OrRanized labor's non-partisan political cam paign committee, comparing the pub lic, records of the republican ,and democratic presidential nominees, declared in a report made public to day that Governor Cox had "shown himself possessed of a fuller under standing of the needs of the working people."

In thjs con nection the report said: Cite Washington Record. "Senator Harding's record in Washington affords a better oppor tunity for analysis of his legislative views than does .his record in the Ohio senate by -reason of the fact that his term of service extended for a longer" period of time, during which he was called upon to consider 'a wider variety of measures." Reviewing Governor Cox's record the report said that while Governor Cox of Ohio had "acted : upon 59 measures of interest to labor with out acting on a single one adversely to labor."

Cox More Favorable. "There can be but one conclusion based upon a careful and impartial survey of the actions and -declarations of the candidates. Governor Cox has shown himself possessed of a fuller understanding of the needs of the working people, a readier re sponse to their , needs and to their proposals ad a broader statesman ship in his public discussions of the problems of the industrial world. ; "In addition to his superior under standing, Governor Cox is the -candidate on a platform which labor has declared 'marks a" measure of prog ress not found in the republican plat form' and the planks of which 'more nearly approximate' the desired dec laration of human rights than do the planks found in the'republican plat form." .

He cut all his speeches sort and spent much time shaking hands with the crowds. . Lacks Family Resemblance. If. you tried to pick out Franklin Roosevelt -in a crowd you would fail.'

One who remembered the wide-brimmed soft hat so remi niscent of the rottgh rider's would be completely baffled by Franklin Roosevelt's deep brown fedora. As a matter of fact, the relation ship is so distant vthat Franklin Roosevelt himself says, it is too complicated to remember. There is the similarity in names, but little else. - i .

Chicago Tribnnc-Omaha Bee IMed Wire. Chicago, Aug. 29. "What are- the farmers talking about?" is av istock interrogation at both republican and democratic headquarters. For one thing, the rural, regions are not talking in the way many of the pol iticiansfancy thfey are. A recent trip of 3,000 mMes through nine states in the wheat and corn belts, Illinois, Missouri, ' Kansas, Nebras ka, Iowa, the two Dakotas, Minne sota and Wisconsin revealed the agriculturist is picking his own is sues. ' -As a general -hing he is Tiot warming up to the league of na tions as the paramount question to be decided in November, but is vast ly more" interested in domestic problems', the many factors which converge into the high cost of liv ing. , - . ' National politics is still slumber ing,, except in areas where local fights have served to start things moving. The farmer is busy with his crops. He is doing little talk ing about the presidential campaign. The tourist drives up to a corner grocery store or hails a farmer in his field or barnyard and invariably gets a fine line oi information about the corn, oats and thffhay. ' t Indifference To Candidates. When the tourist drags in poli tics by the heels he finds rather an' indifferent attitude as to the can didates. The same languid feeling, too, is noted in the moving picture theaters when the - pictures are flashed on. Applause is rare; one sees nothing of the spontaneity and enthusiasm of the days of Roose velt: S Of course, it may be rather early Labbr Union Invites City Organizations To Attend Meeting : v An open meeting to discuss the new state constitution, bond issues and city improvements will be held by the Omaha central -labor union at the Labor temole.
