FULL PUBLICITY
WANTS WEEKLY IJ8TS OF CAM-
PAKiN RECEIITS AND EX­
PENSED PLIM^UED.
Dayton, Ohio, July 28.—Demo
cratic nominees will demand that a
list of all campaign expenditures as
well as contributions, be submitted at
least weekly 1o the Kenyon senatorial
committee for investigation, Gover
nor Cox said here today.
Cox has stated he desires the com
mittee to be reconvened as soon as
possible and to continue in session
during the campaign. Plans for this
"pitiless publicity" of the big war
chests of both parties will be dis
cussed by the nominee today or to
morrow with Senator Po»erene, of
Ohio, one of the democratic members
of the committee. Cox indicated he
intended to stress the investigation of
the campaign expenditures and would
ask an inquiry into state as well as
national funds.
With campaign costs on the same
level as the cost of living leaders ad
mit that it may be "hard sledding for
both parties to secure the funds nec
essary to carry on as wxteasife a bat
tle as in 1916.
The importance Cox^ attaches to
campaign funds investigations was in
dicated by the fact that his confer
ence with Pomerene is the only one
he will allow to interfere with the
writing of his acceptance speech.
The scene of the Cox notification,
it has been decided definitely will be
the county fair grounds here, instead
of Trail's End, his home.
A large temporary grandstand will
be erected which with the pavilion
will give a seating capacity of about
5,000. Present plans are to have a
o'clock followed by the notification
ceremonies.

FISCAL AGENT
RUSSO-POLISH SITUATION' PRE­
SENTED BY DEEOSSI3:
Marion, O., July 28.—First liani
information o conditions in Russia
and Poland was given Senator Hard
ing today by C. H. Pefosse, a New
York fiscal expert, who recently re
turned from Europe. They discussed
the relation of this country to Euro
pean habilitation.
In a statement Mr. Defosso said he
had taken the position that this coun
try should go slowly in its foreign
committments and that he was well
pleased with the attitude taken by
the senator.
"I think Senator Harding fully re
alizes the immensity of the task that
will confront his administration."
the statement continued, "and that
he is anxious to equip himself with
the best possible understanding r.f
these matters.
"The fact is that an extremely
grave crisis confronts Europe. Trot
zky has proven a good deal of a geni
us, and he 1ms built in Russia an
army numbering probable 1,750,00m.
I regard it as the greatest military
force in the world today. This is a
good time for America to give par
ticular attention to its own interests
and as little as possible to the con
cerns of other nations."
Senator Harding had no other ex
tended conferences today, devoting
most of his time to correspondence
Late in the afternoon he took an au
tomobile ride. He p^ans to spend
most of the week qufetly, but will
prepare a short speech to be made
Saturday when the front porch cam
paign is opened by the visit of a del
egation from Mansfield, Ohio.
It was announced that Harry M.
Daugherty, manager of Senator Hard

C. Wallace, the Des Moines publisher
of farm periodicals, declared himself
greatly pleased with his talk yester
day with thf1 senator on farm re
forms.
"The farmers In the corn belt
states," he said, "welcome certain
things in Senator Harding's speech
of acceptance with about the same
thankfulness that they would wel
come a 24-hour rain after a July
drouth. The farmer has suffered
fearfully under the Wilson adminis
tration, especially |live stock produc
ers.
"Senator Harding intends to re
store the department of -agriculture
to its proper functions and its real
usefulness to the farming communi
ty that it. used to sustain. After
talking with Senator Harding I am
greatly impressed with his thorough
understanding of what is needed.
Senator Harding asked me if it
were true that there are actually few
er people on farms in Iowa than there
were 40 years ago. I told him it was
a fact, and he was shocked. I can
not to strongly emphasize my gratifi
cation at observing how understand
ing^ Senator Harding views all these
problems. He has the vision of what
must be done, and he has the courage
to undertake and insist upoa the do
ing of it."
