Campaign.
Fair Grounds, Dayton, Ohio,
gust 7.-Tho democratic pres
tial standard, wilh the leagu

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 ?

sun at the head of a parade of c
ocratic delegations reviewed at

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?

phasized by the governor, rega

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.
"I have used Chamberlain's Tab
lets for stomach trouble, biliousness
and constipation off and on for the
past ten yeai*s. I have never seen
their equal yet. They have strength
ened my digestion, relieved me of
headaches and had a mild pleasant
action on my bowels. I take pleasure
in recommending them" writes H. D.
F. Parmenter, Cridersville, Ohio.
