cation vanished. The contest is now
IN Ohio, with the chances largely
Iavoring Senator Warren C. Hard
ing rs Ohio is in presidential olec-
ton normal Republican State.
The ticket completed, nothing remain
ed to be done, but to prepare for the
greatest political battle in the his
tory Of this country. Hon. William
J. Bryan waas down-cast and down
hearted as result of the failure to
secure a dry plank in the Democratic
platform and he is. not altogether
satisfied with Governor Cox as a
candidate on that issue. The indi-
cations are that the breaches made
at San Francisco where Senator
Reed, who was unanimously elected

Chester Ell. Rowell Tells
Why He Is Backing Cox

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. "a Chester
II. Rowell, former Republican state
chairman and member four years ago
of the Republican National Campaig gn
Committee, in a letter to Senator Key
Plttman, of Nevada, made public to-
day, said that although he was still
Republican he supports Cox because
lit is still uncertain which group of
leaders will intimidate" Harding after
his election.
"The irreconcilable opponents of the
league are intimidating him now" the
letter said ~ would rather support a
President. If Cox is elected the treaty
will be resubmitted to the Senate, and
he will seek agreement on any reason
able and sincere basis. If Harding is
elected he will have to violate one-half
of his pronouncements and fight the
very men he is afraid TO fight now
Il disagree with my Republican pro-
league friends who argue that the cleo
tion of Cox would continue the present
deadlock, while the election of Harding
would reopen negotiations. The cleo
ton of Cox would reopen the question
automatically on basis promising
actual agreement. The election of Har-
ding could reopen it only if some one
would then supply him with logic and
courage which he so notoriously lacks.
If he is elected l will give my support
to those who are trying to furnish that
courage, but | cannot take the respon-
sibility of contributing even my per
sonal vote to his election"

White Makes Another
Cox Victory Prediction
Declines to Name States, as He
Says This Might Forewarn
Republican Campaigners

George White, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, yas-
terday issued another statement claim
ing the election for Cox and Roosevelt.
In his latest victory statement Chair
man White said:
II have been making a detailed in
vcstigation of conditions in the various
states. I realize that the customary
act of a national chairman at this
stage of the fight is to claim every
thing in the hope that he can persuade
wavering voters to line up with his
side. Mr.. Hays, my antagonist. has
given me several public lessons in this
obsolete practice lately by claiming
everything except a part of the South
crn states.
Nevertheless. ! am prepared to
make a fair and honest statement of
the situation. shall reserve the
names of the states we will carry be-
cause the public would not expect me
to acquaint the Republican managers
with our campaign plans. But | do
say this:
"Govcrnor Cox and Mr.. Roosevelt
will have 222 electoral votes east Of
the Missouri River and thirty four
west Of the Missouri River, total of
256 as good as counted. This is with
in ten Of the number necessary to
elect. The Republicans have l64 which
regard as good as counted for them
This leaves Ill votes in contest. In
the decided swing now in progress
toward the Democratic ticket we will
carry the majority of this Ill, a very
cOmfOrta bic victory indeed "
