DOUBTFUL STATES NOW IN COX COLUMN l. STATES SHROPSHIRE. !.
Ninth Inning Rally With Cox 0utpitching Harding, Says Civitan President-Voters
 Should Read Covenant

i "Three doubtful states that looked for a time like they were going republican are now flying under democratic colors, They are New York, Maryland and West Virginia, and 1 feel safe in saying that before the week is ended that two other big eastern states will come over to the democratic side"
 This is the statement or pr. Court ney w. Shropshire. president of the ln> ternational Association of Civitan Clubs, who says that it will be no sur> prise to him if Governor Cox carries every state that Is now being claimed as doubtful
 Tt is going to be a regular ninth inning rally" says Dr. Shropshire, and the whole cause of It IS the League of Nations issue. Republican campaign managers are not worried now; Il ey were at the start, but now they ere scared to death.
 "It has been a pitching duel all
 along. and the whole fact of it is
 Governor Harding has outpitched
 Harding, while Taft, Root and the
 rest of his team mates have struck
 out every time they got up to bat.
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 Every voter should get copy of the covenant of the League of Nations and study it. Regardless of whether they are democrats or republicans, if they will be fair and square and five their honest opinion. they will say tha, though they are going to vote for Sen ator Harding, they believe in the League of Nations and hope that en- ator Harding, if he is by chance elect ed to the office, that he will try and get the Senate to agree upon the United States becoming a member of the league.
 But no such luck, if Senator !Iard- ing is elected the League of Nations is doomed. While l know that Senator Harding is now promising people in order to secure their votes that he fa- vors the league with a few reserva- tions l know better and believe what he said when he first started out on ais campaign tour, that he was against th> League of Nations in any manner, shape or form. and that he would scrap it if he was elected to the office of President of the United States
 ''There are very few doubtful states now. Republican campaign managers are claiming them as doubtful, because they are afraid to claim them as re- publican, because they know they would be the laughing stock of he country after the election,
 MONEY SPENT
 More money has been spent by tho republican party during the past three months than prior to any election that 1 have ever seen.
 Wall street is making a mighty eff fort to a gain regain the control of money and big" business affairs of this. country. The federal reserve sS & tenn of banks over the country and many other progressive things of a like nature that the democratic party has done while they have been in #, flee has given Wall street the worst body blow that they have received in years.
 Now they are out for revenge Hence, the nomination of Senator Harding for President of the United States. He stands for everything II a, will help to fatten the pockets of ,he owners of Wall street. He stands for the slashing of the salaries of the la boring man. But, above everyth ng else he is against the League of Ma tions in any manner. shape or form, and when he takes his stand with big business and declares he is agai 1st the league. he is against every real American in the country and agayst two thirds of the people who will vote at the coming election"
