COX XMAYPAY
WILSON VISIT
Cancelled Vacation Indica-
tive President Will Aid
Campaign.
. Public Ledger ServiceD

Before his campaign grows many
days older Gov. James NJ. Cox, the
Democratic candidate for President,
may be expected to come to Wash
ington for a conference with Pres.-
dent Wilson upon the league of ma
tons issue.
That is the belief of observers
here who have watched develop
ments at the White House since
the news came from San Francisco
that Gov. Coy had been chosen to
lead the party.
First the President sent a con-
gratulatory telegram to the can
didate, and there was genuine evil
dence at the White House that Gov.
Cox was thoroughly acceptable and
that his record as a supporter of
the treaty of Versailles and the
covenant of the league of nations
substantially as they came from
Paris has been investigated ana
not found wanting.
Then Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
the Presidents physician. announc-
ed that the President had decided
to abandon all idea of a seashore
trip and would remain in Washing
ton probably all summer. 1t also
was indicated that the President
would take a hand in the campaign,
how active to be determined by. the
national committee and the Cox
campaign management.
The developments were taken to
mean that the President intends the
treaty to remain the dominant issue
and proposes to give Gov. Cox the
benefit of the Presidential counsel
and assistance

and since assuming the burdens of

business wherever he has been stay
ing for a few days. He is at present
using his sitting room. which is but
little larger than a porter's lodge.
for an office and there he works ten
hours daily with his secretary, Dr..

his faithful companion. DR.. Falco is

painting frantically to keep up with
the head of the Italian cabinet. The
only other companion of the premier
at Bardonecchia is DR.. Mattoli. his
physician, but he is not there because
the premier needs medical attention.
but as friend, who on certain occa-
sions transforms himself into an
English translator. He speaks that
language fluently. his wife being
native of the United States.
From his office" at Bardonecchia
the premier is in direct telephone
communication with all the principal
Italian cities. chiefly with Rome.
Milan, Turin and Genoa. Even the
possibility of wire interruptions has
been foreseen. and a wireless station
has been erected so that Signor Clio
litti may be instantly Informed OF
anything important occurring in any
part of the country. Each afternoon
he receives from Rome an enormous
pouch containing state papers, which
he opens personally.
Well known to Neighbors:
It is only after he has gone through
with the entire correspondence ana
given instructions regarding the most
important business before him that
the premier goes for his, evening
walk. His tall and upright inquire,
with a broad-brimmed soft felt nat
and a long frock coat, which he wears
even in the country, is we'll known
to all in the Alpine village.
The premier knows and recognizes
nearly every one he meets, greets
them by name and asks about their
families and affairs. His only regret
this wear is that the complications in
governmental affairs and in foreign
relations prevent him from playing
his daily game Of "tarrocchi. which
is a game peculiar to Piedmont It
