SENATOR ASSERTS.

WASH I NlJTON, 1» C., Aug. 2. Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, who led the
fight in the Senate for ratification of
the peace treaty withoW reservations, re-
turned to Washington today declaring that
Oovi raw Cox i- for I he Wiliou Utt< »i
pretatitin of the covenant and that 1h*uio-
.ratio National Chairman White is mis-
taken in pronouncing the league not the
paramount Issue.
"Of course, the League of Nations will
be the paramount issue, because that is
what the speakers will have to talk most
about and it is whtft the people want
to hear," said the Senator "Von couldn't
get an audience (<■ sit still for long and
listen to a speech about progrenslvlsm.
People are not interested in such ab
■tract things, but they are interested in
the Louguc of Nations, although i a?.
■ibly ne#l so much so in Ohio ns in other
places."
"As a practical matter, do you think
that even if «»overnor Co\ is elected,
after makiny the league a paramount t*-
BUe, if he does so, that the peace treaty
can fie ratified I v the Senate unless there
is a very complete and decided overt lira
of the balance of power in that body?**
he was asked.

••Cox ban always been a supporter of
Wilson on the League »d! Nations. of
course when he became a candidate h»
suggested vouie reservations, but he can
really point back and show that he is
a friend of the leuffug, Hut he must hav*
the riyrht to express his views in his
own way and wo must^not expect him
to accept Wilson's language. The Presi-
dent himself would not expect that."'
Senator Hitchcock has not seen tJover-
rior Cox siuce the Utters brief visit to
Washington, but despite this, he has
"some pretty good eviderce" that tin*
I>eiuocratic candidate Ifiis lost none of
the enthusiasm he has displayed for the
WUsonian league immediately after his
conference with the President. That evi-
dence is the fact that the (*overnor Vis
designated him to debate for him the
league issue against a Republican op-
ponent to he chosen l>v Senator Harding.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 2. Further

of all open top earn, particularly thosw
londed with eoul, coke, and lumber. These
emergency demurrage charges of $10 a

difficult for speculators to boost prices
to abnormal levels.

GAINKHVILLIO, Tex Aug. 22.—Among
the resolutions adopted by the Cooke Coun-
ty Hcmmrutlc convention Saturday was the
following:
"We endorse' the candidacy of 1'at Neff
for (ioveriior of Texas and coinui -nd him j
to the Democratic voters of Cooke County.,
"We regret and condemn the attacks
heretofore made by .1 W. Halley upon the
Di niocratic party, and especially upon the
Administration ol' Woodrow Wilson. These
attacks, iu our judgment, were uncalled for
and give aid and comfort to our political
enemies and lessen the chances of success
of our, l>#r&(y in the coming National elec-
tion.
• It is our judgment that J. W. Bailey is
not a resilient of Texas nor eligible to the
office, of (Jovernor and we believe he 's
not a resident of this town or county, and
has no lawful right to take part iu our
pi iiuarh s or elections."
