The parade line alone, sprinkled with two v 1 ? r score banners, was estimated to CUii- j Itain 20,000 marchers. For two hours the governor in hig j t address of acceptance kept the vastjfc throng cheering as he gave, with jv emphasis, his cam] gn policies.

The governor deliverd only one sentence of his statement on education, jumping to the subject of cam paign expenditures. j As he closed his address the gov- ( amor's collar was wilted and he ap- , peared somewhat tired, but he turned andard Cheering Host and Other States Attend :hes With Roosevelt, His Head of Parade. lappily to meet groups of congratu ators.

Standing bareheaded, the governor md Mr. Roosevelt reviewed the narching, waving their ha ads and touting occasionally to friends they ecognized. Also on tho reviewing land were Chiirman White, of the iational committee, and Gilbert Cox. 57, father of the presidential candiiate. ** The unexpected appearance of Governor Cox and his running mate, Vlr. Roosevelt, at the head of the pa ade was the signal for- hilarious heering by the thousands which lin;d the streets. Both candidates narched with their hats off and were :ept busy acknowledging the bursts >f applause. The governor would ;top frequently to allow some enthusiastic girl with a camera take his )icture.

Department of Justice to Order - a l 1 *.f _ i. Weston to ADanaoa matter. P. H. McGowan in The State. Washington, Aug. 6.?Nothing more will be done with regard to the removal of Parr Shoals dam. Some time ago when it became known that instructions had been j sent from the department of justice j at Washington to District Attorney } i Francis H. Weston at Columbia to institute proceedings for the removal of Parr Shoals dam, those interested in preserving the dam took the matter up with Washington iri the hope that action might be deferred, if not entirely abandoned, looking to the dam's removal. Certain influential - ? - * i it r i. citizens of Columbia came to vvasnington and saw officials of both the department of justice and the war department regarding the matter and one of the most interested of all in the dam's preservation was Senator Dial. Recently Assistant Attorney General Herron of the department of justice said that he had asked the j f o voVipnrinc To war uejia*cmcuo iui t* ??d- ? day Senator Dial announced that the rehearing would be held, and upon the matter being followed .up and more information being secured, it was ascertained that it is highly improbable that this will be" done, inasmuch as the war department has instructed the department of justice to j abandon the entire matter ana to m-i form District Attorney Weston to this effect. This means that there . 1 will be no court case, that Parr Shoals will not be demolished and ! that the entire matter is now or soon will be at an end, all contemplated proceedings being withdrawn as soon as the legal % formalities connected with the matter can be gone through with. . Senator Dial said in discussing the situation today that he was very much gratified at what had been done. He was strongly opposed to ^ Kir fha crnvprnment an^1. lziuenciciivt w Y knv j-, r> , is certain that had suit been filed and prosecuted and Parr Shoals ordered removed, many thousands of dollars . in damages would have resulted. Aside from the legal grounds which , he placed before the Washington authorities, he said that from a common ' : ? * " 1 ~ V> /-V lin /- n?i 1 r! nn? sense viewpoint cizuuc, nt see how the government could prosecute such a case. , Now, however, it is all over and , the last of removing Parr Shoals has . been heard. The Parr Shoals dam is about 4 okrtrm r'oinm'nia on Broad riv IUUCO Uk/V ? U --- er. At this dam is located the plant which generates the electric power and lights for Columbia. A question was raised as to the impounding of 1 ?i-?i. ? the waters to sucn an extent uun navigation was interfered with below Columbia on the Congaree river, and that certain regulations imposed by the war department when constructing: dams across navigable streams were not being complied with.

Aug. 7.?Peace for America and the .world fby this na tion's entrance into the league of na-! -ions with "interpretations" not dis! turbing its vital principles was prc; nounced today by Gov. James M. j Cox, the Democratic presidential ; standard bearer, as his paramount policy. N In his address here accepting th2 ! Democratic nomination, Governor j Cox militantly championed the leai ;ue as proposed by President Wilson, j with interpretations insuring gooi j Taith and understanding, and dc! iminced what he termed the dishon I I [ orable proposal from Senator Hardj .ng, his Republican opponent, for "a separate peace with Germany." Lague or no league, the Democratic nominee declared, is the issue . between the two parties?"the supreme issue of the century," he said. "The question is," Governor Cox declared, "whether we shall or shall iot join in this practical and humane novement. President Wilson . . . entered the league in our name. Sen itor Harding, as the Republican candidate for the presidency, propose-: in plaiji words that we remain out c{ t. As the Democratic candidate I favor going in. Ratification First Duty. "The first duty of the new admin :stration wiil be ratification of t'n* Teaty," Governor Cox said, predict 'ng that friends of the league woulc "ally to elect a senate with the remisite maioritv for ratification. 1' Governor Cox raid the "interpre I I tations" should state "cur interpre I I ation of the covenant as a matte ?f good faith to our associates an is a precaution against any misunderstanding in the future."v Assail ingr the Ledge reservations as ema?. ulating, Governor Cox suggested two specific "interpretations," as outlined several months ago in a news)aper article. One declared America's continuance-in the league should lepend.upon the league's use only a^ | agency for world peace; the other I tViP understanding that this nation could act only within the constitution, declared unalterable by any Ireatv. The door to other "interpretations" was left open by Governo Cox, but ho said that the Democrat 'c platform plank "speaks in a firm resolution against anything that dis-1 .'.urbs the vital principle" of the lea-; gue. " No room for doubt was left as to J 'he governor's position on the league J is the preeminent political battle-1 ground. As on other subjects, he j stated his position squarely. "Wo arc in a time which calls fori straight thinking1, straight talking, znd straight acting," he said. "It is 10 time for wobbling. ' In position, the league question led the candidate's address, and to it he devoted 3,000 words of the 10,000 odd total. The prohibition amendment and Volstead law were not specified in the address, but Governor Cox promised emphatically strict law enforcement. "The constitution,"' he said, "is the license and limitation given to and olaccd upon the lawmaking body. The legislative branch of government is subjected to the rule of the rr 1? who 1 lYLHjCr^V. j. lit jmuni, ihuhu. fails to enforce the law is an enemy both to the constitution and to the American principle of majority rule. It wouid sr em unnecessary for any candidate for the presidency to say that he does not intend to violate his oath of office.

Dlat JLJLiO ?? , ' ">y*v form, leaders and congressional record?were flayed by Govxernor Cox in scathing terms throughout his long ' J address. A "senatorial oligarchy," led by Senators Lodge, Penrose and Smoot, Governor Cox charged, selected Senator Plarding to lead the Republicans and fastened "into the party platform the creed of bitterness and hate and the vacilating polioir fViof nnctojQPC it." The Jteimbli can stand generally was scored by "he governor as reactionary, and on J|| the league question he said the party's-candidate was bent to the irreconcilable hostility of Senator John- ; son of California. The Republican :ongress, the governor asserted, fail- :. 2d to pass a constructive law or to educe war taxes. "Plain Truth" Demanded. Millions in campaign funds have been gathered for "the' reactionary ; cause," the governor charged, deploring election of a new administrar lion "under corrupt auspices" and Jemanding publicity for "the plain .ruth" regarding all contributions 411 d disbursements. The Democrats, ne added, would not attempt "to compete by doilar.'-' He* warned the country against "cunning devices backed by unlimited prodigai expenditures . . . to'confuso andT* lure."

One leads to higher citizen- j ship, a freer expression of the indi-: vidual and a fuller life for ail. The ether leads to reaction, the rule of . the few over the many and the restriction of the average man's chances to grow upward.

"Our view is toward the sunrise of tomorrow. The opposition stands g in the skyline of the setting sun, looking backward, at the old days of ' reaction." A graceful tribute to President y. Wilson was paid by Governor Cox, ' 1-1' -l_x : * wnen, scoring me ivepuoilcan piaiform for abscnce of "a line that breathes an emotion of pride" in the nation's war achievements, he said ^ that while soldiers fell in the trench- J es Mr. Wilson "was broken in they enormous labor of hi3 office." The Republican proposal for .a A separate peace, Governor Cox clared, would "be the most disheart- 'V; ening event in civilization since the < ' Russians made their separate peace with .Germany.*' Citing difficulties in the plan, Governor Cox said that if accomplished "no nation in good standing would have anything to do with either of us." "This plan would not only be a piece of bungling diplomacy, but plain, unadulterated" dishonesty as wen, ne saia, mveignmg against any. schism without associated powers. "This act would either be regarded as arrant madness cr attempted international bcssism," lie &dded. Discussing domestic question, Governor Cox denounced profiteering at ^ . length and promised that profiteers should "suffer the penalty of the criminal law." Fair returns for both capital and labor were advocated, the nominee als<V approving development of both "into large units , . . without injury to the public interest."
