Chicago, July 14.—Hopes for the survival of the new party were at| ebb tide as the all-night conference | of thc new bLody's resolutions com- mittee dragged alonz today in an ef- | fort to get together on a platform ac- ceptable to Senator La Follette. The extreme left which yesterday controlled the amalgamiation and forted its plaiform .esires on the more conservative element in the convention, struck a snag when it met the veto power of the probable presidential nominee of the new party. Forty-eighters, who consti- tute the right wing group of the fusion movement are bitterly opposed to the more socialistic ideas of the radical labor factios. In this stand | they have the support not only of La Follette but of several minority organizations subscribing to the poli- tical combination. Single Taxers Withdraw. The first evidence of a possible break-up of the new party came when | the ;Single Taxers withdrew, adopted their one plank platform and nom- inated candidates. For president they named Robert C. Macauley of Philadelphia and for vice-president R. C. Barnum “of Clevéland. They quit the new party, Jérome C.

The constable, while admitting that he has taken into custody a number of autoists for various offenses, denied that he had ever preferred charges against young people carrying on an innocent flirtation or love-mak | match. In nine out of every ten case: he claimed, the male in the case was an experienced romancer, admitting { when nabbed that he was married but that the girl of his affections was not his wife. New Britain, in the con- stable’s opinion, is a city of affinities. He would have them understand, however, that they will have to seiect some spot other than Newington for their lovers’ lane. Incidentally, Constable Waterman who also serves as dog warden in Newington. asked the Herald to warn dog owmers in Newington that tho annual license fee for their pets w due in May and, by bheck, if the don't settle up within a week he pro- poses to run 'em in, asking the court to inflict the penalty which the iaw provides for their delinquency NEED MORE EQUIPMENT.

CRITICISES METHOD OF. REPUBLICAN MAN Columbus, O., July 14.—Charg'ng that Senator Harding had made his “front porch a listening post,” Gov- ernor Cox today issued a statement replying to Scnator Harding’'s state- ment of vesterday that the Wilson ad- ministration had saadled the League of Nations upon Governor Cox as the chief campaign issue. Governor Cox said his would be dedicated to the task o1 “bringing peace with honor, of read- justing the affairs of civilization and of creating a new day out of which we will make the best of the lessons of the past. Governoe Cox’s Statement. The statement follows: “'l recognize the eazerness of the gentlemen of the press who are assigned here to de- velop news copy daily. I have no dis- position to discourage that enterprise, but at the very outset it is well that we have this undersianding of a ve fundamental phase of the present sit- uation. “Senator Harding has made wo definite apnouncements- that he pur- poses to hark back to the days of .0 years ago, and that he will make I front porch a listensng post. This means that he will be as far removed from the running current of progres- sive thought as the senatorial oligar- chy of Lodge and Penruse and Smoot has been removed from the heart beats of the American people for a vear or more. “My campaign will bc dedicated to the task of bringirg peace with honor, of readjusting the affairs of civiliza- tion and of creating a new day out of which we will make the best of the lessons of the past. Therefore things that the senator belleves vital and pertinent from his isolated per- spective will not, in all probability, be so regarded by me. His last state- ment is but a reiteration of what has been said in the serate time after time, so that if this campaign on the one hand develops into mere morning sessions of the senatg you will very readily perceive the uselessness of daily respon: ; SMUGGLERS ARRESTED Three Women and Five Men Caught campaign in Cleveland Trying to Bring in Liquor. « Cleveland, July 14.—Three women and five men werc arrested at a rail- road station today charged with smuggling liquor.

Hyde Park, N. Y., July 14-—Frank- lin D.. Roosevelt replied at his home today to the charge of Senator Hard- ing that President Wilson had forcad the democratc nominees to accept his view that the league ot nations should become the dominant campaign is- sue, “The attempt by Senator Harding yesterday,” he said, “‘to befog the true league of nations issue by dragging in the name of President Wilson is merely further evidence of the his- torical fact that a certain type of senatorial mind cares more about squaring an ancient grudge against an individual than it does to consider the true welfare of the nation. It is of course well known that seven-eighths of the opposition of these senators is not to the league of nations, but to the person of he president United States himself. ““The democratic party campaign with the clea: ut purpose of proving that the world war has not been fought in vain. probably not even himself, knows what would happen should the republicans win. One branch of his supporters such as Sen- ator Hiram Johnson assures the na- tion that a repulican victory means no league .of nations. Another branch led by such men as former President Taft assures the nation that a repub- lican victary means the acceptance of the league with certain undefined res- ervations.” WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT.

It is being rumored in wel in- formed second ward circles that be- fore many months, or possibly weeks, there will be a vacancy in the com- mon council representation from that district. It is understood that either Councilman Reginald Towers or Alderman John F. Gill, or pos- sibly both, may sever their relations with the council for reasons of change of residence. Although Councilman Towers is still a resident of the second ward, his friends say that he is contemplat- ing moving from the ward. Alder- man Gill, when elected resided on Maple street but since that time has changed his residence and is now temporarily a resident of the fourth ward.
