40 miles south of St. Louis. follow
ing the burning there yesterday of
the home of Will Morrison. negro
mine employe, who was forced to

work with Morrison in shaft
where all but two of the miners
were white, and the consequent
discharge of cage operator who re-
fused to carry Morrison into the
mine, it is said. The latter Incl

By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Wheeling. w. Va. Aug. 17.-Gov-
ernor Cox's first effort outside his
own state was perhaps character
istic Of his whole. campaign-it was
uphill. The first audience-the
Democratic state convention of
West Virginia-can be dismissed
without much comment.
The partisans assembled liked
the speech and the speaker; they
cheered him and came away cheered
over their aggressive leader. The
second audience gathered out doors
at night on the grassy slope that
forms sort of natural bleachers Ut
the river front was made up of
Republicans as we'll as Democrats.
1t was an average crowd. Gov
ernor Cox's voice carried well. He
was close to his audience and talked
a language they fully understood.
1t was a typical Jimmy Cox speech
which means that he told the crowd
they could continue to call him
Jimmy" il he we're elected presi-
dent and that they could forget
about the title of president; that
he wasn't fighting Harding person
ally, whom he respected and ad-
mired, but fighting his record in
public life and the party thai nomi-
mated him at Chicago and that per
formance counted ninety-nine thou
sand times 1aore that promises. .
This theme enabled the governor
to define in elementary terms why
he regarded Harding as q reaction
ary and himself as q progressive.
