Some Optimism.

Some Optimism.
Persistent reports of efforts to set
tie the strike partially relieved the
spirit Of anxious uncertainty.
The newspapers are making much of
the fact that while the strike is com
pletely in effect, there are considerable
sections of the miners who entered it
halfheartedly. The West Yorkshire
miners are among those who disap-
proved of the strike, although declar-
ing they will stand by the others.
The miners Of the vital South Wales
coal field epresent the belligerent sec
tiOn Of the strike. The bulk of the ex-
tremists of the federation are to be
found here and are eager to carry on
the fight.
Industries Tied Up.
With the steel and iron, shipping,
and other industries already hard hit,
many thousands Of men are out of
work this morning in various parts of
the country and by the end of the
week 1t is expected that the total will
be many scores of thousands.
All available supplies Of coal have
been placed under government control.
There is much speculation whether
in the event of the railroad men or
transport workers deciding to support
the miners by sympathetic strikes,
thereby precipitating still graver in
dustrial crisis, the government would
decide to appeal to the country by a
general election to indorsc the course
taken by it.

DEMANDS HAYS RESIGN

BUTTE. Mont, Sept9. - Governor Cox arrived here at S:30. an hour late. A great roar greeted the governor as he stepped to the rostrum after an ride from the station. A company of regular infantry was an escort.
 Opposite the court house spectators sat on the tops of houses and stores and several thousand were packed in the street below.
 Governor Cox started his address by telling of progressive legislation in Ohio and stating that Senator Hard ing led the "reactionary" fight there as in the nation. Scattering applause was given. Discussing progressivism Governor Cox said that 'as progress i've Ohio is, Pennsylvania is just as reactionary."
 The candidate was applauded when he said that "radicalism always was the result Of governmental abuse, op- pressiOn and injustice"
 Apparently referring to the Non Partisan League movement in North Dakota, the governor said it could have been avoided If the government had exercised common sense and pro- tectcd the people against SraspinS, greedy big business, which ground down the farmers"
 Turning to Republican finances the candidate said:
 This is a crooked piece of business, this attempt to buy the presidency"
 Somebody apparently at Chicago was not telling the truth" said the candidate.
 "There are laws against perjury. ask that the law be enforced. If the Republicans approve of this they will continue Will Hays as chairman. If not they will have him resign immedj- atcly shall ask that he resign from now until election day" Further investigation Governor Cox said, would reveal that corporations had contributed to Republican funds and he said such action is a legal of fense.

Through the league, the candidate said, material prosperity would be had by creating foreign mar kets for copper and ether products of mine, farm and labor, when European conditions become stabilized.
 The Irish question, Governor Cox said, needs settlement to promote peace between the English speaking races. Reading Article II of the league covenant, providing for consid- eration by the league council or as sembly of any international Ques- tions whatever, which threaten to disturb either the peace or the good understanding between nations," Gov ernor Cox said that under existing conditions the Irish question could not be presented ito the bar or pub lie opinion"
 Under the league it can,' he con- tinued. We have four times as many people Of Gaelic blood in the United States as there are in Ireland, and their natural feeling not only figure in our domestic relations put also stand like granite between the stretch ing hands of England and America. So long. therefore. as the Irish queS- tiOn remains unsettled, there will be some conflict in America with the idea of worldwide cO-ope. ation be- tween the English speaking nations.
 Tt must not be forgotten that when we took up arms, the thing that gave us unity and great enthusiasm was our declaration that We fought to end the rule of might. that we were the champions Of the rights Of small peo- pies, that we stood for the reign of law based upon the consent of the governed As l have said before, the | league contemplates enduring peace i There cannot be peace without happi- ness. There will not be happiness
 without justice. You cannot take mountains nor rivers, nor other ph. s. ical characteristics and by their nat ural lines create governmental Sn'i- ties that will endure. On the other hand. racial groups will form better guarantee of peace. This is not only i fundamental oomuIOa ScnSe but it i touches the basic nrirciple of the a!- misticc ai.d league i,E,u Therefore, l contend that the League of Nations willwill be helpful to the civilization
 of the world. because it will be creat- i i've of d new life, national and other
