The senator declared. that for the
first time in our lives the Demo
cratic administration taught us
what repression and suppression
we're, that free speech had been
threatened and a free press endan-
gered.
The senator then attacked the
administration on the League OF

Under the specious guise OF
League Of Nations to promote peace
and prevent war, we were to be In
extricably bound hereafter to every
future world war;" he continued.
Upon the League Of Nations the
issue is clean cut. The language
OF the two candidates is plain and
unambiguous. Mr. Cox says that
if he is successful. he will go
in. Our candidate says he will stay
out. Mr.. Harding, happily for him
self and for America, has scrapped
the league"

Afirms That Republican

cratic nominee for ehe presidency
Afforded, not merely an opportunity
to estimate the warmth and en-
thusiasm OF the crowds. but be-
tween stations Governor Cox talk
ed freely to the writer about the
status OF his campaign.
Complains Of Press.
The Ohio governor is most dis
turbed by what seems to him, at
any rate, an unfair attitude oh the
part Of many Of the newspapers Of
the west. He said he didn't expect
Republican newspapers to COM
mend his speeches editorially, or to
hand him bouquets. but he did ex-
pect q SQUARE deal. Again and
again he declared the newspapers
In some Of The large cities on the
coast had deliberately suppressed
the news Of his speeches.
In one instance the newspapers
failed to announce correcuy the
time Of the governors arrival or
to give any prominence when, he
came into their vicinity. Also the
governor was advised, that one
large newspaper never published
his speech Of acceptance.
The governor said that he did
not expect the newspapers to print
partisan reports in his favor, but
he had believed they would 1T least
give space to the dispatches Of the
Associated Press and other press
associations.
DangerouS Tendency.
Il. %The most sinister thing / have
observed on my western trip" he
said. was the rebelltous attitude
Of the people whenever make any
reference In any speech. to the
press. Can 1t be that the people
are losing confidence in the press
Of the country? AS q newspaper
publisher, ! think it hurts our pro-
fession. and as an American,
think It is q dangerous tendency.
For the people Of the country ex-
pect the press to be fair and to
give both parties a square deal.
That is the only safe way to re-
tain confidence in our institu-
tions." N {
The governor having been ad-
vised by local leaders that very
little about his campaign in other
states had been published in coast
cities. has made it . point to re-
peat man. parts Of preceding
speeches.

Blaze.
(By STAFF Correspondent J


Aledo, ILL.,, Sept. 21,-Fire, the
arigins Of which is thought to have
been in rubbish heap at the ives,
end Of a poultry barn at the Mercer
county fair grounds, yesterday de-
stroyed thousands Of dollars worth
of fair buildings, including hog
barns and cattle and poultry sheds
besides a number Of dining halls
and 80 head of sheep and one prize
winning hog.
The financial loss from the fire
burned out within two hours, was
estimated at about $4,000 with the
loss of the livestock. The fair as
sociation faces a loss within the
buildings of about $4,000, as re-
ported by Secretary E. C. McFar-
land. The loss of the sheep. which
were owned by M. T. Warwick, will
approximate $4,000. The hog, Pan
ma Orion, The King, a prize win
ming 3-year-old Duroc boar, owned
by l. F. Gillmor, is placed at about
$500.
Flames Spread Fast.
Witnesses Of the fire state that
when first discovered, it had hardly
gotten a good start, but with the
long draft through the buildings
and the high wind, which was blow
ing from the southwest, the flames
were famed through the struc-
lures at great speed. Floral hall
in the center OF the grounds, and
the Administration building. direct
ly east df Floral hall, together with
a long string of horse barns north
Of these buildings, were saved
through the efficient work Of the
Aledo fire department. The alarm
sounded at about 1:45-2:00 o'clock
and a run Of almost two miles was
necessary to reach the grounds.
The fire fighters arrived on the
scene too late to save the buildings
which were in flames, but they
managed to put out small blazes or
the roof of the Floral hall. All thu
buildings were dry as tinder and 81
constructed that q draft Of grea1
proportion swept through them.
City Water Great Aidp

guishers and city water on the fail
grounds is responsible for the saw

not burned. The horse barns arr

With the loss of his herd o

the friendship between Senator Knox
and Senator Hiram Johnson OF Cali

to Senator Knox's availability.
CLOSE observers" said Gov. Sproul.
are of the opinion that much Of the
unexpected strength shown by Sena-

II have always found ninety-five per
cent of them on the square. I have
had a great deal to do with strikes.
but never had to hurt single man.
l am not telling these things to
please you, but because I have found
that there has been lot Of lying
being done about me-to use plain
English. / have found that as soon
as i got hold of the men and had
straight talk with them they had
good grievance in nearly all strikes.
and my advice to them always has
been to play the game square. obey
the law and state their grievances to
the public. At Gary. Ind, things
