K. Hynlcn, national committeeman from Ohio, and who was a follower of tho Ute Ocorge u. Cox and p leader who pursues .Cox's old method of Inten ilflert organisation, tells his friends that Hamilton county Cincinnati will give Harding a majority of nt least 25,000 Representative Nicholas Longworth has to thoroughly satisfied himself of tho fttllng In Cincinnati and In the State linerally that he has devoted himself to campaigning In other States. While guesses as to the site of Har ding's majority are scarcely possible at this stage, tno inaran ltepuoncan ngurea point to winning the electoral vote of the State by from 76,000 to 100,000. Polls conducted by tho Cincinnati Kn ovlrer and by other newspapers Demo crats In sentiment, or more or less on tie fence as the Enquirer Is, reveal tho perceptible trend to Harding and lie- puoucanism. It Is not to ba thought that Senator Harding swallows whole all the rosy reorta that come to lilm. Ho Is the kind of a man who rathtfr would hear had news than good at this stage of tho campaign, for bad news reveals the weak pots and suggests tho work that must be done. liven )n the steady flow of optlmlstla report he has Insisted that there must be no let up in the fight and ttat the campaign must be fought out rUht up to election day as It the trond ct sentiment wero the other way.

Good reports have been nd from the State of Washington, i .M .a Mfiflv Ttannhllrnn. Evidently the attlhidi of the woipen ef the country Is playhu big part in the swing of aentlment The truth la the republican leaders are almost as much surprised as they are delighted with the obvious inclination of women to oppose tli a League of Nations com pact, for the apprehension was that women, traditionally sentimental and emotional, might be Influenced by tho aheerly sentimental and emotional nr fumtnts of Cox and his spcechmakers. If th Information that is coming to Bcnator Harding from many States Is Accurate and tho result In Malno tends to confirm Its nccuracy tho ma jority of tho women who will vote for P:eldent in November have studied tho . league question enough, to rcalUo that the compact Is Waded with tho throat and danger of war. Among tho 'Senator's visitors to-day was James R. Garfield, former Secre tary of tho Interior and a member of the Hoosevelt "tennin cabinet" as well. After Mr. Garfield's long chat with Mr Harding, Mr. Garfield gave out a state ment which warned tho country that the election of Cox would mean not only the continued, solidified domination of the Bouth, but would mean. In addition, a cintrol by tho worst elements of tho Northern Dcmocratio machine. J. It. anrfleld'a Analysts. Mr. Garfield said: "So long as tho Democrats piny politics with loulol diet starling cvory cam paign with tho 185 votes of tho solid Bouth and only 130 more needed to elect tho country must understand that lti flret business la to prevent control In that Interest.

Senator Harding Issued to-day an ap peal to tho people to stnnd behind the Constitution ns tho one guarantee not only of their authority but of their safety and freedom. He aald : "Thftfo Is abroad In the land a spirit which seeks to weaken tho adherence of the people to their Constitution and which recklessly challenges Its worth. It Is well, therefore, to have one day In the year net apart for the clearing of our vision and the regeneration of our faith. "To assail or l ellttle the flag is to in vito and Incur the Just and passionate resentment of all country loving men, but tho Constitution may be attacked or dlspnraged with Impunity, and all tto often, with approval, and yet tho one Is' but a symbolthough n very precious symbol whllo the other Is the very warp and woof of our national ex istence. "It sometimes has been asserted that tho Constitution was imposed upon tho many for the benefit of the few. On tho contrary, it Is the one thing, above all other things in our policy which both In orlgl nnd expression Is universal In Its democracy. A statute rests upon tho delegated authority of a small official group, but tho Constitution is tho direct flat of nil the peoplo. It is their man dateexpressing not their wishes but their will fixing tho Immovablo bcind orls of power beyond which their ser vants who administer their Government arc forbidden to so. It Is dcclnn'd to b tho supremo law of tho land, with which every other law and every offlalal act must coincide or fall. A nn'rrler to Awtocrnoy.

SEES HANDING AS KAISER Says 'America First' Slogan Is Llko Dciitsciilnd Ubor Alios.' 11, o Staff Corriipondtnt ef Tits BtJH AXD Nsw YiiBK Hruit.n. IIbno, Nov., Sept. 16, Gov, Cox came out flatly to-night with tho statement that ho Li willing to mako "any reason able concession" to obtain ratification of tho Uaguo of Nations, Ho seeks, he said, to obtain America's entry Into tho league with the "least posslblo delay," The statement camo In tho form of a telegram to Dr. Irving Fisher of Vale, head of a newly formed Association of Educators nnd Editors hacking tho league, and It was precipitated by a declaration by William H, Tnft that Oov, Cox's election as President would mean an unyielding and uncompromising at titude In regard t ratification. This Is tho furthest Oov, Cox has gono In stating his position with regard to ratification. Those clo.se in his con fidence doolared It means that he Is not nn "Irreconcilable" by any means, and that he even would stray from tho stand taken by President Wilson in ob talnlng action on the covenant. This Is aov. Cox's tolegrom to Dr. Fisher: "I am detormlnod to secure the earliest posslblo entrance Into the Leaguo of Nations with the least pos sible delay and with the least possl blo reservations neoded to accomplish that result. The platform adopted by the convention at whlcn I was nomi nated pormlts reservations which will clarify nnd roassuro our people and Is opposed only to reservations which would nullify and destroy. I have no doubt that Itepubllcan and Democratlo Senators allko will loyally fulfill the peoplo'. mandato which my election wilt signify, "I shall endeavor to meet all reason able desires for proper reservations which nro offorod In sincerity nnd not meroly presented as trumped up for po litical purposes. My heart is in tnis fight, nnd I will put forth nil effort and mako any reasonablo concession to ln It that wo may eecuro membership In tho Lvaguo for America." Dcmocratio minds are wondering to night whether Gov. Cox's assertion that tho Itopubllcan slogan, "America first," i.i tho same song the Kaiser sang, "Deutschland uber allies," will prove w le a two-edged sword to cut tick at the ticket In November. Tho declaration came at the closo of Gov. Cox's speech last night at the tabernaclo In Bait Lake City when, as part of his argument for tho League of Nations, ho challenged tho audience to tell exactly where ficnato Harding stands on tho proposal. This feature of tho speech Gov. Cox has used for about a week, and on the few occasions when thcra has been n rcKponso It has been grist In the Dcmocatlo mill, with re marks llko "Wo don't, know'' and "on the front porch." Hut tho challenge hit a nag at Salt Lake. Somebody far back In tho gal lery precipitated tho trouble. "Is there any man or woman In this audlenco who knowB where Senator Harding stands on the League of Na tions?" Gov. Cox called, pointing his finger nt tho crowa. In tho confusion that followed an other question was put from a different part of the tabernacle. A man who wanted to know "What about political prisoners?" An&wcrlng, Cox said that "America, knows no such thing as .po litical prisoners except during war." "What was tho German slogan before tho war?" he ankei. "Tho reactionaries aro singing the same song the Kaiser sang, 'Deutschland uber alles.' "Tho world rose up nnd struck Ger many down because It was selfish; be cause It was brutnl ; becuuso It wasn't humane ; becauso It was a great Isolated power adCIng to Its fat fortuno and building up a great armament If It Is to be America first and you are going to Isolate her from tho rest of the world, you have to arm her to the teeth, haven't you? I will tell you what my creed Is: It is Lord God Almighty llrst." This was amplified to-day and handed out to the newspaper correspondent as a stenographic report of the Incident, with these words added : "America first In tho progress of the world; America the leader in tho read justment now at hand.

We believe that for some reason, entirely unwar ranted, a percentage of these very men hesitate to step into a Knox Shop. To be perfectly plainthey apparently do not feel that a Knox Shop is their shop. They labor under the impression .that a Knox Hat is only for the so-called exclusive type of person. Let us state, emphatically, that Knox shops are organized and operated to capably serve any man who feels inclined to come in, Simply because Knox is one of the oldest and most reputable establishments in the world, one should not deny one-self the advantages of purchas ing a Knox at a time when it is more necqssary to secure a warrant of service than ever before, and when the prices of all hats are practically on a par. It is a well established fact that the bigger the man, the more approachable he is; and' the clearer his grasp of service and all it means, to his fellow men. So, through eighty-four years of selling hats, Knox has gained a most satisfactory and helpful ijnderstand ' ing of mens needs, and has constantly increased its desire and ability to serve. Do not stay away be cause Knox has a reputation come because of it. , and all it means in quality, style and service. . i KtiOX SOFT HATS AND DERBIES .
