whittier all tbird-party movements
IN American national politics have
been condemned.
Dudley Field Malone, one-time
WIsonian collector of the port Of
New York, whom Christensen de-
teated for the Presidential nomina-
tion, would have, 1t is thought, cost
tne Democrats good many votes in
new YORK, though hardly enough to
ehdanger such chances as they have
for winning the Empire State for
COX. Both Republican and Demo-
cratic managers profess themselves
thoroughly satisfied with what they
consider the wholly innocuous STAN
dard-bearership Of Christensen.
Prepare Cox Reception.
Arrangements for the reception of
Gov. Cox in Washington Saturday
afternoon are in lively progress. He
Will arrive from Ohio about 1:3o
O'Clock and proceed to the suburban
home of Mr.. and Mrs Timothy T.
Ansberry. formerly of the Ohio
state bench. where the governor,
MRS. Cox and 7-months- old Miss Cox
VIII be guests during their thirty
SIX hour sotourn at the Capital. Ev-
cry EFFORT will be made to make the
Democratic Presidential nominees
arrival at least as impressive as
senator Harding's welcome to
washington after the Chicago con-
vention.
Beyond his audience at the White
House with President Wilson, which
Is Professionally fixed for 1880
O'Clock Sunday morning. Gov. Cox's
program in Washington is without
dennite engagements. AS now ar
ranged. he and Franklin D. Roose-

.ously. MIR. Roosevelt is due to

Secretary Tumulty said last nipht
that was not yet determined.
The pow-wow between woodrovv
wilson and the new standard bear
er OF the Democratic party is AL
ready heralded as love-feast. The
resident and Gov. Cox are describ-
ed as thoroughly in accord" upon
all vital issues involved in the 1920
campaign. The prediction is haz-
arded that. in token Of the stirring
I speeches which the President would
! otherwise deliver on the Democratic
candidates behalf. he will from
tlme to time issue telling blasts
! from the White House in the form
OF letters, kilograms or other MAY
l-not encyclicals. which will have
all the fre and force of utterances
delivered from the stump. Demo-
cratic leaders brand as enemy
propaganda" advance attempts TO
depict the Sunday conference as
evidence that Wilson and Cox have
grave differences to iron out, which
may not prove capable of reconcile
alton. 1t is affirmed that President
: and nominee have never been ar
loggerheads, and that SUNDAYS
events will only cement their re-
clprocal friendship and loyalty.

Bryan and Cox bidding each other
