Washington, Kinston, Morehead City,
Jacksonville, Greenville and as far west
aa Baleigh poured in thia morning until
New Bern'a capacity for taking care of

. The former secretary didn't attempt
a big speech, but rather followed the

Senator Simmons lamented the losa of
MeAdop in the cabinet and regretted
that a maa aa courageoua waa not ea
the job now. Two years ago McAdoo
helped tha farmers ef the West, and

today ia not analogous but currency

more significant than Bamoeratie Vic

if it doe stagger at first blush, he aaid.
The most charitable thing ta be said
la that there ara mere deluded people la
Maine than one would have guested laat
Monday. Superior v ergaalcatioa and
vastly Superior expenditures, though he
would not lay bluntly; that money was
corruptly need, is responsible for the
big majority there. State iasues para
mount in the minda of the people at
this atagc of tha campaign, contributed
but with it all there is no reason for
Democrats to ahake in tha knees. '
"Cos is making a root campaign,1
aaid Mr. McAdoo. "He is a progressive,
a business man, and ha if going te win
in November. The American, people
are not going to stand for a prostitution
of their victory in the World War."
Both Seaator Simmons and Mr. Me
Adoo twitted each other about San Fran
Cisco and about their fa years' aaaoeia
tion with the finances of the country.
Mr. McAdoo made tha estimates and
paid out the gross which Senator 81m
mona) collected. The two -worked to
gether ia the best of harmony and
neither was willing today to be called
"Boas" by the other. In fact the de
ference in the introduction and the re
sponse waa brotherly among big men.
Simmona aaid that- MeAdoo'a only peer
in hla glory is Alexander Hamilton and
McAdoo aaid Simmons has viaion enough
to be -Preeident. ' ,

Simmons' Introdaetion and the McAdoo
speech evoked generous applause each

for himself a place in the heart of all
Americans that ia proof against tha

The'Georgian' fertifff brain Senator
Simmon said, conceived the war riak

to his audience, he defied the suggestion
of impeachment and opened the eoffera

be injected into the backbone of some
people in Washington (no names Vara

cedent might not be lost to the country
at a time whan it needa it.

though, la he willing te jeopardise the

Cites Boot's Part In Its
Making '
Salt Ink CTty, Utah, Sept 15.-Plans
for an international court under the
League of Nations, as reported from
Paris, were advanced by Governor Cox,
of Ohio, in hla Utah campaign today
u a telling argument for the league.
They further. coafonad Senator Harding
and other Bepublieaa opponents," the
Democratic presidential candidate de
clared in addressee here tonight In the
area Mormon tabernacle and earlier te.
day at Ogden. '.',,.; "
Bciterating that the . Bepublieaa
league critics had failed to offer any
substitute and had expected that Elihu
Boot would bring forth a new plan, Gov
ernor Cox made the following state
ment on the reported court outline;
Statement On the Court.
'Today we leara that tha commiaaloa,
ef which Mr. Boot ia a member, baa
made it report establishing a world
court for the adjudication of questions,
according to rule ef law., Wa find,
however, that this court ia a part of
the league covenant j that Mr. Boot and
hia eolleaguea were appointed by the
council of the league; that they made
f their report to the council el the league
and thia report ia .new to be submitted
to the varioua members of the league.
Furthermore, It appears that th judge
of the court are to be ehoaen by the
council nnd the assembly of the league
and their aalariea ar to be paid by
th league, v ' ,
Essential ran or rec. --
"It ia apparent, therefore, that thia
court of international justice, which Mr,
Harding hoped would be n aubstttute for
the league of nation, now appear aa an
essential part of tha league, and one
which without the league would have na
standing whatever, V
"Thia limb having been cut off, Mr,
Harding aittiag oa the end, we may eon.
fidcntiy look forward te another rnntic
effort from Marioa ia an attempt te
confuse th public and' to keep both
Senator Johnaon who ia against any
kind of a league and Eliha Boot, vhe
ia not only for the league, but ha per
formed valiant service for the exist
ing league, for. the party candidate."
The league, together with progree-
siviam. were the backbone or au of Gov.
arnor Cox's address ea today. He de
livered five, beginning early this morn
lna-.nt Poeatello. Idaho, with later ad
dresse at Logan and Grigham, Utah,
a route to Ogden and Bait Ink City,
- Dcmenatratlve Welcome. .
A demoast retire welcome waa accord
ed the candidate all through Utah. Brass
hands serenaded, automobile paradea,
hot-gun salutes and participation In aa
annual "Peach Day celebration at
Brighnm, including being photographed
with bevy of young girla labelled
"Priee Peaehae," were feature ef the
governor's receptions. - A dinner here
tonight given by- local Democrats,
mass meeting and parade to th taber
nacle and the governors address closed
th candidate' Utah campaign. He left
late tonight to speak tomorrow at Elko,
Hoarka. Winnemueea. x IjOVsiock ana
Beno, Nevada, en route to California,
i "Progress and peace" were the pric
clpal Utah preachmeata of the G ov
er on r. ,'. ;,. ;,. ' !..!' '' '
He also assailed the . ."Senatorial
Oligarchy" and big buaineaa," and re
peated attack upon Bepublieaa "cam
naisrn contributions.
I "Every ounce of big buaineaa ts being
used to defeat me, ' be told hi wrig
ham nudienee.
Same Crowd Ia ContreL
That the "aamo crowd" of Bepublieaa
leader which former Preeident Boose-
velt fought In 1912 now are ia control
of the Bepublieaa party waa atated to
every Utah audience by the Governor,
ia stressing that he stood for progress
rather than reaction, and ia character
ising Senator Harding aa the "candidate
.of reaction.
In urging th league, Governor Cox
asked his audience where Senator Hard
ing now stood upon tha league aad la
absence of replies, the Governor, to re
peated, applause, declared s
' Harding Doesn't Knek.
Ton don't know became he
don't
know himaelf."
That th Senator has changed front
frequently on the leagu Issue wa reit
erated by the Governor. H also de
clared that Senator Harding waa "sum
moned before the Senate Oligarchy" at
Chicago prior to his nomination and
asked questions, declaring that these
,ueatlons probably did not deal with the
weather, th Governor added that "big
buainee works in devioua and Insidious

and to speculative enterprises,
it would aot restrict credits to essential
industries. Re showed by figure more
credit bad been extended to essential
