Roosevelt Assuils
Hays s FundReply

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-Frank-
lin d. Roosevelt, in a statement is
sued here tonight, declared that Re-
publican Chairman viii H. Hays had
failed to answer charges by himself
an: Governor Cox that huge Re-
publican campaign fund" was being
raised $50 big that the presumption
must be against the honest use OF
such a sum"
Mr. Hays's explanation is not an
country that he and his organiza-
spanking" Mr. Roosevelt declared.
He said Mr.. HAYS had not denied
that the sum of 100000 was allotted
as the quota for the city of Chicago
to raise, and charged that in Mr..
Roosevelt's own county in upstate
New York, Duchess County the Re
publican quota was $4,000.
A pledge that the United States
will enter the League of Nations f
the Democratic national ticket is
elected. was made by Mr.. Roosevelt
at a meeting of the San Francisco
center of the California civic league
to-day. Mr.. Roosevelt characterized
the campaign as one of progress
against reaction"
Addressing gathering tonight Mr.
Roosevelt said the Republican party
had been "betrayed" by "the same
group of selfish individualists who have
sold it out before" and "destroyed that
party's chance of success in the No
vember elections
81 am quite willing to admit that
four months ago the Republican party
seemed likely to carry the election he
said. of the Republican party had
been true to it's ideals it would have
had an excellent chance of success, but
once again it has been betrayed. Once
again the element in the Republican
party which believes in going forward
has been placed in the most difficult
dilemma.

publican ranks against methods used
at Chicago. Delegates to that conven-
ton, delegates to Republican state con-

Debs Insists
Coal Shortage
Is Real Issue
Candidates Statement From
Cell Denounces League,
Wilson, Compers, Parties,
Capitalists and Poland

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-The first of a
series of statements which will replace
speeches in the campaign of Eugene
Debs, Socialist nominee for President,
now confined in Atlanta penitentiarv
was issued to-day by Socialist national
headquarters.
In it Mr.. Debs called the League of
Nations controversy a "dshoncst Is
sue and said the Invest question be-
fore the American public was the coal
shortage. He said that while a short
age of cars was making it impossible
to meet the demands for coal. "Mr
Wilson has had made by special execu-
tive order four thousand cars of a
special design to aid the aristocracy of
Poland crush the only genuine demo
cratic government on the face of the
earth"
Both Parties Denounced
Besides denouncing the Republican
and Democratic parties, bitterly at
lacking President Wilson and Samuel
Gompers, and branding the Farmer
Labor party as a one-campaign organi-
cation that will never survive this years
battle, Mr.. Debs dwelt on the ecent
railroad strike and compared the So
called "outlaw" strikers to the Ameri-
can Railway Union men whom he led
in the zone big union" strike Of 1898.
The Socialist nominee said Senator
Harding and Governor Cox remind me
Of two Humpty Dumptes. They are
O. ~
a single idea for a man VINO is alive
They get their inspiration from the
tombs. The whole performance is arti-
fetal"
Were I campaigning" Mr.. Debs
said, Il believe | should dismiss most
of the technical terms and speak in
the clearest possible language.
Terre Haute Situation Reviewed
II should say there can be no change
as long as a few people own this coun-
try, its industries and it's resources.
Take for example the situation in my
own town CT Terre Haute Terre Haute
is surrounded by coal, is built over a
coal deposit, Yet it is impossible to get
coal at any price. A few owners have
taken possession of coal mines. They
say this is ours and they have shut
out the people. The miners are at
coal even to keep themselves warm
unless the mine owners give them per-
mission.
The people in this country have not
known what their government was do
ing in opposing the Russians. 1t was
kept a very private secret until it was
revealed by the foreign dispatches, and
then Secretary of War Baker was
forced to confess that the War De-
partment mad lent 500. 100000 on
credit to the Polish government on the
basis of notes which are not worth the
paper they are written on.
HE presented them with $4,000, 900
worth of American bacon, which was
not available for the American people
--although bacon is So cents pound at
home-not available because the beef
trust objected that it would check the
rise in prices.
millions of dollars worth of sup
plies, including meat, were turned over
to the French and not brought home
because they were afraid it might re-
duce prices to the American people
and so check the profits of our trusts. "

Enrich Home to Aid Harding

William H. P. Enrich, a commission
er of deeds in Paris and counsellor Of
International law. arrived here yes
terday on the American liner St. Paul
from Southampton and Cherbourg after
an absence of seven years.
tie said he came home to vote. but
primarily to offer his services to the
republican National Committee in the
hope that he might take the stump
Tor Senator Harding.
I'm my opinion he said, president
Wilson is the greatest outstanding fig
ure, but he is dead politically The
European nations have lost faith in
him Personally l am for league of
nations, but a league of European ma
tons only, with the United States on
the outside holding the balance Of
power. If any of the European powers
is left out of the league there is bound
to be another league. Therefore. the
United States should hold aloof"

report in The New York Times that
certain interests were banded together
to buy the Presidency, and that mill
ions had been contributed to the cam
paign fund of the Republican party
with sinister intent
And again, their checkbooks are
ready and open and hundreds of thou
sands-yes, millons-have gone into
derhold on the government And also

of this kind and if this is the situation
we want to thoroughly investigate it.
II am sure that as a good American

you will be willing to assist us and
would not make these statements with
out evidence to support them.

21O Hungarian Prisoners
OF War Slain by Guards

LONDON. Aug. pa - Two hundred
and ten Hungarian prisoners of war
were killed recently at Hermannstadt,
Pennsylvania. when they attacked Ru-
manian guards, says a dispatch from
that city to The Daily Herald.
The prisoners were being repatriated,
declares the dispatch, and when they
reached Hermannstadt they were de-
tanned at the railway station by Ru-
manian soldiers. This action brought
protests from the prisoners.
The mother of one of the prisoners
attempted to force her way into the
station. She was struck by Ru-
manlan soldier. This enraged the Hun
garlans, who attacked the guard. In
the resulting fight machine guns were
turned on the prisoners.
