A medium sized man, clad in a gray
business suit, was hailed today as he
stepped from the curb.

Gov. Cox greeted the big man by his
first name. shook hands and then went
on his way to the Columbus Club for
luncheon.
This is typical of the democratic
nominee for President. He goes about
the streets of Columbus or Dayton
alone, without the slightest ostenta-
tion, just as any other citizen. When
he travels he travels in the same way.
He is easy of access, whether 1t be in
his own newspaper office in Dayton or
in the governors Office at Columbus

Intense interest prevails in military
circles over many important Army ap-

Recommendations for many of the
most pressing Of these appointments
have been made by Army boards pre-

MARION, Ohio, July 14.-Denying
himself to all visitors this morning,
Senator Harding put lin a busy day on
his acceptance speech. He expects to
have it ready by the end of this
week. Before going to the executive
offices. he visited. his newspaper, the

to thank the man and wish him every
success in the future.
In view Of the stateent here last
night by Senator Harding, accepting the
challenge of the democratic nominees
for President and Vice President, to
make the league of nations the big issue
Of the Campaign. the question was raised
today as to whether the republicans
would attempt to carry the country on
the same plea which won for Wilson in
1916-"keeping US out of war"
Senator Harding's statement asserted
that il the democrats win ond the treaty
and the league are ratified as desired by
the administration, it will mean that
American boys will be sent abroad to
take part in the twenty odd wars now
raging throughout the world in spite of
the league.
This argument against the league has
been used frequently by its opponents.

NEW SCHOOL HEAD
DISCUSSES DUTIES
BEFORE CITY CLUB
Believes Law Gives Him Pow
ers in Keeping With Re-
sponsibiIities.

Il want to state very frankly that
my administration of the schools Of
Washington will be strictly in ac-
cor1lance with the law, and that in
the discharge of my duties and re-
sponsibilities shall be guided by
its provisions concerning my oficial
position. I am, absolutely free to
discharge the functions imposed upon
the superintendent OF schools by the
law. 1 shall undertake to do so with
malice toward none and with justice
for all"
With this statement. DIR. Frank w.
Ballou, newly appointed superintend-
ent of schools in the District of
Columbia, outlined his administrative
policy to members of the City Club
this afternoon at the weekly luncheon
forum of the organization.
DR.. Ballou said he knows of no bet
ter city in the country where the
functions of the superintendent of
public schools are better described
than they are in the statute of 1906.
Assumes Large Responsibilities.
That statute clearly makes the su'
perintendent of schools the executive
officer of the board of education" he
said. "and gives him for the most
part powers commensurate with the
large responsibilities which he is ex-
pected by the public to assume.
Because the duties and response
bilitieS of the superintendent are SO
clearly defined in the law, the posi-
ton Of superintendent of schools in
Washington presents to any well
qualified man real educational op-
portunity.
There is another important con-
sideration which prompted my favor
III Il
tinued. I'm the discussion with in
dividual members of the board, and
with the nominating committee. no
member of the board undertook to i'm
pose any conditions upon my accept
ance of the position. The board dis
cusSed the situation frankly and
freely. They asked some of the citi-
zens of Washington to describe to me
in detail the local situation in order
that l might be fully informed before
reaching decision.
Acceptance Unrestrained.
IT came to Washington, therefore.
without any feeling of restraint and
subject to no understandings or condi-
tions imposed as part of my ac-
ceptance of the position.
This is not the appropriate time to
deliver lecture on the general prin-
ciples of school administration. for
which stand. 1 have just finished
Of lecturing At the University of
Pittsburgh. On the other hand, you
will scarcely expect me to be pre-
pared to indicate the strength and
weaknesses of the public school sys-
tenn of Washington after so short an
acquaintance With it. Rather 1 have
assumed that you desire to become
acquainted with the new superin-
tendent of schools. I have accepted
your invitation with real pleasure, be-
cause i desire also to become ao-
quainted as rapidly as possible with
the citizens of Washington.
Il have, thought perhaps I would
tell you why 1 accepted the position
Of superintendent of schools of WASH
ington. In. further consideration of
this. 1 reached the conclusion that
that would be an inappropriate topic
to discuss because 1 suppose that
those who live in Washington won
der why people are content to live
anywhere else"

BY n. o. MESSENGER.

Candidate Cox, according to the
opinion of republican politicians
here. will find himself. after his in
interview with President Wilson next
Sunday morning, in the attitude of
the man trying to tote water on
both shoulders" At least, the repub-
licans propose to do their level best
to place him in that fix.
1t falls out this way, they explain:
President Wilson Is expected TO DEF
mand that the standard bearer OF
the democratic. party shall adheTe 100
per. cent to the present administras
tion's stand on the leagte OF nations,
which means, Of course, ratfficatton
of the treaty without any American
fzing reservations whatever
Gov.sCox and the men who are work
ing with him are inclined to pretty lib
.eral reservations, and realize the adj
vantage the republicans possess In
their platform stand for Americanism.
The Cox political managers do not want
to tie up hard and fast, with the ex-
treme administration position on the
league. Yet it is vital that there
ministration and the new standard
bearer on this score. -
Republican Vision.
What is the governor going to do
about it?" the republicans were inquir-
ing today. They vision a very inter-
estipg session between the fiery, i'm
petuous young Ohioan and the deter
mined, not to say stubborn. President
Wilson.
If the candidate can succeed in bal
ancing those two buckets of water on
his shoulders, it will be good job, and
they will be surprised. If he doesn't,
whichever way he moves will be pleas
ing to the republicans, they say.
If he yields to the presidential pres
sure, comes under the magnetic sway
of the executive who has bent his
party in the Senate to his will, it will
suit them best, because the more he
approaches 100 per cent adherence to
the Presidents position on the league
the stronger their own issue becomes,
they contend. If, however. he decides
to play his own hand they will con-
strue it as in a measure recognition OF

the republican demand for American
iZing reservations; a partial conces-
sion to the republican position.
Republican politicians attach i'm
portance to the disclosures of the edi-
torials in Gov. Cox's newspaper prior
to the entrance of the United States
into the war. It will be their plan, it
is said, to tack those expressions of
a lack of appreciation of the American
issues involved to the general demo-
ism.
The republican charge will be that
it is all one piece with what they al
flege to be the weatnesa at the demo-
cratic stand on Americanism as
against internationalism 49,
DeAocratle Expeetatfon.
y Denh6efatie poiit Helms are known to
be counting upon the country, later
on, losing interest In this phase of the
campaign and taking paramount in
terest in other aspects of the fight.
The men who are most active in the
Cox group of democrats have the least
concern over the league of nations
issue and believe they can fire the
country with other questions caleu-
more vital. They may seem more
vital to the rank and file of the
voters, however, and that will be an
swer sufficient for the practical poll
ticians. =,
Democratic leaders are very much
concerted: over. the delay in getting
their party machinery in action.
Nothing can be started until the can
didate has had his talk with the
President. has hastened back to Ohio,
conferred with the democratic ma
tfonal committee and set up the party
machinery.
1t has not been determined whether
Chairman Cummings of the, national
committee will conduct the campaign.
or whether it will be turned over to
a chairman of the candidates choos-
ing. Mr.. Cummings is known to be
willing to carry on, but not anxious,
and certainly agreeable to any change
the candidate may desire.
The republicans. meanwhile, have
secured a good running start. There
was not even a shifting of gears in
their machinery, for the machine has
been going for more than a year
past The democrats have laid good
foundations, which will suffice unless
Candidate Cox decides to dig them up
and start in new set of workmen.
