Cox Opponents
Are Accused of
Unfair Methods
Former Governor Campbell
DenOunces Democrats for
Spreading the Story of
Ten Year Old Divorce
Republicans Ignored 1t
Record Does Not Reflect on
the Moral Character of
Either Party, He Asserts
From a STAFF Correspondent


SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Former
Governor James E. Campbell of Ohio
leader of the Buckeye delegation, to-
day vigorously attacked Ohio Demo-
Gratis who, he asserts, are circulating
the story of Governor Cox's divorce ten
years ago to injure him as a candidate
before the convention
Governor Campbell's statement to
The Tribune can be accepted as au-
thoritative. Said he:
"Since arriving here the Obi, dele
gates have been met, both in the pub
lie press and in conversation with dele
gates from other states, with the story
of Governor Cox's divorce and the sug-
gestion that that incident, which no one
in Ohio any longer considers of ma
terlal interest, initiates against him as
a possible Presidential nominee. Not
even the Republicans Of Ohio, who GER
talnly cannot be accused of overlooking
anything legitimate in the way of ar
gument to injure Governor Cox, have
had the hardihood or meanness to saw
anything uncomplimentary about Gov
ernor Cox.
Scandal Charged to Democrats
"On account of the separation ten
years ago from his wife it remained
Tor the damned gutter -snipe poll
tlclans IN our own party to take
this thing up and give 1t currency in
order to hurt Governor Cox. Governor
Cox has been elected Governor three
times and has been candidate four
times for Governor, and not once did
the Republicans say anything in the
campaign about his unhappy experience
with his first wife. The spreading of
the story is chargeable to disappointed
Democrats who hope that scurrility will
suffice where truth fails to harm.
1T was ten years ago when the first
Mrs. Cox obtained a divorce from Mr..
Cox on the, ground of gross neglect
There is a clause in the Ohio law which
ofttimes is stretched to cover cases
where there are no more serious de-
faults Governor Cox did not defend
the action
"Mrs. Cox married her attorney in
that action within a few months. The
Governor did not marry again until
five years afterward. The two older
children went with the father, while
the baby stayed with the mother. This
was by mutual agreement. Since the
youngest boy has become nearly grown
up he visits his father, and the other
children also visit him.
"There was nothing in the record re-
fecting on the moral character of
either Governor Cox or his wife. 1t
was a case of irremediable incompati-
bility. Since the Governor has become
prominent as an aspirant for the Demo
cratic nomination for President the
story has been circulated, generally in
whispers, that the divorce was obtained
on the ground Of cruelty. That is an
unmitigated lie. There is nothing in

Women will Drop Society
To Practice Practical Politics
Feminine Workers to Profit by Male Example and
Labor Early and Late; Breakfast Conferences
First Innovation To Be Tried on DELEGATES

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-More
practical politics is the determination
of the three hundred or more women
who tomorrow will enter actively into
the work of the Democratic National
Convention.
From every camp to-day-suffragist
antisuffragists, party women and all
came the declaration that in the past
women possibly have catered too much
to the social side Of conventions. If
they are to impress men as construc-
tive political workers, it was declared,
they must work as men do-day and
night if necessary. Hence the work
and the social engagement books are
almost as blank as the wine lists.
AS an acid test of willingness to per-
form convention work, women leaders
have arranged to hold a breakfast con-
ference for 1875 men and women leaders
every morning, beginning tomorrow
These breakfasts will be served from s
until 10 o'clock, and virtually all Of
the leaders here have agreed to attend
them and speak, regardless of previous
all-night conferences or other fatiguing
labors. One man and one woman will
speak at each breakfast. Dinners are
also being arranged. In spirit of
democracy it has been arranged that
each guest shall be permitted to pay
for his or her meal.
Suffragist Flavor Eliminated
These conferences will be party
affairs, neither suffragist nor anti-suff
ragist delegations having anything to
do with them.
The spirit Of conservative effort also
possesses the militant sutfragists head
ed by Mrs. Abby Scott Baker, of Wash
ington. Unless Mrs. Baker changes her
plans tomorrow when her assistants,
Mrs. Lawrence Lewis and Miss Betty
Graham, arrive, the convention will see
nothing of the familiar purple and gold
banners that have been exhibited wher-
ever suffragists gathered.

SO to Fl for Beer

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-
The Illinois delegation at the
Democratic Convention to-day re-
jected a resolution favoring no
reference whatever to prohibition
in the party's platform and ac-
cepted, SO to 21, an affirmative
declaration for modification of
the Volstead act to permit use of

The fight for the "no wet is

was the principal hope Of the vets
that he favors the enforcement of the
Volstead act as long as the prohibition
law is on the statute books, was a blow
to the hopes of the vets, who have
been issuing confident predictions al
most hourly during the last week that
the convention would adopt a plank
that would be clear avowal for light
wines and beers.
The vets came down to urging a
moist plank that would carry an in
dorsement of the prohibition amend
ment when William Jennings Bryan ar
rived in San Francisco Friday night
Bryan to-day declared that it is his
intention to introduce bone e-dry
plank, but his friends explained that
Mr.. Bryan intends to do so only if the
vets insist upon Offering their plank.
Compromise on All Issues
The wet and dry fight, which has
been looming large on the horizon of
the convention, will be settled in the
port a plank declaring for enforce
ment of the existing dry law, accord
ing to conservative leaders on both
sides. Sentiment among the delegates
after the show Of strength made by
the Administration in the contests yes
terday is to compromise on all the i'm
portant issues that must be covered in
the Democratic platform. The refusal
of both the wet and dry leaders to re-
new their threats Of carrying the fight
over that issue to the floor of the CON
vention was regarded to-day as strong
indication of the Cesire of all sides to
compromise the important questions.
James r. Nugent, of Newark, who
reached town yesterday, was the only
wet leader who would make any dec
laration to-day that he would carry the
hight into the convention itself unless a
wet plank were adopted, but Mr.. Nu-
gent will have conference with Gov
ernor Smith of New York and other
wet leaders before the Resolutions
Committee gets down to work and he
probably will agree to support their
plans.
The Irish question has become very
acute in the pre- convention maneuver-
ing and threatens 70 leave some sore
spots similar to those left by the ac-
tlon Of the National Committee in the
contests, regardless of what action is
taken.
Walsh Attacks Proposed Plank
Senator David !. Walsh, of Massa-
chusetts, and former Governor Edward
F. Dunno, of Illinois, who are spokes
men for the Friends of Irish Freedom
at the convention, to-day attacked the
League of Natons-Irish freedom plank
Former Governor Dunno declared that
such plank, if carried out, would pre-
sent lreland's case to "a packed jury
Senator Walsh said that the suggestion
was more sop"
"To attempt to force through such
thing will start the grandest row
you ever saw" Senator Walsh con-
tinued "The friends of Ireland will
take nothing at all from the Demo
cratic party if that is all they can GET
The Resolutions Committee will be
named tomorrow night or Tuesday
morning and will get to work framing
the platform Immediately after it is
organized. The present outlook is
that the committee will not be able tc
complete its work and report to the
convention in less than two days time

FRISCO SESSION
AID
Politicians Will Give Him Good
Chance to Be Nominee.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 15.-Pacihc
coast politicians believe bringing the
democratic national convention to San
Francisco increases the chances Of Her
bert Hoover being the democratic nomi-
nee for president.
Bryan and Hoover are likely to be the
biggest figures of the convention. J. D.
Davis. collector of the port, is closer to
Bryan than any other man in the state.
He says;
"Bryan's chief effort at the convention
will be- to prevent a standpatter from
getting the nomination; he will favor a
progressive"
Unless Bryan himself hobs up as a
candidate, this is taken to indicate a
leaning to Hoover. Hoover will run
under pressure, hut he will not take the
nomination unless it is forced on him.

gressives all lined up behind him now,

Barnes suggested Hoover as the repub,
lican nominee, but declared that he might

Herbert Hoover is instinctiyely a lib

"His political affiliations have been with

tisanship extends only to the insistence

These questions we're thrashed out to-
day at a conference OF the National
Association of Retail Clothlers at the
Hotel Sherman.
Sidney Hillman of New York. presi-
dent OF the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America, said that over
production is the cause.
.R. Figg, special assistant to the
attorney general, said underproduction
was the trouble.
Fred Vloland, president OF the Kansas
Association of Retail Clothiers. said that
prices do not go up or down, but are
put up or down"
John G. Schaefer, a Chicago clothing
salesman, said that a 100 per cent Amer
icanism would be the only solution to
the situation.
Greater production and more conserva-
tive buying on the part of the public
was the solution offered by a representa-

was essential for the old guard to be
faithfully represented, leads this board.
He is the same Fortune who is connected
with the war chest and the indianapolis
Telephone Company.
Fred C. Gardner, Caleb S. Denny,
Elmer W. Stout, Irving Lemaux form
the rest of the local representatives on
the committee. Lemaux and Gardner
represent Mayor Jewett's concern in the
candidacy of Fesler. Caleb Denny proved
such an asset to the party as the titular
head of the worn old GOOD Citizens
league" that he was included on the
theory that he might be busted off and
trotted forth again in a similar capacity.
Elmer Stout Is connected with the city s
largest financial interests and his pres
ence on the beard lends 1t considerable
weight among business men.
AS an indication that the managers
of the Fesler boom have not forgotten
there is another part of Indiana that
does not lie wholly north of Washing
