negotiations now going on, in an
effort to unite the various minority
groups here in a third party.
Party leaders expressed the great
est confidence today that details of
amalgamation would be worked out
and ratified by the labor convention
and the Committee of Forty-Eight
convention.
Toscan Bennett, Connecticut, chair
man of the labor ,party's conference
committee, which has been meeting
with a similar committee from the
Forty Fighters, said today that in his
opinion, the platform is not a real
obstacle to unity.
Il believe" said Bennett, that
neither the labor convention nor that
of the Forty Fighters would accept
a platform that provides for any
thing less than national ownership
and democratic control of pubic
utilities.
'"The Forty Fighters, in my opin-
ion, go as far as we do on that"
amalgamation of any other sort OF
platform is attempted, there will be
bolt.
Labors conference committee met
today with farmer groups, TO learn
their position on amalgamation.
The labor party's conference com:
mittee, intimating that it would be
ready to report tonight on amalgama-
ton, asked that night session be
held. The convention adopted mo-
ton to convene at o'clock.
The rest of the day was turned
over by common consent to speech
making bv delegates and visitors. .

OHIO, NEW JERSEY
CALIFORNIA AND
INDIANA FOR COX
Continued from Page -

and the wet vote and the following
which the organizati ion of Tom Tag
CART, candidate for United States
Senator, can mobilize for the ticket
this year, few Democrats entertain
the slightest idea than any Demo-
cratic candidate could carry Illinois.
So with Cox splitting the east and
deriving little succor from the west,
the table above gives a generous
scattering of states east of the MIS-
sissippi to the Ohio governor which,
together with California and Mon
tana and the solid south, would not
be sufficient to elect him but would
put Harding in the White House.
Cox Has Even Chance
But Governor Cox's chances to be
president of the United States are
nevertheless even for change OF
only one or two states in the fore.
going table would put him above zoo
and bring Harding below the majority
line Supposing, for example, the
third party dominates La Toilette or
anybody also pleasing to the Nom
Partisan league-the chances are bet
ter than even that they will split the
Republican vote which is largest IN
the northwest, and then the normal
Democratic vote would probably ex-
ceed either half of the Republican
strength, thus giving Minnesota or
North Dakota or Wisconsin to Cox;
If Cox won Wisconsin, his total
would be 267, and if he won only
Minnesota, he would have 266, either
of which totals would elect him pres
ident
On the other hand, that doesn't, by
any means, end the capacity OF the
third party for turning things upside
down. Should the candidate OF the
consin and North Dakota, which
would mean total of thirty electoral
votes, the result might be to. give
neither Cox nor Harding a majority
and throw the whole thing into the
house of representatives for decision.
PROFESSIONALLY, as things stand To-
day, the contest is a close one ana
the third party movement, while IN
significant in it's effect upon the east
ern or middle western states, mas po-
tentialities for harm to the Republic
can presidential ticket in Wisconsin,
North Dakota and Minnesota.
All the calculations are DaSeq on
the assumption that Cox favors hght
wines and beer for home use only as
proposed by Tammany and the otner
states which dictated the nomination
Of Cox. This is an Assumption WHICH,
in the absence of REPUTATION from
Cox himself, will be further intens1-
fed by party workers eager to corral
the largest wet vote possible. Should
Cox steer clear of the prohlbltlon
question and suddenly take the same
position as Harding on it, there Will
be nothing especial to commend MN
10 the voters of New Jersey or In
diana or Maryland, where the inclina-
ton is RepublicanAall other things
being equal.
Governor Cox's chances of winning
the big eastern states rest entlreiy
unon his views on prohibition which,
despite the omission of any special
plank thereon from either the Repub-
iican or Democratic platforms, is
likely to be more discussed by the
voters than anything in both plat
forms. 1t is the biggest Vote-gett1ng
or-vote-losing issue in the campaign.

GOVERNOR HAS
GRANTEDPAROLE
TO MRS. GODBEE

Governor Dorsey on Friday after
noon announced that he had granted
a parole to Mrs. Edna Perkins Cod
bee, principal in one of the most IA
NOUS murder cases in the southern
states, who was sentenced to life
Imprisonment for the killing of her
former husband, Judge Walter S.
Godbee and his wife, Mrs. Florence
Boyer Godbee.
The case is one that has attracted
much attention through the efforts of
Mrs Sarah Godbee Griner, daughter
Of the convicted woman, to obtain
pardon or a. parole for her mother.
"Sad-eyed Sarah" as she came to be
known, was at her mothers side all
through the trial six years ago and
when Mrs. Godbee was sent to the
state penitentiary she kept up an I'M
ceasing fight to secure her release
through executive clemency.
1t became evident some months
ago that Governor Dorsey was dis
inclined to grant Mrs. Godbee full
pardon and the energies of the de-
tense were then directed toward Sc
curing a parole. Evidence was intro
duced before the state prison COM
mission and before the governor TO
show that Mrs. Goddess health was
broken and that her release from the
penitentiary was imperative 70 pre
vent her death. Attorney A. S. An
derson, of Millen, Ga, and represent
alive from Jenkins county IN the
state legislature, presented the case
before the prison commission ana the
governor. Mr.. Anderson had been one

WAYCROSS, Ga, July 10.--The IA
nous "belled buzzard' of south
Georgia, known to be over 100 years
old. is believed to be dead The buz-
gard has a small sleigh bell tied
around it's neck, which is said to
have been placed there during the
War of 1912. 1t has been seen in
south Georgia counties at intervals
for many years and was easily dis
tinguished from it's companions by
it's size and the bell around it's neck
1t was seen several weeks ago on
the farm Of w. H. Leach, Second
Creek, w. Va, and looked to be very
emaciated and about ready to give
up it's widely known career. The IA
nous buzzard has always been a
follower Of wars carnage and is said
to have been present at every battle
of size north of the equator.
1t has been seen as far south as
Peru, although it's summers were
usually spent in the southern states.
During the Mexican trouble several
years ago it spent two whole years
at the border and witnessed skfr-
mishes with the greasers.
When the bird was last seen 1t
was flying low with a number of
other buzzards accompanying 1T and
it was especially noticed that the
hind the leather strap which sup
free itself. An attempt to release the
not allow a person to come within
several yards of it. 1t is felt that

GRAIN

NEW YORK, July 12.-The cotton market
opened firm at an advance Of 20 to 40 points
on Liverpool buying and continue ton OF
the covering movement which had been
started by disappointing private condition
figures on Saturday. October contracts sold
up to 80 and December to 81 30, making
advances Of about 105 to Ito points from the
low levels of last Friday. There was con-
siderable realizing at these figures while
covering became less active. The first batch
Of buying orders had been supplied and
prices eased off before the end Of the first
hour although there was some nervousness
over the continued showers in the belt and
reports that boil weevil were becoming more
numerous.
Tn mid-morning reaction carried October
contracts off to 1917 and December to
81 go, or back to about the closing prices of
Saturday. There was some foreign trade
buying off winter and early spring months
on this setback, however, while ideas as to
the actual progress of the crop under pre-
vailing weather conditions seemed to be
more or less confused and prices steadied
up later IN the morning. Trading was fairly
active at the start but became comparatively
quiet late in the morning with October con-
tracts rulring around 1922 shortly after
midday, points net higher. A Memphis
report placed the condition of the crop at
1873 on July s, compared with 69.S at he
end Of June.
The midafternoon market was quiet and
fairly steady, with July ruling around $500,
or about % points net higher, while October
held at 33.24c, or 10 points above Saturdays
closing quotations.

NEW ORLEANS, July 12.-The cotton
market has sustained today by private re-
ports of too much rain in some sections of

damage, especially in Texas. The Memphis

45 points. received in a buIlish way.
While the official forecast calls for dry
weather over the greater part of the belt
the barometer was low to the west and north
of the cotton region which caused private
predictions of more rain. Wet weather would
cause instant buying.

The entire cotton belt with hardly "a local
