Referring to the senator's Des Moines speech, denouncing the present league, Go x declared in an addres: he's against the leagu I'm for the league.” BORAH ENDORSES HARDING'S STAND ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS Hartford, Oct. 7.—Senator William E. Rorah, of Idaho in two addresses here tonight gave his complete endorsement of Senator Warren G. Harding’s Des Moines address in which the republican presidential nominee definitely dectared for thy rejection of the Wilson league of nations. Taking issue with the President Wilso contention of made in his letter to the public this week, the senator said that congress, under the league, could not refuse to declare war when the ter- ritorial integrity of a member nation was assailed without breaking its con- tract under Article X and bringing dis- honor upon the cotntry. He also dif- fered with Professor Irving Fisher's published article that the league pro- vided for disarmament. Referring to Governor Cox, lre said that no'man who thought six times as much of Great Brit- he_did_of America should - be &fdent of the United States. stated in an article in a newspaper the bther day that this league of nations provided for disarmamont. 1 feel con- strained to differ with him, and I want| to call your attention to the exact lan- guage—I want to sce whether You think it provides for disarmament or not. “One thing i8 certain.” he said, “if you had read the speech delivered by Sena- tor Harding today in the great state of Towa, you would know that so far as Senator Harding fs concerned, he wiil never give his influence as president f the United States to join any league wihch impairs in the slightest the inde- pendence or fhe sovereignty of the Amer- ican republic. “He wants peace just as much as any living man, and he will do anything to secure peace that Is within reason, but he will not, as he says in this speech, turn over to a foreign tribunal of a for- eign power the means or the method by which we shall protect our own rights, or by which we shall perform our fduties and obligations: and he says that no American boy will be sent to the wars of Europe until the people of+ the United States as a_people determine Whether or not they should be sent.” It was Senator Borah's last Conneeti- cut speech for the present, but he will re- turn foF -three mgre speeches at the end of the campalgn in_support of the re- electfon of Senator Frank B. Brandegee, another “irreconcilable” opponent of the league. X Senator Borah answered many ques- tions tonight coucerning the league. “If the republican party is put into power this year will this country go into a league of some sort or stay out alto- gether?” the senator was asked. “So long as I am in the senate what- ever power I have will be contributed to keeping this ‘republic out of any leagu with any Furopean or Asfatic powers, Senator Borah replied. “And I venture to say that I know of another man who feels the same way, and that man is F. B. Brandegee of Connecticut. The senator was escorted from New Haven by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb. He will leave tomorrow for Maryland. COX TALKS FOR LEAGUE IN KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE Nashville, Tennessee, Oct. 7.—The league of nations was the main theme of Governor Cox of Ohlo, in his travels to- day through Kentucky and Tennessee. “I favor going in,” the democratic presidential candidate repeated vigorous- Iy in a day's campaigning of eight speeches, closing with a large meeting here tonight in the Ryman Auditorium. With_vigor refréshed apparently, Gov ernor Cox advanced What he termed “practical” as well as moral arguments for American membership in the league. Reiterating that it was a ‘“pledge” to Americans who participated in the war, the govetnor declared that its disarma- ment provisions could save the nation $465,000,000 next ' year. The league renew European credit for purchase of American products, he stated. ‘Next year, if we go into the league of nations,” said the governor, “we can save $465,000,000 in our navy alone. Do you know what you can Qo with $465, 0000007 You can reclaim twenty-three million acres of arid land in the west, T am in favor of stopping.the building of battleships and of reclaiming arid lands and of giving every soldier hoy a farm and a home of his own, if he wants to GRANULATED SUGAR CUT TO 1038 CENTS IN NEW YORK New York, Oct. 7.-~THe Federal Sugar Refining Company today reduced - the price of refined sugar one-half cent a pound, to 11 cents, a new low record for the year.

RAILROAD FROM BAY TO SEVEN ISLANDS PLANNING HUDSOX Montreal, Oct. 7.—Launching of an in- dustrial project, involving the building of a railroad from Hudson Bay to Seven Islands, the erection of a number of pulp and paper mills along its route, and the creation of a huge steel piant at Chicoutimi and Quebec is announced in a Quebec dispatch to the Herald today. Leaders in the prolect are Lord Burn- ham, proprietor of the Lond Daily Tele- graph, and Lord Desborough, who came to Canada to attend the congress of the Chamber of Comerce in Toronto. road matters were in the experimental stage and that the people should have the right to determine their policies through congress. : On this question the governor said: “During the temporary lull in active campaigning I have been giving inten- sive study to the railroad -situation. Through the great grain flelds of the we stwe found,universal disquietude, car shortage and transportation difficulties in general. Upon my return. to Ohio T found that because of th¢ same condi- tions tRat state, great producer of coal, faces a potentially ‘sérious cdal short- age. “In ‘my studyof T FaTIFoaT problem I have conferred wXh representetives of the former railroad - administration, wWith membors of the inter state com- merce commission, with managing heads and traffic managers of railroads and With spokesmen for the organized rail- way employes. T am disposed to total- Iy disagree with the expression of Sena- tor Harding, who in_his_speech of Sep- tember 13 seems to lend entire approval to the existing status quo. My opinion is that the matter is entirely in an ex- perimental state. ' T believe that the people of a_democracy have the right to determine their own' policies and_when these policies are expressed through their representatives in congress, T shall do all in my power to render .them effectual. Until this expression is had, however nothing of a definitely permanent na- | ture can be accomplished.” That “reactionary” newspapers were engaged in stiifing news of the cam- palgn was a charge repeated by Gov- ernor Cox, who sald “millions and mil- lions of dollars had heen used to pur- chase democratic and progressive pa- pers” He asserted that the plan was conceived about two years ago when, he dded, that “the conspiracy against the lization of the world” in opposition league was begun. “Big busi- et to the ness” aided the newspaper movement, he declared. HARDING SAYS T. §. TROOPS HAVE NO BUSINESS IN GERMANY Des Moines, Towa, Oect. 7 -America= troops have no business in Germany, fenator Warren G. Harding declared here today in response to a question from his eudience. Referring to a list of questions on the 12ague of nations, submitted by the Towa Democratic State committee, ' Senator Harding said he did not want fo be in the sttitude of a nominee answering ques- tions when the party - platform had vtated the party's principles. “But T want to say to my democratic ‘riends,” he said, “that before they ques- tion me, let them consecrate themselves to the welfare of the United States and vot that of the old world.” g Taking up one of the questions about | separate peace with Germany, Senator Warding reiterated that he had mno i such a step would be necessary. To nother question asking whether he be- lieved the league could call us ints wa without congressional action he rep.ced ‘Certainly not. ‘But if we entered tle ‘:ague and assumed the obligations of the covenant of Paris, and the courcil of the 'eague would decide we shoull conirih- wte our 80Ms to carry on war under the covenant, then congress would be obliz- wl to send.them or we would b» guilty 1f the grossest dishonesty.” The crowd greeted the reply with a hurst of cheering and then some one in *he audience asked: “How about. the boys Who are still in iermany?” - The cheering was renewed when tre “ominee replied : They haven't any business there. “And just as soon as we declare * a formal peace they can be brought home,” he added. “How about Ireland?” yelled hody. “I am happy to say,” Le renlied, “that I think Great Dritain is approaching the solution of the Irish question. I woula no more tell Great Britain what to do with Ireland than I would permi: Grea: Pritain to tell us what we should do with ‘h> Philippines. And I would not liave the United States in any capacity don.in- rtéd by Great Britain.” some- of Whiskey FromBond In the City of New York and Parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania—Claim Plain “Fraud.” Washington, Oct. 7.—Withdrawal of whiskey from bonded warehouses in tue city of New York and parts of New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania has been stopped temporarily, Prohibition Commissioner Kramer announced today. The action was taken, he said, in an effort to check il- licit sale of liquor in the sections which had been most “troublesome” to’ enforce- ment officers. Secrecy has surrounded the orders, is- sued several weeks ago, and they were made public today only When results of the “locked doors” had been noted, The commissioner said they had brought about a great reduction in the outstanding stocks of whiskey in the hands of whole- ealers, druggists and others. Much of this quantity had been obtained under subterfuge and ‘plain” fraud, he saia, and it was planned to cut off the “supply as a means of checking selling. Mr. Kramer said the ban would be maintained “for 4 while” longer he said A. L. Dalrymple, district prohibi- tion commissioner ‘at Chicago, had _re- quested that a.similar order be issued for the Chicago districy but the prohibition bureau had not yet determined on a course in that city. While reduction in illicit traffic, in com- munities where the ban has been on, had been undeniably great, the commis- sioner said, it had not controlted the employment of fraudulent methods of ob- taining_whiskey from bonded warehous- es. He added that restrictions on the withdrawals could not be apploed to al- cohol because of its use for industrial purposes and that this source of distilled spirits had continued on ‘“the bootleg market.” INVESTIGATING AN ALLEGED FUND OF $37,010 FOR COX IN 1916 Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 7.—Use of dummies to conceal the source of contributions ro a $37,000 campaign fund used in the gu- begnatorial elgction of Governor Cox, the democratic presidential candidate in 1916 was charged in testimony here today be- fore the genate sub-committee composed of Senator Pomerene, democrat, Ohio, ana Senator Edge, republican, New Jersey.

These associations he said were the Forward Looking Association, the Independent Voters' Learue and the League Hor Protection and Preservation of the Workmen's Compensation Law.
