St. Paul, Sept. I Minnesota was
conceded to Harding by 100.000 before
the man himself came here to-day.
Now that his visit Is done with and
the people of St.' Paul and Minneapolis
have estimated the strength and
breadth of his ability and his outlook
and have measured by Invaluable con
tact the attractive personality of the
Republican candidate tho watchers
upon the towers call a greater triumph
for Harding and his cause. Now they
say it will be Minnesota by 150.000.
Surveyed with the utmost calmness,
there remains not the shadow of a
dcubt that the Senator's excursion to
this region of the Northwest, compris
ing in its hurried hours two very
brief and Impromptu talks and one
lrng prepared address at the Minne
sota State Fair Grounds, a reception
at the Lincoln .Club In Minneapolis
lr.ter in the afternoon and a larger re
el ptlon ayt the State Capitol here, to
gether with the truly enjoyable con
tact with more than 100.000 people,
was certainly one of the most effective
strokes conceivable.
The long and short of the business Is
that Harding made new friends by the
thousand made them by the kind of
speech the people were waiting for, a
speech which first analyzed the tremen
dous food problem of the country both
as It relates to farmers and to con
sumers, and which then put forward the
constructive measures with which he be
lieves evils can be checked or cured i
made them by his faculty for meeting
men and women on their own ground
and in their own way.
Ability a Campaigner Proved.
After this remarkably successful test
there can be no doubt about Harding's
ability as a campaigner. He proved
that he not only "looks the part." but
that he can talk It, think it. feel it.
The comparison of his experience here
with Cox's is inescapable since so many
persona of St Paul and Minneapolis are
making It. The comparison implies
aomathlng of the difference between a
statement of serious thought and likable
manners and a clever vaudeville per
former. When Cox was here two days ago the
people massed by thousands at the Fair
Grounds to see him He was one of the
billed attractions of the exposition, as
much so as the groat red bull, the air
planes, the thundering motor racers and
the Midway. He fell Into the psychology
of this himself, driving a pacing horse
around the track. Cox was a good
"show." worth a dollar or two of any
man s money, But they paid little atten
tion to his speech, which offered nothing
they were Interested In.
Now with Harding to-day. the attitude
of the Minnesota folk 50.000 of them
was utterly different. They were there
to honor a statesman, not a performer.
They received and welcomed Harding
with the same half-reverential attitude
that Americans always exhibit to men
they consider really big. It is a thing
that the experienced observer can sense
very positively. It has a certain feel.
It Is as palpable as osone. In the minds
of the 50,000 who saw him at the State
fair grounds and all of the thousands
who saw and heard him elsewhere, they
were seeing and hearing a big American,
"the kind of n feller you can tie to," as
one farmer said to his neighbor.
He arrived here at 3:30 A. M ac
companied In his private car by Mr".
Harding, the best woman campaigner,
so far as tho wives of candidates go,
that has quickened the pencils of re
porters for. years; by Senator and Mrs.
Harry S. New. Harry S. Daugherty and
the members of his staff and of the news

Kellogg and Gov. Burnquist of Minne
sota, and by young J. A. O. Preus. the
regular Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, together with a long list of
mayors of Minnesota cities. Representa
tives and other folk that have a right
to ride In official cars. It was the first
time that Senator Harding had been
here for 29 years.
50,000 Hear Speech.
From the station Mr and Mrs. Har
ding were taken out to the far spreading
grounds of the Minnesota Fair associa
tion that would open the eyes f East
erners who may assume that 5tale talrs
still are the old time display of rigs and
pumpkins. Not any more. The fair
that Harding vltled to-day la a great
exposition, one that would draw thous
ands In New Tork or any other Eastern
city. It attracts crowds of 110.000 and
more dally, and 50.000 heard tho Sen
ator to-day. Another 50.000 couldn't
get within sweep of his voice, even with
the aid of voice amplifiers.
Frank J. Murphy. President of the
Association, met the Senator at the
gates and became his host and guide.

Washington, Sept. s. The impres
sive victory of Senator George H.
Moses over Huntley N. Spauldlng In
the New Hampshire primary yester
day Is the cause of great pleasure to
Republicans here. The fight was be
ing watched with the closest Interest
everywhere, because It would Indicate
how people feel the country over, gen
rvlly speaking, on two Important
P 'nts.
I 'f most Importance Is the League
if sue. Senator Moses has been con
sistently and completely against the
League of Nations. He made his fight
for renomination on the Republican
ticket with the League as an Issue, and
thr. almost 2 to 1 vote In his favor has
swept away any doubt whether the
country la deceived by the Democratic
claim that "the league of Nations
will prevent war."
Democratic Hopes Shattered.
Democrats have every reason to be
In the dump1, aa a result of the outcome
r.f the New Hampshire primary. Thoir
hopes ere based, among other thlngK
on the success of the League Issue, hop
irg that the country will back up their
candidate In November on the theory
U at America's ehtrance into the Leagu j
will make future wars Impossible ln
ttead of breeding them. Since ratifica
tion of the suffrage amendment they
have been rejoicing because of their cer
tainty that the. League Issue would ap
peal to women.
The size of the New Hampshire vote
indicates that roughly about half of th
votes cast were women's ballots. Not
only does this prove to Republican lead
ers that women are thoroughly alive f
fxactly what the League of Nations
dream really means, but ihat women do
not Intend to do any "spite" voting
'gainst those legislators who conscien
tiously opposed the suffrage amendment
to the Constitution. Senator Moses was
tc the last against granting the ballot
to women. It is evident that he secured
:i big vote f r m women, however.
This angle of the New Hampshire
primary is of Importance in some of the
lomlng Senatorial elections, notably Con
rectlcut and New York. In Connecticut
Frank B- Hrandegee, an earntst oppo
nent of suffrage and of the League of
Nation, was slated for deffat by the
democratic organisation, which was
counting on women to elect Homer 8.
Cummlngs, former chairman of th
democratic National Committee. This
f. eling of security no doubt has received
a severe shock.
Lenroot'a Showing; Pleases.
In New York Henator Wadsworth Is
in practically the same situation as was
Senator Moses In New Hampshire. Ho
opposed suffrage to the last, Mrs. Wads
' orth being the head of the organisation
of women opposed to suffrage. Senator
Wadsworth will hav none of the Wil
son League of Nations either, but is
rot opposed to ftny form of a league as
;tc Senators Moseg and Hrandegee.
The outcome of the Mofles-Spatildtng
battle Is taken here to Indicate success
for Senator Wadsworth In the New
York primary, partly through the efforts
of Republican women, who credit him
with being perfectly conscientious In his
opposition to suffrage, but reallie his
value to the State and to the country.
The victory of Senator Irvine I
Inroot In Wisconsin over the La
Kollotte organization is highly pleasing
to regular Republicans and even to
Democrats of the better stripe. Personal
spite against Lenroot Impelled La Fol
lette to throw his last ounce of Influence
In AVIsconsin Into the fight, his candi
date being James Thompson of La
Crosse.
Senator Lenroot also Is an opponent
of the League of Nations scheme as Mr.
Wilson and Gov. Cox want It.

Paris. Sept. 8. Occidental reactlor

Italy Is not in favor of the lienlne
Trotaky scheme. All despatches
reaching here from Italian cities In
dicate that Communism, brought Into
direct conflict with Western Ideas. Is
having difficulty holding the advanced
position It took there.
The situation in Italy, on which
persona who fear the spread of Bol
shevism are now concentrating atten
tion, appears to be this:
All the big factories embraced in the
metal working Industry, Including the
large steel and automobile p'ants scat
tered throughout northern Italy, are In
complete possession of the workers, In
conformity with the latest Russian prac
tice, and are being defended by machine
guns in the hands of armed proletariat
guards This much the proletariat seem
to have accomplished without the Glollttl
Government raising a hand against them,
presumably because control in the Italian
Chamber of Deputies rests In the hands
of a majority which Ib more or less
revolutionary.
Cannot Get Raw Materials.
But having ejected the -employers, tha
workers are totally unaPle to obtain raw
materials to manufacture goods or to pay
themselves what they consider should be
the fruits of their labors. In other words,
Communism, transplanted'to western Eu
rope, Is failing down when It comes Into
collision with economic realities. Capital
supplies the raw materials anl pays sala
ries, neither of which arc now In the
possession of the workmen who hold the
Italian factories, and they cannot rejuisl
tion them. The result is that production
is at a standstill and the workers, losing
ground, are prepared to bargain with
their employers, who, despite the refusal
of the weak aiollttl Government to sup
port their property rights, are adamant
in holding out against any recognition
of Russian Communism such as Is now
being attempted by certain Italian work
ers. September 10 Is the date set by the
workers for their employers to reply to
their ultimatum. In this ultimatum the
workers demanded that their employers
should grant them a share of the profits
of all factories as well as a voice in
questions of control and for the com
panies to purchase food supplies for the
workers and sell them at cost price. This
represents communism In a somewhat
similar form than the Russian type, aa
it accords some, recognition to capital.
Technician quit Workers.
But not only do the Italian employers
seem unanimous in resisting these de
mands, representing a new social revo
lution, but latest advices received here
show that high salaried tcchnlrlana are
deserting the manufacturing plants and
refusing to make common cause with
the workers. This, with lack of raw
materials, is bringing production to a
standstill.
Unquestionably Italy Is In tho throes
of a mild attack of Sovletism, the out
come of which is worth watching by the
world.
The wliole movement Is now directed
toward obtaining the cooperation of
the transport workers and the miners in
the hope of getting raw material, but
this has not extended beyond an ap

Asquith Calls Government's

LONDON, Sept. S. An lnplredi state
ment Issued to-day Indicates that Pre
mier Lloyd George Is willing to accept
guarantees from Sinn Fein headquar
ters lhat police murders will cease and
that he does not require a personal
guarantee from Lord Mayor Mac
Swiney. If such guarantee is forthcoming. It
ll set forth In the statement. Mae-
I Swiney and the hunger strikers in
th" Cork Jail would be released and
held us virtual hostages, and If the
murders were resumed they would
again be sent to Jail, thus in effect re
verting to what was called the "cat
and mouse" policy adopted In the case
of the suffraeette hunger strikers.
' It Is an Interesting question whether
the Sinn Feiners are prepared to give
such an assurance as to satiety this re
quirement Up to the present they have
insisted upon unconditional release.
In response to an urgent repre
sentation from ex-Sheriff Barney of
he county of Cork, counselling the
immorflate release of the eleven
intrled hunger strikers In fork Jail,
Premier Lloyd George to-day sent a
message declaring that all the hunger
strikers had been arrested "either in the
' set of murderous attacks on police or
soldiers or on clw " idenee Implicat
ing tliem In auch ..ttmKk. and they are
engaged In a combined effort to prevent
' their trial and have reduced themselves
to a physical condition under which a
trial is legally impossible.
"The Government," continues the
Premier, "cannpt allow men charged
with such grave offences to escape trial
by their own act. If this were per
mitted there would be an end to any
possibility of the enforcement of law
and the administration of Justice."
Mrs. MacSwiney on leaving Brixton
Prison this evening after visiting hrr
husband, the Lord Mayor t Cork, said
that twice this afternoon the attending
physician had warned her not te spenk
to her husband, as he wa "living on his
vitality." She added that the Mayor
suffered from giddiness this afternoon.
Friends of the Lord Mayor, his wife
said, were much encouraged at the pres
ence of Premier Lloyd George In Eng
land, he having returned from Lucerne
yesterday, and hoped that something
might ensue favoring the Irish prisoner.
Ex-Premier Asquith. answering an ap
peal from John Howard Whltehouse, for
mer Liberal member of the House of
Commons, for his intervention In behalf
of Mayor MacSwiney, said:
"I think the decision to allow the Lord
Mayor of Cork to die in prison is a politi
cal blunder of the first magnitude. I
would gladly intervene If any appeal of
mine could lead even now to wiser coun
sels prevailing, but I f"ar that the latest
declaration of tho Ministers precludes
any such hope."
Guarantees that attacks upon police In
Ireland must cease are necessary before
the Government ran consider the libera
tion of MacSwiney and other hunger tti Ik
ers, fcays the London Times this morning
In discussing Premier Lloyd George's
views on the subject as outlined In his
interview at Viege, Switzerland.
The newspaper declares the Govern
ment must either protect the forces In
Ireland or withdraw them altogether.

MAY RELEASE CORK
HUNGER STRIKERS
All in Serious Condition and
One Collapses.
Cork, Sept. 8. Ine eleven hunger
trlkers in Cork Jail who are undergoing
the twenty-ninth day of their self-im-
posd fast are all In a serious condition.
I Sean Hennessy, the nineteen-year-old
youth of Hallingarry, Limerick, collapsed
! this afternoon and remained unconscious
for a time. His parents and the prison
.haplain are at hts side to-n'.ght.
The Deputy Lord Mayor, who made
the announcement after his dally visit to
the hunger strikers, said that the con
dition of several of the others was verv
bad
The feeling seems to he growing that
11 the prisoners will soon be released
The Bishop of Cork Informed the Asso
ciated Press to-day that he had gained
the Impression during a recent visit to
London that the Government would
shortly Hberafft the Cork hunger strikers.
The majority of the strikers of th"
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company not
only Ignored the company's ultimatum
about returning to work yesterday but
the more radical element among them
kept up the violence thut has marked
each day of the strike.
Half a dozen trains on elevated and
surface lines were stoned during the
day, and at about the time when Re-
cciver Garrison's time limit expired
strikers or strike sympathizers made
n attempt to wreck a train of the
Fourth avenue subway line near
Thirty-ninth street, Brooklyn, causing
B panic among the passengers but no
loss of lifo sn.l no injuries. The strike
ffr takers also took a hand in the vio
lence, but, curiously enough, they di
rected their activities against the com
pany's property also, eight of them
firing three shots from an automobile
ot a Culver line train.
The attempt to wreck tho Fourth
avenue train was made by inserting a
fishplate upon the tracks so thut It
extended ahove the ruils about two
Inches. It was at such an angle that
had the train been derailed It would
havo been thrown against a partition
wail constructed of concrete, and the
litt of dead and injured would have
: been large. Fortunately the truck of
I the car that hit the obstruction leaped
; Into the air live or six inches, cleared
i the obstructing piece of steel and
bumped back upon the rails.
Train Stopped In Time.
The train was stopped before the
trucks following struck the plate. Offi
cials of the company and of the Public
Service Commission declared that had
the train been dem.led aa had evi
dently been expected by the persons
who attempted to wreck It. the result
ing disaster probably would have paral
leled the Malbone street wreck of 1918
In killed and hurt.
The Incident occurred shortly before
1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, about an
hour after the expiration of the time
limit of the R K. T's ultimatum, as
the train was rounding a curve at
Thirty-ninth street hound from Eighty
sixth street to Park row. There was a
sudden convulsive shake to the front
car, spreading through the entire train,
as the trucks ot the car struck the ob
struction and leaped Into the air. The
train came to a stop at once, anda
short circuit caused the lights to go out
It was .lark In the tunnel, and the sud
den extinguishing of the lights and the
shock of the Impact caused a panic in
the whole train.
The train lay In the darkness of the
tunnel for more than fifteen minutes,
with the motorman and the rest of the
crew unable to find out what was the
trouble, until the police reserves and
an emergency force from the nearest
depot of the company reached the scene.
The power was shut off and the pas
sengers were removed from the train
snd taken to tho express station at
Thirty-sixth street.
Shots Fired at Sobtvay Train.
Two or three hours before the at
tempt to wreck the subway train eight
men who proved to be strikebreakers
were arrested after the firing of three
plctol shots at a Culver line train. The
shots were flred from an automobile
truck which raced abreast of the train

a window and the two other bullets
lodged in the sides of the cars. The
motorman of the train blew a police
whistle and two motorcycle patreJImen
chase! the automobile. They overtook
it and found In It a Colt .23-ca!ihre
automatic pistol and several employees'
badges, as well aa the eight men, who
were arrested.
As none of the officers had seen any
of these men do any shooting, the only
charge made against them was disorder
ly conduct, for which they were held in
$500 ball each for hearing to-morrow.
