GOV. COX
 SENDS
 MESSAGE
Says He is for the
 League of Nations and ) Declares That Issue Is
 Almost Too Sacred for Politics Believes the
 Country Is With Him.
By Gov. James M. Cox. Copyright 1920. by the International
 News Service.)

NeWS SerVlce.)
 Dayton. O., Nov. 1-The 1920 cam paign for the presidency is over. The desire of America on the greatest issue ever presented in this country will be expressed tomorrow.
 It is a question so sacred that it should never have been in politics. It [ has come there only as the result of deliberate conspiracy on the part of 7 a mere handful of reactionary sena- i tors who sought thereby to win | presidential election in the confusion of the public mind.
 The election will carry a positive mandate to the successful candidate.
 I am for entrance into the League of ations with the acceptance of such helpful reservations as are necessary : to secure ratification.
 I give you this final message that l am for peace rather than war; that l am for progress rather than reaction that I am for prosperity based upon a readjus tment; am for the principle of the square deal; the principle of the Golden Rule.
 We declare our adherence to the Fundamental progressive principles or social, economic and industrial jus nice, and advance purpose to re- sume the great work of tranSlatinS 4 these principles into effective laws. I facilitate the friends of peace. The new order in the world is assured It has been a great fight. and it will be a. great victory not for the Demo- cratic party, but for humanity. The jury has the evidence and it calmly but happily awaits the hour to rem der the verdict.
 am for the League of Nations with all my heart and all my soul, an al am absolutely assured that the decision of America will be aftirma- tive.
 Senator Harding has frankly said and he has adhered to the position that he is against the League of Ma tion; that he is not concerned about clarification or reservations, but that he is concerned only with rejection. Therefore, the election of Senator Harding would be a positive demand iof the American people for reJec- tion.
 want every nation in the world in the League of Nations. l believe it will in the next IS months.
 Civilization will have been saved and the genius of our fathers who placed their questions in the last an alysis in the hands of our great cleo itorate will have been vindicated.
 I have no quarrel with the Repub- 1ican party. My fight is against the senatorialoligarchy. It is my conten- only deserves the condemnation of the American people for what it has done to the civilization of the world, but 1 it deserves as well the repudiation of the rank and file of the Republican partyfor it's utter disregard of the ex- press mandate at the primaries
 What assurances did you give the their boys sailed for the bloody bat 11effelds of Europe? Did you tell them we were going over to conquer

CANADIAN
 SCHOONER
 IS IN LEAD

Halifax, N. S., Nov. 1-Esperanto, queen of the Gloucester fishing fleet, was trailing the Canadian Delawana today by approximately five minutes when the two-stickers had sailed more than a quarter of their second 40 miles race.
 The American schooner started out over the same course she had raced to victory on Saturday with her Yan- kee crew determined to cl1nch the fishermens sailing time by making 1t the best two out of three.
 She gained a half length at the start by the clever handling of her skipper but on the first of the five legs dropped behind length by length. tagging four minutes behind her rival at the first turn and above five min utes at the second.
 A breeze averaging twelve knots enabled the craft to finish their first contest in about six hours but the breeze was lighter today and when the start was made indicated that the nine hour time limit might come into play before the day was over.

 IS IDENTIFIED

The body of the unidentified boy which had been held at the city morgue since Saturday night, when the youngster was killed by an auto mobile driven by Dr. Joseph Mitch ell of White Plains. N. r., at the cor ner of Fairfield averue and State street, was this morning identified hy Mrs. Mary Koschiba of 2107 State street extension, as that of her 12 year old son Michael, who had been missing from his home since Satur- day noon. The parents had been frantic with anxiety ever since Sat urday but never concluded that the victim of the accident might be their son until Mrs. Koscniba went to the morning, and when she described the boy the description fitted exactly with that of the boy. She was di- rected to the morgue where she made positive Identification that it was her boy.
 pr. Mitchell. who was being held in connection with the death of the boy on a technical charge of reckless driving, was arraigned in the City Court this morning when the charge was changed to manslaughter. The case was continued until November 6 pending the coroner's investigation. Mitchell is being held under bonds of $1,500.
 Eight passengers who were in Dr. MitchelPs machine, and two local | men who witnessed the accident, tes- tified at the investigation held this
 morning by Coroner John J. Phelan. According to the stories told by
 these witnesses. it appears that Dr. l Mitchell was driving his car at the approximate rate of 1 5 miles an hour l at the time of the accident. As the | young man stepped from the curb. | Dr. Mitchell sounded his horn and
 swerved his machine sharply to the l left. So close was the distance how
 ever, that he had had no chance to
 avoid hitting the boy. The youngster
 is said to have stepped backwards | off the curb, apparently unaware of
 the presence of the automobile.
 Among the passengers in the
 White Plains dentist car were Miss
 Jean Burgess, of Pittsburgh, Pa; George Woodward, Harry Cavanaugh | and Miss Benardine Gleason, ot
 Hartsdale, N. Y.; and Miss Coralyr
 Brush, of Burke Foundation. a White Plains hospital. Miss Burgess was Mitchell at the time of the acci-
 dent. The local witnesses were Harry Doland, of 2S0 Pequonnock street, 2 | starter for the Connecticut company and Julius Starsky of 21 Ash street.
 All witnesses seemed to agree, tha1 the Mitchell car was not exceeding Is miles an. hour when the accident | occurred, and sthat the boy stepped directly in the path of the machine They also testified that Dr. MitchelFs l party called warning to young Koschiba, just before he was strucl by the machine.

1OCent Travel heTrolleys
 Is Very Light

Travel on the troIleys today, the first of the 10 cent fare, was very light and the jitneys seemed to get the most of the traffic that formerly went by trolley.
 The fine day in conjunction with the increased fare on the cars seemed also to increase the number who walked and many of the employees of the factories and stores hame formed walking clubs.
 The ten cent fare hits those who ride short distances the hardest as even when a passenger rides only three or four blocks he is obliged to pay ten cents.
 In some of the suburban lines the new fare is 8 benefit but on none of the rides does the new scale meet the fare charged by the jitneyS and they are reaping the benefit.
