 SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 15.-Plans for an international court under the league of nations, as reported from Paris,s ,swere advanced by Governor COX of Ohio in his Utah campaign today as a telling argument for the league. They further confound Senator Harding and other republican opponents. the dem- ocratic presidential candidate de- clared in an address here tonight in the great Mormon tabernacle and ear Her today at Ogden.
 Reiterating that the republican league critics had failed to offer any substitute and had expected that Eli hu Root would bring forth new plan, Governor Cox made the following statement on the reported court out line:
 To-day we learn that the commis- sion on which MT. Root is a member has made it's report, establishing a | world court for the adjudication of questions according to rules of law. We find, however, that this court is a part of the league covenant; that MT. Root and his colleagues were appoint ed by the council of the league; that they made their report to the council of the league and this report is now to be submitted to the various mem bers of the league. Furthermore, 1t appears that the judges of the court
 
 the assembly of the league and their salaries are to be paid by the league.
 World Court Part of League
 'It is apparent, therefore, that this court of interna tional justice, which Mir. Harding hoped would be a substi- tute for the league of nations, now appears as an essential part of the league, and one which without the league would have no standing what ever
 This limb having been cut off, Mir Harding sitting on the end, we may confidently look forward to another frantic effort from Marion in an at tempt to confuse the public and to | keep both Senator Johnson, who is against any kind of league, and Elihu Root, who is not only for the league but has performed valiant services for the existing league, for the party candidate"
 The league. together with progress ivism, were the backbone of all ot Governor Cox's addresses today. He delivered five, beginning early this morning at Pocatello, Idaho, with later addresses at Logan -and Brigham Utah, en route to Ogden and Salt Lake City.
 Crowds Greet Demo Candidate
