 The king of prosperity" he explain ed, that will enable the farmer, the business man and the laborer to get his share. but with no reserved seat in the government for big business or special privilege"
 The territory visited today by Governor Cox is the stage of sharp fighting be- tween the non-partisan league and it's opponents and "radicalism' was discuss ed by the candidate. Urging progress rather than reaction, he said: Wherever you have, depotism you are going to have revolution if you don't blow your corn you will have weeds.

 The Polish government was thus faced with open and direct aggresEio1 from Lithuania. There is no douot poE- sible that the armies of Lifhuania are allied with the red army and that the Lithuanian government has become the tool of the soviet govesnn1ent. Owing 10 the fraternai relations which during several centuries have existed between the Polish and Lithuanian peoples. the Polish government would have recourse to force of arms only with great reluc- tance.

 Later when the Polish armies were forced to withdraw from ethnographic Polish territory as awarded Poland by the supreme council on December 8, 1919, Lithuanian troops occupied the evacuated territory and committed ex- cesses toward the populations remain ing faithful to Poland.

cox SAYS BIC BUSINESS"
 IS SEEKING HIS DEFEAT

Minot, N. D., Sept. Big business was hayed and progressivism preached by Governor Cox in a tour today of 200 miles in North Dakota near the Canadian boundary.
 These issues and the league of nations were emphasized 10 eight audiences com posed principally of farmers, laborers, small business men. women and children. Besides extended speeches at Grand Forkse and here tonight, the candidate spoke at Larmore, Devils Lake, Leeds. Rugby, Towner and Granville, making brief talks from the rear platform of his special train.
 Big business "leagued with the senate oligarchy" is seeking his defeat, Cover nor Cox declared, by contributing largely 10 the republican fund. He cited former President RooseVelt's fight in 1912 against alleged "reactionary renublican leaders"
 He led the crusade against vested in. terests and political bosses who served them" said the governor. He called the roll and specified persons by name. He named Boss Barnes fo New York, Pen. rose and Smoot as connecting links be. tween crooked business and crooked poli. | ties"
 Referring to testimony before the sen, l tee of alleged subscriptions by large cor porations and wealthy individuals to MT Barnes republican book, Governor Co, l continued:
 The same old crowd is back in tn, ] front line. Barnes, who in Roosevelt, mind was the Judas of the party. ha, been made its St. Paul and has bee, designated toswrite the faith of the part, for this campaign"
 Reading the names of the Barnes bool list. the governor added: | Large sums were pledged to MT Barnes to instruct the electorate. -Tha it was done with the knowledge and con sent of Senator Harding, the candidat for these same interests, is shown by hi letter directed personally to MT Barnes It is also commended by Boise Penrose the Pennsylvania boss.

 Why, that is nothing but printed circular without even single signature in pen and ink exclaimed Senator Spencer, That has no value as evil Gence"
 Ut is good evidence unless one is not seeking the whole truth retorted Sen ator Reed Do you mean to say that this letter is not authentic that it is forgery"
 Mir. Moore jumped from his seat and addressing Senator Spencer said no man could accuse him of forgery. After Chairman Kenyon had quelled the storm, MT. Moore and Senator Spencer argued as to whether the cEcular proved any thing, the witness maintaining that the mere fact that such circular was sent out proved that the plan to collect cam paign funds was widespread.
 Well is there anything sinister ir that?" asked Senator Kenyon.
 No" said Senator Reed, "but If a very small county is to raise $3,ooO then one might from that fact arrive at some conclusion as to the amounts that are to be raised throughout the country

Boston, Sept. 7.-Extremely close con- tests for the democratic nomination for governor and for the republican nomin- atlons for lieutenant governor and sec retary of state marked the state prom aries today The fact that women were voting for the first time gave election officials many puzzles in trying to de- termine whether ballots were valid This, together with sticker voting for two can didates for the republican nomination for state treasurer, made the counting slow.

HARDING IN CHICAGO
 CALLS ON GENERAL WOOD

Chicago, Sept 7-Senator Harding stopped in Chicago seveHal hours today on his first campaign trip outside of Ohio Ind quietly paid a call on Major Gene.a Leonard Wood, who met him at the station in downtown Chicago. Sena- tor and Mrs. Harding motored with the general to his headquarters at Fort Sheridan and after rest at the Wood home visited the general hospital where several hundred wounded soldiers wounded are under treatment. The can didate shook many by the hand and ex- pressed his hope for their quick recov- cry The senator did not return to Chi cago but drove to Deerfield, a suburb, to board his special train for St. Paul, where he will deliver an address at the Minnesota state fair tomorrow on az ricultural issues.
 A crowd gathered at the Dearborn street station, gave the nominee cheer when he left his train but as his car threaded it's way through the traffic of the loop district and sped out Sher- idan road few of those on the streets ] recognized him. He made no speeches here, but earlier in the day made his first lrear-platform talk to a crowd at Huntington, Indiana. selecting as his theme an endorsement of the Cummins Esch railway act
 No formal reception or demonstration l had been organized and several shifts 1 in plans had kept the general public guessing at which station the special | would arrive. It was said the nominee preferred to have his visit here devoted solely to his personal call on the gen
 eral.
 Todays meeting between the senator and General Wood was the second since
 the convention. Nearly a month ago the
 general went to Marion to pay his re- | spects and to pledge his support to the
 choice of the convention and today they are understood to have renewed their discussion of policies to insure solid pro- i gressive support for the republican tick 1 ct.
 Neither of them, however, had any statmenet to make.
 On his train during the trip here from Marion, the senator worked on corres- pondence but he was interrupted several times by curious crowds at the railway
 stations. At Huntington there were
 several hundred waiting and after he
 had shaken hands with many of them
 he yielded to demands for speech. Il
 was made and was cheered by the
 crowd which included many railway
 employees. While the senator was
 speaking his special changed engines vey the nominees thanks to the engi
 neer who had made the run from Mar
 ion.
 At the Chicago station both the nomi
 nee and his wife shook hands with tn, , ,engineer and fireman, Mrs. Hardin, standing on tiptoe and reaching up white gloved hand to grasp the biy grimy one extended from the engineer , cab.
