Conn., Aug. on republican campaign was renewed here today James M. Cox, democratic presidentia candidate, in_a momber of = addressc opening his New England campal Thar e had proven his charges in b Pittsburgh address last night of the as sembling of a $15.000,000 “corruptiol fund™ by the republicans was asserted by Governor Cox. and he also declared he inue” “rubbing that sore spo! ot eiectionday. He withheld, how- ever, any further evidence in support of his_charges. g 5 The first “break in the republican line, Govenor Cox declared during the course of four speeches here, was the republican proposal for a separate peace Wwith Ger- man: “The second break in the lines came Jas night at Pittsburgh” he continued. “They have been going along gathering the largest campaign fund ever known in the history of govermment in all the world. No one ever dreamed of getting such a sum This year the chairman of the republican campaign committee has set to work a sreat force of men, state chatrmen, local chairmen and workers, that he designates as the ‘money diggers’ of the republican party.” Governor Cox stated that Will H. Hays. republican national chairman, had denied the charges of a $15,000.000 fund and declared that the fund would be only $3.000,000, while a few days later, the governor said, Fred W. Upham, republi- cin treasurer, “muitiolied Mr. Hays” by two and cne-half times by stating that the fund would be $7,000,000. Reserves Privilege to Multiply. “In my Pittsburgh speech last night.” the candidate added, “I have domonstrat- ed to the satisfaction of every unpreju- diced voter in the country that we were justified in multiplying Mr. Upham's fig- ufes by two. "1 repeat, that the republican fund—the corruption fund—will be not less than $15,000.000. We will not attempt to match their dollars.” Governor Cox also made a statement commienting on Mr. Upham's denial of his sharges. After reading a statement (Tom Mr. Upham that the $3,145,000 contribu- tion quota list presented by the eandidat &t Pittsburgh was ‘phony,” Governo x_said : S e senate committes can find _out perfectly well who attended this meefing at which these lists weer distributed by the republican leaders. It is a anll!r that can be got at in a perfectly simple ther thing that I don’t ‘understand i why Mr. Harding and Mr. Hays are pot coming forward with some explana- this quota list was kept Made Four Addresses. Almost from the moment of _arrival here this afternoon, Governor Cox during » day of bustling campaigning _started hammering at the republican finances He made four addresses and in all but pne, that to soldier patients at the public health service tuberculosis hospital at Allingtown, he denounced the fepublican campaign. He addressed a hotel meeting of the First Voters' league, the soldier “ratification” boys, a large democratic finner at Savin Rock, a nearby Long fstand sound shore resort. and a large public gathering at a theatr etonight. At all he was received with enthusiasm Besides his criticism of the republican sontributions. Governor Cox in all of his Gtterances urged vigorously the entrance of America into the league of nationss, and to his audience ‘at Savin Rock he made what his auditors regarded as a yeference to the auestion of Irish free- dom, the first of his campaign Plea for League of Nations. In pleading fof the league, Governor Cox stated that it was put forward by President Wilson in the latter’s delinea- tion of the “fourteen poin ome of which was “self-determination of free peoples.” “The league of nations” the governor continued, “does not abridge the right of any racial entity to determine its cwn destiny. The league was never intended to be and, under its administration, it pever will be an agency that will restrain or @iscourage the same kind of emotions of any people—emotions like those that stirred the colonists to achieve their in- dependence in 17767 The statement was cheered at length by the audience, many of whom, it was said, “were of Irish blood. The Irish Question. The Irish question also entered into the arrangements for the speaking program of the governor. An announcement that Prof. N. Irving Fisher of Yale university, a strong league advocate and one of a p which once memorialized congress to refrain from acting in the Irish free- dom dispute, would speak tonight, Irought objections from Irish sympa- thigers. After conferences with Gover- mor Cox, Mayor Fitzgerald and others, Professor Fisher offered to strike his ad- fress from the program, to avoid possible unpledsantness. Professor Fisher an- mounced, however, that many college pro- fessors and other “progressives” and “in- ts” soon would organize to work for the league and for Governor Cox's Blaction. Among those he named was Charles W. Eliot, former president of Harvard university, Theodore Warburg, former minister to Beigium, and Hamil- ton Holt and Rabbi Wise of New York, he said, also were in sympathy with the for a new league organization. Governor Cox's speeches to all audi- ences here except at Allingtown hospital were replete with references to republi- “:h are trying to buy the presidential election in order that a favored few, father than the average man, may have his interests considered first.” the gov- ernor charged at the democratic picnic, he addressed standing on a table o ed with used crockery. eRpeating mm statements in part, the continued : . e . g Mook o theconsternation of those on he Other side, I am going to continue that sore spot unmtil the 2d of Maard Names of Men in Ohlo, “I have heard names of men in Ohlo vho have sent contributions, and it has sputes. n administration favorable to the use of the bayonet in strikes.” Never Used Soldiers for Strikes. The candidate reiterated that as gov- ernor he had never used soldiers or * a shot” in any industrial controversy, but had used the Golden Rule successfully, and he urged its application to the na- tion's industrial problems. Public opinion can and should settle strikes, he declared. Bankers Contrlbutors. Bankers seeking to ‘“emasculate” the federal reserve act, Governor Cox also asserted, are contributing to the repub- lican fund. “Don’t think that thees contributions are being made because of patriotigm,’ he said. “A great many of the men: who are writing the largest checks remained at homé making fortunes while the American boys were overseas. “They haev their eyes on the federal reserve act, which they fought, and they now have a distinct plan for change by making bankers only eligible for member- ship on administration boards.” In advocating the league, Governor Cox made a new text of impressions during his visit to the tubercular soldiers’ hospital. There he went through all of the wards, shaking hands and = talking with the afflicted former service men in all stages of the disease, discussing thei war experiences and offering’ cheering 'words. On the hospital lawn he address- =d convalescents and hospital attendants, oraising the youths “who risked their all that the nation might live.” As a result of the emotions caused by what 1 have seen here,” said the gover- nor, “I shall go away stronger in my resolve to give everything that is in me in_our effort to make war impossible.” He told later audiences of his hospital isit and declared that “he was inspired to make war as impossible as it is hu- nanly possible to make. It.” . The world's civilization and. economic safety, Governor Cox = declared, depend upon_suceess of the league. “The time has come,” he continified, “to put the house of civilization in order. The hers of America are going to r g ster their verdict in behalf of the leagu.. “The issues of this campaign are not political. They involve the progress and Tresperity of America and the peace of Aumerica and the world as well” Against “Senatorial Oligarchy. Reiterating that his fight was against the republican leaders—the “senatorial oligarciiy”—and mot the republican rank aia file, Governor Cox continued : rst of all, the democracy of the na- ton intends to keep the faith. We intend n our administration no tto forget the Loys who sleep overseas.” Urzing international disarmament as a means of meeting nations’ obligations, and also as a measure for world peace, Governor Cox Baid: “The high moral purpose of the nations s *iis: That all nations shall stop carry- irg conceuled weapons, that their- repre- scntatives shall sit at a table and agree o stop the building of armament and turn their resources to industrial pur- poses.” ‘inernor Cox inveighed against “this senscless, needless, inhuman competition in e buying of armaments.” and pre- di'ed that cessation would reduce taxes in all countries and also aid greatly in tuelr immediate war rehablitation “senatorial oligarchy” was fre- quently attacked by the candidate, and he asserted again that the republican leacers were “attempting,to take posses- sion of the presidency” after having nom- inzted one of their own.number., “I brin gthe cause of democracy to you” he sald in a fling at Senator Harding, “and do not ask you to come to our front porch in Ohio.” Jealousy of President Wilson and the democratic administration was largely the cause, Governor Cox said, of the re- publican leaders’ opposition to the league. Referring to the democratic war adminis- tration, te governor added “If you would search the heart of the average republican politician, you will find resentment because the Almighty God left him- sitting ‘on the bleachers.” _ The governor told his audiences, which included delegations from Rhode Island and other nearby points, that “the hosts | of democracy are marching forward to certain victory this fall” He urged the defeat of Senator Brandegee, republican, of Connecticut, becatise of the senator's opposition to the league. Disparages Harding. In his final alidress tonight, Governdr Cox commented sarcastically on the !‘lal?mnls made by Senator Harding, Chairman Hays and Treasurer Upham with reference to his contribution charges and also declared that 83 men attended the meeting at Chicago when the contribution quota lists, made public at_Pittsburgh, were circulated. “Senator Harding endorses the plan (of quotas) and states his knowledge of the facts” said Governor Cox, reading from the republican literature, “that the organization is to cover every state and every county. Then he states that he knows nothing about it and that Hays and Upham are runhing the campaign. 1 am disposed to agree with him. There are many things being done mow by’ the crowd surrounding Senator Harding of which he is ignor git apparently and it he should become president many other things would be done by the crowd and he would not know anything more about them than he says he does about the contributions, “I said that the campaign fund would not be less than $15,000,000. I renew the charge. Mr. Upham says that the quota list was ‘phony.’ The senatorial inves- tigating committee can eall some of the men who were present that evening in Chicago and some of tHem will tell the into my hands nor yours.” Attacked Alleged Secrecy. Attacking the alleged seerecy imposed on recipients of the “Bulletin,” Governor cen a singular- coincidence that MANy [Cox said that some idea of probable con- ho have written large checks are the | ripytions could be gained when it was ame men who visited the governor's of- | congidered that there are 10,000 post of- at Columbus and wanted me to ordeT | fices iy @ . country and that the quota ut our soldiers in strike sand industrial |ligt totard $8,145,000 for only ffty-one These men are seeking to buy | cities, ed evidence last night,” the quotas were being “I also fur: W he added, “thut over-subscribed.” The contribution question, date declared, is a matter of tional honesty and desency. “No small group of men having poten- tial millions and millions behind _them should be permitted to buy a govern- mental underholt” said the governor suggesting that republican sucess, in view of the campaign contribution dis- closures, would weaken public confidence in an honest readjustment of affairs dur- ing the next four years. “The senatorial committee knows how large the campaign fund is going to be” said the speaker. “Perhaps 5000 busi ness men of large interests also know. I ask you: Will an administration elect- ed under corrupt auspices receive the confidence of the people?” Governor Cox urged the selection to the senate of Homer S. Cummings, Con- necticut’s national . committeeman and, characterizing Senator Brandegee . as “one of Senator Lodge's major gener- als,” declared that the republican sena- tor was “entitled to retirement.” Mr. Cummings, in a brief address re- ceivilg much applause, said that al- though accused often of being the mouthpiece of President Wilson he still supported the presilent and, he said, he also would stand with “the next presi- dent, Gov. Cox: Address by Irving Fisher. Professpe Irving Fisher also addressed the meeting, which overflowed the thea- ter, and he was applauded frequently for his support of the league. He declared that a majority of members of the league to enforce peace would support the democratic ticket despite the an- nouncement of Former President Taft, its president that he would support Sen- ator Harding. Governor Cox also refer- red to Mr. Taft and said he “felt sorry for him, whose intelligence tells him the candi- ‘plain, na- Governor Cox ped here over ni and will leave. eatly. tomorrow ‘morning for a round of entertainment and confer- ences in New oYrk and to make two ad- dresses, one at a hotel luncheon and an- other at tomorrow afternoon’s police fleld day at Gravesend. AND WHISTLES SUFFRAGE BELLS TO WELP, CELEBRATION Ha#tford, -Conn., Aug. 2 tion of the federal suffrage amendment will be observed by the wom of Con- necticut on Saturday with the ringing of bells and the blowing of whistles in every city and town in the state. Lieut. Gov- ernor Clifford B. Wilson, chairman of the men’s council of one hundred for Connecticut, wrote to the mavors of the twenty cities In the state Thursday, ask. ing them to observe the occasion. In furtherance of the movement the Con- necticut Woman Suffrage association vot | in touch with its count; organizations and through them passed the word to every town In the state urging the Sat- urday noon celebration. A special re- quest has been made for the ringing of church bells. Tt was decided by the National American Woman Suffrage as- sociation s ral months ago that when. the 36th state ratified, a country-wide celebration would be held at high noon the Saturday following the final action and in all parts of the country arrenge- ments have been wmade for an observance worthy of the event. Connecticut suffra- mists will have their real celebration at| their convention in November. but for the present, according to Miss Katherine Luddington, president of the Suffraze as- soclation, are too busy with political matters to devote much time to arrange- ments. Ratifica- LEGISLATURE TO MEET TO ENABLE WOMEN TO VOTE Hartford, Conn., Aug. 27.—Gov. Hol- comb anounced today that he would sum- mon, the, Connecticut general assembly to meet in’ special session here September 14. The legislature will be asked to amnd_ the election laws of the state so that full participation of the women of the state in the national election may be had. Since the biennial sessions of the gen- eral assembly have been held ther have been only two special sessions both call- ed by Governor Holcomb, the first which lasted a single day on September 12th 1916, and on March 19, 1918, ‘with ad- journment the next day. At both these sessions the. legislative leaders held the business to that outlined by the gov- ernor in his call and message. The special session in March, 181, enacted a law which made it possible for electors absent from the state in the military and naval service of the United States to- cast and have counted their ballots in the election of that year. Mili- tary operations, however made it impos- sible for a commission to go abroad to collect the soldfer vote. TEN CASES OF LIQUOR SEIZED AT STAMFORD Stamford, Conry, Auguft 27.—Ten cases of Whiskey and gin addresses to the Newport Reading Room, Newport, R. I, were seized by prohibition enforce- ment’ officers today, and a touring car confiscated. The men arrested gave the names of James K. Behan, 39 Amandale avenue and Maryin J.

The Red command ailed to instill in the bolshevik troops enough courage or courage or energy to resist the Poles, who after a few hours of almost desultory fighting took possession of the Ossovetz forts, opened a passage across the Bobr marsh- es and reached the Augustomo lakes east of the Bast Prussian forts, thus gaining command of the whole of the southern side of that frontier as far as Augustowo. Military observers here say the bolsheviki have available 30.000 to 40,000 men who escaped from the bat- tle of Warsaw; but that little can be expected from the interior of Tnasia, where mutinees are already reported among the troop$ ordered tw Lite front.

Although not en masse, longshoremen of various nationalities rushed from the holds of vessels at the command of their Irish comrades. More than 250 negroes fell into line, A little band of women pickets ‘ in spired ‘the strike during the noon lunch hour. They stationed themselves outside the White Star Line pier to await the arrival of the Baltie, from which Arch- bishop Mannix was removed. When the Baltic docked the womgen held up a placard reading “When Man- nix goes to Ireland let the Baltic leave New . York,” and also displayed other signs and banners. During the lunch hour the longshom- men who had started work on the Baltic decided not to go back, and accompan- ied by the women pickets went into the holds of the other nearby liners, Cano- pic, Olympic, and Celtic, where they quickly induced hundreds of allied work- ers to join them.

With cries of ‘Get out of there” ad “Let’s go,” the strikers would race into the holds of a steamship.
