candidates as the paramount issue Of
the campaign-will be made one week
from today in front porch speech"
to a visiting delegation of Indiana
Republicans.
The nominee will at this time. IL is
understood, make full reply to the at
tacks from Democratic sources that
the Republicans have not sufficiently
clarified the League atmosphere.
Some time between now and No

will OFFER the voters a definite con-
crete proposal to substitute for the
Wilson League OF Nations an associa-

rope"
No application of the statement
was forthcoming, and some of his
hearers drew from 1t that Root will
be the chief framer of the Republican
substitute.
Only routine conferences were
scheduled for the Senator today. Col.
George Harvey, editor, and one OF the
Wilson Administrations bitterest en-
emies, was among those scheduled to
confer with the candidate.

Cox Renews Attack on Ring"

ORRVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 21.-As-
serting that Senator Harding, in his
recent defense Of the United States
Senate, with characteristic reac-
tionary isolation from public
thought" has failed to distinguish
between an honorable institution and
the arrogant oligarchy which con-
trolls it." Gov. James M. Cox, in a
speech here today, continued his at
tack on "the Senate ring" which, he
charged was responsible for Senator
Harding's selection at Chicago, and
which would dictate to the Repub-
lican candidate should he be elected
to the Presidency.
LAUDs FATHERS WISDOM.
"He completely strips his discussion
of the personal equation and elabor-
ates on the wisdom OF our fathers in
creating two parts to the legislative
branch of Government, the Senate and
the House." said Governor Cox in
speaking of Senator Harding's state
ments in a recent front porch ses-
sion"
We have no quarrel with the Con-
stitution." he continued. What we
are talking about is the group of men
who are attempting to distort the
function of the Senate"
The Governor paid a tribute ito

ment," with the checks and restraints
II imposes. but declared the original
intention was that they should be
exercised in the public welfare and

Governor Roberts has won his fight
for suffrage ratification. but he will
not escape unscathed in the process.
During yesterdays session OF the leg >
islature, Speaker Seth NJ. Walker and
bis hand of forty seven '.irreconcila-
bles," each of whom has sworn never
to give in to suffrage, began taking
vengeance
To the great majority of the specta-
tors the session simply was humdrum
of routine business until the motion
for adjournment produced one thrill.
To Governor Roberts, however, the day
bore a tinge of tragedy. Seven state
legislative bills, in each of which the
governor is particularly interested.
were offered for consideration. Each
was tabled by majority vote. The
governor had thought that they would
have smooth sailing. but on each count
his projects met the opposition OF a
solid block of forty-seven votes.
These, combined with the usual Re-
publican recalcitrants, sealed their
fate.
At the governors office, after the
session, there was plenty of evidence
that the chief was not particularly
pleased with the day.

Hundreds of kilograms congratulate

frage victory in Tennessee have
flooded the White House offices dur

The kilograms are from suffrage
leaders from all parts of the country

the prompt PRONUNCIATION of the ma

The proclamation itself, 1t is said on
good authority is already prepared,

The city lies only twenty-one miles
northwest of Cologne, the British oc-

here with reserve.
Allied observers who have return

BY NEWTON c. PARKE,

PARIS, Aug. 21.-France and
England have conveyed a strong
warning to Poland not to attempt
any further invasion of Russia after
clearing it's own chronological from
tiers of the Bolshevist forces, it was
learned from a reliable source today.
The moment the Poles turn their
present counter-offensive into new
invasion of Russia, the allies will
withdraw their support. This has
been made clear to the Warsaw gov
eminent by both Paris and London.
WILL HEED ALLIES.
In diplomatic circles here It Is
strongly felt that the Poles, mindful
of their bitter experiences after their
first march on Moscow" which
brought them so near disaster, will
heed the allied warning this time.
The warning was conveyed to the
Warsaw government by the allied
missions on their return to the Polish
capital from Posen. Poland was told
in unmistakable terms that Polish
forces must be allowed = cross the
Russian frontier only in Vases where
military strategy makes it impera.

are achieved, the Poles must retire

peat their march on kief, or should

Furthermore. ii was pointed out, a
new Polish invasion of Soviet Russia
would defeat the possibilities of peace
in the east, which are considered to
have been greatly strengthened dur
ing the last few weeks.
The allied missions further made 1t
clear to Poland that If, after the Rus
slams have been driven beyond the
Polish chronological boundaries, the
armistice and peace negotiations at
Minsk are pursued satisfactorily,
General Wrangel, the, anti -Bolshevik
leader in the Crimea, would receive no

for the suffrage victory. She merely
talked in glowing terms of her son,
his achievements and his dreams.
She admitted that without knowing
how he stood on the issue she had
written him a letter at the last min

hoped he would decide to vote for
the amendment.

say afterward that my letter had so

AUTO BANDITS ROB
z BANKS, ESCAPE
Gunmen Cover Cashiers While
Helpers Rifle Safes-Woman
Gives Alarm.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. Aug. 2l.-
Four armed auto bandits held up
and robbed two banks here this
morning and escaped toward Glas-
tonbury in car without any
markers.
The banks robbed were the First
National and the Freestone Savings
Bank. In each case the cashier was
held up by "A gunman while a second
robber entered the vault and gath
cred in all the cash in sight.
The two banks are in the same
building and were looted at 1880
a. m, with many people passing
along the streets ignorant OF the
hold up.
A woman employee of the Free
stone Bank gave an alarm to the
police but the robbers had made
their escape before the officers
could arrive.
The cashiers held up were George
Cramer N the national and oliver
Ellsworth in tho Freestone. 1t was
said at each of the banks that the
money taken was not very consider
able as the funds had been depleted
by drafts from factories and stores
to make up weekly payrolls. At both
banks the employees started to check
the cash ito determine what had been
stolen as soon as the bandits had
left
An early report of the affair had
one of the cashiers killed, but this
was proved untrue. No shot was fired
by Cashier Ctamer, but he was locked
up in his vault by the holdups and
was released only after the plight Of
the Freestone bank was learned.
