Another source of the gravest

Governor Calvin Coolidge
quiring what the law was and then' ?
rendering it full obedience, there has
been a disposition on the part of
some individuals and of groups to
inquire whether they liked the lav/,
and if not: to disregard it, seek to
override it, suspend it and prevent
its execution, sometimes by tho
method of direct action, for the pur?
pose of securing their own selfish
ends. The observance of the law is
the greatest solvent of public, ills.
Men speak of natural rights, but ?
challenge any one to show where in
nature any rights ever existed \>r
were recognized until there was es?
tablished for their declaration and
protection a duly promu'gated body
of correspond i nr laws. The march of
civilization has brer ever under the
protecting ;c_t's of the law, it is
the strong deience of weak, tho
ever present refuge of innocence, :;
mighty fortress of the righteous.
One with the law is a majority.
While the Ib.w is observed tho prog?
ress of crfilization will continue.
When such observance ceast^s chaos

Society '0 a(jvance must be not a
dead ?'form but a living organism,
pU'^tK^, inviting progress. There are
r V ?Masses heie. There are different
occupations and different stations;'
f te:7ainly there can be no class of
? employer and employed. All true
t American? are working for each
; other, exchanging the results of the
[ efforts of hand and brain wrought
f through the unconsumed efforts of
1 yesterday, which wc call capital, a 11
paying and being paid by each other,
i serving and being served. To do
'. otherwise is to stand disgraced and
j alien to our institutions. This
| means that government must look at
i the part in the light of the whole,
| that legislation must be directed not
! for private interest, hut for public
j welfare, and that thereby alone will
j each of our citizens find their -rroat
| est accomplishment and success.
If the great conflict has ?r?isturbed
1 our political conditions it has caused
I an upheaval in oui economic rela
j tions. The mounting prices of all
sorts of commodities has v<t a well
nigh unbearable burden on every
home. Much of this is beyond relief
from law, but the forces of the gov?
ernment can and must afford a con
i siderable remedy.
For Reduced Taxation
The most obvious place to begin
retrenchment is by eliminating the
[ extravagance of the government it
; self. In this the Congress has made
a commendable beginning, but al?
though the Congress makes the ap?
propriations the departments make
the expenditures, which are not under
legislative but executive control. The
extravagant standards bred of re?
cent years must be eliminated. This
should show inuneriiateiy in reduced
taxation. That great breeder of pub?
lic and private extravagance, the ex?
cess profits tax, should be revised
i and recourse had to customs taxes
i ?'ii imports, one of the most whole?
some of ail means of raising revenue,
for it is voluntary in effect, and taxes
consumption rather than production.
It should be laid according to the
needs of a creditor nation, for the
protection of the public, with a pur?
pose to render us both economically
and defensively independent.
A revision of taxation must be ac?
companied with a reduction of that
private extravagance which the re?
turns from luxury taxes reveal as
surpassing all comprehension. Waiv?
ing the moral effect, the economic
effect of such extravagance is to
withdraw needed capital and labor
from essential industries, greatly in?
creasing the public distress and un?
rest.
There has been profiteering. It
should be punished because it is
wrong. But it is idle to look to such
action for relief. This class profit by
scarcity, but they.do not cause it.
As every one knows now, the diffi?
culty is caused by a scarcity of mate
rial, an abundance of money, and in?
sufficient production. The govern?
ment must reduce the amount o?
money as fast as it can without cur?
tailing necessary credits. Production
must be increased. All easy to sas
but difficult of accomplishment.
One of the chief hindrances to pro?
duction is lack of adequate railroar
facilities. Transportation must be re
established. A few glaring instance:
in the past of improper management
joined with an improper public atl
tade thereby mooted, wrought gre."l
. harm to oui railroad: Gov?ernmeni
| operation left them disintegrated
disorganized, and demoralized. On ?

They must be provided with credi/

moving them from sporulation* f^"

.1 '-'he great, leather and woolen ir.
cNfstries there is a recession in the
r tea, sic elements which must soon be
reflected in retail prie??. When buy?
ing stops prices come down.
This condition ha/; bom.' with espe?
cial severity or. the agricultural in?
terests of the nation. To cope with
it the fanners need an enlarged
power of organization whereby the
original producer may profit ;?-> n
larger decree by the high prices pa i ?i
for his produce by the ultimate con?
sumer and at the same time decrease
the cost of food. The economic
strength of a country rests on the
farm. Industrial activity is depend?
ent upon it. It replenishes the entire
life'of the nation. Agriculture is en
: titled to be suitably rewarded, and on
its encouragement and success will
depend the production of a food sup
? | ly large enough to meet the public
\ needs at reasonable cost.
But all these difficulties depend for
final solution on the character nnd
i moral force of the nation. Unless
] these forces abound and manifest
themselves in work done there is no
; real remedy.
Real Meaning of Victory
There has been a great deal of mis
? conception as to what was ^f on by the
: victory in France. That victory will
i not be found to be a substitute for
further human effort and endeavor.
Ii du! not create magic resources out
; of which wages could be paid that
were not earned, or profits be made
without corresponding service;'It did
not overcome any natural law; it
j did conquer an artificial thralldom
-'eight to be imposed on mankind and
establish for all the earth a new
freedom and a larger liberty. But
that does not, can not, mean less re?
sponsibility; it means more respon'si
: bility, and until the people of this
n understand and accept this
increased responsibility and meet it
! with increased effort there will be no
relief from the present economic
burdens.
In all tilings a return to a peace
basis' does not mean the basis of
L914. That, day is gone. It means a
peace basis of the present, higher,
nobler, because of the sacrifices made
and the duties assumed. It is not a
? retreat, it is a new summons to ad?
vance.
Diminishing resources warn us of
the necessity of conservation. The
public domain is the property of the
public. It is held in trust for pres
' ent and future generations. The ma
' ti nal ?csources of our country ar?
great, very great; but they are not
inexhaustible. They are becoming
\ more and more valuable and more
1 and more necessary to the public
welfare. It is not wise either tc
withhold water power, reservoir sites
an?! mineral deposits from develop
ment or tc deny a reasonable profil
to such opeiations. But these natura
resources are not to be turned ovei
. to speculation to the detriment ol
? the public. Such a policy would soor
remove these resources from publi?
; control, and the result would be thai
soon the people would be paying trib
ute to private greed. Conservatior
does not desire to retard develop
ment. It permits it and encourage:
it. It is a desire honestly to admin
ister the public domain. The tim?
has passed when public franchise:
and public grants can be used fo:
, private speculation.
Grati?Uide to Service Men
, Whenever in the future this natioi
: undertakes to assess-its strength ant
| resources, the largest item will b?
the roll of those who served her ii
every patriotic capacity in the Worl<
War. There are those who bore th?
; civil tasks of that great undertaking
j often at heavy sacrifices, always witr
the disinterested desire to servi
their country. There are those wh?
wore the uniform. The presence o
the living, the example of the dead
will ever be a standing guaranty o
! the stability of our Republic. Fron

to be relieved from all imposition, to

Equal soff rage, for which [ have
always voted, is coming. It is not a
party '.'(uestion, although nearly six
seveftths of the ratifying legisla?
tures have been Republican. The
ft'?rty stands pledged to use its en?
deavor to hasten ratification, which
I trust will be at once accomplished.
There are many domestic questions
which I cannot discuss here; their
solution is amply revealed in the
platform, such as merchant marine,
an adequate army and navy, the es?
tablishment of a Department of Pub?
lic Works, support of the classified
civil service laws, provision for pub?
lic waterway- and highways, a budg?
et system and other equally pressing
subjects. I am not unmindful of
their deep importance.
Foreign Relations
The foreign relations of our coun?
try ought not to be partisan, but
American. If. restored to the limita?
tions of constitutional authority on
the one hand and to the protection
of the constitutional rights of our
citizens on the ether, much of their
present difficulty would disappear.
There can be no sovereignty with?
out a corresponding duty. It is
fundamental that each citizen is en?
titled to the equal protection of the
laws. That; goes with his citizen?
ship and abides where he lawfully
abides, whether at home or abroad.
This inherent right must be restored
to our people and observed by our
government. The persons and prop?
erty of Americans wherever they
may lawfully be, while lawfully en?
gaged, must forever have protection
sufficient to insure their safety and
cause the punishment of all who vio?
late it. This is theirs as a plain con?
stitutional duty. A government dis?
regarding it invites the contempt of
the world and is on the way to
humiliation and war. Rejecting the
rule of law is accepting the sword of
force.
The country cannot be securely re?
stored to a peace basis in anything
until a peace is first made with those
with whom we have been at war. The
Republicans in Congress, realizing
that because of the necessary reli?
ance of one nation on another there
was, more than ever before, -mutual
need of the sustaining influence of
friendly cooperation and rapproche?
ment, t%vice attempted the establish
; ment of such peace by offers of rati
I fication, which were rejected by the
I Democratic Administration. No one
! knows now whether war or peace
? prevails. Our party stands pledged to
j make an immediate peace as soon as
: it is given power by the people.
League of Nations
The proposed League of Nations
I without reservations as submitted
! by the President to the Senate met
j with deserved opposition from the
? Republican Senators. To a league
in that form, subversive of the tra
i ditions and the independence of
America, the Republican party is
I opposed. But our party, by the rec
| ord of its members in the Senate
and by the solemn declaration of its
platform, by performance and by
? promise, approves the principle of
agreement among nations to preserve
peace and pledges itself to the mak?
ing of such an agreement, preserving
American independence and rights*
as will meet every duty America owes
to humanity. This language is pur
postly broad, not exclusive but in?
clusive. The Republican party is
not narrow enough to limit itself to
one idea, but wise and broad enough
to provide for the adoption of tile
best plan that can be devised at the
time of action. The Senate received
a concrete proposition, utterly unac?
ceptable without modifications, which
the Republican Senators effected by
reservations, and so modified twice
voted for ratification, which the
Democratic Administration twice de?
feated. The piatform approves this
action of the Senators. The Repub?
licans insisted on reservations which
limit. The Democratic platform and?
record permit only of rsstlrvations
unessential and explanatory.
We have been taking counsel to?
gether concerning the welfare of
America. We have spent much time
discussing the affairs of government,
vet most of the great concourse of
people around me hold no public of?
fice, expect to hold no public office.
Still in solemn truth they are the
government, they are America. We
shall search in vain in legislative
halls, executive mansions and the
chambers of the judiciary for the
greatness of the government of our
country. We shall behold there but
a reflection, not a reality, successful
in proportion to its accuracy. In a .
fr?e republic a great government is
the product of a great people. They
will look to themselves rather than
government for success. The destiny,
the greatness of America, lies
around the hearthstone. If thrift ?
and industry are taught there and
the example of self-sacrifice oft ap?
pears, if honor abide there and high
?deals, if there the building of for?
tunes be subordinate to the building
of character, America will live in
security, rejoicing in an abundant
tperity and good government at
home and in peace, respect and con?
fidence abroad. If these virtues be
absent there is no power that can
supply these Housings. Look well
. then i the hearthstone; therein all
hope for America lies.

Tribute from Democratic Mayor
Michael J. Fitzgerald, .Northampton's
: Democratic Mayor, in an address of
? welcome to the official notification
committee, assured that body that
"whatever our politics, we all believe
in the sincerity of his excell??ncy."
"You have selected a man,'' he told
the committee, "who has proven his
fitness for any office and if elected he
will bring to the office of the Vice
President of the United States the
same sound, fair judgment and high
? dignity, the same rugged and just prin?
ciples that he has brought to overy of
' tice that he has ever held."
Among the members of the official
committee and visiting notables who
! attended a buffet luncheon as the
guests of Governor and Mrs. Cool
ide in their home just before,
the exercises were Harry M.
Daugherty, who came from Marion as
the official representative of Senator
Harding; Ex-Senator Murray Crane, of

come by the heat at the Coolidge home;
T. Coleman du Pont, of Delaware;

Among the National Committee's

Streets Bedecked for Occasion
A special train from Boston, bearing
175 persons, led by Senators Lodge and
Weeks and Frank Hall, Massachusetts
Republican state chairmau, preceded a
special delegation from Connecticut
: into the city shortly before noon.
Northampton's streets were d??corated
with the national colors, flags and slo
' gans reflecting the city's faith in Mas?
sachusetts and Coolidge. Thre? bands
I took turns playing during the entire
day in a specially erected stand on
.Main Street, and the entilo population
of the Connecticut Valley, which
flocked in early, seemed to enjoy the
. musical diversion before they packed
liumselves sardine-like into the Allen
: Field bowl to hear the speaking.
Governor Coolidge and all members
of the notification committed were
photographed along with the two-fam?
ily Coolidge house in Massachusetts
Street before the raoonday luncheon
' party entered gayly "bedecked "official
; cars" which came in droves to carry
; them to the scene of the notification at
3 p. m.
Harry M. Daugherty, Senator Har
; ding's special representative, delivered
, the Senator's greetings and conferred
? briefly with Mr. Coolidge. After the
I conference he said: *A brief talk with
i Governor Coolidge brings out all the
i faith in the worlii in a Republican vic
: tory this fall. He is an ideal running
: mate for the Senator, and the combina
j tion makes victory certain. The people
; have confidence in both men."
j Calls Harding Stalwart American
No less flattering was the estimate
of Senator Harding expressed by Gov
: ernor Coolidge in his speech: "A leader
in Warren G. Harding, the united
| choice of a united party, a statesman
| of ability seasoned by experience, a fit
I ting representative of the common
| aspirations of his fellow citizens, wise
enough to seek counsel, great enough

; stalwart American."
One of the most interested spectators
! at Governor Coolidge's notification was
! perhaps his father. A delegation from
I Plymouth, Vt., the Governor's parental
! home, also was present.
The elder Coolidge was perhaps not
j so thrilled a-s were the others. He has
?seen his farmer boy son mount stead
i ily up the political ladder step by step
j from minor municipal offices until he
! stepped into th^Governor's chair. He
j is now convinced that "Cal" can !:li
i any office, even the Presidency, and it
; is only a matter of time until he will
1 have attained that.
Immediately after thaj notification
I exercises the Governor consented to
! hol?! an informal reception. The first
? to pass by and grasp his hand were the
i old folks from Plymouth who knew
? him since the day he began to walk.
I All received an affectionate greeting.
i Thousands of others lined up under the
! meixjless rays of the sun and took
? their turn at shaking hands with Mas
1 sachusetts'8 moat distinguished citizen.
Governor Coolidge planned to leave
Northampton to-night for Boston, even
though admonished by Mrs. Coolidge
! that he had better remain here a day
j or two and recuperate ^ from the fa
' ticuing experiences of the day.
'?'It's"the same as any other day," he
commented; "I'd better leave to-night."

Governor Morrow attacked the Demo

SARATOGA SPRING, July 27.
?Rhinelander Waldo, former Po?
lice Commissioner, who is motor?
ing to Lenox with members of his
family, at the United States Hotel
to-nifc-ht surprised Republicans by
saying he would vote the Repub?
lican ticket this fall for the first
'time.
Mr. Walso said: "Until Gov?
ernor Cox made his pilgrimage to
the White House to assure the
President that he stood for Wil?
son policies, I thought that he was
a good deal of a statesman.
"The visit settled him with me.
Now I am in favor of burying
him out of sight, and every other
man running for office on the rec?
ord made by President Wilson,"
Commissioner Waldo was the
regular Tammany candidate for j
Congress in 1906.
termine that the heritage which made us
free, independent and prosperous shall
not be bartered for a mess of unknown
pottage.
"You are called to serve your country
in a time of your country's need," Gov?
ernor Morrow continued. "At home
grave economic, industrial, social and
governmental problems have too long in
the past, and now- continue to press for
and demand s?<b*jtion, and upon their
proper solution depend the prosperity,
security, commercial and financial wel?
fare of our people.
"But, confronted at home with high
: duties and most serious responsibilities,
the present nationai Administration, in?
trusted with the great powers of gov?
ernment, has halted and hesitated and
: blundered, while it bent all of its stub?
born energies upon the task of fastening
upon our country all of the ills of the
world.
"The President and all those who in
the past have bowed to bis will, and he
whom he has covered with his mantle,
committed to hi?* policies, and whom he
now sevks to place in his stead, have for
more tVi?'wa .Ve&f and are now seek?
ing to R?^r?p *us 't>t our nationalism by
clothing the nation in the multi-col?
ored garments of internationalism; to
take from us our sovereignty?and so,
through a League of Nations, to bind us
to the blood feuds of Europe, to make
us the guarantors of shifting, vanishing
boundary lines to the ends of earth, and
, to involve us in the greed and strife
and confusion of the Old World."
In such a time, and with such issues
confronting the country. Governor Mor?
row asserted, Governor Coo'.idge is con?
fidently called upon to serve with a
leader who "has spoken clearly, bravely
and convincingly."
"His voice rings out now like a bugle
through the land." he said. "We now
await your message, convinced that it
| will be in full accord with the time
honored, time-proved policies of the Re?
publican party, and that it will pro
! claim our party's principles of service
to the nation and its people.
"When you hr.ve spoken, America will
kno'.v that ?:aptain and mate have turned
the old ship of state from her wander?

j the past gave and which the future

here and to fulfill, as we always have

Miss Kitty Marion
Is Alive and Well
Birth Control Advocate,
Who Disappeared July
IS, ?s Notv in Monticello
Special Dispatch to The Tribun*.
MONTICELL, N. Y., July 27.?Miss
Kitty Marion, militant suffragist and
birth-control advocate, missing from
New York since July 13, when she
left a tragic note, broadly intimating
that, she was about to shuffle off this
mortal soil, is alive and well. At the
home of Mrs. Elizabeth Worth M?ller
in this city, Miss Marion ?3 eating
throe meals a day, sleeping at night
and enjoying the natural products of a
restful world.
Mrs. Muller says she found Miss
Marion in the M?ller woods. The
birth-control advocate was living in a
tent. She was persuaded to accept
the hospitality of the M?ller home and
has lived quietly since that time.
Miss Marion to!d correspondents
that she had become weary of police
interference in the efforts of herself
and others to sell "The Birth Control
Review." She wrote a note to Mrs.
Annie Kennedy, advertising manager
of "The Review," and then started in
the direction of the wild country up
ti < Hudson. She took the boat to
Newburgh, N. Y., and then boarded a
train for Liberty. The name of this
town appealed to her, she said. Lib?
erty was the thing she sought.
From Liberty she walked to Monti
criio. a distance of twelve miles. Then
the tent life (and Miss Marion refuses
to explain her possession of the can
va*fl, habitat) and later the meeting
with Mrs. M?ller.
Mrs. M?ller is a New York suffragist.
She also is interested in the birth con?
trol movement.

Hiram Johnson Campaign
From a Staff Correspondent
MARION, Ohio, July 27.?Senator
Warren G. Harding gave his approval
to-day to a nation-wide advertising
campaign for the Republican ticket to
j be launched shortly from national
' ?-iradquarters in Chicago.
A. D. Lasker, 'head of the Lord &
Thomas Advertising Agency; Scott
' Bone, director of publicity of the Re
. publican National Committee, and Wil?
liam Wrigley jr., who buys advertising
? space for chewing gum advertise?
ments, spent the day with Senator
Harding. The nominee studied adver
', tising copy prepared under their direc?
tion which they brought for his pe
! rusal. After making a few changes he
[ gave it an enthusiastic O. K.
Every line of advertising is to be
? submitted to Senator Harding and the
! principle of truth in advertising will
be followed scrupulously.
Twelve-Word Slogan
In the copy approved to-day was a
slogan of twelve words that soon will
carry a message to American voters
from the pages of newspapers and
magazines, from biilboards along rail?
road tracks from coast to coast and
border to border and by means of
every other device of modern advertis
. ing method;;. This slogan contains the
punch of the campaign. It will greet
all America at the breakfast table in
the near future.
Two of the men who have mapped
' out this campaign?Messrs. Wrigley
and- Lasker?were closely connected
i with the pre-convention campaign of j
; Senator Hiram Johnson. Mr. Lasker
; was chairman of the Borah-Johnson
i mass meeting in Chicago a dav hffore j
! the convention opened. Mi?i Wrigley
also supported Johnson irt a financial \
| way. He said to-day i
"Harding is the man of the. hour. He
is the man the people want."
In connection with this elaborate ad- ;
vertising campaign it was said that
j the Republican campaign began to j
i function two years ago and that the j
party has taken the offensive and
means to keep it. On the other hand, j
the Democrats have no organization
and have just selected a chairman for
. their National Committee.
There is a disposition on the part of
Parley Parker Christensen, nominee of
the P'armer-Labor party, to take ad?
vantage of the superior publicity or?
ganization of the Rep'iblican party, but
I the nominee has declined to be used
i as an advertising medium for the third
party candidate.
Last week Christensen wired asking
I Senator Harding and Governor Cox to
? join with him in a plea for execu?
tive clemency for Eugene V. Debs,
nominee of the Socialist party. Mr. j
Christensen. encouraged by the sue- i
cess of that telegram, has now sent j
Senator Harding a seven-page telegram i
about the Polish situation. This was I
not made public at Harding headquar- ?
ters, and any answer that may be sent j
will be very brief.
Acceptance Speech Praised
John T. Adams, of Iowa, vice-chair- j
man of the Republican National Com- j
mittee, stopped iff Marion to-day while |
on his way to Chicago from Washing- ;
ton. After a conference with Senator j
Harding, Mr. Adams said:
"Senator Harding's speech of ac?
ceptance was a masterly one.
"It dealt with the great issues before j
the public in a manner which was at ,
once statesmanlike, strong and up-to- \
date. ? hear commendation of it every?
where. I believe Harding and Coolidge
will sweep the country. Senator
Harding is strong in Iowa and in the
West, and he will grow in strength
frr.m now to Election Day."
Convict Murdered
In Prison Fight
AUBURN, N. Y., July 27.?Philip
Nissman, twenty-four years old, a
convict in th'e state prison here, was '
murdered in the prison yard by fellow :
inmates to-night, following a series of
fights in which several convicts par?
ticipated.
Nissman was stabbed through the
heart with a knife.
Percival J. McDonough. another con
vii-t. was seriously wounded.
Prison officials declared the killing ;
of Nissman was the result of a "gang
fight," but it was learned bad feeling
existed among many of the convicts
as a result of the election of the Mutual
Welfare League yesterday, when new j
officers were chosen. The old faction, ;
of which the secretary and sergeant at
arms escaped several weeks ago, lost !
all the offices, except one place on the !
board of directors. Nissman belonged I
to the winning faction, and indications ?
are that his death may have been due to ;
a feud in which Mutual Welfare League
politics figured.
Nissman, according to Superintend?
ent Rattingan, was a troublesome pris
oner. He got into a fight in the yard
during the afternoon period. The dis?
turbance was quelled by Mutual Wel?
fare League men charged with enforc?
ing discipline, but the trouble broke

Special Dispatch to The Tr(b*me
DAYTON, Ohio, July 27.?Senate?
! Pomerene to-day obtained the indorse
| ment of Governor James M. Cox to ?
proposal that the Kenyon Senatorial
j committee investigating campaign ex^
| penditures be reconvened to probe re*
ported plans for vast campaign fund*
by both parties.
Governor Cox also took under ad?
visemer.t another proposai of the Obi?
Senator that a constitutional amend?
ment be submitted to the people by
which control of expenditure?- in Uli
tional campaigns could be giver 'o
Congress.
Senator Pomerene said he aiready
: had written to Senator Kenyon. who
?8 vacationing in the Maine woods, urg?
ing that the investigating committee
be reconvened at once to probe contem?
plated expenditures in the present
Senatorial campaign. No reply has
been received, but Senator Pomerene is
confident Mr. Kenyon will call the com?
mittee into session in the near future.
Would Check Plans
"The purpose of reconvening ?he
committee is not so much in the hope
of unearthing anything radically
r wrong as to check reported plans for
vast expenditure^." Mr. Pomerene -aid
after his conference with Governor
Cox to-day. "I have heard of huge
sums that it is proposed to mise s.nd
spend in the Presidential campaign,
j and I think a stop should be placed
I upon this."
Constitutional lawyers, Mr. Pomer
i ene says, are agreed that a constitu
| tional amendment is needed to trive
Congress real control over national
campaign expenditures, because of
i state's rights in naming electors. Th?
; proposed amendment either would pro
! vide for direct vote for the President
or- would grant Congress authority to
control funds spent rn the election of
| electors for President.
Speech Reaay Saturday
Mr. Pomerene's conference was the
only one which broke in upon Cox**
seclusion at Trailsend to-day. where
the nominee wrote In long hard mni.y
pages of his speech accepting the Dem?
ocratic nomination. He said to-day he
expected to have his speech completed
by Saturday.
The nominee and the Ohio Senator
had a long conference, devoted chiefly
to the question of campaign expendi?
tures and the proposed constitutional
amendment, but the League of Nations
situation in Congress also was touched
upon, and the reference to be .nade to
the league in the nominee's speech.
' Governor Cox is seriously consider?
ing plans for an extended tour of Mon?
tana in September. He has received a
I number of invitations urging that he
I give attention to *hat state.
Plans for the civic reception to Cox
| here Friday are rapidly nearing carople
I tion, and it is planned to have Dayton
?gay with flags and bunting for

tion at the Montgomery County fa r
grounds August 7 ilso are proceeding
rapidly.
