WICHITA. Kan, Sept. 30.-Carrie Ma

such pitch on prohibition AS did Gov.
Cox to-day in his swing through Kan
sas. Everywhere the Democratic Presi-
Dental nominee spoke. particularly in
Hutchinson and Newton and at Wichita
tonight in what seemed more like
open forums than campaign rallies, he
was bombarded by questions regarding
his stand on the liquor issue in compare
son with that of his Republican oppo-
rent, Senator Harding.
In the role of q crusader appealing
to the church folk to support him as the
exponent of everlasting peace, Gov. Cox
took a more direct stand than ever be-
fore. lie dwelt on the subject at every
meeting. He came out with fiat footed
approval CT Senator Harding's course in
voting for the submission of the E.2h-
teenth Amendment to the States and

At the same time he undertook to cut
loose from his candidacy some of the
burden of the Wilson Administration,
refusing. when questioned to defend
President Wilson'S veto of the Volstead
law.

Gov. Cox further declared his oppo-

position with 4 declaration by Senator
Harding that American interests should
