Issue Is PrOgressiUism
Against Reaction Cox

continued to head the forces Of reaction
in their bitter fight against the enact
ment of the legislative reforms made
mandatory by the new constitution.
1--WE should be reminded" the governor
said, that at the very outset we were
fought at every step. Paid lobbyists
were at work At times we fought with
our backs to the wall. The opposition
was Of financial creation"
The reactionary forces Gov. Cox said
were unable to gain support of news
papers and therefore established their
own organ. which was distributed free.
ALL PROMINENT
LEADERS ON HAND.
Virtually every prominent democrat is
here for the convention, the main pur.
pose Of which IS to give the campaign
impetus.
Secretary of War Baker, Vic Donahey,
candidate for governor, and NJ. A.
Daugherty, key-noter, also were schec-
uled to speak.
The business before the convention

state leaders. said he had received ''most
encouraging reports as to democratic
chances in November.
Caucuses Of congressional districts and
meetings Of convention committees were
held and the convention proper opened
at Memorial hall at l o'clock.

Party Leader Defines
Stand Before Meet
ing of Ohio Demo
cratic Contention.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 1T.-James NJ
Cox, democratic nominee for president,
In his keynote speech before the state
convention of his party here today, de-
clared progressivism as opposed to reac-
ton is the issue of the hour and pic
tured Senator Warren G. Harding as
continuing in national affairs the reac-
tionary leadership which the governor
said the republican candidate had held
throughout the fight for progress in Ohio.
The governor reviewed the history Of
Ohio since 1912 and pointed to 'the rec
ord OF progressive phshmentsb7
under Che new constitution.
He charged that the party headed by
Senator Harding had put every obsta-
Gle into the path of advancement and
quoted the senator as having denounced
the order as socialism.
DEFINES STAND
OF PR0GREssIVEs.
'In every contest between progress and
reaction, whether state, national or in
ternational, you will find that the for
ward step is always surrounded by
articulated misgivings, sincere in some
instances, but ordinarily the evidence of
selfish desire or political design" the
candidate said.

"He would take from the potentate the
power to declare war over night
He would merge governmental en-
titles into a righteous association.
QUOTES FROM
HARDING SPEECH.
On the morning after the election at
which the constitution was adopted Gov.
Gov said Mr.. Harding made this state
ment:
ohio, by a majority, has turned from
It's old organic law and Its safeguards
and voted for Iadicalism. We have end
cd political conventions and their de-
liberauons. We retain the legislative
body simply as a form and have sub
stituted lawmalSing at the ballot box.
We have declared property rights sub
ject TO the law of those who have none
and opened the way for socialistic rule
and reign in municipality and state. The
revolution in Ohio dates frosn Sept 3.
Our own notion IS that the radical vic
tory of Tuesday will be followed by con-
nlct after conflict until a socialistic rule
is thoroughly established. Ohio has bro
ken her moorings. The revolution Is

fixed by the legislature for the expira-
tion of the act.
March 81, 1921, was the date set for
the expiration, unless the law should be
continued by subsequent legislation.
Thus, according to the complaint, the
coal operators would be paying for the
right to mine coal beyond 4 period of
any inspection or regulation Of the busi-
ness Of mining coal by the commission.
Section of the act Is invalid and
void, says paragraph 27, because IL de-
MES the plaintiff equal protection of the
law in that approximately 43 per cent OF
the coal consumed In the state is sold to
consumers, and 60 wholesale and retail
dealers in the state, by persons, firms
and corporations engaged in mining coal
without the state, in interstate commerce,
On which the Indiana legislature has no
power to assess tax or a license fee,
and because it imposes on Indiana coal
firms license fee, and a tax on the coal
produced in Indiana, which is not i'm.
posed on firms dealing in coal outside of
the state, thereby granting immunity Of
tax and license fee to foreign coal firms.
SAYS EQUAL
PROTECTION DEMANDED.
Paragraph 2s declares section Of the
ACT lnNand because IL denies equal prO-
lection of the law in that the special coal
and food commission is given the right
and power TO regulate and fix the price
OF all coal in intrastate commerce which
shall be sol dto shippers, wholesale and
retail coal dealers and to the public,
thereby depriving the plaintiff Of the lib
erty TO contract for the sale of its prop
erty.
Further complaints in the paragraph
charge that the commission In fixing the
price of coal would deprive the plaintiff
Of the right to sell It's coal at its market
value.
Paragraph 20. regarding section S of
the act, sets forth facts further sup
porting contentious made in section q
regarding the granting Of immunity tc
coal operators outside the state
II is charged in paragraph 30 that
section of the coal and food commls-
sion act Is unconstitutional because il
would grant the defendant power and

sufficient quantity Of coal TO supply do

FEED PRISONERS
FOR 80 CENTS
Former Jail Inmate Asks
Where Money Goes.

The following letter Of complaint whlsh
has been received by The Times is re-
spectfully referred to the state board OF
charities and corrections, the Marion
county grand jury or any other Of the
many agencies that are presumed TO be
looking after the welfare Of Marion coun-
ty prisoners.
No delusions are entertained to the ef-
feet that the letter win receive any more
consideration than did letters made pub
lie before the federal court disclosed con-
dltions In the jail that made them appear
mild by comparison.
II was unfortunate enough to be kept
in Jail for ten days in an assault case.
Il found the Jail food uneatable-thin
soup twice a day, no coffee but some col
ored warm water for breakfast, about
one ounce of bread. one ounce OF cooked
rice-this was the breakfast.
Thin soup and dry bread for dinner !;
thin soup and dry bread for supper, and
very little.
"oh. my. but the poor devils in the
Jail are a hungry bunch.
II, too, was awful hungry.
Il had little money and by paying
a tip was able 10 send out once a day
and get something to eat.
How the poor devils do lose in weight
when they have been long in the jail.
II lost nearly twenty pounds In ten
days.
When my meals were brought in from
outside how the poor, starving fellows
did beg me for just a bite of it to stay
their craving hunger, and Of course 1
could not refuse them.

foodstuffs cost and the foodstuff fed the
prisoners, at the high prices, does not
cost 30 cents each per day.
Who keeps the other 80 cents which,
with many prisoners to feed, soon

"Will your paper have the bravery to
ask TO have this cruel wrong investigated

FATE OF POLISH

STILLIN DOUBT
Wireless Picked Up by London
Tells of Occupation by
Reds.
REPORTS ARE CONFUSED

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Admission that the
Poles lost ground '1n front of warsaw
although in other sectors Of the front
they pushed the bolsheyild back over con-
siderable distances, is contained In a
statement by the Polish legation here at
o'clock this afternoon.
The sector ain front" of the Polish capi-
tai Is that immediately to the north.
LONDON, Aug. 17.-Whether the Rus
slams have penetrated Warsaw, the Pol
ish capital, occupying part of the city,
was in doubt this afternoon.
The Polish legation and the British
foreign Office united in q denial that any
part of the city has been captured by the
soviet army.
At / o'clock the British war office
gave out the text OF a Russian wireless
dispatch in the form of the regular
soviet war Office communique, saying.
'The heart OF Warsaw has been oc-
cupied"
A few minutes later the real Russian
war office comrlunique was issued, but
1t made no mention Of the occupation
OF Warsaw.
The British war office explained this
mystery by saying that a mistake had
less communication passing between Rus
sian field headquarters and Moscow for
the formal communique which Is re-
ceived from Moscow daily.
The British wireless station picked up
all available messages sent by the Rus
sian station. although only news Of mill
tary operations is given out to the
public.
The message referring to the heart
Of Warsaw" may have been code, It was
pointed out.
MUCH CONFUSION
OVER REAL SITUATION.
Much confusion over the real military
situation on the Warsaw fighting front
had arisen earlier in the day as a result
OF Central News dispatch issued at
1850 o'clock saying:
"A bolshevik official statement an
nounces that Warsaw has been occu-
pied"
An Immediate Investigation brought no
official confirmation OF the fall OF War

British military experts offered the
explanation" that the Official state
ment had come from the Wilma command
IN southern Llthunnia. near the Polish
frontier.
British army Officers who are in clOss
touch with the Russo-Polish military
situation said that the Official state
ment' carried BY the Central News
was not to be credited.
Formal announcement by the soviet
war office that the Russians had bro
