WE FOUGHT CLEAN
SAYS ROOSEVELT.
Candidate Ends Campaign
With Attack on Repub-
Iican Inconsistency.

HUDSON, n. Y. November (by
the Associated Press) D.
Roosevelt, democratic vice presiden~
tial nominee. today closed his eleven-
week campaign in thirty-odd state1
with an address in which he declared
the issue is tightly drawn between
ssCox and our place in the league at
it's head or Harding and fiat re3ec-
tion.'
"BroadIy speaking" he said. the
ouestion at issue is not one OF indf-
viduals or parties. but whether the
United States is to finish the war or
to quit cold. whether we are to JOIN
the other forty odd nations in the
great working league of nations that
will serve to end war for all time, or
whether we will turn our back on
them and choose policy OF nationai
isolation with its threat OF future
wars and the consequent burden or
ever-growing armaments-
Mr. Roosevelt charged the repub-
lican party with Inconsistency in that
Senator Harding. in appealing recent
ly for a republican Congress, was doing
the same thing over which repuoncans
made a ''veritabie howl" when simi-
lar appeal came from President Will
SON in 1918. But I realize" he con-
tinued, "it is asking too much to ex-
pect consistency from the worlds
greatest exponent Of the modern
.wiggle- and -wobble' policy"
Looking back over the past eleven
weeks" he said, lone thought is up
permost in my mind and it gives me
deem and lasting satisfaction We
have fought a clean fight. There is
deep personal satisfaction in the
knowledge of this. 1t is good to know
that whatever the outcome tomor-
row. we can always feel that we have
come through with clean hands"

DIVERSION Of COAL
TOD|STR|CT ASKED
Committee Goes Before !.
C. C. and Seeks Aid to Stave
Off Famine Here.

Prompt steps to secure an ample
supply of coal for consumers in the
District of Columbia were urged this
afternoon by the District coal COM
mittee before a representative of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
committee, headed by Chairman E. c.
Graham, appeared before E. H. De
Groot, assistant chief of the bureau
of service of the commission, with
| plea for diversion OF coal in sufficient
quantities to supply immediate wants
Of consumers here AT the same time
lit was pointed out that continued
lshipments Of coal In large quantities
must be made for a considerable Pc
!riod before dealers dumps can be sup
piled with the normal average ton
mage of coal here at this time of year
The committee told Mr.. De Groot
that Washington is now suffering
from a every serious coal shortage
and that unless the commission takes
remedial steps efficiency Of the gov
ernment may be impaired by the lack
of coal here. Members asserted that
classed as essential inasmuch as the
we'll being Of the whole nation de-
pends in a large degree on the eff
cheney Of the work of the federal bu-
reaus here. Chairman Graham told Mr..
De Groot that there is not sufficient
coal in the city now to supply ecen
the small wants of consumers at this
time of year and that sudden cold
snap would bring suffering and hard
ship to thousands of persons totally
unable to get coal.
He said there is less than 5000 tons
of anthracite coal on dealers dumps
at present. where normally at this
season there are between $4,000 and
60. 900 tons available for purchasers.
Mr.. Graham told Mr.. De Groot that
dealers here have had orders with
anthracite operators in the Reading
district of Pennsylvania for many
months, but that these orders have
not been filled. He said although
operators have placed orders from
dealers here on priority such place
ment has not resulted in greatly aug
mented shipments of coal to Wash
ington. The normal average con-
sumption of anthracite coal in Wash
ington is about 100000 tons annually.
Mr.. Graham said, pointing out that
this is less than l per cent of the
nations production.

lust TREATMENT
PROMISED Japan
BY j. S. OFFICIALS
California Action Must Ac-
cord With Law ITO Be Ac-
ceptabIe to Country"

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department declared to-
day in a formal statement that no
outcome of the movement in Cali
fornia to recast state laws affecting
alien land tenure will be acceptable
to the country at large that does not
accord with existing and applicable
provisions of law. and. what Is equal
ly important. with the national in
Stinct of justice"
The statement was the first issued
on the California land question, which
long mas been matter of converoa-
tfon between the department and the
japanese ambassador to Washington
Political Significance Denied.
The fact that il was issued on the
eve of the election in California, at
which the proposed new state law il
to be voted upon. was declared by
State Department, officials to have no
political significance.
The impression was given that the
chief purpose was to convey an as
surance to the people of Japan that
the American government would see
to 1t that their legitimate interests
would be safeguarded, and would
continue to have the consideration TO
which they were entitled.
The departments statement was
made public in agreement with the
Japanese government, 1t having been
the understanding from the start OF
the conversations with the Japanese
ambassador that neither government
would issue any statement regarding
the matter without the consent OF the
other.
Omcial Announcement.
The official announcement. prepared
by Cndersecretary Davis. follows:
THE movement in California to re-
cast the state laws affecting alien
land tenure has been receiving. since
its inception, the close and interested
attention of the Department OF state.
The relation of certain treaty pro-
visions to the proposed measure 10
being discussed clearly and ably IN
California and will. doubtless. prove
an element in the states decision az
to the adoption or rejection OF the
proposed measure.
DiscussiOns With Envoy.
TN the meantime the department
has had numerous discussions OF the
most friendly and candid nature with
the ambassador of Japan. and 1t Ii
believed he thoroughly realizes. as we
have sought to make clear. that no
outcome of the California movement
will be acceptable to the country-at-
large that does not accord with exist
ing and applicable provisions OF law,
and. what is equally important, with
the national instinct of justice.

AUSTRIA CALLS FOR FOOD.
Winter Wakens Cities to Shortage !;
Children Fed by q. S.

VIENNA, October 31.-The first
touch Of winter has reawakened
Vienna and other Austrian cities to
the food and fuel situation, which
President Seitz today described to the
Associated Press as most unfavor-
able" Seitz said that the situation
"is generally worse than last year"
While various charities are doing
much to relieve conditions. the Ameri-
fected organization and two years ex-
perience, now is feeding daily 3oO.O 900
children under sixteen years of age.
and also is supplying 100000 children
with clothing.
The Austrian government is CO.
operating with the fund.
Some idea of the extent of the work
of the relief association may be
gained by the fact that 100000 free
meals have been distributed to under
nourished Austrian children in six
teen months. The extension of the
American Relief Associations chari-
ties to include clothing was due to
the fact that thousands of families
had insufficient garments to permit
even one child at time to go to the
kitchens of the fund for food.

SOLDIERS GUARD
BALLOT IN CUBA
Election Today Ends Most
Bitter Campaign Known
in the Island.

HAVANA. Cuba. November 1 (by the
Associated Press).-Cuba is voting to-
day for a new president and the out
come is awaited with considerable
apprehension
The end of the campaign, regarded
as the most bitter since the island
gained the right to govern it's own af-
fairs. found old party lines broken
with right-about shift in leader
ship,
Platform Issues Forgotten.
Platform issues apparently were
forgotten in the fight for control OF
the government by Jose Miguel
Gomez. liberal nominee, and DIR. AL.
fredo Zayas. candidate of the old con-
servative, or coalition, party. Gomez
is a former President Of Cuba. and
Zayas served under him as vice presi-
dent. Vice presidential candidates
were Miguel Arrange, LIBERAL and
Francisco Carrillo, coalition.
Zayas. founder of the liberal fac
tions. broke away from it this year
and parted company with Gomez,

glance would be best understood in
the United States, for example. by the
spectacle of republican national
convention nominating as it's candi
date for president a man named by
the democrats in previous campaign
Soldiers Guard Polls.
Soldiers were on duty in all the
provinces when the first voters reach
ed the polls. Under orders from Presi-
dent Menocal. they were to deal fear
lessly with outlaw bands, which were
reported to be active in some dis
tricts. Fear of trouble was somewhat
allayed by appeals from both candi
dates to their followers to keep the
peace and not provoke a clash with
the opposition.
All Indications pointed to a heavy
vote, with each side claiming victory
Many leaders doubted whether the re-
salt would be known tonight.

COX VISITS TOLEDO
FOR GOOD LUCK"
Makes Y Final speech! Tonight ]! M
at Special Request Of
Party Followers.

DAYTON. Ohio. November 4 (by the
Associated Press). = After a day of
rest at his home here. Gov. Cox was
to leave today for Toledo for the last
speech Of his campaign.
Though the campaign virtually end
ed at Chicago on Saturday, the COVER
nor said he had agreed to make the
iormal close In Toledo on election eve
because party followers there regard
ed his appearance as good luck. as
serting his only chance of defeat was
when he failed to end his speaking
engagements in that city.
Preparations were made today at
the receipt of results on election
night. Special telegraph Instruments
set up in the Office included a receiv-
ing apparatus used in the election
won Dy grover Cleveland more than
quarter Of a century ago.
The governor will return TO this
city from Toledo early election morn
ing and expects to vote as he goes to
his farm from the train. He plans to
speno the day at home, coming to his
polls in the country close.
Ohio Fight Nears End.

Ohio voters today were turning to the
speculative and trying to pick the

which one Of two natives of the
Buckeye state-Senator Warren G..
Harding of Marion or Gov James M.

tor Harding being scheduled to re-
main in Marion.
During the campaign. which prac-
tically closed last Saturday. Ohioans
nave received literal avalanche of
political argument. With Senator
Harding conducting many front
porch" meetings at Marion and Gov.
Cox delivering f1fty-six speeches on
his stumping tour for the state, there
has been no lack of stimulus, and
never before has there been so much
interest and stir over politics.
Among candidates for state offices
the only one who will speak tonight
is W. A. Julian Of Cincinnati, demo-
| cratic candidate for United States
| senator. who delivers an address at
Canton. Most of the others have gone
to their homes to vote and do not
expect to return to the capital until

BIZ n. O. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK, November 1.-Political
managers in both camps believe that
the country is set" for tomorrow's
elections. and that no last-minute
roorbacks need be feared in addition
to those that have been already
sprung. The expected. or at least
prayed for democratic miracle has
failed to develop and politics will take
lis predicted course tomorrow.
The confidence of the democratic
leaders which has been entertained
for the past ten days during the
heralded democratic drive" is rapidly
diminishing, as perfect avalanche OF
credible reports come in from the
country at large telling of impending
republican victories.
Republicans Claim Senate.
The republicans, for their part. are
senatorial outlook. Wisconsin is the
only state where the regular ticket
seems to be in trouble. The repub-
icanS expect to gain one seat in Cali
fornia and one in Colorado. Then, II
they don't lose anything, they will
have the Senate safely. But the talk
of a possible republican majority Of
eight or ten does not go very well
with the best posted Of the republican
managers.
IN Cnc state OF new 1OTb Tic oHiy
doubtful question is whether the
Harding landslide will be so terrific
as to overwhelm the democratic
candidate for governor. present Gov.
Smith.
If the vote on the presidential
ticket should be close between the
parties Gov. Smith would almost sure
ly be reelected. He will get a tre-
mendous number of republican votes,
but the tendency has appeared to be
in the past few days to vote the
straight ticket, and that operates to
his disadvantage.
MudslinginE Brings Bitterness.
This disposition has been increased
recently by the bitterness and mud
singing of the campaign. inducing
men to discard the kindly impulses
stirring their hearts and set their
faces sternly toward strict adherence
to party fealty.
No doubt tho same feeling of over
powering disgust over the mudsling-
ing in the two parties is discernible
in Washington and wherever red
blooded people have their being, but
it is almost hysterical here. You can

OlDTIME ENTHUSIASM
MARKS CAMPAIGN END
Mystery as to the Tide of Woman
Vote Reflected in Eleventh.
Hour Talk.

CHICAGO, November claims and
counter-claims. with flashes of old
time political enthusiasm, marked the
conclusion Of the campaign in the
states of the central west today.
Mystery as to the tide of the tre-
mendous woman vote was reflected in
many eleventh-hour discussions Of
the general situation. 1t was stated
on all sides that the woman vote, to-
gether with expected ticket scratch
ing in numerous districts, very likely
would delay returns and create uncer-
tainty where contests were close.
Reports from the various states in
dicated that in practically all dis
tricts unusual steps have been taken
to guard against fraud and to curb
quickly any attempts to intimidate
woman voters. In many instances the
usual number of workers and watch
ers will be doubled or tripled.
Last minute appeals to voters were
made by managers of the three prin-
cipal gubernatorial candidates in Illi-
nois, where a campaign of bitter
turn has been in progress. II will be
elected by a vote in excess of 50,000,''
said former Senator James Hamilton
Lewis, democratic candidate for gov
ernor. Managers of Len Small. who
has the support of Mayor Thompson
Of Chicago in his fight for election on
the republican ticket. claimed victory
for him over Lewis by 250,000.

, hear men cursing right out loud" In
the cars and on the streets as they
denounce the filthy tactics.
We miss one familiar old feature OF
former elections in New York. Neither
side has thus far charged the other
with trying to buy" the election,
nor preparing on wholesale scale to
steal 1t. I cannot recall campaign
of recent years here when there
wasn't a great howl a day or two be-
fore election about one of the oppos-
ing parties getting ready to buy or
steal the result. It is suggested that
possibly the falling fiat of the Cox
slush fund charges at the opening OF
the campaign may have discouraged
similar charges.
League Absorbs Interest.
There is tremendous interest in the
league of nations here. and there is
no doubt the issue will cut a great
figure in the result. Efforts of the re-
publicanS to get the voters excited
over war extravagances have not met
American habit of writing old debts
off the books and going at something
else.
The New York local tickets, of
course. are Of more concern to the
rank and file Of the voters than are
the presidential tickets. and the most
Of the local enthusiasm has been
aroused over these smaller candidates.
At the two national headquarters to-
day work is virtually suspended be-
ycnd making few more claims for
effect tomorrow and taking passing
fling or two at the opportune, hoping
some missile may find a target.
For the chairman and treasurer of
the two committees now comes "the
sad adverse-pay bills" the sorrow
being over the deficit that always oc-
ours. Both parties face a deficit this
year. and somebody will have to pay
for the dead horse"
Town Ready to Celebrate.
The town is getting ready for its
customary celebration of the election.
Hotel rooms are practically impossi-
BILE to obtain, unless they have been
long reserved. Every restaurant and
cafe has reserved it's tables for the
night, for the election returns, and
the regular boarders will have to go
dinnerless tomorrow night or hand
over a substantial tip for the privi-
lege of having a seat and paying two
prices for food. Washington is going
to look good along about Wednesday
night to lot of travel-wearied
ginks and officials of the two national
committees drawn from the capital.
