that when he was i'll Senator Lodge

is that Roosevelt died before the

Roosevelt died january E, 1919;
the Paris conference began three
weeks later and the treaty was not
signed till FIVE months thereafter. The
Lodge reservations were not drafted
or reported by the foreign relations
committee till September and Roose-
vclt had been dead eight months.
"As a matter of fact several of
the Lodge reservations are in direct
conflict with Roosevelt's great ad-
dress delivered when he received the

Politics and Society
Tangled When Mrs. Cox
Accompanies Husband

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Oct. 3l.-Chicago society
and national politics became en-
tangled with the arrival of Mrs.
James M. Cox, the young wife OF
the democratic presidential nominee.
She was remembered as Margaretta
Blair, who was popular in society.
She heard her husbands speech at
Woods theater and was the center
of a circle, of democratic women
leaders and others who knew her
as Miss Blair.
Mrs. Cox thinks her husband is
campaigning too hard. He was
scheduled to make eight speeches
here.
"Of course Jimmie can manage
it as far as he is concerned" she
said, but it is physically impossible
to crowd in all those meetings and
speeches"
Personally Mrs. Cox admits she
has nothing to do with politics.
I'm beginning to dislike posing for
my photograph" she complained, as
the newspaper photographers be-
sieged her for a new picture. IF l
don't begin to get thinner. pretty

ers OF the nation in his nnal cam
paign speech Saturday that his

methods.
Coming to Columbus after a day
OF campaigning over the stamping
ground of his democratic opponent,
Governor Cox, the republican nom-
inee delivered to a big meeting IN
Memorial hall here, his last cam
paign message from the stump. He
was greeted at the railway station by
a cheering crowd, and later was ac-
claimed by thousands as he drove
through the streets.
In all of his speeches, Mr.. Hard
ing emphasized his stand on domestic
issues which he declared the demo-
cratic managers had sought to OBJ
scure by fog of debate about the
league of nations. He also asserted
repeatedly that it was the conf
dence" of the nation to which he
was appealing and that the methods
of his party in the campaign had
been free from the class appeal.
No Apologies.
"There isn't anything that has hap
pened in this campaign he said,
that the republican party or its NOM
inee is ever going to be called upon
to apologize for"
Or the way from Cincinnati, where
he spent last night, the senator spoke
at Middletown, the boyhood home
of Governor Cox. at Dayton, where
the governor now lives, and at
Springfield, the home Of one Of the
Cox newspapers. In none Of his
speeches did he mention his oppo-
nent's name, but he made many ref
erences to the democratic nominees
campaign uttcrances and voiced in
pointed terms his own reply to them.
At Middletown, where many steel
workers were in the crowd, Mr..
Harding argued for the protective
tariff policy to preserve the Ameri-
can steel industry and repeated his
declaration that intelligent public
opinion must be the judge, at the
polls next Tuesday,

said, practically the close of great

Gov. Samuel r. McKelvie re-
viewed his administration and
knocked a few props out of Can

40-minute speech before fully 1000
attentive listeners at Fifteenth and
Farnam streets Saturday night.
Touching on the civil administra-

clared he believes Candidate More

"Why, when they were trying to
arrange debate between Morehead
and myself on the code bill in Lin
coin. Morehead wrote in saying he
wasn't familiar with the bill and
asked to be excused" shouted Gov
ernor McKeNie, and the crowd
laughed and applauded..
Governor McKelvie said More
heads offer to reduce taxes when
elected was simply an admission
that he is against good roads and the
good roads, program for the state I
He quoted statistics to show the ef-
ficiency OF the state law enforcement
division, and declared the election
of Morehead meant letting the bars
down.
"The bootleggerSis the worst kind
of a criminal" said the governor.

poison tfey peddle."
During the Morehead admins
tration there were 283 prisoners in
the state penitentiary," continued
the governor. "There are now $50
prisoners, and yet the democrats at
tempt to criticise our prison record.
The return of Beryl Kirk to the
state prison almost wrecked the en-.
tire democratic campaign.
"We do make mistakes and we're
willing to admit it, but we also at
tempt to remedy our mistakes. We
were simply following democratic
precedent when we began issuing
furloughs and as is usually the, case
these democratic preccdents got us
in bad. We quit issuing furloughs
because we found the system was
wrong"
Replying to charges that he had
personally delayed the execution Of
Cole and Grammer, Governor Nc
Kelvie explained il was legal inter-
vention which had caused the de-
lay.
II consider It mistake to make
something that involves human lives
a political ISSUE" said the governor,
"but it has been done by my op-
ponents, and it is t5r me to explain
that | had nothing to do with stay
ing their execution."S
The governor called attention to
the success Of prison labor on-roads
of the state, saying quarter of a
million dollars had been saved by
the use Of this labor and the men
were benefited by the outdoor life.
