COX ATTEMPTS
NEWSTRATEGY
Declares Public Wants
Change" Slogan Is False
And Also Futile.

Indianapolis Oct. 2S.-Gov. Cox
sought here tonight to knock the
props from under that part of the
Republican strategy which has been
built on the ground that the Ameri-
can people want a change in the
political complexion of. the Federal
administration.
This new tack in the Democratic
candidates offensive, coming five
DAYS before the election and on his
fourth invasion of Indiana, was
looked upon as a final recognition
that the decentralization sent-
ment over the country presents
one of the most difficult obstacles
in his path to the Presidency, de-
spite his persistent efforts to make
the league of NATIONS issue the de-
terminlng factor.
4 cry for a change. Gov. Cox
charged, was raised by the opposi-
ton as part of an effort to di-
vert the issue. But every smoke
screen set up sy the Senatorial oil
garchy has been pierced
The specious attempt to build up
a slogan for a change is the last
TO fall. With analysis Of what a
change would mean, the people
have gained understanding and have
made their decision.
The American people clearly are
for our going into the league. The
lines are definitely set. Ny cleo
ton means our going into the
league, and notwithstanding the
'wiggling and wobbling' OF Senator
Harding the voters have taken him
at his word that he is against the
league and that he has turned his
back upon it,"

Followed Conscience, He Ayers.
Regarding the moral issue: In
your speech at the funeral OF the
American sailors killed at Vera
Cruz, you said: Il never was under
fire, but I fancy ther are some
things just as hard TO do as to go
under fire. l fancy it is just as
hard to do your duty when men are
sneering at you as when they are
shooting at you. The cheers
of the moment are not what a man
ought to think about. but the YER
dict of his conscience"
Mr.. Wilson, I thought of the YER
dict of conscience, and l followed
It. That my conscience did not err
is evidenced by the quotation from
Father Molloy and by other CHS
tian testimony. For more than
twenty nine months l have been il
legally held a prisoner for doing
what you urged. I do not. however,
seek mercy. Nor do condemn you;
on the contrary, I respect you for
many reasons 1t is a clash OF
ideas. Truth will triumph. Do the
courageous thing. Mr.. President, and
ii you honestly believe that / should
be imprisoned, then do not further
belittle yourself by continuing this
forcible feeding, for forcible feed
ing is merely death on the INSTALL
ment plan. Do the job right and
starye me all at once do not
seek death. but / am ready. to die,
and would rather die than. through
the medium Of continued imprison-
ment, to morally support the satanic
institution of militarism.
With every good wish for your
personal happiness and success,
I am. Yours respectfully,
BENJAMIN J. SALMON.

London. Oct. IS. - The reported
failure of the league of nations

solve the Polish Lithuanian dispute.
growing out OF the capture of wilma
by the Polish Gen. Zeligewski, is
regarded here as fraught with the
most important results.
1t is believed that KOvno will fall

onslaught from Wilma, which means
the practical disappearance of the
present Lithuanian government at
least so far as the Lithuanian for

1t is not believed that Poland will
go so far as to annex Lithuania out
right, but instead will establish at
Wilma a hybrid government whose
policies will be made through War
saw, with French dictation. The
consequence of this to Germany is
apparent. She already sees herself
cut off not only from Soviet Russia,
but also by land by Latvia. Poland.

OPINION COLD

Listless and Apathetic State

TREND TO REPUBLICAN
Senatorial Contest Affords
Chief Interest on Eve of
Election.

San Francisco Oct. 2s.-The ma
tional campaign in California has
been marked by a listlessness and
apathetic state Of the public mind
as to the Presidential candidates.
Politicians are amazed at the utter
lack of enthusiasm and the failure
Of the people to awaken TO the ma
tional contest N so far as Harding
and Cox are concerned.
Cox came into the State and made
several speeches. They were well
received. He got crowds. They
listened. But there was not one

face.

the only big Republican who has
been here except former Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, and a belated
train prevented Beveridge from
keeping his speaking date in San
Francisco.
The Democratic organization has
openly pleaded for funds with which
to make even a surface showing of
activity. The Republican national
organization in the State has been
in good form, with apparently
ample financial strength, but il has
been directing itself mainly TO the
putting over of the party candidate
for United States Senator. Samuel
NJ. Shortridge, against the incum-
bent Democrat, Senator James D.
Phelan.
That hight has attracted the real
interest in the campaign. Some OF
the wise ones insist that this is due
to the feeling that Harding is safe
to carry California by large
plurality.
Republican Trend All Year.
There has been a decided Repub-
lican trend all year. State regis
tration shows a tremendous pre-
ponderance OF Republican ENROLL
ment for the Presidential election.
BY the token OF party designation
the experts conclude there is ground
{ the view that the State will be
Republican at the election Novem-
ber ?. At any rate the politicians
all round here concentrated on the
Senatorial tight. There are num-
erous views OF that outcome.
Sanguine Democrats and some Re
publicans say Phelan is going to
win. Many others are certain that
on the Republican wave they sec
coming Shortridge VIII be swept
along with a victorious Republican
national ticket.

PUBLIC WORKS

Departments

Chambers of Commerce and other
business organizations in North Da-

Jones Reavis bill, favored the estab-

Washington, D. c.
The referendum, which was taken
by 40 organizations and prominent
business men in As states, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Hawaii, the Philip
pines and Cuba, contained three pro-
positions regarding the plan, two of
which were approved by the majority
vote and by some North Dakota Soc
ieties. Each organization cast as
many votes as it had delegates at
the annual meeting of the Chamber,
not exceeding ten.
The national vote favored the es-
Enlistment to the Public Works De-

name and excluding from it all nom
related bureaus and offices, was also
approved. The North Dakota Retail
Merchants association Of Fargo, the
