Bolshevik reaction against Polish

present by Gen. Weygand who is
credited with having directed the de-
fence of the Polish capital and hurled
the Soviet armies back from that city
according to the "Warsaw co-respondent
of the Petit Parisien.
Gen. Weygand is quoted as saying
he Poles should sot advance so far
eastward but scould entrench them-
selves along a line that can easily be

sist any effort on the part of tha
Soviet Russians to bring overwhelm-
ing forces against them in future.

pi some political circles there are
Indications of an increasing feeling
that the negotiations may come to
nothing although there have been
official announcements to the con-
trary. The militarists are advocating a
continuance of the war to compel the
Soviets to seek terms and the change

tendency to encourage the militarist

The National Democrats are Insist-

Russians fired on the Poles and that
the soviet forces also are using ma-

Somebody Played A Joke

BW YORK. Aug. 27 Will H.

Democratic presidential nominee
sought to prove that Republicans
were conspiring to buy the presi-
dency declared that" Mr. Cox had
such Intimate knowledge of the
wasting of millions In aircraft pro-
duction in his state during the war
that he "dreamed in millions."
After studying Mr. Cox's speech
Mr. Hays issued the following state
ment at Republican Headquarters:
"Of course candidate Cox failed to
prove as he has failed to Drove and
will fail to prove his charges. This
Is simply because the charges are

while now candidate Cox says fS-

"He attempts to prove this by
quoting from the official bulletin of

workers and from an alleged quota
sheet which he claims Indicates the

HUGE REPUBLICAN 10
pTTTSBDRG Pa. Aug. 27. Gov.
I James M. Cox in the most vigor-
ous speeeh of his presidential
campaign so far laid his cards on the
table in an effort to prove that the
Republicans are raising "a 915.009000
slush fund" for theptffpose of "buy-
ing an underbold on the government-"
Throughout his address delivered in

cratic candidate declared that the evi-
deno was "proof conclusive" of his
accusations.

whole controversy. Where does the
line begin and end between the ex-
penditures for a national and a state
UcketT Usually the political mass
meetings have included speakers for
all candidates and literature posters
have often embraced national and
state tickets.
How About State Quota?
Plainly. Gov. Cox rests on the
charge tha the Republicans planned
a fund of 15.0Ofl.000 for the whole
campaign and that the national or-
ganisation set for the Individual
states huge quotas only a Dart of
which would be certified to as hav-
ing been spent for the national ticket.
What is suggested among the poli-
ticians Is vthat Gov Cox has got
hold of .the quotas of the states and
that if New Tork was set at 2000-
000 and Illinois at 700.000 the total
of all the states would easily make
215000.00. Mr Upham insists how-
ever tbsz the total funds under those
calculations would be In the neighbor-
hood of 7500.000. Of course all
these sums were estimated and lit-
tle money has been actually received
by either the Democratic or Republi-
can national committees thus far

Upham Declares List Bead
by Governor "Phony";
Budget Ib $3000000.
CHICAGO. I1L. Auff. 27. "Gov. James
L M- Cox's schedule of Republican
campaign iuna quotas iu 01
principal cities is a phony list which
I never heard of before" Fred W.
TJpham. Republican national treas-
urer declared today on his return
from New York-
"Somebody must have played a
joke on Gov. Cox" Mr. TJpham de-
clared. The Republican national committee
has never apportioned any quotas
to cities. Mr. TJpham said. The only
quotas assigned he added were given
to states the money to be used for
both state and nalocal campaign
purposes. Bach state committee then
apportioned its quota as It thought
best Mr. upham said.
Denying charges that vast amounts
had been collected or were being col-
lected the Republican treasurer ex-
hibited a statement showing collec-
tions up to this time total 11017.-
256.32 of which New York state. In-
cluding the city of New York gave
5225292. he said.
He reiterated the statemen of
chairman Will p. Hays that the
budget planned for the national cam-
paign totalled slightly in excess of
13006.000 and denied Gov. Cox's
charge that he was planning to raise
in excess of 515000000.
Gov. Cox's statement of alleged
quotas in some cases assigned the en-
tire quota for state and national nor-
poses to a single city and in other
cases tne amount ceredlted to one
city needed th9 entire state Quota the
treasurer said. He cited the gover-
nor's figures for New York city at
$2006006 and said this was the quota
lor ine enure state or New York for
both state and national campaign pur-
poses. The amount credited Chicago
in the governor's table. 17SO.ftfto i
SSG.000 more than the entire onota. of
the state of Illinois he said
Treasurer Draws Distinction.
"Gov. Cox does not a Tin res-is t th
difference between a auota. and a
budget. said Mr. TJpham. The quota
is assessed on the basis of what we
estimate would a fair share for each
state and is nlaced hleh enone-h to
allow for a large shrinkage in the
amount actually obtained.
"The plan of the financial cam-
paign was laid on lines designed to
get away from large collections from
the nrlntfoal centers of tha conntrv.
In every nrevlous camnalcn of both
parties not less than 75 percent of
all funds raised came from New York.
"The plan also this year takes Into
consideration the fact that business
men dislike to be bothered'by several
solicitors. We combined the seeds for
both national and state campaigns
and solicited the entire amount at
one time.
"In many -states. New Mexico. Ari-
zona Tennessee Kentucky and North
Carolina for example the entire quota
is to be spent for state purposes and
nothing for the national campaign.
To Appear Before Committee.
"After the nomination of our candi-
date the financial committee prepared
a careful budget of expenditures for
the national campaign. This budget
as already stated by chairman Hays
amounts to a little more than $2808-
000. There Is no mystery about the
operations of the financial depart-
Tnent. Monday In my testimony I
shall submit to the senate committee
the plan of campaign the quota as-
sessed each .state the amount col-
lected from each state for both state
and national purposes and the foil
list of subscribers which in no case
will show subscriptions of more than
S1000 by any individual."

being given free reign.
