Must Be Respected as Part of
Constitution.

Statements from the nominees for
President of both leading parties on
their attitude toward the enforcement
OF the Federal prohibition amendment
received by Daniel A. Polling, president
of the National Temperance Council,
were made public by him last night. In
part they are:
Senator Harding: This is a repre-
sentative republic Government, ruled
by the majority as expressed at the polls
or in the laws formulated by elected
representatives, and 1t is not within the
rights of any officer of that Govern
ment to lightly set aside the will of the
people as so expressed, but l may say
that L am opposed to the reestablish-
ment of the traffic in intoxicating liquors
and will use whatever influence or power
/ possess to prevent such reestablish-
ment."
Gov. Cox: IT recognizes the Eigh-
teenth Amendment as a definite part Of
the Constitution, and the laws enacted
hereunder Will be observed and en-
forced"

you to recognize the rights OF every

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-West Virginia.
with a population of 1.463,6lo, an in
crease of 2,4s1, or 1913 Der cent. over
1910, has passed Maryland in the rela-
tive standing Of the States. West Vir-
ginia stood twenty-eighth in 1910 and
Maryland twenty-seventh.
The Census Bureaus announcement of
West virginia's population to-day shows
that during the last decade the State
made it's second largest numerical in
crease. It's previous record growth be-
ing made in the decade 1900-1910 when
it gained 262,319, but its relative in
crease was the lowest on record. This
was the sixth census of West Virginia,
which appeared separately in the Fed
eral census reports for the first time in
1870, having been separated from Vir-
ginia in 1862.

barge Canal Is Menaced.

Judge Miller rode into Batavia
through an imposing line of honking
automobiles. His address here was the
Rotary Club of Tonawanda and North
Tonawanda at the former place at noon.
His topic there was the menace TO the
barge canal by the Federal project of an
ocean route from the Great Lakes
through the ST. Lawrence River.
His third address of the day was at
Leroy where n great demonstration was
staged Despite inclement weather there
were many people in Leroy from neigh
boring towns 70 hear him tonight. There
was a parade headed by Company A Of
the Boys in Blue of Rochester. one of the
best known Republican marching clubs
in the State. They came by special train
$50 strong and arrayed in new uniforms
for the 1920 fight. They brought with
them the Fifty-fourth Regiment Band,
one Of the crack organizations of west
ern New York.
Judge Miller anG Secretary Hugo dis
cussed the national and State issues be-
fore cheering crowd at Leroy. There
is plenty of enthusiasm In Genesee
county and one can hear nothing but
that Judge Miller and the State and ma
tional Republican tickets will pile up a
big majority here.
Judge Miller has n strenuous day
ahead OF him tomorrow. He will make
fives speeches In the following towns:
Canandaigua. Waterloo, Seneca Falls
and Geneva

without united party behind him. AS
regards the League 0f Nations proposal
the Republican party is divided in senti-
ment roughly, into three groups. At one
end of the street are Senator'S Johnson
(Cal) and Borah (1daho) and their fol-
lowing Of irreconcilables. At the other
end are ex-President Taft and Mr.. Wick
ersham and their following of pro-
leaguers and milo reservattonists, and IN
the middle are the strong reservationists.
Recognizing this situation, Senator
Harding knows. too. that the heart OF a
political campaign is a poor time 10 take
sides with any group to the needless Of
fence of the others. He knows, too, that
interna tlonal events of the first importance
are in motion and are still changing the
nature of the world. He believes earnest
ly that the question of the nature of the
world association into which the United
States must enter for the good of hui
mainly ought not TO be settled until the
campaign is done with and until more
time has been had to study Europe and
the rest of the world generally
Then 1t is his purpose, IL elected Presi-
dent of the United States, to call into
council every element of the Republican
party and thresh out the whole question,
feeling sure that with aid of the best
minds of all followings plan of assoc
citation can be devised that viii have the
backing of all the people.
His Position Clear.
Time and time again Senator Harding
has made it clear that he earnestly ia
vors an agreement of nations pledged
against war, and that he would use the
great authority of the President of the
United States to make America a. part of
the agreement. but he has made it equal
ly plain that he is immovably opposed
to entering the proposed league so long
as Article x. and other eXtra-constitu-
tonal articles are held to bind the United
States. That was actually his answer In
Baltimore OF, Monday night to Mr.. Ryan,
whom he treated with courtesy, and
whose subsequent arrest was a surprise
and disappointment to him.
Senator Harding has been informed
that Mr.. Ryan was arrested because the
police feared that overzealous partisans
in the audience might do him injury and
arrested him to protect him. He does
not know whether this is true or not.

BATAVIA, N. Y. Oct Former Judge
Nathan l.. Miller Republican nominee
for Governor is pleased tonight over
the fact that he has smoked out Gov.
smith and compelled him, despite the
Governors announced determination not
to allude to national issues in his cam
paign, to state where he stands on what
the Republican nominee for the Gov
ernorship has delineated ms the para
mount questions in the State as well as
the nation. Gov. Smiths reply to Judge
Miller's queries was to the effect that
he still is willing to stand by the Demo-
cratic national platform, Wilson league
covenant and all, which he helped draIt
at San Francisco. and to ride along with
the national ticket wherever that may
land.
Judge Miper expressed his satisfac-
ton at Gov. Smiths reply at an open
meeting of the Genesee County Repub-
lican Committee here this afternoon.
II challenged Gov. Smith to state
whether he still stands on the Demo-
cratic national platform. which ne
helped to draft at San francesca saio
Judge Miller. Il am pleased to note
that he replies that he will stand by that
platform. That presents very sharp
and we'll defined issue
Judge Miller outlined that issue as
follows

people to assume q moral obligation

Judge Miller outlined also the waste
and extravaganza OF the WASHINGTON
Administration, which asked Congress
to appropriate a billion dollars month
for them to spend after the war stopped
and the vast expenditures which still are
in progress, a procedure which, he SAID,
Gov. Smith must accept along with all
other acts of his party's national po.icy.
The only way to end that extravaganza

Judge Miller said, is to clean house at
the ballot box.

upon the committee the necessity OF

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE suffrage pick
cts today refused to declare an armistice
with the republican party, despite the
suffrage plank in the platform adopted
by the national convention late last
night.
Alice Paul, field marshal of the suffrage
hosts in the convention city, said that
orders have gone out through the nation
to all women sufrragists to vote against
the republican party as long IS it blocks
suffrage"
Miss Paul looks with some suspicion
upon the plank in the republican plat
form, which urges republican governors
to call special sessions Of their legisla-
lures to ratify the amendment.
"Planks in the republican platform are
all very WE'LL" Miss Paul said. THE one
reported is undoubtedly a great advance
over the suffrage plank of the 1915 plat
form, but we are not concerned with
planks in a platform, or with resolutions
or promises We are picketing and will
picket to force the republican party to
give as the thirty sixth state. Until we
get the desired thirty sixth state we will
oppose the republican party
Miss Paul declares that the efforts of
the pickets will be successful and to-
gether with her cohorts she is hopeful
that after the convention "dickering" has
been completed that the republican lead
ers will be able to spare sufficient time
to bring pressure to bear upon officials

hall. where he had been sitting at tEe
head of the Pennsylvania delegation, soon
after the nominating speeches were be-
gun.
He returned to his headquarters at the
Blackstone hotel and will remain there
while the oratorical fireworks are explod-
ing and the baloting is on in conven-
tion hall
1--WE will stick TO Sproul to the finish"
was the slogan of seventy-six Pennsyl-
vania delegates.
Sprouts place on the convention floor
was taken by William X. Struthers Eli
lis of Radnor, one of the twelve Pennsy1-
vania alternates at large.
II was made known that Senator Cal
der of New York was handling a trading
agreement between the Pennsylvania dele
gates and some thirty or more of the
eighty eight New York delegates.
II was said Calder was pledged 10
swing all the New York support he
could TO Sproul in case the Pennsyl.
vanians seemed to have q real chance Of
grabbing the nomination.
There was a renewal Of Knox talk

Miss Paul declares that at least 80
per cent Of the women who have picket
ed the convention here have been re-
pubucans and that when this fact be-
comes impressed upon the party leaders
there viii be action.
Mrs. Walter C. Jackson. of Tennessee,
who is entitled to an alternate's seat on
the convention floor, has foregone that
privilege In order to carry a purple and
gold banner outside the coliseum.
THE eyes of republican women are
now on the republican party to see If
they will continue their good record. I
am picketing my own party, therefore,

"At this critical time I had q difficult
struggle between my loyalty to my party
and my loyalty to woman suffrage Mrs.
