MARDIN GGIVES WOMEN HIS VIEWS ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS Marion, Ohio, Sept. 15.—Urging the adoption of a new proposal for preven- tion fo war instead of the league of na- , Senator Harding in a message to- to republican women's organizatio women's Harding and Coolidge clubs asked that we “preserve our town national at home and not check it at Gen The message which was addressed to Mrs. Ray F. Zucker, president of the Womep's Harding and Coolidgs Club of New York City, and sent to all women's organizations, also asserted that “Amer- lcan women must realize that the league of nations as presented by a democratic administration, v\ilde not mean peac for us, but would mean American boys living in army tents overseas and asked to in causes in which they would ave ne heart.” The message was intended to set forth to the women voters the candi- date’s views on their entrance into pol- itics, wh ythey should enroll in the re- publican party and a brief outline of \he party's pesition on the league of na- tions. Senator Harding sald he expects in the near future to make a comprehen- sive discussion of the league of nations from the women's viewpoint in a front porch speech. He intimated this may b one of his most important front porch Mddresses.

But the women have no voice in the dispo- sition of these soldiers. “Now by the triumph gnstice, the women will have a voice in the disposition of our soldiers. “The republican party is ready to let the women decide whether the United States shall enter into obligations which will make her sons liable to be ordered by foreign powers to foreign soils to set- tle foreign disputes.’ this of a supreme COX CONTINUES HIS ARGUMENT FOR L. OF N, Gov. Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 15.—Plans for an international court under the {league of nations as reported from Paris, were advanced by Governor Cox, in his Utah campaign today as a telling argument, for the league. They further confound Senator Harding and other re- publican opponents, the democratic pres- idential candidate declared in addresses here tonight in the great Mormon ta- bernacle, and earlier today at Ogden. Reiterating that the republican league critics had failed to offer any substitute and had expected that Elihu Root would bring forth a new plan, Govergor Cox made the following statement on' the re- ported court outline: “Today we learn hat the commission, on which Mr. Root 5 a member, has made its report establishing a world court for the adjudication of questions aceording to rules of law. We find, how- ever, that this court is a part of the league covenant; that Mr. Root, and his colleagues, were appointed by the coun- cil of the league; that they made their report to the council of the league and this report is now to be submitted to the various members of the league and theirs of the league. . Furthermore, it appears that the judges of the court are to be chosen by the cotncil and the as- sembly of the league and their salaries are to be paid by the league. “It is apparent, therefore, that this court of international justice, which Mr. Harding hoped would be substituted for the league of nations, now appears as an essential part of the league and one which without the league would have no standing whatever, “This limb having been cut off, Mr. Harding sitting on the end, we ' may confidently look forward to another frantic_effort from Marion in an attempt to confuse the public ang to keep. both Senator Johmson, Who & against any kind of a league, and Elihu Root, who is not only for the league, but has per- formed valiant services for the existing league for the party candidate.’ The league together wWith progressiv- ism, were, the backbone of all of Gov- ernor Cox's addresses today. He deliv- ered five beginning early this morning at Pocatello Idaho, with later addresses at Logan and Brigham, Utah, en route to £den and Salt Lake City. A_demonstrative welcome was enjoy- ed by the candidate all through Utah shotgun.

LEGISLATURE’S RATIFICATION OF SUFFRAGE WAS LEGAL Attorney General Healy Opines Such Ac- tion Does Not Conflict With the Con- stitution, Hartford, Conn., Sept. 15—Women of Connecticut are eligible to vote in town elections to be heid the first Monday in October, according to an opinion sent to Secretary of State Frederick L. Perry to- night by Frank E. Healy, attorney gen- eral of Connecticut. In his statement Attorney General Healy also officially expressed his opinion that there is no provision in the state constitution which prevents the state legislature from tak- ing up any measures it wishes to at a special session. Secretary of State Perry asked the at- torney general if women can register to- morrow, be made electors on Saturday and vote for town officers in October. In his statement, Mr. Healy reviewed the progress of the 19th amendment through | the legislature of Tennessee and that it is now the law of the nation. “Having reached the conclusion that the 19th amendment was ratified by the held action of Tennessee,” he said, “it hardly seems to me to he necessary to go very fully int othe question of the legality of ratification by this state yesterday. Most of the states have constitutional provi- sion that when a special session of the legislature is called no other business can be transacted other than that named in the call. No such provision is contal in the constitution of this stat ned CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD OIL STOCK INVESTORS New York, Sept —Conspiracy to defraud oil stock investors of $120,000 is charged against one corporation and nine individuals in a federal indictment re- turned last August and unsealed here to- day.

That the “same crowd” of republican leaders which former President velt fought in 1912 now are in control of the republican party was stated to ev- ery Utah audience by the governor, in stressing that he stood for progress ra- ther Than reaction and in characterizing Senator Harding as the ‘candidate of reaction.” In urging the league, Governor Cok asked his audiences where Senator Harding now stood upon the league and in absence of replies, the governor to re- vated applause, declared : ou don't know because know himself.” That the sepator has changed front frequently on/the league issue was re- iterated by the governor. He also de- clared that Semator Harding was “sum- moned hefore. the senate oligarchy.” At Chicago prior to his nomination ana “asked questions.” Declaring that these questions probably did not deal with the Weather the governor added that “big business works in devious, insidious ways to secure a reserved seat in gov- ernment.” That a new senator would be elected from Utah, where Semator Smoot, re- publican, is seeking re-election, he dom't was a statement of the - governor's which brought cheers from scveral audiences The candidate also assailed the republi- can senators whom, he said, “had driv- en the president into a bed of sickness and kept him there a year and a half.” In discussing the league and interna- tional court, Governor Cox .again com- pared the league to the Monroe Doctrine and stated that “not a single shot had been fired in a hundred years” by this nation to maintain the latter. Moral force is the principal power of the league, he s: Mer: who discuss a substitute fo league, the governor asserted, ° know what they are talking about.” “The international court” he tinued, to his Ogden audience, of the league, the supreme court of the league, but without the emoposite force of the na- tions of the world if it is necessary to apply it to the decisions of this great tribunal.

At the tabernacle, where he was in- troduced by Thomas N.
