COST $5O0,0OO TO
 COVER CONVENTIONS
Newspapers Spent Great Sum for Authentic Political News

Washington August Especial )--That the contemplating newspapers of the United States in securing representation at the Chicago and San Francisco convention expended approximately s5oO.000, is the estimate of correspondents in Washing. ton. This sum was expended in paying the expenses of and in withstanding tele- graphic tolls on news from 800 staff cor respondents. In view of the fact that San Francisco was so far removed from the seat of publication of the great ma jority of journals represented, the cost to newspapers in reporting the two con- ventions of 1920 was heavier than ever before in the history of the country.
 By consensus of opinion. it is established at the New York Times paid largely in excess of any other newspaper in secur- ing the reports of it's correspondents. The sum estimated to have been expended by the Times was S75,000 Ten of it's core. spoEdents left Washington and New York June 1, and after towering" both conven- tions. returned July IS. Their daily re. port from Chicago approximated 15,OO words, and from Sap Francisco l0.Us words. The service From San Francisco was not confined to the Postal and West ern Union Telegraph Companies. It's roain means of conveyance was over a lea sed wire from Vancouver, made acces. ssble by telephone from San Francisco.

UNEASY MARKET IS AWAITING REPORT
 GOVERNMENT
Condition Expected Be- tween F and 76 Per Cent of Normal-Announce-
 ment Due Today
By Associated Pres,

New Orleans, Aug. 1.-Almost constan selling pressure was on the cotton mar ket last week. with the result that fairly wide net losses were made, the close be- ing 92 to 199 points under the close of the preceding week. Lowest prices were reached on the close, October sinking to 5o-31c and March to 2s5oc. These prices compared with S. 75c as the closing price Tor middling spots, which lost a hundred points in the net results.
 whatever steadiness the market had and the few upward reactions that occurred were due to covering of the rather ex- tensive short interest Shorts, however, were very confident because of general expectations of a high July condition re- port, the continued good weather over the belt, the increasing movement of new crop cotton in Texas and further reports of general slowing down in trade among the mills The week brought dry weather to the belt generally, which was accepted as meaning best crop results. Toward the end of the week light to moderate showers were reported over a considerable area in Texas, and it was claimed in private messages from that state that the rainfall was beneficial and would insure the success of late planted corn.

CHIEF OF FARMERS
 URGES SELECTION 
 Would Pick Candidates Who Have Agricultural Devel-
 opment at Heart
sy Associated prsm

Washington, Aug. 1,--Farmers were ad- vised to scrutinize carefully the public records of all political candidates and to reject those unfriendly to agriculture in a statement issued here today by Charles S. Barrett, chairman of the national board of farm orga anizations and presi- dent of the National Farmers Union.
 For the first time in the history of agriculture, great political party conyen- tions have given it a distinct and unmis- takable place in their platforms" said MT. Barrett Tt is. one thing for po- liticai Nrty to pledge itself to the per formances # certain well defined tasks: it is quite another thing to show itself to have the ability or capacity to trans late it's promises into statutory law.
 Tt is hoped that the farmers in voting for presidential electors will consider what the candidate is likely to be willing or able to do for agriculture. Permit me also to suggest that the farm question being administrative and legislative, it is most necessary that a Congress be elected that will carry out the wise agri- cultural suggestions of the executive

 President
sy A.o.,,,,d pr.c


 Marion, Ohio, Aug. Hired from a week of hard work, which had kept him at his desk early and late, Senator liar ding spent a Sunday of almost complete relaxation from the cares of the cam paign.
 That the republican nominee will not permit the democrats to evade the League of Nations issue" was reiterated from the Harding headquarters in a statement by Senator Mccormick of Illi- nois, who came to Marion yesterday to confer with Senator Harding. The Ili- nois senator, who is attached to national headquarters, declared the solemn refer endum. which Mir. Wilson has sought, will be carried out.
 The democratic attitude he character ized as amusing" in view of recent ut terances by European statesmen.
 'In an official statement published in London papers now received here,' Sena- tor McCormicks statement said
 The British prime minister says that in order to secure American adhesion to any league, and that it will De revised for the better, Lord Grey proposes thas a new President, in consultation with the Senate. shall be invited to rewrte the entire plan for a concert among the nations. and warns against accepting again as representative of the American people the personal views of party leader
 "It is the plain truth that in France and England responsible public men pit terly deplore the misrepresentation of America by pr. Wilson,"
 The senator's only conference during the day was with Representative William F. Mason of Illinois, who has been one of the leaders in Congress for recosni- tion of the Irish republic. Mr. Mason said he only had come to Marion to pay his respects to the nominee, but he ineil- cated he might have statement to make later about their talk.
 Tomorrow Senator Harding will go to work on the second of his front porch speeches, to be delivered Wednesday. Another win follow Thursday, the dele gations in both cases coming from neigh boring Ohio cities

Washington, August 1.-tSpe- ciaI.)-Anthony T. Griffin, dem- ocrat, one of New YOrk's repre- sentativcs in Congress, has writ ten n letter to Governor Cox urg- ing him not to recommend in his acceptance address, the abolition of excess profit taxation.
 It is Mr. Griffin's point that such taxation contributes little to the excessive cost of living. and that it Is more burdensome to the man svho has than to the man who Aasn't.
 Mir. Griffin wrote;
 "The international bankers and promoters of big business in the United States, who would he the chief benefieiaries of such nboIi- tion. are already in n secret con- spiracy to oppose you. and your recon m ndation would not cause them to abandon their schemes. On the other hand. the ordinary people regard the excess profit taxation .as valuable means of making the very rich contribute to the support of government.''
 Former secretaries Of the treas ury, NcAdoo and Glass, have both recomme nded the abolition of ex- cess profit taxation. and there was n report some days ngo tbat Gov ernor Cox would indorse their rec ommendation Tn his acceptance ad- dress.

San Sebastian, Spain, July 3l.-Repatria- tion of the 2o0,ooo European prisoners Of var held in Russia and the 10000 Rus sians in German military prisons was considered by the council of the League of Nations at it's session here today. A letter from Dr. Fritjof Nansen. recently appointed to arrange for the transfer of these prisoners, was read, Dr. Nansen re- porting the proposed exchange had been blocked by the Russian soviet govern ment
 Plans providing for the transport Of Russians in ships to VladlvostoS were formulated, including Czechs and Iiun- garians, and land them at Trieste, but they were impossible of execution, Dr. Nansen said. because the soviet govern ment had refused to guarantee that Rus sians would be allowed to proceed from Valdivostok to their homes.

PENROSE FEARS ID
 LET HARDING OUT BEFORE POPULACE
Might Get Things Mixed and Injure Party's Pros poets Like Hughes Did
 Back In 1916
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald
 510 Davidson 6utdinu


 Washington, August 1.-tSpecial.)- )-- So certain is Senator Harding that he would not appear as ridiculous as Judge C. E. Hughes appeared before the peo- pie in 1916 that he is said to have made a most earnest appeal to his managers" to permit him to abandon his porch"
 It is understood that promise has been reached whereby the repub- lican candidate, after he has addressed various friendly bodies and organiza tions transported to Marion for the purpose of giving him audience. may make few side trips--to New York, to Boston. or one or more other speci- fled localities.
 While Senator Harding is apparent ly certain that he would be able to hold his own, it is reported that Sena- tor Penrose is determined that he re- main for the greater portion of the campaign season at his home. It is said that the willy Pennsylvanian boss knows that Harding will make no mis take if he is given an opportunity carefully to prepare speeches for cer- tain carefully selected audiences. There is vast difference in such course and one which forces a candidate into unfrendly atmospheres and before au- diences which may or may not be friendly, which may applaud and which may attempt to heckle
 Harry N. Price, staff correspondent of the Washington Post, in very friend ly fashion, and with singular and sig nificant delicacy, treats the porch topic this morning in dispatch from Marion. He says in part;
 Some time before election day in November. Senator Harding, the re- publican nominee. is going to leave the front porch in his campaign for the presidency. But it will not be soon.
 The taunts of democratic politicians and the urgings of certain well wishing republican friends are not going Co alter the senator's plans to stick to his front porch-just yet.
 Tt was never Senator Harding s plan or that of his advisers that he should not make a few excursions into doubtful territory. The senator will make seven or eight set speeches in various large centers, but no definite plans have been laid. and not even tentative programme has been out lined.
