PREMIER BES|EGED
!. BY IRISH PROTESTS
Pleas for Terence MacSWe-
ney Say CIemency Would
Aid Peace.

LONDON. August 81 (by the Asso-
Grated Press).-Bishop Daniel Cohalan
Vi .oFk has written a strong appeal to
the London Times urging the release
OF Lord Mayor MacSweney Of Cory.
SAYING his Imprisonment offends all
sense of Justice
me offense charged to the lord
h issor has no substance" says the
lshop letter. The sentence has
no moral sanction and is a manifest
injustice"
me BISHOP points out that pacifica-
tlon of Ireland would be rendered
more difficult through harsh treat
ment of the lord mayor.
Commenting on existing conditions
IN ireland, Bishop Cohalan says the
government has resumed a Balfourian
policy. 1t is now familiar and
true expression that government in
ireland is government by imprison-
ment. by deportation. by arson and
oy murder" he concludes
Premier Lloyd George at Lucerne
IS oeing bombarded with appeals in
behalf of Terence MacSweney, lord
mayor of Cork. who is on a hunger
strike in prison here. The general
tenor of the appeals is that a show
or clemency in this case will open the
gate for reconciliation with Ireland.
"hlle refusal would have the op-
posite effect. A strongly worded let
ter from James O'Grady, member of
the house of commons, also has been
received.
Test of Sincerity.
The test of your sincerity in de-
string a reconciliation is uncondi-
tional." says Mr.. O'Grady's letter.
Release MacSweney. If you refuse
this then be damned to you and your
government"
Timothy M. Healy. former member
OF parliament, in a letter to the Dub
lin press. angnly accuses Premier
Lloyd George of overriding the kings
desire to show clemency in the Mac
sweeney case. He declares that the
premier by closing the gates of
mercy with a clang has made a more
perverse, ignorant and lawless in
vasion of the authority of the crown
In Ireland than any man in arms
against it.
Mayor MacSweney's condition was
unchanged tonight. He was very
weak. and one of his relatives re-
manned almost constantly at his bed
side.
Colby Requested to Act.
ASHEV1LLE. N. c.. August Is
Hainb bridge Colby, Secretary of State,
has been requested to act in behalf
of Terence MacSweney. lord mayor
OF Cork. and endeavor to obtain his
release from Brixton prison. London,
where he is on a hunger strike. His
sister, Rev. Madam MacSweney, prin-
cipal of the collegiate department of
a college here. has telegraphed Sec
rotary Colby asking him to use his
Office in seeking the release of her
brother.
No direct reply has been received
from the Secretary, although the
madam has been informed that because
her brother is not an American citizen
the department cannot act in an of
fetal capacity.
Through sisters at the convent it
was learned that the madam declares
firmly her conviction that her BROTH
er's course is right, although she is
previously shocked at his possible
fate.
MacSweney is forty years old and
highly educated, having produced
dramas and other literary work of
merit: He married four years ago
and has one daughter. A younger
brother of the imprisoned lord mayor
recently arrived in New York.

"But, Boys, Get the Money!"
From the New York World.
Men have been hanged on less evil
support of his charge that the repub-
lean managers were raising $15,-
600, 600 fund to buy the presidency.
Mr.. Hays pouts prettily and calls the
charges an insult" but the fact re-
mains that they are supported by
the republican national committee it
self.
AS part of his proof Gov Cox sub
mits list prepared in the Office of
the treasurer of the committee giving
the campaign fund quotas of fifty
alone provides for more than $4,000
900. beginning with the tribute of
81. 900. 600 levied on New York. In adj
dition Gov. Cox cites the Official Bull
letin of the republican committee as
evidence in respect to the sums of
money collected in other cities not on
the list.
Senator Har1ing's return to NOR
malcy is triumphant in this miserable
scandal. 1t is a return to the nor
malcy Of Fosters frying the fat" 1t
is return to the normally of bud

the normalcy Of Quay's shaking the

malcy of Hannaism and it's slush
funds used to corrupt politics on the
pretense Of saving the national honor.
Case Not Proved.
From the New York Sun and Herald
All that Gov. Cox has done yet is to
make statements, draw differences
and present exhibits which consti-
tute the case he has offered to sub
nit to a competent tribunal for ex-
animation and ascertainment. The
word proof" used SO loosely by him
self and by the World, implies the
verification which is yet lacking both
as to dime and purpose of ex-
penditure. The investigation of Gov.
Cox's artfully insinuated charges. we
hope, will be prompt and thorough.
His statements and his documentary
evidence are proper subjects Of i'm
partial inquiry by Senator kenyon's
subcommittee. So also would be the
money-raising enterprises of the dem
ocratic organization and it's allies and
associates in the eague-promotion

size of the republican campaign fund.

the World impudently uses the word.
Where Cox Should Speak.
From the Philadelphia Press.
After all his buster about a re-
publican campaign fund, his agile
present proof of his extravagant
claim, Gov. Cox fails to prove his
case. The republican national COM
mittee has made no secret of the
method it has adopted for securing a
campaign fund and the progress it
has made which the treasurer of the
committee frankly says has SO far
resulted in contributions of less than
a million.
But Gov. Cox takes fragments of
information. which is far from GER
tain to be correct as he presents it,

Suffrage Ratification
Celebrated by Harding
With Women of Marion

MARION, August Rehabilitation
Of the suffrage amendment was cele-
brated at Senator Harding's front
porch last night at q meeting in
which the republican nominee and
several scores of Marion women took
part.
The senator expressed his pleasure
at the success of the suffrage cause
and told the women he had every
confidence that the members Of their
sex would live up fully to the newly
imposed obligations of the franchise.
He also urged that there be NO segre-
cation of women in a party founded
on sex prejudice.
At the suffrage celebration short
speeches were made by Senator Hard
ing. Col. Harvey. former Senator
George Sutherland of Utah. who has
since yesterday. and Charles Warren
Of Michigan. Col. Harvey described
himself as the lone, lone democrat left
east OF the Allegheny mountains" and
called on his sister democrats" in the
delegation to vote for Harding.
VIII Vote BY Principle.

believed they would vote according to
principle and conviction rather than
prejudice and would not bs1nduly

exertion of authority.

The following excerpts from editorials
appearing in eastern newspapers ind-
! cate the impression created by Gov.
Cox's charges that the republicans have
set out to raise campaign fund Of $15,-
100000
What Gov. Cox Proves.
From the New York Times
Gov. Cox has not done the i'm
possible. No one versed in such mat
tiers expected for a moment that he
could prove" the existence of a SIS
00O, 900 republican campaign fund. That
was a round figure, convenient for use
on the stump But in the nature of the
case there could be no proof, whether
mathematical or logical. that such a
| sum had been or could be raised
Quotas are not collections. Campaign
solicitors go out TO their work very
much in the spirit Of Gen. Grant, when
The asking price was much higher
than what he was ready to take. We
have also to be fair enough to take
knowledge Of the fact that the amounts
gathered by the republican national
committee are to be apportioned among
state and local organizations. This puts
somewhat different color on the large
total. Even accepting the figures pro-
duced by Gov. Cox, the republican cam
paign fund is still several millions short
OF what had been confidently charged.
Making all these concessions, how
ever. IT Is plain that Gov. Cox has made
highly effective speech 1t will be ex-
ceedIngly damaging to the republicans.
The reason is that the confidential party
documents of which the governor has
got hold are stamped all over with the
commercial spirit.
The Cox "Proof."
Prom the New York Tribune
Candidate Cox having fired the
bomb he has been feverishly mount
ing a Big Bertha to discharge. has
| the projectile exploded with damae
ing force or has it arrived as a
harmless "dud"? May the republicans
laugh as did the Parisians when an
official communique gravely reported
the casualties suffered by a bunch of
chickens?
Candidate Cox does not state or
hint at the size of his campaign fund
has nothing to say as to how it is
being raised. Not long ago the Cox
chairman. just after an interview
Will Hio SiicL, Lnat as
to the size of contributions the sky
was the limit-that the more and big
ger they were the better he would
be satisfied. But Mr.. Cox reports
nothing as to the sums raised in his
behalf. He is SO busy telling what he
suspects as to have no time to tell
what he knows.
But Mr.. Cox will not be able to con-
tinue silent. The Kenyon committee
meets Monday. Chairman Hays is to
submit a complete list of republican
contributors. Chairman White must
toe the same mark-giving his tes-
timony under oath, and with SOLDERING
knowledge that perjury is dangerous.
The public is to know not only the
size Of the campaign funds. but whom
| they came from and how they are
being spent. Candidate Cox has raised
