Cowspruiik OnOld v
v 'Moonshine -
Durham, July 16. John King,
a farmer living ' near this 6ity,
found two of hi3 cows lying on
the ground of their pasture in a
stupor, apparently suffering
from some strarge nialady.
- A veterinarian was called and
after a lengthy examination pro
rioiinced both -animals merely
.Vbeastiy'Vdrorifc':'- A search for
the cause led to the discovery of
a moonshine still in a secluded
corner of the pasture. The
cows had eaten a quantity of the
mash used by 'the whiskey m an-
ufacturers. .. ..s

not : entertain this : view. This is espe
cially true of the younger -membership
or the House who would revolt against
Speaker Clark just as the Republicans
revolted against Cannon some - years
ago although for entirely different
reasons. -Even his close friends in the
House say the Missourian is prone to
sleep too mueh and to discourage the
young members, from making speech.

Columbus, Ohio, July .19. Democratic
leaders gathered here today to' -counsel
with Governor Cox and Franklin D.

vice presidential nominees, on -their na
tional political battle. -, - -
The Democratic national committee
meets .at 11 o'clock tomorrow to organ
ize the campaign. Much preliminary
work was done today in conferences.- v
Selection of a committee chairman
to manage the campaign, naming of
headquarters, choosing an executive sub
committee, plans for financing ;the cam
paign, . arrangements for notification
date! for the two nominees and their
itineraries were tfye." major affairs to be
considered at tomorrow's meeting. ;
Declines to Answer Harding. '
Governor Cox declined to respond to
the request of Senator Harding, the
Republican nominee, for details of the
governor's conference with President
Wilson yesterday on the League of Na
tions. ' The governor said he would
answer anything desirable in his ac
ceptance address. Disinclinatin of Ed
mund H. Moore, national committeeman
from ; Ohio, ,nnd Governor Cox's floor"
manager .at the San ; Francisco conven-4
tibn, to-assume management' of the cam
paign left unsettled tonight the election
of .a national committee chairman.
Go vernqr-; Cb said that in- a telephone
conversation' : Mr!' r More indicated that
he did not .desire the plaee, but wished
to serve In other and unofficial capaci
ties. ' :
"The question will be left to the com-
mitee," said Governor Cox. v
Mr. Moore's reasons for not wishing
to " manage the compaign were said by
close friends to be personal, based large
ly . on necessities of his law- practice at
Youngstown. . .
Chairmanship is Discussed.
The committee chairmanship also was
discussed late today by Governor Cox
with Homer S. Ciimmings, of Connecti
cut, the present chairman Mr. Cum
mings has stated that he wished to
avoid the responsibilities and labor of
another campaign; but many committee
members were urging that he be 'draft
ed" by re-election tomorrow. Represen
tative Cordell Hul:, of Tennessee, also
was being urged as an eligible.
A number of committee women chosen
under the new rule giving women equal
representation were here for tomorrow's
meeting and there" was a disposition to
give them places on thejexecutive com
mittee, possibly electing one woman vice
chairman. .Women suffrage leaders also
are to urge the committee to make an
other 'move toward ratification of the
Federal suffrage amendment. Norman
E. Mack, New York committee leader, is
to offer a resolution urging the Tennes
see ad North Carolina legislatures to
ratify. x Sentiment regarding notifica
tion of the nominees appeared settled in
favor of dates early in August, in order
that both candidates may soon begin
speaking tours. :
Tentative Speaking Plans.
Tentative plans call for a tour of
about three weeks in eastern and central
states by Governor, Cox, beginning about
themiddle of August, while-Mr. Roose
velt spends a like period in the AVest.
Afterwards : it is proposed that they
transfer territories for another three
weeks' trip. Both candidates are ex
pected to close their campaign in their
home and nearby states. , .
1 Governor Cox said he was being urged
strongly to visit the Pacific coast and
that he hoped to comply.
Virtually all of the visiting commit
tee members are giving the 'governor
and Mr. Roosevelt, optimistic reports on
the outlook in their stateW'
Nfcw York . Prospects Good.
Mr. Mack said, that Democratic proB
pects in New York were "very good.".
The r party in ; the state never was
more united,", he said. -
l8iddr;B. Dockwe.iler also gave a hope
ful view j of the California; situation, in
which he said - factional Republican
troubles figure, while Mr. J.; W. Morrow,
Governor Cox said, predicted that Ore
gon, Idaho, - and 'Montana were ( sure
prospects for the" Democratic column.
Charles Boeschenstein, Illinois commit
teeman, also told the governor that his
state was by no., means a Republican
prospect. ' ; ' v
ourselves anew to the cause, and
resolve as follows:
- First, that the society express
its appreciation of the efforts put
forth by our county officers for
the suppression of illicit 'distil
ling but in view of humerots re
ports of violation of the law we
urge even greater activity in the
matter of law enforcement. We
realize, too, the necessity of : co
operation on the part of the pub
lic, and would remind our mem
bers, one and all, of their duty
in this respect. . . '
Second, we deeply deplore trie
fact that some men of good re
port otherwise have so compro
mised their convictions as to be
guilty' of trafficking in .whiskey
for financialgain. ' ;
Third, we earnestly advise
that more publicity and a strong
er emphasis be jgiven tke subject
of temperance, from the pulpit,
in the Sunday school and by the
press.
