COX PLEDGES AID
To SUFFRACISTS

PARTY UNITED, SAYS HARDING
Republican Nominee Says He Appre-
ciates Progressive Support and
Fears no Third Party.

Columbus, o., July II. - Governor
Cox promised delegation Of the Ma
ional Woman'S party that he will give
all his possible time. influence and.
strength toward procuring ratification
Of tie suffrage amendment by Tennes-
see. He also advised them fo anuoint
committee To confer with htla on
plan of action.
The lJ"m"rratic nominee will not

cided To Leave Columbus on Il later
train than had been originally plan
Ted, throwing his arrival in Washing
ton several hours later.
Plans were being developed bv the
Columbus chamber of commerce TO
entertain members of the Democratic
national committees who will meet here
next Tuesday. Mrs. Cox, wife Of the
presidential nominee, expects to en-
terrain the committeeman and their
families ut the governors mansion
either Monday or Tuesday evening.
Messages commencing the governor
on his stand taken in the matter OF
replying to statements issued by Sena-
tor Harding continue to arrive. Among
the message received were those

convention manag ger. and Wilbur w.

make certain it touches cOmprehen-
Siyely on all the important Issues and
lays a broad basis for the party's
fight for popular support.

were made public at Senator Hard
.ng's headquarters. His managers de-
clared those who left the Republican
party in 1912 were lining up solidly
for Harding and Coolidge.
one telegram was from. Paul A.
Ewert. Joplin, Mo, a leader of the
Progressive party in the southwest,
who said that although inclined to be
a Johnson man" he was heart and
soul for the ticket as nominated" An
other was from Frank T. Ellison, Ro-
chester, y. Y, transmitting the decis-
lon of a meeting of ProgresSives there
to work for Harding.
Senator Harding said he had given
10 cause for otfense to the memorial
committee of the American Legion,
which has been reported as resenting
his cancellation of a tentative speak
ing date at Memorial Park in ST.
Louis. July %. The invitation, the
candidate said, had appealed to him
strongly and he had accepted tenta-
lively only to find later the date fell
between his speech of acceptance and
that of Governor Coolidge, the vice
presidential nominee. Certain cOur-
tesies which always had to be obsery-
ed in such matters, he declared, had
made it inadviSable he speak any
where during that period.
Taking public notice for the first
time of the third party convention al
Chicago, the candidate indicated the
outcome would in no way affect his
campaign plans.
He expressed qualification that Sen
atOr Lafollette had declined to be the
candidate of the third party and add
ed that he believed few Republicans
are interested in the third party
movement"
Mr.. Harding then said: '"The Re
publican party this year represents nj
one faction within party, no spe
rial interest or particular group with
n our voting citizenship. Rather i
aalls upon all Americans, who love
America; who believe in sound pro
gress and real development, to sup
