 WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The American trade balance for the first eight months of 1920 was $1,483, ,000, ,oo0, compared to more than $3,0oo, ,0o0,o ,o00 for the corre- spending period of 1919, according to figures made public today by the department of commerce. They showed import trade is expanding at more rapid pace than export trade. Imports for the eight months of this year exceeded those of the 12 months of 1919 by approximately $100,000,000.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25-With the exception of a subcommittee inquiry into charges involving financing of the campaign of Governor Cox in Ohio in 1918 and completion of it's investiga ton into conditions in Missouri, the senate committee looking into presidential campaign funds and political influences had cleared it's slate today when it ad- journed it's sessions here to reconvene in St. Louis October IS. The Ohio in- quiry will be conducted by Senators Edge and Pomerene in Dayton begin ming October '.
 Lacking the testimony of E. H. Talbot of Dayton, who had been summoned in connection with the implied charge made before the committee yesterday that the Dayton Metal Products com pany had taken up a $5,000 note for Governor Cox in 1918, the committee conducted 2 hard drive toward clearing up loose ends of previous hearings.
 The hearings today were devoted to further inquiry into the activities of the league to enforce peace; the con- nection between Stars and Stripes a weekly newspaper for former soldiers, and the Democratic campaign organ ization; the Inter Racial council and the Association of Foreign Language Newspapers with T. Coleman du Pont, Republican national committeeman from Delaware, on the stand; and into trips of navy department officials and employees, including Secretary Daniels to the Pacific coast during the time of the Democratic convention in San Francisco
 c. o. p. Row Aired
 Incidentally, the committee heard de- tails of what was described as a "quadrennial row" between Republican factions in North Carolina and apolo- gized for having summoned Clarence R. Pugh from Elizabeth City, that state, for examination. It found no evidence of any $5o,O00 fund provided by Chair man Hays of the Republican national committee, to organize North Carolina textile workers as a political opponent of MT. Pugh as had been charged.
 Another witness told of a Republican fund of SS,500, thus far raised in Penn sylvania, but denied all knowledge of ly by Senator Reed, who drew out the admission that a second organization, a Harding Coolidge club, also was rais- ing funds in Pennsylvania.
 Considerable time was devoted to the examination of Richard H. Waldo of New York, and it was from this wit ness that statement was obtained that he understood B. M. Baruch and Secre- tary Meredith had helped finance the publication of the Stars and Stripes. having been assessed" as leading Democrats through the influence oi members of the Democratic national organization.

CHAIRMAN WHITE. SAYS ]. {. MARINE MARK IF NIL LSON
 ADMINISTRATION
[RepubIican A. p. Leased WIrel

T
 NEW YORK, Sept. 25-George White, chairman of the Democratic na- tional committee, in a statement to- night declared that if the spirit of fair ness and truth governed Senator Hard ing in his campaign he would not have been guilty at Marion yesterday of his unprovoked attack on the adrninfs- tration and his attempted disparage- nent of one of the real facts of the administration-the upbuilding of the American merchant marine.
 "One of the great problems of new administration" he said, would be to turn the 100000 tons of war-created shipping into an effective agency of widened American commerce in peace. I do not know of a single feature of the present administration, comparable to that of the United States shipping board.
 As usual the facts are in conflict with the senator's statements. Prior to this administration only eight per cent of American ocean born com merce was carried under the flag. Now more than 50 per cent is so carried,
 
 Our flag goes to every port in the world, waving over American ships, and our merchant marine is second only to Great Britain's. From 3I6,00O gross tons production in 1914, we have gone 10 4,ooo,ooO tons in 1919- and 2O0,- | e0O now toll a shipbuilding, where | but 5O.00O were employed six wears ago.
 The merchant marine has flourished particularly under Democratic admin lstrations. During the first half of the | nineteenth century our flag fluttered ! at the masthead in every port; in the i latter half it was suffered to disap- l pear. The Democrats no sooner resumed power in 1913 than they took measures to promote shipbuilding and sailors | began to be considered again And rom the time it was organized in | Janury, 1917, to June 15, 1920. the United States shipping board con structed and delivered 2,048 vessels of nearly 1z,OU0,000 tonnage and in 1919 doubled the British record.
 Talk about Americanism. What more AmerIcanism achievement could there be than to emancipate this na ton from foreign domination of its commerce and to give to it's farmers and shippers the advantage of ocean rates? What industrial feat more ex- traordinary than the transformation of Hog island from a morass to the greatest hive of production on our soil: Senator Harding is a member Of the committee on commerce, and he knows that the facts I state are true. H. knows further that prompt cancellation of outstanding contracts when the wal ended, step that inefficiency would not have taken. saved the govern, ment S600 100000.

 We do not want to interfere with the chances of the White Sox to win the pennant,' said MT. Replogle. When the season is over or when nant race we will summon several members of the team
 He said that the jury now had a list of prospective witnesses who would easily keep it busy until after the end of the season.
 The players for whom subpoenas were issued earlier in the day. but held up by MT. RepIogle's orders, were Ed die Collins, field captain of the team; John Collins, first baseman; Ray Schalk, catcher. and Eddie Murphy, utility outfielder. There still is no in- tention of calling any of the eight men whose world series checks were held up last year. according to MT. ReplogIe Four of these men-Cicotte, Williams Gandn and Felsch-Were mentioned by J. C. (Rube) Benton in his testimony as persons who might know some thing about the gambling''
 Jury Session Will Last Months
 MT Replogle, who yesterday an nounced the jury would be continued in special session after its regular term expired Sept. 30, tonight said that the investigation probably would last two months longer. Every person who is believed to possess any information concerning the alleged gambling vii be subpOenaed he said.
 President B. E. Johnson of the Amer lcan league, who left few days age on what was expected to be a secret trip to New York for information and President John Heydler of the National league, who has been conducting a private investigation for several weeks will be the first witnesses when the jury reconvenes Tuesday. Several newspapermen and a group of Chica- goans whose names are being withheld but who are said to have won or lost heavily on the series, also are sched- uled to testify.
 The identity of the woman who was charged with betting against the Chi cago Americans and who was said tc be the wife of one of the players had not been officially revealed tonight Mrs. CIaud Williams last night volur tarily denied she was the woman re- l fererd to.

VOTING FORAGJUDGES
IMPORTANT

Electors in Ohio should bear in
mind when they go into the voting
booth on November 2nd that the
Judicial Ticket is not a part of
either the National or State Tickets
but is on a separate ballot from
these two; a ballot which contains
no party emblems. There are four
State candidates to be voted for on
this ticket and in order to vote for
each it is necessary for the elector
to put cross in front of each name
The candidates of the Republican
party for these four positions are
unusually strong men this year c.
T. Marshall, candidate for Chief
Justice has been one of Ohio's lead
ing lawyers for almost 50 years;
Thomas A. Jones and Edward S.
Matthias who are candidates for re
election have taken rank with the
best known iurists in Ohio during
their 6 years of service Colonel
Benson W. Hough, candidate for
the short term has brilliant re
cord as a soldier and an equally
brilliant record as a memlbr CT
the bar
The elecion of those men will be
an honor to the Supreme Bench OF
the State. Garry their names with
YOU into the voting boob on Novem:
Der 2nd and be sure to place an X
in front of the name of each.

AN ISSUE ON WHICH
WOMEN SHOULD VOTE

Many women have said they did
not care to vote except on the pro-
hibition question. We have an oppor-
tunity to do so this fall on the re-
ferendum brought about by the vets,
whether the voters of Ohio would sus-
tain the prohibition enforcement law
passed by our legislature last winter
and signed by the Governor. 1t is
known as house bill No. 620 and will
be on separate ballot.
To vote for prohibition enforce
ment put the cross before the Eyes"
In an address we heard few days
ago the speaker said, "Men by their
ballots have brought about prohibi-
tion, but you women will get the
blame if it is lost again" So you
see every woman in the State of
Chic ought to see her responsibility
to go to the polls this fall and cast
her ballot for the sustaining of house
bill No. $40.
Respectfully submitted,
