WAilftKOTON, Auf, I''. - Rea.tlon from the Harding n at Minion yes terday In highly favorable from this point of observation, it is the opinion here that now Gov. Cos will nave to tick to the league of Nations as one the big issues or the cam Da bin. whether li.' wants to or not. The effect of the Harding speech, to the eyes of observers hi re, Is mainly to tin ki t III Meet Beonomie C risis. Next in Importance win come the re- coustruetlon and labor problems and fur boih the Kepubllran party Is reany to offer constructive measures. The Sen ator will begin forthwith to untold hU programme for meeting the economic crisis growing OUt of the war. Im haled In that lastlu will be the re modelling of the Government, restoung It to Its pre-war basis and the eliin Inntlon of the Presidential superpower given as a war emergency, li will in clude the question of our national bank ing system and the Federal Keservo banks: restoration of the railroads, in dustrial relations and the high cost of living. Th:s whole subject Is to be dealt with In a big, comprehensive way and the Senator Is prepared to tell the country exactly where It stand and what he believes must be dine. He will not pick out a sensational situatl.n here and there and seek to make political capital of it. His programme will be to ,how the country what the Repub lican party wishes to do. In the series of speeches to be made from the front porch and elsewhere the Senator will treat each' of theso problems In detail, but always pointing out how they are correlated. To labor the Senator will deliver a xceedlngly leer the truth of the assertion that the eiei tion of Harding leans tioU k peace, with the protection .if American rights and doctrines, wulle the election of Cos wo Id mean an in definite prolo, King ol ;he Interminebl wrangls between the White House and the Senate In a still futile attempt to loist the Wilson Internatlonallsation t)n am on Vnv r i a.

William Barnes of Albany had nothing whatever to do with getting up the pub lication "Republicanism of Nineteen Twenty," which recently has received newspaper publicity as "Boss Barnes's book," according to a statement Issued last night by Its editor, Frank Hen drlck, an attorney of 120 Broadway Furthermore, Mr. Hendrlck declares, Mr. Bames hud nothing to do with obtain ing contributions for the volume and no personal knowledge of them It Is designed, according to Mr. Hen drlck. who la the author of the longest article In the book, as a guide for cam- ftnlgna conducted by Republican candi dates and deals exclusively with national issues The title page reads; "Republicanism of Wlnetean-Twenty, JCdltod by rVink Hendrl.lt Published by Mh.my Eitning Journal, the Journal Publishing Company, publisher, William Barnes president" fust la fitO a Volume.

"Ton boys won your battle on the western front, and very soon now I nm going to win my battle on the western front," Gov.

The Democratic campaign has been developed sufficiently to lay bare Its motives. The evident purpose is to drive hard and fast away from the league, t" divert attention from the Democratic Administration and sub nitute sensations for Issues. The Re publicans have been awaiting this de velopment Some have been impatient for 'he Republicans to take a more ag gressive position, but the wisdom of their strategy is becoming more ap parent. Now they are ready to move and they see clearly where they are going. The Senator oligarchy issue has fallen flat. That was tlov. Cox's first sensa tion. Already It apptars to have been forgotten even by the Democrats who camouflage. raised It. Next followed the $13,010,000 cam paign fund. That Is not giving Republi can managers the sMghtest concern. Senator Harding and his personal man ager will not reply to Cox's charges. Will H. Hays, chairman of the National Committee, will answer for the nominee and party and answer officially before the Senatorial committee. Noted Men Contribute. There are articles on John Marshall.

It is expected that within the rii ar future the Senator may charge that the I'nited States used force In com pelling South American republics to en ter the league. He may discuss affairs Bl Hayti and San Domingo. Among the expressions received to day at headquarters on the league tpeeeh were the following : George Sutherland, formerly United Mates Senator af Utah, who Is visiting the Senator: "That speech shows the Senator to be a fighting man. It Is a tghting speech, a challenge and a de nance. It defllnes the Issue in terms that cannot be misrepresented. The American people love a fighter and they l.ave one in Hanflng." Prank B.

Our first shot hit a hull's-eye. j Mr. Hays gave out this statement to night: "Candidate Cox has charged that millions have been paid to the Repub lican National Committee by sinister influences to buy the Presidency. Yes terday he Is reported to have said In New York that many men are making contributions to the Republican cam paign fund for the purpose of using the bayonet to settle Industrial difficulties. Candidate Cox will have a chance to prove these charges this week. This he cannot do, for the simple reason that the charges are absolutely false. His declarations arc an Insult to the thou sands of good citizens all over the coun try who are aiding with small contri butions In this popular campaign for funds to help elect a Republican Presi dent. "The name of cverone of the thou sands of men and women contributing every single dollar will, of course, be given to the Senatorial committee, and the quality of the cltlxenshlp which constitutes that list will he such a con demnation of the veracity and Judgment of Cox that the whole country will know him.

While neither Mr. Hays nor Mr. Up ham would anticipate testimony by say ing exactly what figures would tx presented, it was generally understoo ' that the national campaign budge which It was said would be present to the committee, would total t,7l,0O0. porta nee of the Republican party-ffs a permanent Institution for the main tenance Of popular government as dis tinguished from the arguments properly based en the exigencies of a national campaign." said M.

"The contributions to the expense of the hook were made by men who desired that such a volume be presented to the public during the campaign ns a supple ment to the efforts nf political commit tees. While William Barnes has spon- Bored the book, and his name has been an assurance to the eminent men who have contributed money and articles, yet Mr. Barnes has had no personal knowl edge of the sources of contribution. The work of collecting for the expenses of publicstlon terminated with the nomine tfon of candidates. "The critical attention given to the book by the New York World and the Democratic candidate for President, without the slightest knowledge of the book itself, has created such a demand for the volume that an additional edition has had to be provided." Mr. Hendrlck declared the volume was "a labor of love" and not Issued with an idea of profit. He wouldn't be surprised, he said, if 100,000 copies were disposed of eventually. WHITE IN CHICAGO TO TELL OF COX FUNDS Professes Pleasure at Chance to Meet Senators.' Will Snpport Gov. Cox. Mr. oi'len Indicated that the League for Disabled Soldh rs will announce formal support of Gov. Cox to-day. He s: Id that, while the organization is nonpartisan, it is Impelled to support the Democratic nominee because hr has promised 'his suppirt to the league's ad vocated measures, while the league re ceivei no reply from Senator Harding pi an Identical inquiry regarding his att'tude Gov. Cox was escorted through the hospital bv Major Henry Keycs. cimmandnnt, and Mnjor Drake Fon Ville, chief of surgical staff, both of whom were congratulated by tho Gov ernor upon the splendid condition of tbe Institution and the universally sunny deposition and apparent contentment or the patients. F.fforts of Senator Pat Harrison of Democratic campaign headquarters, to pull Gov. Cox away, were futile tin til he had shaken hands and talked to nearly every soldier. Among them were three Ohloans. Cecil O. Smith nf Columbl'S, W. C. Malkowskl of Akron a:id Edgar M. Hall of Cincinnati, and with them tho Governor had his picture taken. At another time Sergeant Joe Lura of 1"4 Second avenue, New York, formerly of the Eighteenth Balloon Battalion, gained the attention of the candidate long enough to get an exclusive picture with his own camera. Among the cases In which Gov. Cox showed particular Interest was that of j Clyde It. S.-hryver of Syracuse, a younsj at llM. wiiu in rcgurueu ;u wwiug m a serious condition because of gas. Young ficbryver has had a picture of Gov. Cox hanging over his bed ever since he was nominated and anxiously Inquired for the Governor until his arrival. He told the nominee of his admiration for him and his wishes for his election. Gov. Cox held the youth's frail hand and re plied : "I am more proud of your confidence nnd interest In me than anything I have seen for a long while. I hope that 1 shall be able to Hue up to your trust. God bless you." l.nuKhs With Patients. The Governor also Inspected several exquisite little sketches by Schryvcr on the walls and a beautiful piece of stained glass work In the window. Gov. Cox was greatly Interested In Lawrence McLear of Tupper Lake. N. Y., another gas victim, whose father will furnish the blood to-day for a transfu sion operation In hope of Improving his boy's condition. He talked with the fa ther nnd son for several minutes. "Where Is your home?" he asked A. K. Rogers, formerly of the Ninetieth Division. "Fresno, Cel.," replied the soldle', who stood beside his cot In his dressing rcbe. "Good." answered the Governor. 'Til be through Fresno pret,ty soon. If you will write your parents and tell them to look me up I'll tell them about see ing you. I'll tell them you are looking fine, feeling better all the time and don't need anything but a shave." Rogers rubbed his stubby chin with a grin and thanked his visitor. Gov. Cox kept up that sort of running fire of cheerful comment with nearly all the disabled men, and In at least one Instance started a competition between two men to see which will be able to throw his crutches away first The nom inee seemed to forget all about politics after he had been In the hospital flf'een minutes. He was visibly moved by sev eral of the more serious cases. Occa sionally a soldier brought him back to politics with an expression of wishes for his success. Fred M. Culley of the Brooklyn Post Office called the Governor over to his cot and said: "If you are elected do all you can for the disabled soldiers, but don't forget the postal em ploye es." As the nominee left the hospital a good slsed crowd from about the neigh borhood, having learned he waa there. (''institution of the United States nnd show some evidence of an attempt to your responsibility to enforce of the State of New York against the sale of liquor, I shall call the attention of the Governor to his duty to remove you from office. "It Is the New York Tammany crowd Which Is responsible for the nomination of Gov Cox as a candidate whom the thirsty In this vicinity might be gold bricked into voting for In the belief that his election would upset tha prohibition amendment Tammany to-day, Instead of holding up licensed saloon keepers for Its campaign funds, Is apparently planning to hold up violators of the law On a scale surpassing anything ever be fore known, and in order to do this Is nm only Ignoring but actually encourag ing violation of the law and the amass ing of III gotten gains which ure to be divided with It "New York City under tlie control of Tammany Is evidently the centre of a conspiracy to raise h crooked slush fund the like of which the country has never seen, to be spent In behalf of G v. Cox directly by the wets In order that It may not have to be reported eg part of the regular party campaign fund. "There can be no possible question by any honest, intelligent rcrsnn that tlie portions Of the crooked State law no: Invalidated by the Supreme Court prohibit the sale of any liquor contain ing more than 2.73 per cent, alcohol, and there Is no reasonable doubt that. With all Its weakness. It contains a valid prohibition of the sale of anything con taining less than 2.7.'. per cent, and moro than one half of one per cent of alcohol. "Your responsibility for Its enforce ment Is indisputable, and even though you may be willing to try to discredit the honest prohibition enforcement de partment of the Federal Administration of your own party, we Intend that you shall not escape the exposure of your neglect and your refusal to ilo your duty." after It Is noted by tno A. r. oi u. chiefs that Senator Harding as a mem ber of the Sixty-fourth, B.xty-fifth and Sixty-sixth Congresses frequently voted convictions that re now brandod "un favorable." Harding's vote for the Cummins Railroad Bill, his vote to strike out the labor charter from the League of Nations and his votes on the Tavenner amendment being Included In this denunciation. Considering Cox's record, first as a member of Ihe Sixty-second Congress and then as Governor, the labor chiefs discover to their obvious satisfaction that he has been "favorable" all the way through. They find nothing against him, not an "unfavorable" vote In Blxty Instances. Comparing Harding's speech of ac ceptance with Cox's speech of accept ance, the labor heads find Jlardlng "Indiffircnl" at least On th other hand, Cox's pronouncements are warmly commended. Thereupon the trio, Gompers, Woll and Morrison, issue this appeal to laboring men: "There can 1 but one conclusion based upon a careful and Impartial survey of the actions and declarations of the candidates. Governor Cox has shown himself possessed of a fuller understanding of the needs of the working people, a readier response to their needs and to their proposals and a broader statesmanship In his public discussions of the problems of the In dustrial world. "In addition to his superior under standing. Gov. Cox Is the candidate on a platform which labor has declared 'marks a measure of progress not found in the Republican platform.' and the planks of which more nearly approxi mate the desired declaration of human rights than do the planks found in the Republican. Not only In the specific utterances relating directly to questions held paramount by labor Is the compar ison favorable to Gov. Cox. His pro gressive and constructive viewpoint Georga White, chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee, and Wilbur W. Marsh, treasurer, left New York yes terday afternoon for Chicago, where they will appear before the Senate Inves tigating committee to tell what they know about the national campaign funds of the Democrats. Mr. White said he and Mr. Marsh are glad of the opportunity afforded by the Investigation to let the public have the fullest possible Information about the manner In which tho Democrats are raising the money to finance the Cox race, how much they they have collected, how much they have In prospect and the sources from which It cornea.

Tho same exasperation must be felt regarding mnny of the ut terances of Candida tea However, the viewpoint of Gov.

This is a record of fidelity to humanity, of under standing of the needs of the great masses of the people that has few equals In American political life. "With the workers of America rest the right of deciding for which candi date they shall vote.

VICTORY HALL The War Memorial and Civic Forum as it will look in Pershing Square ON THANKSGIVING, Thursday, Novem ber 25th, at sunrise, the Public Appeal for funds to build Victory Hall will begin. $ 20,000,000 is the required sum. The Appeal will continue for ten days, ending at sundown of Saturday December 4th, and a carefully organized effort will be made to carry the opportunity for giving into every house in this city. San Francisco, with a population less than one eleventh that of New York City, gave in ten days, May 19M to 29M, 1920, by popular subscrip tion for her War Memorial, the sum of nearly $2,000,000. Kansas City, with a population less than one eighteenth that of New York City, gave for the same purpose from October zjth to November th, 1 9 1 9, in the same number of days, over $2,500,000. New York City, with a public-spirited popula tion of 5,621,151, will be asked tor do in honor of her war dead relatively less than San Francisco and relatively less than one-half as much as Kansas City has already done for hers. Victory Hall is to be-not a rich man's me morialbut a people's memorial in the truest, fullest sense. It will be a duty and a privilege for those who can to contribute liberally; but the single coin, given understandingly, from some newsboy's slen der store of nickels, will rank hizh in sentimental value. , The one important thing is that all'the people big and little, old and young-shall each have a share in this enduring token of our great city's deathless gratitude to those thousands of her sons and daughters who not only maintained, but nobly enhanced her honor in the Nation's service and at the cost of their lives. Remember! The Victory Hall Appeal will begin at sunrise of Thanksgiving Day. Meanwhile, if you make your will, include in it a bequest to Victory Hall Association, Charles H. Sabin, Treasurer, Guaranty Trust Company, 140 Broadway, New York. VICTORY HALL ASSOCIATION By George W. Wincate, President 4 East 43rd Street, New York Gty
