the break to occur between Cox and Will son." argued the republicans.
 They saw the two men encounter each other. Cox. with his jovial grin, ex- claimed; Why, hello. Hitchie." And the two conferred regarding the league. Aft
 erwards Hitchcock told the newspaper men that he was perfectly satisfied with
 Governor Coxs views regarding the
 league.
 And second republican hope went into the discards WILSON MORE THAN PLEASED And the President, judging from the feeling which he permitted to creep into his statement, was more pleased with Cox even than was Hitchcock. The Pres ident declared simply that he would give his entire support to the new standard bearer, and declared that in Cox's support noteonly the party, but the nation, would be united.
 And the republicans say that Cox yield ed to the President. But Cox did not. There was no difference between them.
 The reservations favored by Cox are not nullifying. And yet in that they inform 1 the world that the United States will not i engage in any war-lke preparation with
 out the authority of Congress, they are sufficiently American and sufficiently protective of American institutions to please any man unless he be a blinded | partisan who cares not to see. | So it is to the"boy orator of the Platte that the republicans turn in
 their efforts fo find a democratic trouble
 maker. They are not satisfied that his heart is in the grave, or that he per
 mits his golden voice to remain silent. They want him to take the stump either 1 for Harding or in half-hearted, dam ming way for Cox. They could use him et- fectively in certain radical centers of the west.

WERE CERTAIN OF SPLIT

Prior to the coming to Washington of Governor Cox, the reporters sent repeat
 ed messages from Marion, all of which were unquestionably inspired, to the eff feet that the republicans were certain
 that Cox would meet a Waterloo as soon as he tackled the President.
 The reporters quoted 'Wi.e" politi- clans to the effect that inasmuch as Gov ernor Cox, without awaiting an interview with the President, had set forth reser- vations to the League of Nations, the
 President could not possibly give him enthusiastic or any other variety of sup port save that whicn might be conveyed through melancholy silence.
 And secondly, they argued. the prohi-
 bitionists of the country could not sup port Cox because he was not one of them. because in his various races in Ohio he had stood for local option against those desirous of depriving the individual citi- zen of his personal liberty, and because quite recently he had declared that the
 prohibition issue was one to be deter mined this fall in the congressional cleo tions-a statement which permitted the belief that Cox, if elected President,
 would abide by any decision of Congress respecting the proposed amendment of the VolStead act

 Washington Bureau The Age. Herald


 Washington. July 2O.-(Special)-It is on William Jennings Bryan that the re- puolicans put their last hope. If the Ne braskan simply sulks in his tent, or like Achilles dons skirts and dwells among the women, the masters of the grand old party organization will despair of any help emanating to them from democratic ranks.
 In the result of the visit to Washington Of Governor Cox and his running mate, Franklin D. Roosevelt, regarding whom w. R. Hearst exclaims 'He is possessed of an immature exuberance," the repub- licans are sorely disappointed. Senator Penrose is bitter to the extent of saying: All is not as well as it appears on the surface to be-" Senator Harding says nothing, but that he had hope of break between Cox and President Wilson is unquestioned in view of the dispatches sent east by correspondents placed in Marion to observe and report his every move and speculation.
 But the visit, if it had any result. sim

MIR. SHEPPARD'S VIEW

And as Cox came to Washington, Hard ing and his friends listened for the echo of conflict which confidently they ex- pected.
 Their first disappointment followed the meeting between Cox and Senator Shep- pard of Texas. author of the eighteenth amendment. The two discussed the topic for half an hour. Then Sheppard came forth his face wreathed in smiles He had not secured the man of his choice when the convention named Cox, but now he was convinced that Cox was a real man, and an American-tolerant and patient.
 q am for Cox whole-souled." was the
 way Sheppard put it. My state, Texas,
 is a doubtful state-that is, as to whether
 the democratic majority will be 100000 or
 25O O00."
 And then Senator Hitchcock, the Pres
 ident's spokesman regarding the league | in the Senate, approached Cox.
