WONT REPLY DAILY

f May Develop Into Morning
Session of Senate.
COLUMBUS, O.. Juty 14. Charging
that Senator Harding the Republican
presidential nominee had made his
'front porch a listening post," Gover
nor Cox, the Democratic nominee, to
day issued a statement replying" to
Si nitor Harding's statement at yester
day that the Wilson administration!
had saddled the league of nations up
on him as the chief campaign Issue I
Governor Cox's statement said his!
campaign will he dedicated to the j
t::-k of bringing pence with honor on
readjusting the affairs of civ illzalion .
and of creating a new day out of
which we will make the best of the j
lessons of the past.
nil l FRF.Nt l OF OPINION
The governor declared the things
Senator J larding believes vital andi
pertinent "form Irs Isolated pej-spce-'
the will not. In ail probability; be sol
regarded by me."
'i h' governor's statement given to.
th" newspaper correspondents at Hie
morning conference follows:
r "1 recognize the eagerness of the i
gentleman of the press who aro as-j
signed here to develop news copy
dally. I have no disposition to dis
courage that enterprise, lut at the j
very outset It is well that we have thtv
understanding of a very fun damentaj I
phase of the present situation.
"Senator Harding has made two
definite unnounct lhi -nt's: that he pro-;
jioses to hai k bcik to the days of
thirty years ago, SXXd that he will
make of his front porch a listening
post. This means Uiat he will be as
far removed from the Tunning. cur-
rent of progressive thought as the'
senatorial oligarchy of Lodge and P i
rosc and Smoot has been removed j
from the heart beats cf the American,
people for a year or more.
PEACE WITH EIOXOR
"My campaign will be dedicated to,':
the task of bringing peace with honor,
of readjusting the al fairs of civilian 1
Hon and of creating a new day out j I
of which we will nwK. the best of the j
lessons of the past. Therefore, things
that the senator believes vital and per- I
ytV tlnent from his isolated perpectlve will M
HBI not, in all probability be so regarded I
by me. His last statement Is but a
R&HH reiteration of what has een said In M
Vssssa the senate time after time so that 1 1
tlf this campaign on the one hand de
velops into mere morning sessions of
the senate, you will very readll pef
oalve tho uselessness of dally re-
spouse."
M Senator Harding Issues
m Nation League Statement.
jjM MARION, 1 'hio, July 3enatoi
Hfl Harding charged In a statement to-
BBbjbs i.lght that President Wilson bad forced
the Democratic presidential and vice
flH presidential nominees to accept his'
H vie.W that the league of nations should,
H become the dominant campaign Issue. I
H The president's one concern, the sen-'
m ator eaid, Is the "vindication of his
HBM foreign policy" and he Insists upon,
QflBH "his issue regardless of costs or con-.
BIH sequences."
SjlSjH "The Republican party nnd candi-j
3H dates gladly accept tho challenge," the
statement said 'We are more than
iegTSji willing to make the election a national'
SnB referendum on the question whether
we shall have luur years n.ore of the
Democratic- reudinu to surrender till
fflfl republic."
EjMgfl The statement resulted from the au-
Iwl nounceinent of Franklin D Roosevelt,
fflfla the vice presidential candidate, tollow-
ftiMW ing his conference yesterday with Oov-
InHl ernor Cox that his campaign would
ft -MM be made chieflv on the league issue.
SlK7 HARDING STATEMENT.
BHl The statement follows-

BW1 Cox left 11 the the vice presidential
Wp& I nominee to make known the conciu-

IX lo speak for both of them, the vice j
presidential nominee stated 'that he
considered the league of nations one
tSi of the dominant Issues of the cam
paign, not only In the cast but in the
39a west. He expected to make his cam-
palgn chiefly on the league of nations
issue.'
"So we hav the complete proof thai

that is the vindication of his foreign

presidential nominee He sent word H
j to tho convention that he did not want
; the nomination.
Immediately after Chairman Walker
had announced LnFollctte's decision H
not to accept a nomination. Lester
Harlow, leader of the World War Vet. H
erana demanded that DaFollette be H
: drafted despite his wishes. H
Barlow charged that the convention
was "boss ridden by a secret, intriguing
clique" and that its leaders were con- SB
ceallhg LaFollette's platform for fear
the convention would adopt it. His
I appeal started an uproar and de:e- H
gates demanded the platform be reau. H
PARADE IS STAGED.
Some one swung a large photograph
of the Wisconsin senator before tho
convention and draped it in an Amen-
Hag The Non-Partisan leaguers H
; from the Dakotas staged a parade
, with the state standards and stai'i H
after state fell into line. Pandemou-
urn reigned for thirty minutes and

! which Harlow had armsed Of coo- IBss!

At 1145 a. m. the platform con- J
I ference ordered the typing of a third jJ

vention adjourned until that time. H
SIGNS Ol BREAKUP.
The first intimation of tho break
Ing up of the new party movemen'
followed last night's session when the J
Single Taxers withdrew, adopted their
I one plank platform and nominated H
their own presidential candidate. For H
I president they chose Robert MacCaul- H
j ley. of Philadelphia and for vice-
slib nt they sH.-eted K C. B.iinum,
I of Cleveland. They quit the new 1
parts, .lernme C. Reis. a Single Tax

j apparent they could not obtain their B
platform d. -sires and a candidate com- pH
mitted to them but also because they 1
l "could not stand the Socialistic ideas
I of the dominant 1-abor group.
TUMULTUOl s SCENES.
The birth of the new party yester
d.iv alter five days of conferences, was H
I attended by tumultuous scenes involv- jH
in- Ji ilousii ind group antagonisms.
. In the very beginning, the Labor party
I organization took control and steered
the course until consideration of the
platform resolutions vvus begun. Sev -era!
planks hail been read and ap
proved when Forty -eighters began
strenuous objections to their relega-
tion lo the background.
There followed quickly demands for
ol ihe proe. dure by which the
resolutions were being passed. In an
effort lo placate the angry delegates.
I the Labor leaders surrendered the
. h itrmanship to Parley P. Chrlstenseo. WW
of Utah, who presided over the origi- iH
nal 4S convention.
The concession failed utterly, how- iilSjJ
ever, to iron out the widely divergent iil
v iews on platform planks. As a re
r.tilt. the fusion movement was again SJH
placed In practically the same posl- WMm
tion In Which it had been during mora
than fifty hours of backing and pull- 1
ing in conference commltiec-s.
