this week.
Its author is Gabryela Zapolska,
| Polish woman writer. and the play
has been adapted for the English
! speaking stage by Edith Ellis. 1t Is
presented by Marc Klaw, incorporated.
| 'Sonya" has a strong romantic ap-
peal. 1t is 4 story of love and in
/ trigue, particularly intrigue. in
court In eastern Europe in the latter
part of the nineteenth century
''Sonya" has a well chosen cast Fio-
| let Heming as Sonya, the dancing girl.
| and Otto Kruger as the prince. by
| deft acting. charm and naturalness
| rob the play of the sense of un-
! reality which might hang about 1t in
these more democratic days. The sup
porting players all are capable and
| the production has been handsomely
| staged.
The manner In which human beings
are used as pawns In this intrigue of
q European court comes rs something
| of a shock to the republican mind In a
country where white slavery" is q
criminal offense severely punished
In "Sonya' the author deals In plain
English with the procuring of a mis-
tress for the young prince-as though
it were a commonplace event and
should not arouse anything but u
passing interest
That the prince happens to be
clean minded young man and the girl
girl of the people, with Ideas of
honor and virtue quite incomprehensi-
BILE to the plotters of the court Is
happy conjunction of circumstances
that makes the play possible. The
serdid element is removed from their
love and the sympathies of the audi
ence aroused.
1t might be hazarded that the play
comes n little bit late; that 1t should
have been produced, say, In 1913, when
czars, kings and princes were still
looked upon In many countries As
adernments of society and their M
tiens. Potentates of the kind depict
ed In 'Senya" have we'll nigh ceased
to be since the world war and Its up
heayals. But. at any rate, the play
serves to illustrate what Il good rid
dance the less of these courts and
kings has been. In the end the young
prince is called upon to sacrifice his
love for the good of his people. and
such Is his love that 1t helps him to
make the sacrifice. Again, to the repub-
day q useless one.
When the play opens a young prince
Is disclosed for whom the minister of
state is trying to find a mistress. The
prince. however. is q woman hater,
apparently He will have nothing to
do with any of the feminine sex. Then
Sonya is brought to him. in the garb
of n boy-a Cossack dancer from the
imperial troupe. She has been in
structed as to what is expected of her.
The prince discovers she is girl and
orders her out. She pleads to be al
lowed to remain as his comrade. as
any other boy. In this way. Sonya
argues. he will be able to put an end
to furnish him a mistress. and she
will be in no danger of being sold to
another.
How the plan works out and with
what results the following two acts
