cused of Being Reactionary
In Speech Before Democrats.
CONTEST 1912 is CITED
Argument That League Would
Increase Probability of War
Is Particularly Assailed.
(Ry Associated Press.)

Columbus, Aug i7-Senator Harding.
republican presidential candidate. was
again attacked as reactionary tody
by Governor Cox, his democratic op-
poneEi. addressing the Ohio democratic
convention and speaking on his state
leadership. G1S reviewer the contcs.
Of 1912. when he supported and Harding
opposed the new Ohio constitution
This year, as in that year, Cox SAID the
issue is between progress and reaction.
Cox cited statement by da ding
that the new Ohio constitution meant
socialism and revolution, and said the
constitutions opponents were aidc1 by
paid lobbyists and money interests.
Cox also denounced what he termed
Harding's plan for separate peace with
Germany, but said the democratic posi-
tion on the League of Nations reserva-
tion was not 'unbending" The league
was also featured in addresses by Sec
retary of War Baker and Senator
Pomerene.
Cox said Harding promises nothing
regarding peace, but his candidacy
promised the United States would en-
ter the league as soon as possible af-
ter March L.. Cox denied that the league
could order American soldiers over
seas, saying that only congress can de-
clare war and said such charges re-
garding the leagues powers are de
liberate and willful untruth."
Saying the democratic position on
reservations is not unbending. Cox
added "Ne claim we can accept any
thing that interprets, that calls atten-
tion to the limits of our constitution,
that calls attention Of other nations
that we will go thus far and no further. "
Perfect perfidious act and dis
honorable deed" were among the terms
Cox applied to the separate peace pro-
posal and the convention gave him ova-
ton after ovation as he proceeded. Cox
also denounced particularly the repub-
lican argument that the league would
increase the probability Of war.
When asked tonight whether he
would go to Nashville to aid in ratifi-
cation of the federal suffrage amend
ment, Governor Cox said he had mo
thought of doing So"
Ohio democrats met here to formally
open the state and national campaigns
to adopt state platform and select "a
presidential electors.
1t being the home state of the ma
tional ticket, leaders planned to make
the occasion one in which Governor
Cox may start the fight which they
hone will land Ohio in the democratic
column at the November election.

Completely Reorganized Sec
retary Post Orders.
nv Associated Press.l

Washington. Aug. 17.-Reorganization
of the bureau of immigration has been
ordered by Assistant Secretary of Labor
Post.
The action was taken, officials of the
department said today, because Of con-
ditions' indicating utter disorganiza-
ton" of the bureau, both here and in
its field service.
FIRST steps in the reorganization were
taken by Assistant Secretary Post on
July 81, when Commissioner General OF
Immigration Caminetti was shorn of
the authority which he had exercised
for some time past of making recon-
in appeal and warrant cases
passing through his hands. The de-
partment contended that only the Sec
retary of labor and the assistant secre-
tary were empowered by law to exer-
else judgment in such cases.
On August Ii a memorandum was
prepared by Secretary Post inquiring
the disorganized conditions in the bu-
reau OF immigration and its consequent
inefficieney." Certain undesirable"
conditions prevailing in the bureau
We're ordered remedied Immediately.
These included, besides the enforce
ment of the decision affecting The
transfer OF judgment over appeal and
warrant cases from the commissioner
general of immigration to the secre-
tary and assistant secretary of labor.
tire excessive freedom of access TO Tie
immigration bureau during working
hours of persons not officially con-
nected With tha bureau.

ROTARY DIVIDED
ON ROAD BONDS
Members Take Part In Discus
sion of Proposed State Con-
stitutional Amendment.

Discussion of the proposed consti-
tutional amendment for the state bond
issue for good roads was heard by the
Rotarians yesterday at their regular
luncheon held at the San Carlos.
Talks were made by members of the
club both for and against the amend
ment. the club taking no official ac-
ton on the proposed measure.
The subject was brought to the at
tention of the club by George Eman-
uel. a member of the Joint Good Roads
Commission, who gave a general out
line of the proposition. The state
bond issue is the quickest and surest
way of getting a complete system or
roads throughout the state, said Mr..
Emanuel, but if the matter is left to
the individual counties long gaps will
appear in the state highways.
The only way to overcome this and
to make the highways complete
throughout the state will be for the
state bond issue to carry and let the
state have supervision of the construc-
ton of the roads. he added. The State
Highway Commission, said Mr.. Eman-
uel. has guaranteed that West Florida
viii receive her share of the roads to
be built under the state bond issue and
by the state engineering department.
The interest and sinking fund, stat
ed Mr.. Emanuel, will be taken care of
by the automobile license tax and
property will not be taxed any more
than it is at present to repay the
floated bonds. He also spoke in favor
of the Escambia county two-million
dollar bond issue.
