Chairman Denounces Crit

i'm Introducing Governor

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 11.-Governor
Cox Of Ohio, Democratic Presidential
candidate, tonight made his first pub
lie declaration in regard to prohibition.
The Governor, after an introduction
IN which his sponsor, George C. Cot
terill, denounced assertions that the
candidate was a wet, made the fol-
lowing declaration to large audience {:
"As a progressive in government, I
know when an event has passed by and
becomes a part Of yesterday The re-
dictionary rarely does. The friends of
world peace and the friends of progress
vii! win this election, and attempts to
divide them on any question not an
issue will be unavailing."
The brief statement in to-nieht's
speech of the Governor, who has been
charged frequently with being a wet
candidate, was determined upon during
conferences with Mr.. Cotterill and
others on his train to-day after a day
of bombardment upon him in news
papers, kilograms and letters demand
ing statement from him on the SUBJ
ject.
Attacks Made by Drys
The way was paved for Governor
Cox's declaration by Mr.. Cotterill, who
referred to an attack made on Cover
nor Cox to-day by The Seattle Post
lnte lligencer, Republican newspaper,
which branded Governor Cox as a
Wet, and demanded that.-the Cover
nor declare himself and not "dodge''
the question. The paper printed an
alleged letter of George F. Carroll.
president of the New Jersey Liquor
Dealers Association, dated July 22,
stating that Governor Cox was a pro-
nounced wet and his nomination "a
big victory for our interests" The
Carroll letter also called for aid and
funds from the liquor dealers in behalf
of the Governor.
Mr.. Cotterill, who is the Democratic
candidate for Senator, praised the rec
ord of Governor Cox on prohibition and
other moral issues In Ohio, declaring
that he procured in advance Of national
prohibition the saloon Sunday closing
law. Besides charging that Senator
Harding owned brewery stock, Mr.. Cot
terill said the Republican candidate
had voted wet thirty times on matte RS
pertaining to prohibition, as against
only two dry votes, and these after
Ohio had adopted prohibition and re-
elected Governor Cox to enforce it.
Besides the Seattle newspapers at
tack, The Herald, of Bellingham, where
the Governor made his first speech
to-day, sent telegram, asking a
statement from the candidate on pro-
hibition and whether he favored Ar
ticle of the League of Nations cove
rant as presented by President Wilson,
whether he approved the blanket in
dorsement" of President Wilson's ad-
ministration in the San Francisco plat
form and other questions. No reply
was made by Mr.. Cox.
Woman Also Demands Views
Another demand for a statement on
prohibition and Article K came from
q woman prohibition leader of Ia

20 German WOrkn,en
Quit B0lshevik Russia
Tell of Diet of Bread Resene-
bling Peat and Containing
Chaf and UnnlilEed Grain

SWINEMUNDE, Prussia, Sept. II (By
The Associated Press) ).--"Cured of
Bolshevism" was the unanimous senti-
ment of seventy German workmen con-
stltuting part of a company which
migrated toe Soviet Russia two months
ago and who have arrived here aboard
the steamer Regina. The men returned
from Kolomna, near Moscow, where
they were assigned to factory Jobs.
They were expected to subject them
selves to rigorous communistic mode
of living, including q diet of bread,
which they declared looked like peat,
and contained chaff and unmilled grain.
The men are frankly jubiant over
their escape from "the Bolshevik para
disc" Other Germans in the original
party were obliged to remain behind,
as they were too i'll to travel.
The returning party include men
whom the Independent Socialist lead
ers looked up during their recent trim
to Moscow. The revelations they made
to Herr Dittmann and other Socialist
leaders were largely responsible for the
sharp party division on the issue of
joining the Moscow Internationale.

Mr.. Cotterill and other advisers, de-
cided to make his statement tonight.
Richmond Pearson Hobson, of Ala.
bama, prohibition leader, soon afte,
Governor Cox's nomination, requested
the candidate to state his position on
prohibition and whether he would veto
bill to modify the Volstead law. Nc
reply has been announced by the
Governor.
Starting at Bellingham early to.
day, the Governor made three speeches
despite the handicap Of severe hoarse,
ness, at Mount Vernon, Everett and
Tacoma.
The League of Nations, the "sen.
atorial oligarchy" and further attacks
on Republican finances and leaders
were the principal subjects of all his
addresses. At Everett he spoke to q
large outdoor crowd at the baseball
park, and to another late this after.
noon at Tacoma. Because of the
Governors throat affection the plans
for another trip to Tacoma were
changed.
Governor Cox left here at midnight
for Portland to spend a quiet Sunday
in the hope of getting his throat in
shape for further campaigning. All
Sunday engagements at Portland were
