POST, SAYS GOV. cox
oBy The Associated Press1

COLUMBUS, o., July 14.-Charging
that Senator Harding, the Republican
Presidential nominee, had made his
front porch listening post" Cover
nor Cox, the Democratic nominee, to-
day issued a statement replying to
Senator Harding's statement of yes
terday that the Wilson administration
had saddled the League Of Nations
upon him as the chief campaign issue.
Governor Cox's statement said his
campaign will be dedicated to the task
of bringing peace with honor or re-
adjusting the affairs of civilization
and of creating new day out Of
which we will make the best of les
sons of the past"
The Governor declared that the
things Senator Harding believes vital
and important "from his isolated pro-

NO THIRD PARTY MAY
GET WEDDING LICENSE

The operation of the new Statewide
marriage license law has been the
cause OF no little inconvenience to
prospective bridegrooms and brides,
insofar as securing the necessary Ii
cense to we'd is concerned. The effect
of the law has already made itself
noticeable in the Office of the Clerk of
the Circuit Court where all marriage
licenses are issued.
The law provides that licenses must
be procured by either of the parties TO
the contract, and this brings about
something ola rub. Not infrequently
have the victims of Dan Cupid left the
matter of getting the license with
some relative or friends. which was
permissible under the old law. A
case in point developed at the Court
House this morning. when a gentle
man of the city appeared TO get the
license for young couple, and was
advised of the provisions of the law
There has been number of like cases
since the law became operative or
June 1, last, and it is not unlikely
there will be many others before this
feature of the law is understood.

ROOSEVELT WOULD LET
PEOPLE DECIDE ISSUE

HYDE PARK, ~ Y, July a.
Franklin d. Roosevelt, replying at his
home here, today to the charge Of
Senator Harding that President Will
son had forced the Democratic Presi-
Dental and Vice-Presidential nomi-
nees to accept his views that the
League of Nations should become the
dominant campaign issue, declared he
was quite willing, as l know Cover
nor Cox is, to let the American people
decide whether they will go back to
the conditions of 1914, or whether they
will join with civilization and human
ity in this great step forward"
THE attempt by Senator Harding
yesterday to befog the true League Of
Nations issue by driving in the name
of President Wilson is merely further
evidence of the historical fact that a
certain type of Senatorial mind cares
more about squaring an ancient
grudge against an individual than it
does to consider the true welfare Of
the Nation"

best wishes as well as those of the
American people on the occasion of

COUNTY WITHHOLDS
REBATE OF TAXES

At the meeting of the County Com
missioners yesterday the Board adopt
ed the advice submitted by Counsellor
Melvin that payment of the rebate of
taxes claimed by the Prudential Oil
Company be deferred pending final
determination by the Courts of the
question. The amount involved Is
about $4,000, and hinges on the point
as to whether certain large tanks OF
the company, located at Curtis Bay
were assessable in 1918 as real prop
erty or personally. If real estate they
could not be exempt from taxation
under the law, and if personality there
existed a discretion under local law
as to whether or not the abatement
should be granted by the County Com
missioners.
The county refused the exemption
in 1918 and the company paid the tax
under protest, but the State Tax Com
mission later passed an order re-
versing this and it is for the purpose
of getting the whole matter finally set
lieu ny Iouib uOSi9iOh AVi buS PASo
ent case, as well as for future guild
ance that the rebate is declined at this
time, thus putting the question the
extent of the powers of the State Tax
Commission. especially as to abolish
ing discretionary power heretofore
executed by the County Commission
ers in the abatement of taxes on man
ufacturing plants.

DIAMETRICAL VIEWS
TAKEN BY MENTORS

1t is now considered likely that the
midshipmen's football team will have
a schedule of eight games preliminary
TO the annual argument with the rival
West Point Cadets. for ii is under
stood that November 20, which had
been left vacant when the schedule
was made up shortly after the close of
the 1919 campaign, probably will be
filled by the eleven OF George Wash
ington University, of Washington.
Negotiations in this direction have
been pending for some time. The
middies' schedule would then be as
follows:
Oct. 2-North Carolina State.
Oct 9-Lafayette.
Oct 16-Bucknell.
Oct 23-Princeton Cat Princeton)
Oct 30-Western Reserve.
Nov. 6--Georgetown.
Nov. 19-Uni. of South Carolina.
Nov 20-George Washington Uni.
(probable.)
Nov. 27-U. s. Military Academy
(Polo Grounds, New York City,
The fact that no game mad been
considered for November 20, il is un.
derstood, was due to the belief of for
mer coach Gilmour Dobie, that 1t was
not wise practice for his charges to
engage in contest just a week be-
fore the all-important struggle of the
season. Bob" Folwell, former Uni
versity of Pennsylvania star. who will
be the mentor of the middies during
tho coming season, entertains dia-
metrically opposite view of the mat
ter.
Hence the stronger desire on the
part of the Navy TO have a schedule
that will include a game on every Sat-
urday, beginning with October 2 and
carrying them through to November
20, inclusive, and then on the follow
ing Saturday the big inter-service
game will be staged. Whereupon the
management began to look around,
and George Washington being looked,
upon as a satisfactory opponent, ne
gotiations have all but been closed, 1t
is understood.
