UNFAIR T0COX
News of Meetings Suppressed.
Nominee Disturbed at Fail
ure of Square Dali.
(5y DAVID LAWRENCE,

On Board Gov. Cox's Train, South
California, Sept. 2l.-(Copyrght for
The Chattanooga News) - Riding
through the state OF California for a
day with the Democratic nominee for
the presidency afforded, not merely an
opportunity to estimate the warmth and
enthusiasm of the crowds. but between
stations Gov. Cox talked frankly to the
writer ABOUT the status of his cam
paign.
The Ohio governor is most disturbed
by what seems to him, at any rate an
unfair attitude on the part of many or
the newspapers of the west. He said
he didn't expect republican newspapers
to commend his speeches editorially, or
to hand him bouquets, but he did ex~
pect square deal. Again and again he
declared the newspapers in some of the
large cities on coast had deliberately
suppressed the news of his speeches.
In one instance the newspaper failed
10 announce correctly the time of the
governor arrival or to give any promi-
nence when he came into their vicinity.
Also the governor was advised that
only one large newspaper published his
speech Of acceptance.
The governor said that he did not ex-
pect the newspapers to print partisan
reports in his favor, but he had be.
lieved they would at least give space
to the dispatches OF the Associated
Press associations.
Sinister Thing Observed.

day and the people evidently didn't ex-
pect any, folks came out In large num-
bers TO greet the democratic nominee.
Republicans Are Confident,
California is hardly considered a
doubtful state this year by republicans.
many Of whom insist that the majority
for harding will not be less than 100000
but while some OF the democrats are
inclined to agree with that estimate to-
day, they decline to admit IL VIII be
the final decision of tho state.
California can turn itself upside down
In week and the splendid impression
made by Gov. Cox Ell route through
California has raised the hope OF the
friends that the tide has begun to turn.
The enthusiastic welcome for Gov.
Cox in San Francisco by the business
men, and at Oakland by a crowd that
was plainly In sympathy has stimulated
the hopes of even those democrats who
were inclined to despair of the out
come before Gov. Cox got here.
johnson Men For Cox.
Followers OF Hiram Johnson are
friendly to Gov. Cox. They see in the
Ohio governor points of similarity to
that Senator Johnson win conflne
his disagreement with Gov. Cox chiefly
to the league of nations, as he Is said
to feel keen admiration for the pro-
gressive record of the Ohio governor
Several johnson men told the writer
made by Senator johnson against the
league of nations as an issue in this
state, Gov. Cox would carry California
easily.
Certainly the rank and file Of John
son supporters are leaning to Cox, and
some openly criticize Senator Harding.
How much of this Is due to disappoint-
ment over the failure OF the republic
can party to select johnson as stand
ard bearer, and how much 1t reflects
a friendly feeling toward a progressive
Is hard to say.
Big Vote Expected.
Certainly as one travels about the
state. observers point to the large re-
and say that there win be big vote
in the senatorial contest, but that a
surprising number of people win not
vote for either Cox or Harding. Evi-
dence of sullenness In this state is
not lacking. The people who helped
johnson win the primary vote for the
presidential nomination are deeply hurt
that the verdict was ignored and Gov
Cox pours oil on the troubled waters
not only by emphasizing that Senator
Harding didn't carry any primaries
outside of his own state. but that ir
Senator johnson had entered the Ohio
primary he would have captured the
states vote.
Northern California with its anti
league OF nations sentiment among the
seems to be at the presest moment In
cllned toward the republican nominee
This state, however. had everybody
guessing four years ago and shows
some of the same symptoms of unccr-
tainty this year.
