CARRIED RIGHT ONTO FOLLOW u.
Principal Allied Nations to
Recognize Mexico Now.
Peaceful Program of New
Regime Is Rewarded.

Washington, Oct. 3o.-Recognition
by the principal allied powers soon
will be won by the new Mexican gov
eminent as the result of the virtual
promise of recognition by the govern
ment of the United States, representa-
,tives here of the new regime declared
today.
While several of the South Ameri-
can and Central American govern
ments have recognized Mexico the
great powers such as Britain and
France, have withheld action. It was
understood they are awaiting defini-
ton of the attitude of the United
States. Observers here were skeptical
of the confidence of Mexico in winning
early recognition by the other great
powers pointing out Great Britain
never granted recognition to carranza.
1t was made plain officially today
that the statement of Secretary of
State Colby that the preliminaries of
recognition can confidently proceed
means formal recognition of the Mexi-
can government undoubtedly will be
granted soon.

CONCRETE BOAT SUNK QUICK
Nineteen on Board Still Missing-Col

Newport, r. ", Oct. 3O.-Nineteen
members of the crew of the concrete
steamer Cape Fear, sunk in a. collision
with the steamer City of Atlanta in
Narragansett bay last night, were
missing TO-DAY.
It was believed most of the men
were drowned. The boat sank only
three minutes after the collision. AL
tho the sea was calm and the weather
clear, it was said the men had hardly
time to launch the lifeboats before the
vessel sank.
A great hole was torn in the bow of
the City of Atlanta but her bulkheads
prevented her sinking. The Cape
Fear, a United States shipping board
boat, was struck amidship. The big
concrete freighter quivered and almost

Republican Interruptions Did
Not Bother w. G. McAdOo,
Presidents SOn-in-Law Greeted
by Big Crowd Here.

Interruptions-Repu Interrupt
tons. me told his crowd-didn't feaze
the big meeting which union labor
staged for William G. McAdoo at the
Santa Fe station Friday evening. The
former railroad administrator and
secretary of the treasury paid his re-
|spects to the Republicans in singing
terms. He flayed them-from Senator
Harding down to the minor candidates
for the Esch-Cummins bill and the
refusal of congress to accept the presi-
dents league pact.
The presidents son-in-law won a big
reception when he arrived in Topeka
aboard Santa Fe No. 6 at 1850 o'clock.
It was clear that many of the work
men who attended the meeting had a
decided preference for presidential
candidates when the Bourbons held
their conventionsin San Francisco. And
McAdoo seemed their common and ac-
lcepted idol.
Republicans Were Noisy.
Probably 1000 to $500 persons
heard the station speech. A switch
engine shunted the McAdoo car up and
down the track and man in the cab
insisted on ringing his bell. The crowd
was right from the Santa Fe shops and
accustomed to switch engines. 1t
wanted to hear McAdoo, not engine
bells. So they yelled to cut the rope
and insisted a Republican engine
crew was on the job. Later they ad-
vised McAdoo that it was a Republi-
can iron works that operated noisy
engine nearby.
The national congress enabled the
railroads to reach down in the pock-
cts of the farmers and take millions of
dollars from the wheat growers, Nc
Adoo insisted, when the railroad bill
was passed. 1t increased this money
grab, he said, when the interstate
freight and passenger rate increase.
No Guarantee on Wages.
1.-THE members of congress were
anxious to guarantee the return which
was to come to the railroads." said
| McAdoo, but you noticed they didn't
| fix any guarantee as to your wages
during the same two years." This
statement caught theifancy of the shop
men and there was loud applause.
| This bill guaranteed the railroads
1 per cent and the plan cost the people
of the, United States s182, 100000 dur
ling the first six months. In order to
guarantee earnings of the roads the
Republican congress empowered the
Interstate commerce commission to
Iraise the freight rates from rs to>40
Ilper cent. This is g tax fixed on you
linen for the benefit of capital"
II McAdoo's train started while he was
Ispeaking from a truck at the station.
Then the crowd wanted to shake
hands. But McAdoo was insistent on
| filling his/Kansas City speaking date
and the workmen and their wives were
| compelled to be content with the
speech.

TO VOTE ON THREE.
Proposed Amendments VIII Be
Voted on Tuesday.
Farm Tenantry, Taxation and
Aid for Roads, Included.
TO BROADEN LEGISLATURE
Measures Urged Before Legis-
Iature in 1919.
Greatest Number of Proposals
in Recent Years.

Every man and woman who goes to
the polls Tuesday will receive a blank
ballot on which to register an express
sion as to each Of the proposed amend
ments to the state constitution. Three
proposals-the maximum to be sub
fnitted at any election under the Kan
sas constitution-are before the voters
this year. They include farm ten
antry classification of property for
taxation and state aid for hard surface
roads.
Each of the measures tends to extend
provisions of the present constitution
and to broaden powers of the legisla-
ture. The measures were urged before
the legislature in 1919 and were sub
mitted to the voters after hard fights
I'm which Governor Allen was himself
prominently active. In a fight which
was carried to the voters during the
closing weeks of the campaign, public
attention has been directed to the
proposed provisions more directly than
in any recent constitutional fight e&
cept suffrage and the mill tax pro-
posal
Greatest Number in Recent Years.
Not in recent years have the Kansas
voters been called upon to pass upon
three constitutional proposals in any
general election. Whether the meas
ures will be linked together and win
or lose because of general favor or OPP
the campaign. Should the proposals
be adopted the legislature would be
empowered to classify property for
taxation, to create a revolving fund
for use of the state in making loans
to persons desiring to buy farms, and
TO provide state aid for permanent
highway building in the various coun-
ties. The road measure provides the
state may thru legislative actibn meet
rs per cent of the permanent highway
expense in any county-provided
such expense is not in excess of $10,-
900 a mile and not more than 100
miles of road in any county receives
state aid.
The Amendments.
Language of the amendments clear
~ state their meaning. The proposed
farm tenantry amendment reads:

provement and ownership of agricul-
tural lands and the occupancy and
cultivation thereof provision may be y
made by law for the creation and
maintenance of a fund, in such man

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You aer often told to beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you
Every cold weakens the lungs, low
ers the vitality and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Peo-
pie who contract pneumonia first take
cold. The longer a cold hangs on,
the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as a cold
prepares the system for the recep-
ton and development of the germs
of consumption, diptheria, scarlet
fever and whooping cough. The
quicker you get rid O fyour cold,
the less the danger of contracting one
of these diseases. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has a great reputa-
ton as a cure for colds and can be
depended upon. 1t is pleasant to
take. For sale by the Second Glass
