AWAIT WORD OF

State Department Officials Hopeful
Of Armistice Before War.
saw Is Captured.

Washington, Aug. 16.-(United
Press) With the red armies re-
ported almost at the gates Of War
saw, state department officials and
diplomats here today waited hope
fully for word from the armistice
and peace delegations at Minsk
which would stop the fighting be-
tween Poland and soviet Russia
Officials hoped that an agreement
at Minsk on armistice and peace
terms would save Warsaw from the
bolshevik armies. While there was
skepticism here as to the perma-
nency of any peace with soviet Rus
sia, it was believed Poland may
have a chance of surviving as ma
ton only il the Poles retain their
capital. In possession OF Warsaw,
the bolsheviki would Immediately
sovietize Poland and make that
country a passageway to Germany.
military men believed.
State department ofnclais and
military observers here had not lost
hope OF the Polish forces stiffening
and successfully repulsing the red
armies. The Poles are now appar-
emily falling back to their last line
of marked defense by the circle
running through Novogeorgievsk,
Cegtow and Ivangorod.
Prince Lubomirski, Polish min
lister here, expected an answer from
President Wilson early this week to
his appeal for food and other sup
plies.
The note from Premier Millerand
of France, expressing approval Of
the American stand on the Russo
Polish crisis, as stated in Secretary
of State Colby's recent note to the
Italian ambassador, has been re-
ceived and probably will be made
public today.

Flays G. o. p. Attitude

Fargo. N. D., Aug. 16.-Making

Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic
candidate for vice president this
morning declared that the Demo-
cratic party, II elected, pledges it.
self to seek q solution of the prob
lens that will serve the best in

great consuming public.
Il am particularly glad to read
the the porch campaign of the Re-
publicans is breaking down." Mr..
Roosevelt said.
THE theory of the Democratic
campaign is, Of course, just the
contrary. Our candidates are try
ing not merely to carry the cam
paign to the country, but to find out
what the country is thinking. &
Attacks G. 0. P. Attitude.
"This difference in attitude of
mind extends to the way in which
the leaders of the two parties han
die all public questions. The Dem
ocratic theory is that big national
problems ought to be settled from
a national point of view, and ought
not to be undertaken by a mere
gathering in Washington of half a
dozen old line leaders who do not
know the country.
For instance, you people out
here have long been concerned with
the problems of food production
and marketing.
you appreciate, 1 hope. the dan
ger of the control of this question
by men who are friends of the pack
ers, by friends Of big bankers. and
by friends of the eastern middle
men. A solution by them will bring
you back to conditions of 10 or Is
years ago.
Too Much Difference.
There is no question that the
farmer does not get today what he
ought to get, and there is no ques-
tion also, but that the consumer
pays too much. Somewhere in be.
tween the two are steps which must
be eliminated-our transportation
problems-and warehouse prob
lens.

FINAL VOTE ON

Pros" and '.Antis" Both
Confident Of Victory
in House.

Nashville. Aug. H. United
Press) .-As the time nsarsd for the
inA vote on suffrage in the house
Of representatives. workers redou-
bled their efforts 70, sway those Who
remained non-committal, on whose
action it was conceded the result
hinges.
Pro-suffragists and anti-sufYra-
gists alike believe they have
enough votes assured. Both fac
tons obviously were worried.
The house was expected to act
Tuesday. although the issue may
be forced late today. The commit
tee on constitutional amendment to
which the resolution OF ratification
was referred will meet tonight.
Senator John G. Houck OF Nash
vile announced he will demand an
investigation of powerful influences
he asserted were operating to bring
about defeat of suffrage.
Plot Charged.
Houck is chairman of the Re
publican state campaign committee.
A conference Of members of the
legislature, both Democrats and
Republicans and OF the leaders Of
both parties not members of the
legislature all friends of ratifica-
ton. will be held to consider the
question Of instituting legislative
investigation into the lobbying sit
uation, the interests appearing to
be in the saddle TO defeat ratifica-
tion." Houck said.
There Is belief here among pro-
ratificationists that conspiracy is
on to get friends Of ratification who
are members of the legislature, to
suddenly and conveniently disap-
pear and return home on account
OF sickness in-families and for 9TH
er reasons"
Sure Of Defeat
"Anti-suffragists said they are
more confident the ratification res
olution would be defeated than
they were when the legislature ad-
3ourned Friday. Speaker Seth M.
Walker Of the house said defeat of
suffrage Is certain.
North Carolina Vote Near.
Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 16.-Predic-
tions by leaders in the north Caro-
line leSisIasufe that the Senate in
the next few days would vote on
ratification OF the federal suffrage
amendment, caused suffragists and
their opponents today to redouble
their efforts to secure pledges of
support. Neither the senate nor
the house were in session, both hav-
ing recessed over Sunday until late
tomorrow.
The senate, party leaders said,
pr0ba bly, will begin consideration
of the ratification resolution as
soon rs it reconvenes. Some SEN
ators who said they expected the
debate to be brief. predicted that .
vote might be taken tomorrow
night.
House members generally were
of the opinion that the house would
take no action on the suffrage
amendment until it had been dis
posed OF by the senate.

HARDING TO
HOlDup FOR
ENDOF RACE
g. Q. P. Chiefs Keep Him
in Background for Final
spurt Of Campaign.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Marion. Ohio, Aug. Ex-senator
Warren Harding preached ser
mon about honesty to the Republi-
can Editorial association Of Ohio
and called for an era Of honesty in
everything I'm business, in labor.
in professions, in pulpits. in edi-
torial rooms and circulation count"
Then the Republican candidate
went on to say honesty was need
ed I'm politics, in government, in
our daily lives"
Believing that honesty begins at
home, this writer cannot fail to
point out that the paragraph which
Mr.. Harding interected in his rath-
er brief and vague speech OF Is
minutes was the nearest approach
to a concrete reference to the
presidential campaign which the
candidate made. Amy one Of the
$50 editors who made the pilgrim
age to Marion expecting that on
this the first important occasion
since the Cox speech Of accept
ance something vital on the issues
Of the present campaign would be
forthcoming, was disappointed. At
least he was disappointed If he
honestly told you his innermost
thoughts.
Save Harding for Last Of Race.
But anyone who is familiar with
the strategy of the Harding cam
paign was neither disappointed nor
surprised either at the flatness of
the whole affair or the fact that
the senator read . carefully pre-
pared manuscript In which not q
sentence could have been suspect
ed Of delicacy or indiscretion. For
1t is the plan of the Republican
managers to have Senator Harding
keep in the background a. far as
possible until Oct. l. The game
seems to be to let Governor Cox
wear himself out In the next six
weeks and to draw all his FIRE and
then make drive during the month
OF October, just as q runner makes
q sprint in the last lap Of a long
distance race. Harding gives the
impression of conserving his en-
ergy for the final moments Of the
campaign when the advertising and
publicity campaigns will be going
at full blast.
Editors for Him, Anyway.
Anybody who knows Harding
would admit that the senator could
have cast aside his manuscript and
