COG IN MACHINE, NOT
WIZARD, SAYS BLAIR
G. O. P. Leader Refutes Cox
Emissary's Charge That He
Is Great Money Getter.'

CHICAGO. Sept 5.-Henry NJ. Blair,
so-called financial wizard Of the
Republican campaign, and assistant
to Treasurer Fred W. Upham, OF the
Republicsh National Committee, de-
MED in a statement today that he IL
the "country's greatest money getter.'
as charged by Edmund III. Moore,
personal emissary of Governor Cox.
Moore declared that Blair was the
greatest professional money sctter
in the country and head of great
syndicate of paid collectors who had
piled up a fund of s16.0Oo,0OO for the
Republican campaign"
Il am now under subpoena to ap-
pear before the Senatorial sub-com-

ROOT PLANS WORLD
TRIBUNAL ABROAD
G. O. P. Leaders Say Jurist Is
Providing Means to Gain In
ternationaI Justice.

The plan for an international court
formulated by former Secretary or
state Elihu Root. provides for
tribunal entirely separate and apart
from the League of Nations, accord-
ign to Republican leaders here today.
Senator Root is understood tt be
sounding out governments in Europe
at This time to see how it will be re-
garded by them. He Is abroad, OF
course. in an entirely unofficial ca
pacity. II Senator Harding is elected
the United States, of course, Will
naturally have nothing to do with
either the League or its court.
"The League OF Nations, particu-
larly Article y OF the covenant. II
was pointed out here today. Stands
branded as political combination
built for the express purpose OF en-
forcing certain conditions which
would be made permanent without
regard to right and justice. The logic
of court of justice operating IN
connection with such an organiza-
tion is difficult TO see.
"The point has been made that the
second Hague conference in 1907 went
on the rocks trying to devise a
scheme 10 select judges for an inter.
national tribunal. Such difficulty
would be nothing as compared with
the problem of reconciling court OF
Justice with a 'might-is-right political
combination such as provided by
Article n"
MIR. Roots plan for an independent
court, II was stated. would remove
most OF the difficulty.

store tranquility. The extremist Gle
ment of the Socialists, allied with
Communists, seized the opportunity
to conduct a powerful propaganda
campaign and the fruits of their ef-
forts seem TO be at hand.
STRIKERS CONTROL INDUSTRIES.
The Italian workers have seized
the great government arsehals at
Venice and Naples.
All of the important metal factor
les in Italy are in the hands or
strikers.
The strikers-and their allies are
well armed and have defeated the
soldiers and police sent against them.
The Italian government. alarmed at
the menace, is taking steps to effect
a compromise with the leaders OF the
extremists and the strikers.
Moderate socialists have been over
whelmed by their radical brothers.
But they are still attempting concili-
atory, measures. .iy
The attitude~of the Italian govern
ment toward Bolshevftt Rusisa is a
strong indication of it's own fears
over the domestic outlook in Italy,
WOULD D'LACATE EXTREMISTS
The Italian governmenT opposed
warlike measures against Russia and
favored the resumption of relations
with Russia. 1t is now evident that
the Italian government is seeking to
placate the strong and growing group
of Bolshevist sympathiZers in Italy.
Bolshevist sympathizers in Italy
have already taken drastic steps.
"Soviets" were formed at some of
the plants in the industrial district
of northern Italy but whether they
continue in force or were oVerthrown
is not known.
Italian newspapers take a serious
view of the situation. They sense
complete overthrow. Whether the
Italian government is strong enough
to cope with the movement VIII not

'SLUSH PROOF
Governor and Moore Get "EW-
deDce" in Shape to Put
Before Probe.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Gov. James
M. Cox and his campaign manager,
f. IL. Moore, today finally prepared
the evidence they will submit to back
their charges of a Republican "slush
fund.- when the Senate Investigating
Committee reconvenes here Tuesday.
cox REACHES CHICAGO.
Cox arrived today from vigorous
campaign In Wisconsin. Moore has
been in Chicago since Thursday, when
the Senate committee adjourned over
Labor Day without opening hearings
OF his testimony.
Republican party officials denial OF
Governor Cox's claims OF fixation OF
State quotas aggregating Slo.OOO.OOO'
will be countered by further quota
tions from the Official Bulletin, Moore
and Cox intimated today These eN-
fractions from the party bulletin VIII
prove. Moore and Cox said, that the
quotas have been exceeded in numer-
Gus instances.
Form l01." alleged TO have been
issued from Republican headquarters
here and to contain instructions for
buying an underhold on the Govern
ment," was looked on today as the
warm spot OF the investigation. re-
publicans planned to call on Moore
to prove that Form lOl" was put in
operation, claiming IL was yejected

Senator Kenyon, chairman, ana
other committee members. are expect
ed to return here late tomorrow.
WHITE TO BE ABSENT.
George White. Democratic national

1t was indicated today. They are eN-
pected to be away from Chicago until
the end OF the week.
More than a dozen witnesses from
various sections OF the country have
been subpoenaed to testify.
Indications are that Governor Cox
will not be summoned for the pres
ent at least.
Most of the witnesses subpoenaed,
supposedly as a result OF information
given the committee by Moore. are
Republicans who are alleged to have
been the money getters" of the party
in various States. Among them is
Henry NJ Blair whom Moore called
"the country's greatest professional
moneygetter." Blair is the financial
director of the Republican national
committee.
