Fair Grounds, Dayton, Ohio, gust 7.-Tho democratic pres tial standard, wilh the leagu .nations and progress its peal cutcheons today was marched the L920 campaign by Gove James M. Cox. A throng of cheering deraoc estimated variously at between GOG and 75,000, witnessed 1 ernor Cox's acceptance ot r. leadership in the presidential lest, following formal notifies by Senator Robinson of Arkai chairman at the San Francisco vention, of its choice. To the ceromonies at the M gomery county fair grounds ( ernor Cox with Franklin D. Rc velt, his running mate, at his ? marched for a mile in a bro i sun at the head of a parade of c ocratic delegations reviewed at .grounds. Their presence was eleventh-hour thought of the i jernor, who had planned merelj Teview the democratic hosts, wi came in thousands from Ohio, also other states. The parade alone, sprinkled with two score bands, was estimated to contain , OOO marchers. For two hours the governoi his address of acceptance, kept .vast throng cheering as he g, -with emphasis, bis campaign ? tics. ?e made the league his p; mount declaration, declaring stood for American and world pi by its adoption, with "interpr tions" preserving its vital pl He declared the league was a f of the democratic offering of pi ress as against republican reacti His advocacy of the league di 'lengthy demonstrations from his dience and statements of appro .from party leaders gathered h for the domocratic ceremonial. Two reservations he has sugg? .ed to the league covenant were c phasized by the governor, rega ing the controverted Article He was cheered loudly in comp ing it to the Monroe doctrine, wi its peace record. The democr? legions also shouted approval declarations for woman suffraj law enforcement- his only infer? tial reference to prohibition duction of taxation aud scores other issues he proclaimed. The candidate'e address close as evening fell, a day of democral jubilation. Rain early in the da which threatened to mar the ever gave way to bright tiunshine by ? ternoon, with sultry humidity, b shortly before the governor co cloded, another light raiu poun upon the crowds, causing matty t leave and somewhat marring tl .closing event. y With pointed forefinger to vigo OU8 arm thrusts, the governor g< more applause as he emphasized h indictment of the republican pla form and leadership. The crow also voiced its approval of his deck ration that the loss of the leagu would mean more armament es pense. The candidate's tribute ' to Presi dent Wilson and his deprecation o republican "discourtesy" given ii lowered voice, was given furthe rolls of applause. A prolong?e demonstration followed his asser tion that republican "sleuthing' had failed to unearth dishonesty it the administration of the war. Thii he hammered tn, pounding his ta .ble with clenched fist. More cheers approved the candi date's pledge to aid ex-service men. Several demonstrations marked his declarations for consideration for women including ratification of tbe equal suffrage amendment. Repeated thumps of his fist punc tuated the governor's criticism of Senator Harding's stand on "party government" and the audience evi denced its sympathy frequently. Thh governor delivered only one sentence of his statement on educa tion, jumping to the subject of cam paign contributions, and he declared it would not be a dollar competition with the republicans. As he closed his address, the gov ernor's collar was wilted and he ap peared somewhat tired, but he turn ed happily to meet groups of con ! gratulators. The ceremony closed with the benediction, given by the Rev. Martin P. Norville, of Holy An gels' Ronau Catholic church. STRADDLE. ISSUES. Chicago, Aug. 7.-Senator Harry S. New of Indiana, chairman of the republican campaign speakers' com mittee and member of the senate foreign relations committee, in a signed statement tonight declared that Governor Cox in his speech of acceptance today had "devoted three columns to the league of nations, but bad straddled the real league issue," "Governor Cox is in the position of holding fast to President Wilson with one hand and reaching for the public -with the other," said the statement. "He leaves entirely un answered in his ?peech the main is sue of the league-Article 10-and no one knows bow he stands on it except by interpreting his statement made after the conference with President Wilson as meaning that he favors it. Governor Cox must come out clearly in the campaign and say whether he favors Article IO, whether he favors sending American troops abroad, for his speech of acceptance is very unsat isfactory on that point." "DRYS" PEEVED. Chicago, Aug. 7.-Gov. Cox's failure to take a definite stand con cerning a possible repeal of the Vol stead act and the eighteenth emend ment is "looked upon with great dis favor and disappointment by the prohibition party," Virgil G. Hin shaw, chairman of the party's na tional committee, said todight. He previously had characterized Hard ing's stand on the question as ''un satisfactory." "Neither candidate has taken the stand it was hoped he would take namely, firm opposition to any change'in the present laws affecting prohibition," said Mr. Hinshaw. 3-Billion Bushel Corn Crop For U. S. Predicted. Washington, Aug. 9.-A three billion bushel corn crop for the third time in the history of the country was forecast today by the department of agriculture on the basis of condition existing August 1. Inasmuch as August is the critical month for the crop in the great corn belt of the Middle West it is uncertain whether the promise of a crop almost equal to the enor mous ones of 1912 and 1913 will be fulfilled. Improvement was re ported during July id the important corn states with the exception of Illinois and a result a crop fore cast 224,000,000 bushels larger than that predicted July 1 was issued. Spring wheat was adversely af fected during July principally by rust and the production forecast of the crop was reduced 29,000,000 bushels from a month ago or to a total of 282,000,000 bushels. The preliminary estimate of winter wheat production was 15,000.000 bushels larger tban forecast in July, making the combined crop of winter and spriDg wheat only 14, 000,000 bushels smaller than esti mated a month ago. The total of 705,006.000 bushels was predicted in to-day's report. There was improvement in the potato crop and indications are that the crop will exceed 400,000, 000? bushels for the fourth time in the country's history. The tobacco crop, which has bee,n promising from the start, has shown additional improvement and probabilities are that it will exceed the record crop produced in 1918, by about 200,060,000 pounds. To tal production is forecast at 1,544, 000,000 pounds. Has Never Seen Their Equal.
