RECALL HUGHES TRIP

Greeley, Colo, Dot. S,--Franklin u.
Roosevelt, starting his second and final
days campaign In Colorado here yes
terday severely criticised Senator
Harding and Gov. Coolidge for not maxi
ing an extensive speaking tour Of the
country ain order to give the people OF
the United States an opportunity to
size them up"
-"Of course, there Is apparent reason
for the position OF the campaign man
ayers" he said. 'They view with hor
ror a possibility Of a repetition of Mr.
Hughes trip in 1916. They know that,
even more than Mr.. Hughes, their can
ddate for the presidency has nothing
constructive to offer and they have seen
the effects Of one campaign Of gloom;
A real campaign by Mr. Harding would
let the cat out of the bag. 1t would
exposeg the utter hollowncss Of their
pretensions. 1t would expose. too,
what every one through the western
country knows, and even the repub,i =
can managers themselves admit the
complete lack of enthusiasm among the
voters for the hand picked republican
head of the ticket"
Mr.. Roosevelt again charged that
Senator Harding purposely refused to
commit himself TO definite foreign
policy at this time in order to hold the
opposing factions of his own party In
line. He pleaded for the election Of
Gov. Cox "hecause Of his great pro
gressive record" as governor Of OHIO,
asserting that Senator Harding was
completely tied up, with the reaction
airy interests" and that nothing con-
structive could be expected of his ad-
ministration
'I have no doubt of what the out
come in Colorado will be on Nov. ., he
added. This state will take It's place
with the other great progressive states

BRITAIN HAD PROBLEM
Other Nations Driven by War
to Unite Best Elements
Of ALI Factions.

Llandudno, Wales. Oct. S.-Premier
Lloyd George. in a political speech here
this afternoon, declared that the Con
fict Of parties in America has led to the
result that they have not yet signed
treaty of peace with Germany" He
asserted that II there had been a con-
tfct like that in Great Britain the lat
ter would have had no peace and there
would have been no treaty,
There are some who criticise the
treaty of Versailles" the premier de-
clard. Better that than a state of war
should be going on for years and moth
ing done" Mr.. Lloyd George added
that there were some people who imag-
ined that to ignore disagreeable facts
was proof of exalted principles.
Every belligerent country except the
United States" said the premier. has
been driven to form coalition govern
ment in order to get the best men of al
parties together to save the nation"
The United States was not so much
involved in the war as the countries OF
Europe, he pointed out. 1t came in
late and then put forth colossal efforts.
Its assistance was crucial and dete rm.-
nant, but 1t did not have the time TO
make the same sacrifices bs the other
helligerent countries. The burdens Of
war in America were heavy but rot
comparabl to those of Europe.

An armistice has been effected between

New Poland will embrace part OF the
old German empire, the old Russian

to Poland because of the loss OF Ger

will get the old German city OF Danzig,
