LEAGUE LIARS ARE
 BITTERLY SCORED Swing of Voters to Cox Has Made His Election a Certain
 ty, Declares Roosevelt
By Associated prcss

Canton. H., October n--'Leasue piars" was the characterization applied by Franklin D. Roosevelt in an address here tonight to hundreds of prominent Republicans who in their private and business life are models of rectitude, n.id who would not stoop rc deceive, but who are daily making deliberate and malicious misstatements about the League of Nations''
 To-day they meet with cheers and ap- plause, he added, "as their cheap tricK- ery in cloaking the anti-league propa- ganda under a guise of patriotism for the moment appeals to their hearers. In the tomorrow of the worlds history an- other story will be written. and these sape men will share the approbrum of future generations with that little group of wilful political obstructionsts who blocked the passage of the league in fhe Senate for petty political reasons.
 This fall American honor is at stake, for the issue between the two candidates

NO TRACE OF SKATERS

England, Ark, October 11.-No trace has been found tonight of the slayers of Nora Canada, negro employed to guard a gin near here after warnings had been received to stop work until the price of cotton rises. The negros body was found early today upright against an outside wall of the structure where he had been killed with shotgun.
 Warnings worded in crudely printed letters have been received by number of gins in this section. but it was said all were in operation today. Guards have been employed to protect most of the properties.

 Everybody il. Europe knows that the league is practical, working organiza- ton that is making good. want to see the United States go into it and take the leadership.
 If the campaign could continue for two months more Senator Harding would either lose every state in the union or would have to retract and wholly aban- idon his present position. Even as it is, the swing of thinking voters from Hard ing to Cox has made Governor Cox s election certainty"
 MT. Roosevelt began the days cam paign in Hannibal, Mo, where he ad- dressed a large crowd in the public park An outdoor meeting also was held this noon at Quincy, H.. followed by a luncheon talk before the Quincy Cham Der of Commerce.
 From Quincy he went to Galesburg, where he charged that eastern capital ists were trying to obtain financial dom nation of the country. MT. Roosevelt will leave Canton early tomorrow morning for Decatur, where a noon meeting is scheduled and then pro- ceed to Danville for a night meeting.

out this time? Because the democratic party has ruled the country for six or seven years under a tariff for revenue only in a period of the greatest pros- perity the country has ever known. Business men have never had such a high degree of prosperity as in the past six years, so they had to put the pro- tective tariff in cold storage. Then there was the money question and bank ing and currency matters. That also had to be abandoned in this campaign. You know the history of the past few years. When the democratic party went into office in 1912 it found the nation cursed with the worst financial system of any civilized nation.
 We believe there are large number of republicans who believe in the League of Nations, who will cross the party lines and vote for the democratic candidate for President of the United States"

account of the price of cotton, Sheriff A. s. Baggett of Douglas county report ed to Governor Dorsey today, and added that he had offered a reward of $500 for arrest of the guilty persons.
 The sheriff wrote that a '1awless crowd is trying to get control of the situation and suggested that an offer of a reward by the governor would have a beneficial effect. Governor Dorsey re- piled that threats against property in Georgia constitute q misdemeanor for which the governor is not authorized to offer a reward, but that in case of de- struction of any property, which is fel- ony, he would 'be glad to offer the highest reward possible under the law
 Owners of threatened gins are guarding them at a cost of sl0 to $15 day, the sheriff added.
 No gins have yet been reported burned or otherwise damaged in Georgia, but many have been posted with threats of destruction unless they cease operations

THE PITCHING RECORDS

Analysis of the pitching records in today's game show that Mails and Smith were working on the batters in much the same fashion. The Cleveland hurlers superiority lay entirely, in the fact that be allowed fewer hits and scattered them better
 Mails threw to the batterS 99 times. while Smiths effort totalled 1o3 in eight innings. The local lad shot over B strikes, eight foul strikes, 26 called balls, two fouls, forced 13 men out on flies and F on gfcunders He anoweo three hits in as rhany innings. Smith twirled B strikes seven foul strikes, 2S called balls. three fouls, re- tired eight batters on flies and 12 on rollers. He allowed seven hits, however, but only in the sixth. when Speaker S single and Burns double scored Cleve- lands run, could the Indians get nor. than one safe blow to an inning. The Robins were still full of flight to- night regardless of three straight defeats at the hands of the Indians.
 Beat? I should say we are pot, fumed Manager Wilbur Robinson of the National leaguers. We haven't been hitting and that's the sole trouble. we are going out there tomorrow and smash into those Indians so hard they will wish they'd never seen a worlds series. I'll pitch either Marquard or Grimes, or expect 10 stop CleVeidnu W lniiiiS streak"
 Zack Wheat of the Dodgers strode back and forth and in positive terms ex- plained how Brooklyn would take three straight.

SEES NO DIFFERENCE

St Louis, October 11.-United States Senator Selden P.

 territory, we have the right to in- sist upon certain guarantees of peace
 q beg my friend, MT. Kramer. and my friend MT Trumbic, and my friend. Mr. Bratiano to believe that if We should feel that it is best to leave the words which they have wished to omit in the treaty it is not because we want to insist upon unreasonable conditions. but that we want the treaty to accord to us the right of judgment.
 COMMON AGREEMENT NEEDED
 Therefore, the impressions with which we should disperse ought to be these: That we are all friends-of course, that goes without saying but that we must all be associated in a common effort and there can be no frank and earnest association in the common effort unless there Is com mon agreement as to what the rights and settlements are.l
 Now If the agreement is a separate agreement among groups oi us, that does not meet the object. Ii you should adopt the language suggested by the Czecho -Slovakian delegates and 1 the Serbian delegation-the Juso- Slovak delegation--that 1t should be left to negotiation between the prin- cipal allied and associated powers and their several delegates that woula mean that after this while conference Is adjourned groups of them would de- termine what is to be the basis of the peace of the world. It seems to me that that would be most dangerous Idea to entertain. and therefore beg that we may part with sense. not Of interference with each other, but Of hearty and friendly cooperation upon the only possible basis of guarantee. Where the great force lies there must be the sanction of peace.
 T sometimes wish in hearing an ar gument like this. that were the repre- sentative of a small power. so that what l said might be robbed of any mistaken significance. but think you will agree with me that the United States has never shown any temper of aggression anywhere. and it lies iu the heart of the people of the United States as 1 am sure it lies in the hearts of the peoples of the other great powers to form common partnership of right and to do service to cur associates and no kind of disservice."

SAYS TARIFF SlDETRACKED
Treaty Held in Congress to Force
 Campaign Issue, Says Hitchcock
By Associated Press

Bridgeport, Conn, October 11.-Speak- ing before a large audience here to- night, Senator Hitchcock, democratic leader in the Senate for the treaty rati- fication. charged the republican party with putting the protective tariff issue in cold storage.
 That is the reason, declared Senator Hitchcock, the League of Nations issue is before the people in solemn referen- : dunn. The treaty, continued the Sen ator, was held in Congress "in order to force campaign issue"
 Senator Hitchcock said in part:
 This is the first time the protective tariff has not been one of the great. if not the greatest issue between the two great parties. For some reason, how ever, the republican convention at Chi cago put the protective tariff issue in cold storage. Every other former re- publican convention had the courage to boldly advocate the protective tariff as the sole means of salvation because laboring men for years have voted the republican ticket under fear of the empty dinner pail.' Why did they not bring that issue

Myers. In the same session, Catcher l ONeill snapped a fast throw to Burns
 after Nefs had been walked to first and
 caught the runner several feet off the
 bag. despite his desperate effort to re- gain 1t. Pitcher Smith engineered a
 somewhat similar play in the eighth when he flashed the ball across the dia-
 mond to Konetchy and caught Evans off
 the base after the latter had gained the i first station as the result of clean sim gle to center
 !, Although Mails pitched remarkably
 steady game, Brooklyn several times had men within scoring distance, the Dodg- ! CTS best chance to get men around the paths coming in the second, when a sin gle and two errors filled the bases. After two were out Konetchy slashed a line single to right. Kilduff rolled one to | SeweH, but the shortstop fumbled just l long enough to lose his chance either 1 for Konetchy at second or Kilduff at l first. Miller's grounder gave Gardner ] an easy chance for play at any bag, 1 but he also fumbled, filling the bases | for Smith. With two balls called. the Brooklyn pitcher caught a slow curve l near the end of his bat for a short fly back of second. Speaker dashed in and caught it for the third out. Brooklyn never got a man to third after this inning.
 IF the fourth Myers singled after one was out and konetchy walked, put Mails forced Kilduh to hit short fly to Wood and Evans took Miller's long | liner, Neis walked in the sixth. but was caught off first with one out on quick. throw from O'Neill, and in the eighth Olson drove a double to left with | two out. He never passed second, how ever. for Sheehan popped out and Krue- ger. batting for Neis, grounded to Gardner, who tagged out Olson at third. Brooklyn made final effort to score in the ninth. Myers was safe at first with one out when Sewell threw high, and Konetchy forced the Brooklyn out fielder at second. With McCabe running for Konetchy, Kilduf lifted long fly | to Evans and the game was over.
