HARDING IS 8 TO |
EAVORITE over COX
Especial to the Tribune)

New York, Sept. 22.-Big changes
in the election betting in Wall Street
occurred recently as the result of
the overwhelming victory of the Re-
publicans in the State of Maine. The
odds on Senator Harding, Republican
candidate for the presidency, shot up
to to 1, and some wagers were said
to have been made at odds of to 1.
These are the highest odds which have
prevailed since the betting on the
present campaign began.
W. L. Darnell & Co., who are hand
ling election bets in the financial dis
trict, reported yesterday wager of
IS, 200 to $4,000 on Harding. Several
thousand more which this company
offered at the same odds went beg
ging Cox money was exceedingly
scarce after the Maine election fig
ures became known, and the most
persistent followers of Cox, with one
or two exceptions, were holding out
for 4 to l. Darnell & Co. are Offering
to that Harding will carry Ohio,
Tut found no takers yesterday. Even
money was being offered that Hard
ing will get more votes in Greater
New York than will Gov. Smith in
running for reelection.
Nathan L. Miller, Republican nomi-
nee for governor, was slight favorite
yesterday over Goc Smith, odds of
to being offered against the pres
ent incumbent. At the beginning of
the campaign Gov. Smith was a 2 to
1 favorite.

COOLIDGE SAYS
COX IS TRYING
ward POLITICS
Especial to the Tribune)

Boston, Mass, Sept. 22.-Assertion
that Governor Cox, after attempting
the role of an idealist, had turned to
the coarse methods of ward politics,
resorting to wilder and wilder charges,
was made recently by Gov. Coolidge,
the Republican vice-presidential can
didate.
The governor, addressing the Re
publican state convention, said the
Democratic nominee was named by a
convention in which "idealists had
very little influence"
yet" he added, after receiving a
baptism of idealism at the White
House he attempted for a time the
role Of an idealist. He was to be the
apostle of the great and solemn refer
endum.' His address of acceptance
started that way.
"But the success has not been
marked Soon the methods of ward
politics prevailed. To that eminent
valetudinarian in the White House, a
master of logical expression, correct
of style, always dignifed, as he has
'beheld his exponent resorting to coars-
er and coarser methods, wilder and
wilder charges, the referendum must
for him become solemn and more
solemn.
Ideals are projected ty the sur
roundings no less than the man. Lin
coin had Garrison, Sumner, Steward,
Stanton, Grant and Farragut. He
spoke with their voice no less than
his own.
when both the background and
the man are wanting, what chance is
there for ideals?
The Republican party has not been,
is not lacking in idealism, either in it's
history, purposes or leaders. Who
can name an established ideal they
have not cherished. There is none.
1t has furnished four-f fifths of the
states necessary to enroll the ideal
ism of the nation in the public service
through equal suffrage. Through the
ages woman had been natural counsel
lor of man. In her solicitude for the
welfare of her children, she IS the
idealist of the world She is destined
to walk hand in hand with Republican
purposes to the glory of our nation"

ESQ CONVERTS IN
BAPTIST REVIVAL
At TAMPA, FLA
(By Associated Negro Press)


Tampa, Fla, Sept. 22.-Perhaps thd
largest baptismal class ever held id
the city gathered on Spring street al
the river Sunday, when Rev. o. wi
BARLEY of the Bowman NJ E. church
administered the sacrament to 1876 coll
ored people. Rev. BARLEY was assist
ed in the rites by his brother, Revl
BARLEY of Palatka.
The ceremonies took place at the
foot of Kay street, where hundreds of
spectators, both white and coloredl
had collected to view the proceedings
The entire class was baptized without
mishap, though many exhibited some
slight reluctance at the prospect of
the immersion. Inspired by the sight,
several hundred of the spectators pro-
fessed their willingness to join the
church, and $50 converts were admit
ted. Following the baptismal cere-
monies proper, the candidates were
taken to Bowman M. 2. church, where
the fellowship rites were conferred.
Owing to the size of the class, the fell
lowship ceremonies took place in the
open air, a special permit having been
granted for the proceedings. Rev.
BARLEY is well known in colored &C.
clesiastical circles, having been in the
city in charge of his flock for ten
years. He is largely responsible for
the completion of the Bowman church
which. prior to his advent, had rested
in an incompleted state for many
years. Due to his energetic efforts,
the church was completed and has
done fine work here in Tampa.

ISOLATION POLICY
in RECENT ADDRESS

Portland, Me-, Sept. 22.-The asser-
tion that the republican party stands
for a foreign policy Based upon recog-
milton of the fact that the United
Staes is not isolated was made here
recently in an address by Gov. Cool
idge of Massachusetts, republican can
didate for vice-president.
Ever since this nation was estab-
lished, ever since it adopted as its
emblem the splendor of the rising
dawn" Gov. Coolidge said, "It has
never been isolated. All the earth
has turned to that vision of hope
Not isolated, but Independent, free,
rendering service to all mankind not
on compulsion but in response to the
national conscience. The republican
party resents the imputation that it
seeks to do any less than render that
service now. By it's history, by it's
platform, by the solemn assurances
of its candidate it completely refutes
that charge.
Il believe humanity would welcome
the creation of an international asso-
citation for conference" he added
"and world court whose verdicts
upon justiciable questions this coun-
try, in common with all nations,
would be willing and able to uphold
The decision of this court or the rec
ommendation of such a conference
could be accepted without sacrificing
on our part or asking any other
power to sacrifice one iota of its ma
tionality."
Sees Maine as Test Ground.
Gov. Coolidge paid tribute to Maine
as frontier state, saying that "as
the nature of your development made
you a frontier state so the date of
your staet election puts you on the
frontier of American politics and
makes you politically a pioneer state.
Here the great parties meet in their
first test of strength. Because of the
intelligence, loyalty and patriotism of
your citizens, because of the enlight-
ened conscience of your people, there
is no place where such a test would
have greater significance"
He referred to "the eminent men"
who have represented the state in
national affairs-to Dingley, Hale,
Frye, Reed and Blaine, and said:
'These men believed in the develop
ment of the material resources of the
nation, and they believed the business
of the nation ought to be owned not
by the government but by the people
They believed the only safeguard of
liberty was not in personal but con-
stitutional government. They believed
in America for Americans. But they
knew that the destiny of our country
could not be separated from the des,
tiny of the world, and that America
could not be America unless it bore

BLACK MAN Will
RUN FOR GOVERNOR
STATE OF ARKANSAS
Especial to the Tribune)

Little Rock, Ark, Sept 22.-T. j.
Terrall, secretary of state, Tuesday
night announced that the name of
j. Fl. Blount, Negro, Of Forest City,
will appear on the ballot in the No
vember election as candidate for gov
ernor.
His announcement followed a con-
ference Tuesday at which he and
State Attorney Arbuckle heard argu-
ments of representatives of both the
regular Republican organization of
the state and of the Negroes who
bolted the Republican state conven-
ton last spring. AT this conclusion
the attorney general expressed the
opinion that Blount was entitled to
make the race as an independent and
Secretary Terrall announced that he
could certify Blounts name, provided
the certification was in regular form.
Scipio A. Jones, local colored law
yer, who represents Blount, said that
Blount is making the race with the
sole object of polling more votes than
Wallace Townsend, regular Republi-
can nominee for governor. Jones said
the Negroes were, in effect, ruled out
of the Republican party at the last
state convention and that they wished
to prove to the Republican national
committee that they. make up the
bulk of the Republican voters in Ar
kansas.

PHOENIX WELCOMES
GOVERNOR COX

All Phoenix joined in welcoming
Governor Cox of Ohio, Wednesday,
Sept. %, on the occasion of his visit
to the Salt River valley Governor
Cox is a pleasing speaker, gifted in
the art, and withal entertaining. He
spoke to a crowd variously estimated
at between $4,000 and 10000 people,
at the State Fair grounds. He prom
ised to continue the Wilson form of
government, which statement caused
ripple of applause from small
group of democratic cohorts who evi-
IDENTIFY were satisfied with the present
dynasty.
A jinx seems to be following the
Democratic candidates. Franklin D.
Roosevelt narrowly escaped serious
injury in an airplane several weeks
ago, and Wednesday, as the Cox spe-
cial was speeding towards Prescott,
the rails spread and four cars of the
train left the track. None of the party
was seriously injured, but all were
given a good shaking-up. The train
was re-routed over the Southern Pa
cific to Deming, N. M, where they
will be transferred to the Santa Fe
and proceed to Albuquerque, N. M.
We are pleased to have had Cover
nor Cox with us and trust he will new
er forget his trip into Arizona and. the
thrilling experience afforded

TOWARD HISPLAN
Would League Members
Accept Association
Put Up to Him

CHICAGO. Oct. 12-The question
of whether the members of the
League of Nations would accept the
new Association of Nations" was
put up to Senator Harding, the Re-
publican presidential nominee, today
in a statement issued here by Con-
gressman Dormus, chairman of the
Mid-Western Democratic committee.
Does Senator Harding think that
the forty-one nations already in the
League of Nations will disband and
join his association" asks the state
ment, which concludes with the as
sertion that "the only inference to
be drawn from Senator Harding's re-
marks on the subject is that he is a
bush leaguer,' playing with Mexico,
Turkey and Bolshevistic Russia"
