Farmers Insurance
 is Being Planned

Washington, March 13.--The de- partment of agriculture, in co-operat- ing with mutual insurance companies, has prepared suggestions for a. state law providing for the organization of farmers mutual fire insurance com panies to meet the needs of states in which the laws make no suitable provisions for such companies.
 The value of these companies, the department of agriculture says. is demonstrated by the record of ap- proximately 200O such organizations in the United States. that carry a total insurance exceeding $6.000,000,- 900 on property valued at more than $7.5OO, 900, ,O0O, or more than two fifths of the value of al linsurable farm property in the 4S states.
 The suggested law is designed to make it easy for 20 or more uuali- fled individuals to organize a farm CTS mutual insurance company. At the same time provisions are includ- ed to guard the financial integritv of such companies The average cost for this form of protection for the country as a whole is only 26 cents per $100.

McAdoo Plans Oct. Tour

United States Senator Thomas P
core, of Oklahoma, defeated for re-
nomination in the late primaries on

sentative Scott Ferris, yesterday called
on Chairman George White and others

he spoke in complimentary vein of
Governor Cox and told the chairman
that he would deliver q number of
campaign addresses in the Middle West.
When seen last night at the Biltmore
Senator. Gore said that he had not
changed his convictions with reference
TO the character of the league, or as to
the lack of wisdom on the part of the San
francisco convention IN making the
Wilson league the leading issue Of the
campaign.
II believe now as | always have be-
ieved,' said he, that when the San
Francisco convention drafted the
League of Nations as it's leading issue,
1T drafted disaster. believe that the
covenant of the League Of Nations as
grated at Versailles and urged by the
President, is a lien on the life Of every
young man in America. went to my
political grave on that very issue. l
might have been renominated if | had
yielded on that issue, but l refused to
yield, even to bring about my own re-
nomination.
IF could have appealed to the
entire electorate of the State Of Okla :
homa on the issue, opposing it as I
did. | would have won two to one on
that appeal. My appeal, however, was
to the organization Democrats, and
their loyalty to the Federal Admin
stration impelled them to turn against
me in the primaries.
William G. McAdoo, former Secre-
'tary, of the Treasury, called at the
headquarters yesterday. He had a con-
ference with Chairman White, Senator
Pat Harrison, chairman of the speak
ers' bureau, and Daniel c. Roper, who
was chairman of the committee of or
ganization during the 1916 campaign.
Mr.. McAdoo discussed at length the
details of his Western speech making
tour which will begin next month,
winding up in California a short time
before the election.
The National Democratic Club

Socialist Predicts Era
OF Labor Peace i'm Italy

ROME, Sept. 21.-Signor Crespi, a
representative of the employers,
speaking to-day concerning the settle
ment of the metal workers strike
said:
The employers at first made all the
concessions to the men which were
considered compatible with the exist
ence Of the industries in our country
where we are obliged to face such
grave difficulties owing to lack Of raw
materials. Afterward we were OBJ
llged to yield to the will of the gov
eminent in order completely to satisfy
the claims of the workmen.
Now that the plan for participation
by the men in our industries has been
accepted, 1t remains to be seen whether
the new system, which theoretically
would bring capital and labor closer
together and Increase production, will
work out in practice. If the system
proves a success the industries will
prosper. Otherwise they will be ire
trlevably crippled"
participation in the manaeemen.
OF manufactures was one of the great
est aspirations held BY the masses and
one which nothing could repress,"
said Slgnor Daracona, the Socialist
deputy. IF the new rrinciples are
Loyalty and broadly applied, the imme-
dlate result VIII be an increase in pro-
ductlon and a decrease in the mum Der
of strikes as. once capital and labor
meet on the same level the differences
between them will diminish. rendering
such weapons as lockouts and strikes
unnecessary"

Colby Will Not Recall
Suffrage Proclamation
Refuses Request of Tennessee
Aniis and Moves to Dismiss
Injunction Suit

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Secretary
Colby has refused TO grant the request
of ti-suffragists from Tennessee that
ne rescind his action in procaiming
ratification Of the Federal sutf rage
amendment on the favorable action by
the Tennessee Legislature.
After the Secretary announced his
decision to a delegation late yester-
day he was requested to at least pub
lish all of the documents regarding
action by the Tennessee Legislature as
received by him from the Governor
and other state officials. These docu-
ments, it was said, showed that the
Legislature first ratified the amend
ment and that the lower house then
rescinded its action
Secretary Colby said to-day that the
delegation had brought up the question
of political exigency in connection with
their request that Tennessee be stricken
from the list of states which have rati-
fed the amendment. They suggested
that the Secretary issue new proc
lamation on the basis of ratification
by Connecticut, but the Secretary told
them that was not possible.
Laskey Secretary Colby to-day filed in
ton to dismiss the appeal taken by
Charles S. Fairchld, for the American
CONSTITUTIONAL League. from the de-
cision of District Justice Bailey re-
fusine an injunction to prevent the
proclamation of the suffrage amend
ment.
MI Colby said the object of the pro-
ceedings was to prevent that which
already had become a fact.

Tx. Head of Propaganda
Bureau, After Dinner at
White House, Announces
Western Campaign Tour
President to Write Letters
May Also Issue Few For

the Election of Gov. Cox

From The Trtbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-George
Creel, former head of the governments
propaganda bureau--the Committee on
Public Information-and long a per
sonal friend and adviser of President
Wilson, is to be one Of the President s
chief spokesmen in the campaign
After an hours visit with the Pres
ident to-day Creel announced to
friends that he is going into the cam
paign up to his ears from now on and
will invade the West on stumping
tour. Later Mr.. Creel returned to the
White House and was a dinner guest
of the President and his family.
Except to say that he is going West,
Creel gave no definite information
about his campaign plans. He did not
even disclose whether he will travel
under the jurisdiction of Senator Pat
Harrison, chairman Of the National
Committees speakers bureau.
Invited by President
The visit Of Mr.. Creel here was at
the Invitation of Mr.. Wilson. The
President regards the former govern
ment press agent verv highly. In 1916
Creel helped effectively in the "he
kept US out of war; campaign, and
as soon as the United States became
involved in the war was called here to
take charge of propaganda work for
the government. When he went to Eu-
rope on his peace treaty mission the
President took Creel as one Of his ad-
visers. Democrats and Republicans
allke pounced upon Creel many times
during the war, but Mr.. Wilson stood
o,y him and seemed to prize his advice
the more because of the criticisms to
winch Creel was subjected.
The President was greatly impressed
With the propaganda work done by
Creel during the war He is most
ANXIOUS that the League of Nations
the Wilson League of Nations-shall
survive the great and solemn referen-
dunn In November. Creel, it is under
stood, has been asked by the Presi-
dent to get in and help win the fight.
Creel declared definitely that he is
not gong to write magazine articles
about the President or write in behalf
OF the Democratic campaign. He is
gong on the stump and believes his
style of oratory will do much toward
swinging the West back into the Viii
son League of Nations camp.

tions made by Governor Cox, Demo
cratic candidate for President, in
speaking to California voters yesterday
were challenged in statement issued
tonight by the Republican National
Committee.
I'VE desire to call attention." the
Republican committees statement said,
ito obvious misstatements Of Governor
Cox in Southern California speeches on
Monday, reported in press dispatches
as follows:
"Tf Newberry had not sat in the
Senate we would have had the League
of Nations. If he had not been put on
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee by Henry Cabot Lodge the Senate
would have ratified the league with
helpful and not emasculating reserva-
tons
"Senator Newberry is not on the
Foreign Relations Committee and never
has been.
Governor Cox is reported as saying
that he had advocated q tariff on
lemons when he was member Of Con-
gress in 1909. Examination of The Con-
gresssional Record during two terms
Governor Cox served fails to reveal
that he ever uttered a word about tariff
