Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. 20
Governor Cox today sent telegram
to Elihu Root asking him to Cor
rect" what the democratic candi-
date declared was a false" state
ment in Mr.. Roots address yeSter-
day regarding the governors posi-
ton upon the league of nations
issue. The governor denied Mr..
Roots statement tha' he demands
the league Just as Mr.. Wilson ne
gotiated it," and called upon Mr..
Root for retractiop.
In making public this telegram
to Mr.. Root. Governor Cox issued
4 statement declaring that Mr.. Root
and thirty other prominent repub-
liCans signing the recent statement
in behalf of Senator Harding, were
attempting to deceive the voters
because they are permitting their
Iartisanship to rise above their
patriotism and trusting perhaps
that the last wobble of Senator
Harding may he in their direction
FavOrs "Helpful" Changes.
Governor Cox restated his pro-
posal to accept any reservations
helpful to the league and con-
tended, therefore, that Mr.. Root
had made statement which the
records show is false"
The governors telegram follows:
"Elihu Root. New York City:
II have before me a quotation
from your address on the league of
nations delivered In New York Oc-
tober 1S which reads;
"'Mr. Cox declared that he will
insist upon the treaty just as Mr.
Wilson negotiated it,

that you may have fallen into erorr

G.. q. T.. Attitude on Women.
In an article printed in the Jour
nal yesterday the refusal of the
republican maiorities in the lcGis-
laturcs to pass either child labor
law or law relative to women in
industry was pointed out Future
articles will deal with moral qucs-
tions IN which women have always
had vital interest and also with
the efforts of various groups TO
secure cleaner politics. In this
article an effort will he made to
point out the attitude of the re-
publican maiorities in the bouse
and senate (and every legislature
since statehood has been controlled
by the republican party) toward
legislation pertaining exclusively
to women.
In the session of 1912 Senator
Barth. democrat, introduced Senate
Bill SO. granting equal property
rights to women. 1T failed to pass,
In 1915 he introduced $. +. IA,
granting women equal rights in
community property and also 5. Il.
20, allowing a wife to dispose by
will of her share of community
property. AT that same session
Senate Joint Resolution No. 2 was
introduced, proposing an amend
ment to the state constitution ex-
tending suffrage to women. Tie
bills and resolutions were never
allowed out of committee. thus pre-
venting a roll call being taken
which would show the feelings of
the members.
The house was more receptive.
House Joint Resolution No. 2S, to
extend suffrage to women, received
a favorable report by the judiciary
