MUTT AND JEFF— ' IT’S LUCKY FOR JEFF THAT MUTT READS THE PAPERS. BY BUD FISHER COTTON NEW YORK, July 9.—The cotton market showed renewed irregularity at the opening today, first prices being 25 points higher on the inactive month of September and 2 points higher to 8 points lower on other positions. So far as cnld be learned there was only one or two July notices and there was very little business in that posi tion, but the continued good weather i nthe south led to selling of new crop months with October easing off to 32.62 and December to 31.03 shortly after the can, or 17 to 22 points net lower. Private cables said Liver pool was lower under- selling on rumors of bearish mld-month erop condition figures. Private reports of rains in Texas seemed to help the tone of the market during the middle of the morning, and prices show hl rallies of some 15 to 20 points from the low est, with October selling at 32.82 c, or with in 2 points of yesterday's closing figures. There was not a great <Jcal of buying aside from covering for over the week-end, how ever, and the market weakened again late in the morning owing to a renewal of scat tering Julv liquidation. That delivery sold off to 38.45 c, or 55 points net lower and new crop months showed net losses of some 17 to 19 points during the early afternoon. After selling to 32.51 for October, or about 33 to 36 points net lower on new crop months the market steadied on covering for over the week-end and there were slight rallies but no change in the general news.

July 9.—William G. McAdoo, speaking at the dinner of the National League of Masonic clubs here Thursday night declared “there is no menace so great to our nation as the corrupt use of money for campaign purposes.’” “I was secretary of the treasury for six years and know the harm > that is done by the misuse! of money in this way/’ he said. ‘‘l am not talking about Republicans alone, but Democrats as well, for they all look alike to me when they are guilty of spending money in x tne manner in dicated/’ ' Mr. McAdoo said that “as an Amer ican citizen seeking nothing,” there were some things about the coming election he would like to refer to. The appointment of the senate com mittee to investigate campaign ex penditures he declared was one of the “tew intelligent things the sen ate ever did.” “There is one thing Americans can never stand for,” ne continued, “and that is the purchase of the presidency of the United States.” “In my opinion the election law should be changed,” he said. "The expenses fbr running the national elections should be paid out of the national treasury and if this were done the cost would be infinitely less. It would be reduced one-fifth. The money should be taken from the federal treasury and the law should prescribe specifically how the money should be spent. If’such a step were taken it would to a great extent purify our laws. “It would then be out of the ques tion to pass laws for crooked poli ticians who have to be repaid in some way for the moneys they have advanced for some candidate’s cam paign.” He urged a nation-wide presi dential primary at which nominees would be selected without the aid of political bosses. The presidential primaries in va rious states during the recent cam paign, he declared, were a disgrace to the nation. He proposed that nominations be made in the nation al conventions by plurality vote, in stead of the two-third vote of the Democrats and the majority vot-e of the Republicans. To make this successful, ho- asserted, national politics, must first be purified. ’’The nominee must be the nomi nee of the people, not of the bosses,” Mr. McAdoo said. “The nominee of the future must not be the selection of a bossed convention. The dele gates must really represent the peo ple, so that the candidate can go for ward and make a fight for the peo ple.” Mr. McAdoo said the only method of preserving peace is the’ adoption of a League of Nations and sooner or later, America will see it in its proper light,. In order to stabilize conditions in. the central powers it is necessary, he said, to aid in curbing economic boycotts directed against those na tions. This would also serve to pro mote domestic tranquillity. “Let us all remember," he added, “we have a constitution and all America reveres it, even with the eighteenth amendment. We love the- American constitution and we ac cept it.” Government Issues Forecast of Wheat And Corn Production WASHINGTON, July 9.—An in crease of 28,000,000 bushels in the [ country’s wheat crop as compared j with last month, with a total forecast of 809,000,000 bushels; a prospective j corn crop larger than last year’s and j larger crops of oats, barley, white po tatoes, tobacco, flax and rice than were grown a year ago, were the features of the government’s July crop report issued today by the de partment of agriculture. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Wheat ‘production this year will be 809,000,- 000 bushels, the department of agri culture forecast today, basing its es timate on the condition July 1, of the combined winter and spring wheat crops.

Clara Peck, Former Wife Os Dr. Waite, Remarries An echo of the Waite case, one of the most notorious murders of local criminal history, reached Ney York recently' in the news that Clara Louise Peck, who was the wife of Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, had been married at Pasadena, Cal., on June 4 last. Dr. Waite, a dentist and star tennis player, was executed at Sing Sing on May 24, 1917, for the murder of his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Peck. The former Mrs. Waite’s husband is John L. Caulfield, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who was a playmate and childhood sweetheart of Miss Peck. Waite, by his own confession, kill ed his wife’s mother by administer ing typhoid germs and six weeks later mv-dered his father-in-law with arsenic. His object was to obtain the $2,000,000 fortune which Mr. Peck controlled. A mysterious telegram sent to Mrs. Waite’s brother advising* an autopsy on his- father’s body led to the dis covery of arsenic in. the stomach.. After Waite was convicted and sentenced his wife obtained an an nulment of the marriage.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.—Though the differences between the Republi can and Democratic conventions be few, they are nevertheless worth analyzing. Emotionalism reached its peak in ! the discussion of politics here and in the almost fanatical loyalty with which the supporters of McAdoo re fused to accept his declination to be a candidate and carried his name through a mighty battle because he • seemed to embody the vision of a Wilson and tfie aggressiveness of a Roosevelt. It’s all over now, and neither Mc- Adoor nor Hiram Johnson can be the beneficiary of a post mortem, but there is a striking similarity be tween the devotion of the folks who worshiped Hiram Johnson and the folks who fought valiantly for Mc- Aoo. At Chicago the idealists weren’t even given a hearing. They were bluntly shoved aside and outwitted by the master strategists. At San Francisco the idealists were listened to and then coldly overwhelmed. Few men in recent years have suc ceeded in kindling the emotion to which William Jennings Bryan set fire in the Democratic convention. Hiram Johnson sat by, admiring the reception that a California audience gave to a man who made his appeal on a moral issue, but cruel and unre lenting political expediency sent Bryan to defeat within a few min utes after the delegates and the gal leries had ceased cheering him. They accepted his doctrine but not his frank suggestion that the con vention go on record as it had cheered. Bryan. Humiliated. William Jennings Bryan is grieved and humiliated. His friends see the aged Commoner disappointed, not be cause he wasn’t selected for the presidency, as so many people have insisted was his ambition, but down cast because in the hour of his great est triumph—the ratification of the prohibition amendment —his own par ty turned>a deaf ear to as sincere and forceful a plea as was ever made on a public platform. The memory of Bryan fighting for a dry plank in the Democratic plat form will always be the dramatic episode of the convention. He stood there like a crusader offering his life to a cause, pleading with the dry states not to be deceived by the lead ers from the wet states. But they didn’t heed his advice. They dodged the issue and the wet states nominated a candidate whom Bryan believes is wet. Mr. Bryan will not bolt the party. He - will probably not make any speeches against Governor Cox, for the latter will sooner or-later make it clear that axiy revival of the wet and dry ‘issue rests with congress. Mr. Bryan, however, plans- to fight for a dry congress. In all likelihood ,he will enter the districts of Re publicans and Democrats alike who pome out for any increase in the alcoholic content of beverages. On the treaty issue, Mr. Bryan made the mistake of lugging in his own amendment to the constitution, so that a majority vote instead of two-thirds could end war. He would have been twice as dangerous to the convention If he had suggested that the twenty-one Democratic senators who voted with the majority on reservations to the peace treaty be indorsed. As. it was he fell victim to the effective satire and keen re torts of Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, who distinguished himself in the debate on platform and show ed a set of oratorical teeth that will bite hard into Republican argument, even though this is his first term in the senate. Virginia Loyal to Glass ■ Senator Glass was looked upon by his delegation as a possible dark horse in the event that the dead lock could not be broken. Virginia remained loyal to him and the vocal interruptions by John Joyce, of Nor folk county, Va., his musical excla mation, “Wonderful!” as Senator Glass struck away at ,the foes of the platform, constituted' a species of favorite son .adultation hardly ex celled. The Democratic platform was de bated in the open. The Republican platform was debated mostly behind closed doors. Each convention had its own method. As a matter of fact, notwithstand ing all debate, the program worked out by a majority of the platform committee here in executive session was adopted by the main body of delegates by as big a vote as at Chi cago. The Democrats, however, did put on a better show —William Jen nings Bryan, Bourke Cockran, of New York; Carter Glass and Bainbridge Colby—an oratorical feast extraor dinary and all in one day. Also, the Republicans listened at tentively to Samuel Gompers, and gave him very little of what he want ed in the platform. That was exact ly the treatment which the Republi can delegates liked. The Democrats gave Gompers nearly everything he wanted and that was popular with the Democrats here. Each conven tion had its own ideas of what sort of an appeal the platform should make —the Republicans catered to the business folks and the Democrats to the laboring men. It took just as long to read the Republican platform as Chicago as it did the Democratic platform here and the delegates in both conventions seemed about equally dazed and bored by the flow of political vocabulary conspired in by fifty men after all night and day sessions. But newspaper correspond ents who attend the proceedings ol congress from year to year thought both the Republican and Democratic platform committees displayed won derful powers of concentration and evolved in two or three days what it would take fifty senators months to agree uijon if, instead of the impa tience of a waiting convention, they faced only the indulgent patience of a waiting public. * Weevil in Fayette BROOKS.

MOORE IS URGED AS MANAGER FOR ■ COX’S CAMPAIGN (Continued from Page 1) coming conference. Governor Cox will talk over the matter with Mr. Roosevelt before any announcement is made. May Visit Wilson I The governor declared a half holi day in politics yesterday and spent the afternoon at his old home, near Jacksonburg, thirty miles south of Dayton. A score of newspaper men and camera men who trailed the gov erned found him in a grass-covered ravine roasting potatoes and broil ing lamb chops oves a camp fire. He personally served his hungry, intru sive guests and spent part of the aft ernoon in the shade of a big willow tree answering questions about farming. He conducted the news writers about his estate showing them everything interesting about the farm and his old home. The governor has intimated he may go to Washington in the neai- future for a conference with President Wil son. It is known that he has held a number of conversations over the telephone with Secretary Tumulty (luring the past few days. The prohibition issue is fast com ing to the forefront in the prelimi nary plans for the campaign of Gov ernor Cox. Dry factions of the party, it is apparent from telegrams now being received by the Ohio governor, are bent upon forcing him to declare for the present prohibition laws. Anti prohibition forces have started a counter-offensive, thus making him a storm center. No Inkling of what William J. Bryan, with the backing of the Anti- Saloon league, Intends to do about the Cox candidacy has been received here, but the Commoner is the one leading Democrat who has sent no congratulatory message. Although the prohibition question is becoming so important that it is certain to be one of the main topics of discussion of the big conference of party leaders, Governor Cox ap parently is not worried over develop ments. He expects to send a reply in the near future to the demand of Richmond P. Hobson and: -the Anfi- Saloon league that he declare oppo sition to any change in Chs Wolstead law. - According to his friends, Governor Cox will state he proposes to enforce the Volstead law as long as it is on the statute ( bookS, and that any change in its terms can come only through a “damper” congress. Governor Cox stated today that his personal campaign headquarters will be in Columbus. He would not comment on reports that national headquarters may be established there. “That is a matter for the na tional committee to determine,” he said. He said it was probable there will be an eastern and a western headquarters. The presidential candidate arrived at his newspaper office from his hom6 at Trail’s End at 10 o’cloca and immediately saw newspaper rep resentaotives, , Congratulations Continue Among the morning messages was one from D. S. Ewing, chairman of. the Democratic state central commit tee of California. It told the gover nor that it will be easier for the Democrats to carry California this year than in 1916. Another message was from Joseph W. Folk, fofmer governor of Missouri. “Let’s kill ten horses instead of one,” it said. The Democratic candidate learned today that Texas has a James M. Cox. The Texan, whose home is at Tyler, wired as follows: . » “Congratulations' I know you will be elected. You have a good name. The governor said he did not know the Texan but apprehended that he must be a Democrat. A letter highly prized by the gover nor came from- the Jefferson Masonic lodge at Middletown, Ohio, of which the governor is a member. It _ com mented on the fact that the Middle town lodge has furnished Ohio two "tovernors, the Democratic presiden tial nominee and former tlovernor James'E. Campbell, and concluded: “Now our Jimmy has received tna highest honors of the Dmericratic party and he is goingr to win. Governor Cox had no comment to make today on the refusal of the Louisiana legislature to ratify the suffrage amendment. Two congratulatory messages were received by Governor Cox today from women’s Democratic or They came from the Ycmng Democratic league of New York CKy and the Englewoo* Jane Jefferson club Women’s Democratic Organiza tion of Araphoe county, Colorado. Both pledged the Democratic canal date their hearty support. Brand Whitlock, minister to Bel i gium, cabled from Brussels, as iol -1O“My wife and I ‘send cordial con gratulations. Am writing. „ cntc . The Ohio Society of Detroit sents its “‘congratulations and most sin cere well wishes. ’ adding. We al, owing to our native state, have more than a common interest in your suc cess. While we realize that one of 1 Ohio’s native sons must go <lown tn | defeat, we glory in the fact that soon she will have to her credit another president.” Two Men Influenced Two men, one a small-town school teacher and the other a railroad president, guided his career to a presidential nomination, Governor Cox thinks. , , „ „ , The school teacher, John Q. Baker, i Middletown, 0., changed Cox from a Republican to a Democrat and the railroad president caused him to quit his work as a reporter and become a congressman’s secretary, thus start ing his political career. Mr. Baker “converted” young Cox in high school by preaching Demo cratic tariff policies to him. The railroad president, who is still living but whose name Governor Cox de clines to give, became angered at a story the nominee wrote about his railroad and caused the governor to lose the railroad assignment of a Cincinnati paper. A; few days later Cox was offered the secretaryship of Representative J. Sorg and went to Washington. I doubt if I would have quit being a reporter if it had not been for the railroad president,” Governor Cox said. PRESIDENT WILL CONFER WITH COX ON CAMPAIGN | WASHINGTON, July 9.—Governor James M.

HOUSE EXPECTED ON REMOVAL BILL • ni- ■*• . myo:i*(Contlnti«d from Page 1) debts for the purchase, lease, con struction and operation of public utilities for the state. A companion bill would empower municipalities and other political divisions to ex ceed the seveen per cent limitation and incur debts for the purpose of .purchasing by condemnation or ne gotiation all kinds of public utilities. The same measure authorities municipalities to construct and op erate public utilities. These two measures are advocated by the Municipal League of Georgia, and the proposals they contain were discussed at the recent meeting of Georgia mayors and other city of ficials held in Atlanta. A bill which aroused considerable interest was introduced Friday mak ing it a misdemeanor to operate a motor vehicle with the muffler cut out. Another measure amends the act providing for the licensing of persons to carry pistols. The new bill would authorize ordinaries to is sue such lisences to persons over twenty-one years of age who should be required to furnish '?10,000 bond. The present age limit is 18 and the present bond is only SIOO. The disqualification of superior court judges to try any given case because of personal prejudice or bias, is provided for in another bill intro duced Friday. This measure pro vides that ajudge would be disquali fied on the affidavit of any* of the parties to the action, stating that the judge was prejudiced. Two amendments to the motor ve hicle license tax were Offered, One of them would exempt all motor vehicles owned by counties and would also reduce the license fee on vehicles carrying mpre than ten pas sengers.

It was also said at the White House that a conference will be held soon between the nominee and President Wilson. w Both of the telephone conversa tions were with J. P. Tumulty, sec retary to the president. It is under stood they discussed campaign plans and referred to the proposed confer ence between the candidate and the president. Governor Cox comes here he will likely see President Wilson on the south portico of the White House, where the president has spent so much time since his illness. Any campaign documents which he writes probably will be pinned on the por tico, which White House officials are now referring to as the “back porch.” .The meeting will be the first one since the president started his tour of the country in the interest of th<3 peace treaty. His first stop on that tour was Columbus, the Ohio capi tal. SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1920. Q (LJ 0 New Questions 1. Q. —Why was Leigh Hunt put in prison? 2. Q.—ls our foreign trade increas ing? 3.
