Republican leaders are wondering
whether the people of the west,

under the continued imposition of
war taxes, will forego the opportun

to ask about the reasons for some
of his extraordinary expenditures.
Bought 580,000 Horses.
, Under Mr. Baker's administration
of the War department the govern

the period of the war. Only 67,000
ot these were shipped overseas and
96,000 died most of them far from
the scene of hostilities.
' For these half million horses, the
government bought 945,000 saddles
almost two for every horse. It
bought, 2,850,000 halters, or five for
every horse. It bought 585,000
saddle bags, one apiece, and 1,637,

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Baa Lea ted wire.
New York, Oct. 22. Harding and
Coolidge are destined, according to
present indications, to sweep New
York state by an enormous plurality
300,000 or more would not be sur
prising.
oenaior vvaaswortn will be re
elected by a large plurality over
Lieutenant Governor Walker, the
democratic candidate, although he
will run far behind Harding.
rt11 t a ... .
mere is less certainty concerning
tne contest over the governorship,
but the chances are that Nathan L.
Miller, republican, though running
considerably behind Harding, will
defeat Governor A. Smith, the Tam
many democrat, who is expected to
run ahead of Cox.
Governor Cox is to be given a
great reception here tomorrow, but
he will be entertained by a demo
cratic management which has given
up all hope of delivering to him,
the 45 electoral votes of the empire
state. Likewise they are no long
er reckoning the; defeat of Senator
Wadsworth a .possibility. They do
think, however, that AI, Smith stands
a good chance of re-election, and
upon the task of saving that much
of their ticket, ' the Jeffersonian
chieftains, -headed by Boss Murphy
of Tammany Hall, are now con
centrating all known political strate
gems. Women For Harding.
Harding will come down to the
Bronz with a veritable avalanche of
republican votes now that the women
have the vote. Preliminary can
vasses indicate that a slightly larger
percentage of women than men will
support the republican ticket .
Harding could lose Greater New
York City by 200,000 or 300,000 and
still win the state handsomely, by
virtue of the upstate landslide. But
the indications are that he will come
close to carrying even this metro
politan democratic stronghold. This
is because the republicans are more
united than ever before, having suf
fered negligible defections n the
league of nations question, while the
democratic party is shot through
McKelvie Calls
Campaign Bluff
Of His Opponent
Absurditity of Morehead
Charges Is Explained by Re?
publican Candidate in 'y
Speech at Hastings.
Hastings, Neb., Oct. 22. (Special
Telegram.) John H. Morehead's
criticism of 'the civil administrative
code was denounced as "puerile in
the manifest absence of comprehen
sion of the state's administrative ma
chinery," in an address by Governor
cKelvie here.
The speech in Hastings closed a
busy day of campaigning for the
governor, who addressed crowds at
Minden and Kenesaw.
"I see by press reports that my op
ponent, Mr. Morehead. points out
how he is going to effect a consid
erable saving to the state, by doing
away with the civil administrative
code and the departments under it.'
the governor declared. "The activi
ties, thus included embrace the ad
ministration and nforcement of ail
the laws that do not fall under the
supervision of the eight constitution
al executive departments.
Plan is Impossible.
'"Before the code went into, effect
these laws were administered through
21 departments created by legisla
tive act. Under the code these 21
departments were consolidated into
six. Consequently the "propoSed
elimination of these departments is
an utter impossibility, could not be
done without largely extending the
rarrying on of the same work
through other departments and
would affect no saving whatever to
the state.
"On this point I shall make a
more complete statement to the
press shortly, but for the present, it
is sufficient to say that it is so im
practical and so puerile in the mani

Mexican Under Secretary
Of Foreign Affairs Quits
Mexico City, Oct. 22. Dr. Cut
berto Hidaljro. under-secretary of
foreign relations, relinquished that 1-
post yesterday, having resigned to
become a candidate for the office of
governor of the state of Hidalgo.
He made an extended statement
that it was Mexico's desire to pay
all debts, and that there was no dis
position to deprive foreigners of
their property rights. ,
His statement was ibased on as
rertions credited to United States
Senator Fall of New Mexico, which
Dr. Hidalgo thought contained un
just criticism of the new govern
ment Stevedores in Vera Cruz
Tie Up Traffic by Strike
Mexico City, Oct. 22. All traffic
in the port of Vera Cruz, has been
slopped by the strike of steyedores
and dock workers, and the contro
versy may result in a general na
tionwide strike, according to news
paper dispatches. It is said workers
in many lines are organizing, and
that the walkout of dock workers at
Vera Cruz would probably be ex
tended to Progrtso and Tampico, as
well as other gull ports. .
The situation is made more tense
by the evident deadlock over the

That HVtovJno Cox be
yond hops V5rrc'o'very was admitted
today at democratic headquarters.
The leaders admit that surface con
ditions do not bear out the expecta
tion that Cox will carry a third of
the western states which gave Wil
son victory by. a narrow margin in
I916, but they are relying for success
on the "great undercurrent of the
silent vote of the intellectuals," fa
voring the league of nations.
Foreigners Republican.
For every republican vote Hard
ing loses in New York he will gain
three oc four democratic votes on
the league of nations issue alone.
The Irish and other foreign ele
ments, which constitute the back
bone of Tammany Hall, are going
to plump for Harding in order to
register their disapproval of the Wil
son covenant, of the president's in
terference at the peace table with
the territorial and other aspirations
of their ancestral countries. Tam
many was instrumental in nominat
ing Cox, but has been unable to
make any campaign for ,him worth
the name since he espoused the pres
ident's stand orj the covenant.
Senator Wadsworth is having a
stormy time of it, largely becau.se
of the resentment on the part of
some of the women he incurred by
opposing equal suffrage. "Wads
worth's place is in ' the home," is
the slogan of those feminine antag
onists. The indications are, however, that
this opposition is not sufficient to
endanger Wadsworth's' re-elction.
The best known and most popular
candidate on the democratic ticket
is Governor Smith, who undoubted
ly will poll a large republican vote.
He is for light wine and beer, while
Judge Miller, the republican' can
didate, is advocating strict enforce
ment of the prohibition law.

York City although even here Tam
many is encountering some difficulty
in holding the normally democratic
elements in line for the governor.
The railroad employes are dis
gruntled at the treatment by the

Harding Rests
Before Last Lap
of G.O.P. Campaign
?
Senator Spends Day on Mans
' field Golf Links Following
Refurrt From Trip Into
New York State.
Marion, O.,' Oct 22. Tht last of
his campaign swings outside Ohio
completed, Senator Harding took a
real holiday before starting work on
the series of speeches he will de
liver next week in principal cities of
his own state.
After his arrival here late in the
morning on the special train which
carried him on his excursion into
New York state, he looked in at his
office for only a short while, and
then left for a 40-mile motor ride to
Mansfield, and a game of golf.
It was the first time in several
weeks that he had taken so complete
a rest from the cares of the cam
paign. Although he appeared in per
fect health, the strain of his speaking
trips had left him tired and he said
he wanted to refresh himself with
some wholesome physical exercise
before taking up the home stretch of
the campaign.
Tomorrow the nominee will begin
preparations of his final campaign
utterances to be delivered on the last
four nights of next week to meetings
in 'Cleveland, Akron, Cincinnati and
Columbus. No more front porch
dates have been booked, and these
four addresses may be the only ones
he will deliver before election day.
It is considered entirely possible,
however, that when he leaves Wed
nesday he will run into numerous
rear platform gatherings locally ar
ranged, and will supplement his four
main speeches with many short talks
of a less formal nature.'
The present plan is to make the
Ohio circuit on a special train, not
returning to Marion until Sunday.
His managers consider that such a
trip probably will mean an extensive
rear platform program.

Omaha Attorney Prepares
Eight Suit's Totalling $750,
000 Against Importing
Companies.
Stuff Stored Six Years
An alleged gigantic fraud in dump
ing upon the American market 5,
120,000 pounds of spoiled and in
ferior Java refined sugar under rep
resentations that it was they best
granulated sugar, has been uncov
ered by William Ritchie, jr., Oma
ha attorney, who has just returned
from a six weeks! trip to San Fran
cisco and Chicago -in the interests
of 33 western sugar jobbers.
He is now preparing eight suits to
be filed against sugar importing
companies, all of them doing busi
ness in this territory. These suits
will be for $500,000 to $750,000 and
will be filed in San Francisco with
in two weeks. Mr. Ritchie said yes
terday. Agents Went through this ' and
other parts of the country last
spring when sugar was so scarce
that almost none could be bought,
and sold what purported to be the
finest Java refined sugar at prices
ranging from 21 to 24 cents a pound.
Paid in Advance.
It Avas stipulated that the sugar
had to be paid for by draft or let
ters of credit before it was shinned
Nrom San Francisco. When it ar
rived in Omaha and at the houses of
jobbers elsewhere it was found to be
of very inferior grade, Mr. Ritchie
said, some of it scarcely more than
molasses.
"It was so bad," he said, "that
none of it was put on the market. It
couldn't be sold. One lot was so
wretched that 500 pounds of it actu
ally leaked out of the sacks in the
form of molasses enroute from San
Francisco here. " J
"This sugar was bought by Japa
nese speculators in 1914 and was
stored in Hong Kong, China, ware
houses. There some of it 'reverted'
to . molasses. And when it was
shipped to America the dirt and
everything of those dirty warehouses
was scooped up together. It proved
on delivery to be a hopeless mess.
No Americans would think of us
ing it. ,
Importing Firms Settle.
"Though a polarization test of '98
or better' was stipulated in contracts,
some of the stuff received tested
only 77.
"The deals resulted in enormous
losses to the jobbers. , All the 6'Ugarf
had been paid 'for because "that was
the only way the jobbers could get
it Yet it couldn't be sold to the
sugar-hungry public."' ?
Mr. Ritchie represented one Oma
ha jobber, two in Lincoln and 30
others in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois,
Michigan and Indiana.
He made settlement with some of
the importing firms who, he said,
had, themselves, been cheated in the
importation, believing that the sugar
was all, right.

that Elihu Root has misrepresented

In this message and in more than
half dozen speeches, Governor Cox
reiterated that he would accept "help
