.lames M. Cox of Ohio formally ac

nominal Ion and set forth tho issues
upon which he will go to the voters
for elecllon.
Ills speech was full of direct cam
paign challenges to the republicans.
Cox's position Is regarded as moro
liberal than that of President Wilson.
While It follows progressive Wllsonlun
lines, Its lone Indicates Cox's convic
tion that he Is now the real leader of
tint party und responsible to It alone.
He pledged ratification of the peace
treaty, Including the league covenant,
with nondestructive) interpretations, If
theso nre necessary to reach an agree
ment, us "the first duty" of the new
administration. This declaration caus
ed the huge assemblage to Jump to Its

Cox said the "senatorial cabal"
mentioning Its members "under a mis
leading exterior, planned und plotted
with bigoted zeal" to obstruct the work
of peace and with "political expediency
dwarfed every consideration either of
the public Interest or the maiuteminco
of the lienor of a great political party,"
Ills opponent's plan for a separate
peace with Germany, he said, "would
not only be u piece of bungling diplo
macy, but plain, unadulterated dishon
esty."
For two hours tho governor kept
tho throng cheering as he gave his
campaign polities, He made the league

RATES TO HIKE PRICES.
Prediction Made It Will Drain Dollar a
Day From Family Budget.
Washington, D. O. Increased freight
rates will moan the adding of moro
than $1 per day to tho cost of living
of tho nverago American family, nc
cordlng to tho Jatest computation of
statistical experts.
This llgure is based on tho rule laid
down by Walter D. Hlnes, former di
rector general of railroads, that to add
5 cents to tho freight rnto menus an
addition of 25 cents to tho cost of tho
commodities which must move by
freight.
Multiplying tho estimated additional
rovenue by five- and milking a deduc
tion for passenger traffic, It Is figured'
that the per cnplta cost of the increas
es will bo close to $78 per year. On
tho bnsla of tho average family of five
persoiiH tho cost of each family would
ho $.'100 per year, or 51 per day.

Suspicious thnt tho soviet Uusslnns
wero not acting in good faith when
they ottered to negotiate nn armistice
with the Poles wero well founded. No
sooner hud the Poles reached the place
of meeting than the Russians broko
off the negotiations und demanded
that another discussion bo opened at
Minsk. All the tlnio their armies con
tinued tho fierce attnek designed to
cut off the Dunzlg corridor und to cai
ture Warsaw. At this writing the for
mer purt of that program bus been
temporarily checked by Polish suc-
Cesses, hut tho Intter purt is about to
Me carried out. With the red urmy
within a few miles of Warsuw, the
civilian Inhabitants of thnt city were
In flight und the government was pie
paring to movo to.Crucow. The Rus
sians bud captured the grent fortress
of llrcst-Lltovsk and had crossed the
Hug river northwest of that place, ad
vancing in echelon In sucli a way as
to force the Poles to evacuate the
strong forts west of Brcst-Lltovsk and
eventually to drlvo them out of Wnr
suw If succor did not come. Further
north, sovlot troops that had crossed
the Narow river were defeated, and
In the south, where they threatened
Lemberg, they were being held and
even pushed back In some places. '
Since It was agreed that only out
side aid could save Poland from be
ing crushed by tho bolshevlkl. the
main question was the source, and na
ture of that old. Premier Lloyd
George, placed In n most uncomfort
able position, was said to have called
Krussln and KnmlneiV, the soviet rep
resentatives, to conference and to
havo demanded that the advance Into
Poland bo Immediately and uncondi
tionally stopped, e-yJH) before the sign
ing of an iirmlstlcer elsesGreat Itrlt
nln would declare war. If this was his
determination, It was reached despite
tho views of u considerable part of
his cabinet, Including himself, that
peace with Uussla must bo forced by
economic rather than military meas
ures. Others of tho ministers, lead by
Winston Churchill, were said to favor
unrelenting warfare on the bolshevlkl
and the extension of unlimited aid to
Poland. There was a rumor In Lon
don that the allies hud determined to
send six divisions to Poland, presum
ably some of the occupational forces
from Germany. Also, the members of
the supreme council of allied umbos
sailors were hurriedly culled from
their vamtlons to tneet In Purls.
The reply of Moscow to Lloyd
George, according to the London
Times, wns a refusal to hnlt the bol
shevik advance on the ground that
the army -hud been promised the loot
ing or Warsaw. The Russians said
thoy wero prepared to offer Poland
complete Independence and wider
boundaries, but that they Insisted on
a separate peace with the Poles.
The allies realize that In sending an
nrmy to the rescuo of tho Poles they
may be compelled to violate tho neu
trality which Germany has proclaimed,
and the sincerity of Berlin Is so ques
tionable thnt this mny Imj done with
out, much compunction. A sinister as
pect Is given the stand of the Ger
mans by the report that before tho
Polish offensive began they mndo a
secret treaty, with the Moscow gov.
eminent, The treaty, It Is asserted,
contained the following provisions:
Russia, without Interference from
Germany, would be nllowed to appro
priate all of Poland's arms, munitions,
rolling stock nnd food stub's.
After tho conquest of Poland permis
sion would he given Russia to send n
number of hoishevlst commissioners
into that country to control tho export
of Polish supplies of all kinds.
Russia would then undertake to
evacuate Poland completely In favor
of Germany, which would hold the
country us a guaranty against future
credits to Rnssln In return for Ger
man goods and German labor.
There has been a lot of sarcastic
criticism of the League of Nations be
cause It has not taken cognizance of
tin; Russo-Pollsh war. In a letter to
Lord Robert Cecil. Viscount Grey, for
mer foreign minister, has this to say:
"The league had nothing to do v-ith
the Russian-Polish war and It Is a
crime against the league and Its mem
bers to charge it with responsibility
when the responsibility clearly did not
rest with the league, hut with Indi
vidual governments.
"Tlio league was not Invoked to re
strain Poland, one of Its own mem
bers, from aggression or, us the prime
minister calls it, reckless and foolish
action, as It should have been. To In
voke the league now to support Poland
by arms against the consequences of
her action Is not merely Illogical : It is
In fact, a great misuse of the league."
The council of the league of Na
tions, In session at Sau Sebastian,
Spain, Is busy with plans for the pre
vention of future wurs, and during the
week It took several important steps.
First It adopted the French plan for
an International general stuff of mili
tary experts to devise plans of oper
ations in event any state makes war
or vlohites an agreement. This action.
which was opposed by the united
States last year, Is thought to be pre
liminary to combined action against
bolshevik Russia nnd agulnst Germany
If she unites with the holshevlsts. An
other French plan, though presented
by Italy, also was adopted, for tho es
tablishment of tin International block
ade committee and Justifying the
blockade principle. The plan of the
advisory Jurists' committee for an In
teriintlonal court of Justice was adopt
ed us submitted. This was almost en
tirely the work of Klllni Root.
As had been expected, the Greeks
pretty much cleared Thrace of Turk
ish nationalists, but Kenial Pasha
was not beaten and opened a strong
offensive against tlie Greek forces In,
Asia Minor along the Itiigdnd railroad.
At Slmiiv, northeast of Smyrna, which
Is outside thelr'area of occupation, the
Greeks were defeated In a 24-hour bat
tle and forced to retreat. In order to
prevent Greek occupation of Constan
tinople the Turkish cabinet was hur
riedly reorganized, practically nil tho
new members being friendly to Great
Britain, mid preparations were made
for the signing of the peace treaty.
Rut Constantinople" Is threatened
from another direction, according to
reports from Sofia. It Is said a strong
Communist party Is being organized
In Bulgaria by MadJurolT, n Russo
phlle; that till Its men members from
twenty to forty-five years of age, are
being given arms and trained secretly,
and that the purpose Is to co-operate
with the Russian soviet troops in u
drive on Constantinople.
Tho strike of bituminous coal mlp
ers In thu middle Western states, be
ing unauthorized nnd disapproved by
the union, Is petering out mid the fear
of a fuel funilne Is decreasing. Presi
dent Wilson asked tho men to return
to work pending adjustment of their
complaints, and President Lewis of
tho United Mine Workers of America
gave tho sunk! advice, making It us
nearly mandatory as he could. The
strikers In Illinois and Indluim slow
ly returned to tho mines. Those of
Kansns were more stubborn mid A. M.
Ilowut, president of the state union,
bitterly attacked Lewis and refused
to abide by his Instructions.
So far as Illinois nnd the Chicago
region nre concerned, the Illinois puh
lie utilities conjmlsslon took action
that should relieve the situation there
very markedly. This was an order
forbidding the reeonslgnment of cars
of fuel after they have reached their
destination and providing that on all
carload shipments of coal, lumber, or
other shipments 'In open top cars tho
railroads shall moke n charge of $10
a day for each day or fraction there
of thnt n car Is held beyond tho "free
time" allowed by the roads. In this
way, It Is believed, the evil of gam
bling by middlemen will be greatly
lessened.
The railways appear to be fairly
well sntlstied with the rate Increases
authorized by the Interstate commerce
commission, and announce thnt they
nre prepnrlng to spend 5700,000,000
this year for Improvements nnd bet
terments. The Increases grunted nre.
In freight rates, an average of STi,
per cent for the entire country; for
passenger, excess baggage nnd milk
rates, 20 per cent; for Pullman rates,
50 per cent. It Is estimated the In
crease In earnings will amount to $1,
58.'t.000,0tKI, nnd thnt the net operat
ing Income of the roads will now be
$1,131,000,000 about 5100,000,000 less
than the roads asked.
As to the effect on the general pub
lic, there Is difference of opinion.
Some experts figure that the Increased
rates will mean tho adding of moro
than $1 a diiy to the cost of living of
the uveraKO family. Others, equally
expert. Insist that the resulting better
transportation and higher rate of pro
duction will bring lower prices.
After n trial lusting mnny weeks,
n Jury in Chicago convicted William
Brnss Lloyd, millionaire sergeant nt
nrms of the Comjnunlst Lnbor party,
and HI other members of that party,
of sedition, and nil of them were sen
tenced to Imprisonment. In addition
Lloyd wns fined $2,000 und two others
$1,000 each. Throughout the country
general satisfaction was felt in this
result of n case that was considered
one of the most Important ever held In
un American court. As Speclnl Prose
cutor ComCrford expressed It: "The
verdict convicts the movement ns well
as the men hehfniljlt. nnd establishes
a precedent which makes criminal
the meeting of nlen for the purpose of
advocating the overfhriny of the' gov
ernment." Something .like J0,000 Democrats
gathered In Dayton, O., Saturday to
hear Governor Cox told formally that
he Is the party's nominee for the pres
idency. The notification ceremonies
took place In the Montgomery county
fair grounds where a temporary
amphitheater was erected. They were
preceded by n parade In which ubout
20,000 persons took part. The town
was handsomely decorated and the
residents opened their homes to the
visitors.
In his. .-speech of acceptance Gover
nor Cox declared that the United
States should enter the League of Na
tions, Immediately ratify the peace
treaty and state our Interpretation of
the covenant ns a matter of good fnltli
and as a precaution against misunder
standing In the future; the Interpreta
tion clearly to show that the lengue
Is not- nn alliance and that Its basic
purpose Is peace and not controversy.
On the matter of prohibition he said
that any riimlMntc for the presidency
who says he does not Intend to en
force the law Is more unworthy than
the law violator. He declared be fa
vored the repeal of war taxes nnd the
reduction of federal taxation, nnd sug
gested a volume of business tax In
stead of the excess prollts tax. In
denting with other Issues ho followed
along the lines of the San Francisco
platform.
In the Missouri state primary Breck
Inrldge Long, who campaigned on a
