From a star CORRESPONDENT

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Oct 2O.-Gov-
ernor Calvin Coolidge, in an address in
this city tonight, accused the Wilson
Administration of having embarked
upon race of armaments in the ex-
travagant expenditure of money for
new battleships. He asserted that the
Republican party had pledged itself to
malptain navy no greater than the
country needs. AS a first step to make
che American navy the most powerful
In the world, regardless of the need for
it, the Governor said, the Wilson Ad-
ministration called for the building of
two dreadhoughts at cost of $4,000
600 each. He explained, however, that
the plan had been thwarted by the Re-
publican majority in Congress.
disarmament has been preached,
but it has not been practiced, by the
representatives of the Democratic
party" Governor Coolidge declared 1t
will be the purpose of the incoming
Republican Administration to make
and keep the navy 100 per cent effec-
tive, he said.
Waste in Merchant Marine
Discussing our merchant marine, the
Governor said:
I'VE have a merchant marine. the
second in point Of tonnage in the world.
1t was built by lavish expenditure OF
pubic funds and in helter-skelte
fashion foreign to American system
OF the 13,500000- odd deadwcignt tons
~,
United States Shipping Board, approx
mately 100000 tons consist of wooden
vessels and hulls which are useless for
satisfactory ocean service. We do not
want them, and nobody will buy them
save at a heavy discount"
At Knoxville, Tenn, the Governor
told his audience that the South had
grown until it now challenges the tex
tile supremacy of the North and the
steel and iron industry of Pennsyl-
vania.,
Under our national policy of pro-
lection, which opens equal opportuni-
ties to all sections of the country, you
have challenged the textile supremacy
of the North and the great steel and
iron industries of Pennsylvania" he
said.
In Knoxville two large theaters were
necessary to house the audiences. The
Governor was hurried from one to
the other and afterward was escorted
at the head of parade through streets
decorated with flags, which were woven
about portraits Of Harding and Cool
( idge.
Addresses also were made at Knox
vile by Governors Lowden of Illinois
and Morrow of Kentucky. and by Jot
Hedges. of New York, who are ac
companying Governor Coolidge.
Makes Plea to Women
At New Castle, Tenn, where Gov
ernor Coolidge spoke to an audience
composed largely Of women, he said:
AS you women know best how the
high cost of living hits the home,
want to tell you of Just one instance
of the extravaganza of the present Ad
ministration.

Truckmen's Strike Near:
Owners Reject Demands

A strike of union truckmen was
threatened last night when representa-
tives of the truck owners ard the mer-
chants associations, meeting in The
City Club, voted unanimously to re-
ject the new demands of the truckmen
for an eight-hour day and wage in
crease that would approximate ST a
week.
While representatives Of the union
said that the demands were not to be
regarded as an ultimatum, but rather
as proposal, to be given full consid-
Grafton by the employers, the atti-
tude of the employers, it was feared,
would have a tendency to stir the
drivers to walk-out.
In resolutions adopted by the en-
ployers it was asserted that the union
demands would result in an increased
labor cost to employers of 40 per cent.
1t was said that wages now paid in
New York are in excess of those paid
in other cities, and that in view of
the decline in the cost Of living, labor
should be making concessions to en-
ployers rather than demands for more
pay and shorter hours.
There will be another meeting of the
employers at the Waldorf Astoria Sum-
DAY afternoon.

Hays on his conservatism. AS a re
ward he will not have so far to fan
later into the depths of false prophecy
as his predecessors of 1916. In that
year the Republican managers claimed
405 electoral votes for Mr.. Hughes. He
actually received 254 and President
Wilson was reelected. Using the same
simple arithmetic, Senator Harding will
have no more than 244 electoral votes
this year, which about comedies with
the real estimates at Republican head
quarters.
"Mr. Hays declares that in Novcm-
ber the Republicans will carry every

cept Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas,
and that they have splendid chance to
carry Tennessee and North Carolina.

Presidential nominee, telegraphed from

Senator Pat Harrison, chairman of
the Democratic speakers bureau, re-
turned from Boston yesterday with
glowing accounts of the crowds and en-
thusiasm with which Governor Cox was
received on Boston Commons, where he
spoke Tuesday night. He agreed with
Governor Cox that they had the oppo-

Harding Will
Reject League
Denounces, in Hoboken
Speech, Efforts to Make
Him Appear Willing to
Approve u. S. Entry

Senator Harding stands for outright
rejection of the League of Nations,
and there is nothing ambiguous or un-
certain in his declaration of attitude,
Senator Hiram Johnson. of California,
league irrecohcilable, declared in an
address in Hoboken, N. j., High School
last night.
Johnson said, "certain Interested in
dividuals and newspapers may mfsrep-
resent and misiuterpret his words. 1
resent these imputations upon the sim
certy of the utterances of the candi-
date, and the manifest endeavor in
some quarters to distort his plain Ian
guage.
"From those who believe as I do, he
is entitled not only to the warmest
mmendation, but the strongest ad-
vocacy and most enthusiastic support.
The issue to-day is the League Of Ma
tions as presented by President Will
son, which Cox says he will take this
country into and which Harding saws
he won't.
"The men and newspapers who pre-
tend to be friends of Senator Harding
and who assert that he is to take this
country into the League of Nations, do
him distinct disservice and pay him
sorry compliment. | speak of course.
solely from the public utterances of
our candidate, and these utterances
Senator Harding is President, he will
not take the United States into the
league.
He characterizes the league as "a
military alliance which menaces peace
and threatens all freedom He called
it the supreme blunder' and asserted
that he would leave America free, in
dependent and self-reliant, but offer
ing friendship to all the world He
lnstanced the war between Poland and
Russia as indicating what we would
have been let in for, in the language
of Secretary of State Lansing, but for
Polish Russian war, he said brought
home to us the danger of committing
ourselves in advance to causes that WE
knew not Of
again he referred to America as 6
member of the league as 'one in a pitt
full minority among many states ir

posed what we sincerely regarded g!

SHORTS In TROUBLE

AT Least Tenn
porarily.

New York, March 1S.--The open
ing of the stock market today found
those operating on the long side in
full control Of the situation. Prac-
tically the entire active list imme-
diately displayed a sharp upward
tendency. and this continued with
out interruption for the first hour.
However. the huge volume of trans
actions during that period (amount-
ing to nearly 100000 shares) and
the manner In which many Of the
leaders advanced resulted in some
profit taking, which naturally tend
ed toward fractionally lower levels
from the high peaks reached. This,
however, was only temporary, and
throughout most of the day ad-
vances were well maintained.
Discussion for the most part was
of q favorable character, and II was
generally conceded that unless some
Unforeseen drastic development
takes place. the market, barring
temporary setbacks, will work to-
ward much higher quotations
Easier money is the foundation for
the present favorable sentiment,
and with a continuation of this sit
uation pools will be enabled to op-
crate extensively.

alfalfa fields and are very apt to mi grate from the alfalfa to cotton immc- diately after a heavy infested crop or alfalfa is cut for hay and removed from the field, particularly when the cutting and raking is started on the side away from the cotton and these and other cotton pests are virtually driven out. The principal grasshopper damage to cotton in Arizona is by a species known as the differential grass hopper. This insect is light brownish in color with black markings. The adult females are over an inch and a half in length. The voracity of these insects is indicated by a calculation made by Dr. A. w. Morrill,, formerly state entomologist, showing that when the adults average about 16 to a square yard they may consume the equivalent of a ton of hay a day in a forty y-acre alfalfa field. The number mentioned represents only moderate tnfestation.
 The other two species of grass hoppers destructive to cotton in Ari- zona are closely related. They are nearly twice as large as the differen- tia1 grasshopper. One is brown in color and the other is green. So far they have been excessively numerous in only one instance, where they com pletely defoliated a small field of cotton.
 Grasshoppers may be destroyed in 
 expense. The method consists in spreading broadcast a poisoned bait. The standard grasshopper bait con- sists of bran, molasses, Paris green, finely chopped lemons or oranges and water. The proportions of the ma terials in a bait successfully used in Arizona are as follows:
 Bran, 12R-15 pounds.
 Sawdust, 121a pounds.
 Paris green, 1 pound.
 Cantaloupe, 1 pound. fUse lemons or oranges if cantaloupes are not available.)
 Water, enough to make a crumbly mixture.
 MolaSses.
 Other insect pests include the salt marsh caterpillar, the cotton leaf per forator the southwestern cotton stain CT, the brown cotton bug and the cot ton thrips, beside a number of minor miscellaneous insect pests. Of the pests enumerated, all except the Mexi-
