Cox's Running Mate Declares
Much the Same Issues at
Stake in State and Nation:
Assails Root as Sophist

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Oct. q. -
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in an address
here tonight, which closed a days
campaign through the southern Ter
counties Of the state, pleaded for the
reelection of Governor Smith and the
election Of Lieutenant Governor Harry
c. Walker as United States Senator. It
was mis- first long, direct plea for local
candidates in this campaign.
Very much the same principles are
at stake IN the New York State ticket

The people must decide between reac-
tlonary and progressive candidates."
Il have come back from the West"
he continued, with a deep-seated be-
lef that the West and Middle West
have started an overwhelming swing Of
the pendulum. The prospects Of Gov
ernor Cox carrying q majority Of the
Western and Middle Western states
are growing by leaps and bounds. Up
state New CORK Is beginning to fall in
line"
In an address at Elmira Mr.. Roose-
Welt said that Elihu Roots position on
the League of Nations issue, as set
forth IN his recent speech and reply to
Governor Cox, "is that OF sophist."
american voters everywhere,' he
said, are heartily sick of the con-
tlnued discussion by men like Mr.. Root
OF the details Of words and phrases in
connection with the covenant of the
League of Nations.
THE average voter knows that there
IS great difference of opinion among
experts as to the exact amount of the
obligation by which the United States
Congress would be bound in case we
entered the league without any reserva-
tions or amendments. The average
man and woman will accept Mr.. Cox's
declaration that he wants it made clear
before we 90 in that our constitutional
and Congressional rights shall remain
Just what they are to-day.
'In view of the simple, plain Eng
lish statement of broad purpose, such
as the above, any argument like that of

mar and rhetoric should cease and give
way to old fashioned American com

Bets Of to that Senator Harding
would win the Presidential election,
found few takers yesterday. In the
Wall Street district. where many brol1-
ers hitherto have reaped a harvest in
placing election bets On a commission
basis, it was said that hackers Of Gev-
ernor Cox were demanding odds Of 7
to and even 2 to /. Even when al
lowed these margins, they said little
if any Cox money was in evidence.
A report that Chicago book makers
were placing bets favoring Harding
on TO basis caused amusement
The story was generally doubted; it
being pointed out that one Wall Street
firm had tried in vain for a week to
wager 100000 against $4,000 on the
Senator
Lively betting continued, however,
on the probability Of either candidate
carrying certain states. Even terms
were offered and accepted quickly that
the Republican nominee would carry

HOME SERVICE FOR
EVERYBODY IN NEED

Do you know what the present day
Home Service of the American Red
Cross is?
Many people do not know that. be-
sides completing the work for ex-serv-
Ice men, especially the disabled, it pro-
vides the same neighborly service to
families in general that it formerly
gave families Of soldiers, sailors and
marines.
Home Service covers a wide and
varied field" says Frederick @. Mum
roe, general manager Of the American
Red Cross. ut gives aid to families
in solving such problems as budget
planning, marketing, tiding over times
of financial stress, keeping children in
school, helping crippled children, wild
owed and deserted mothers, children
backward in school and children in
conflict with the laws. 1t renders serv-
ice to the homeless and transient, to
the illiterate, to tenement dwellers, to
the unemployed, and gives friendly as
sistance and advice to foreign speak
ing groups"
In addition to helping families in
the solution Of their own problems,
Home Service helps in strengthening
the weak spots in the social life Of
communities. 1t joins hands with 9th
ers to make communities safer,
healthier and happier.
Organizing action along lines in
which the community is already inter-
ested is one of the objects of Home
Service 1t has established community
meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag-
eants and picnics. Rest rooms, recre-
alton facilities, play supervisors and
moving pictures have been provided.
Through Home Service other agencies
are influenced to bring about improved
commercial amusements and better
school facilities and to promote travel
ing libraries as we'll as to secure coun-
ty agricultural and home demOnstra-
tion agents.
If you need assistance at any time,
go to the secretary of the nearest Red
Cross chapter and describe the situa-
ton. Your confidence will be sacredy
respected and every possible effort will
be made to aid you.
