himself to-day In perfect harmony
with Harding, convinced, as he eays,
that Harding's appreciation will sat

Taft's, is founded upon the conviction
that Mr. Harding is a man of great
good sense, practical experience and
real liberality, and that Mr. Harding

ment Is spreading rapidly in the larger
cities and ports. In Trieste a general
strike has been proclulmed, and the
dock workers have Joined in It, threat
ening to hoist the red flag and to
operate industry and transportation
themselves.
Milan and Turin are centres of the
revolt, and ' the workers are nrmed
with rifles and machine guns. In one
factory they have even a small calibre
cannon mounted before the door and
are ready for action.
Persons arriving here from Milan
declared that more red flags than Ital

the Italian workers denied that they
had Instituted Sovietlsm. ,
Owners and superintendents of fac
tories, they said, are not allowed to
enter their plants, a workmen's com

tee, they added, has advanced wages
30 to 50 per cent.
The situation In Genoa was reported
to be critical. The dock workers were
reported to have picketed the city, and
were said to have plenty of machine
guns. There Is no confirmation to be

Gov. ('ox's new charge followed a
lonx conference with Mr. Moore at the
candidate's rooms In the Congress Hotel,
following which Mr. Moore went to
Michigan to remain until the Senate
Committee meets again In Chicago
Tuesday. Gov. Cox sent Mr. Moore
there apparently to follow up some
trails which were turned up Friday
when the Democratic candidate made a
series of speeches In the State. One of
them will be publication In a Republican
newspaper at Oshkosh of an article
which Is said to have referred to the
"raising of a quota" there for the Re

Cox Repeats Slash Charre.
Apparently a large percentage of
Democrats are trying to help Gov. Cox
and Mr. Moore bolster up their charges.
They are receiving considerable mall
containing newspaper clippings which
have to do with the subject and lists of
names which 'the senders would like to
have presented to the committee In the
hope that they will be made to appear.
Mr. Moore Is under subpoena to appear
when sessions are resumed Tuesday,

Obviously, therefore, the main business
of the managers of the Republican cam

Republican rule from the business stand

proper encouragement of business and
greater all round prosperity. (Innumer
