* ? ? COX DISREGARDS WATKINS' OFFER PAYS NO ATTENTION TO PRO^ POSCAL TO QUIT. Democratic Nominee Suggests That Republicans Question Hard* ing. Albuquerque, N. M., $ept. 23.? Governor Cox will ignore proposals from, the Prohibition party for retirement of Aaron S. Watkins, presi> dential candidate of the Prohibition N party, from the race if the governor will r*1#>fkrp himself to certain meas ures regarding the Volstead law. Governor Cox made this announce ment upon his arrivel here tonight. It was understood that a similar proposal was made to Senator Karding, the Republican nominee. The Prohibition party's proposal, the governor stated, came in a letter weeks ago from Virgil G. Hinshaw, \irV?rt anid lip artpd oflfiriallv. 'The let ter was in the nature of a questionaire regarding action upon the ques tion of the Volstead law and other ' prohibition questions. Mr. Hinshaw, it was said, expressed "confidence" that Mr. 'Watkins would retire from the presidential arena should Governor Cox reply favorably to the questionaire. 'No reply has been or will 'be made. Governor Cox declined to comment on a similar offer by Mr. Watkins. His position on the league of nations was defined in further detail by . Governor Cox in an address here tonight. ??***%.(? IV V?V AAA* , "I favor going in, to put an end to war for *11 time," said the governor. "This is my position. I am determined to secure the earliest possible enJV traftce into the league of nations with ^ the least possible delay and with the fewest possible reservations needed bV 1/11^1/ X V^Ul V* "I have no doubt that Republican and Democratic senators alike will loyally fulfill the people's mandate, which my election wiHj signify. I shall endeavor to meet all reasonable desires for proper reservations which are offered in sincerity and not merely presented as trumped up for poi litical purposes." ^ ' The . governor's statement was made in response to questions in local \ /Republican newspapers, which he J said he was informed, were inspired J i>y two advance agents of Chairman S Hays of the Republican national committee. These men, named Headly and Smith, the candidate said, were "Hays' scouts" and were endeavoring to embarrass and minimize his Western campaign traveling a few days ahead on the governor's itinerary. . Td one of the local newspapers questions on prohibition Governor Cox also reiterated his position, stating: Will Not Violate Oath. "N?o liquor organization has everv donated a dollar to any of my camr paigns to my knowledge, nor have I ever owned a share of stock in any brewery. I suggest that this question be asked of .the reactionary candidate. The 18th amendment is part of the constitution. The president takes an oath to uphold the constituL tion and the law. I will not violate L my oath of office but will enforce the H law as I have done as .the executive of Ohio where, for tfte nrst time m the history of the state, under my first term, saloons were closed on the B Sabbath." m Governor Cox challenged the newspapers to :<get a single direct answer on^any subject" from Senator Harding, . his Republican opponent. ^ITrt Vae Koan " tho trnvPT UOiO Kf vVli UVilAii W y V?*v ^ v ? w* W^B nor continued, "and he has been con|H| sistent on one thing only, his chammm pionship of the cause of big business and reaction and his 'deference 'and devotion' to the senatorial oligarchy. Can Not Buy West. Wf- "When a political committee enw deavors to kill the news, when it dares not meet the issue on which its candidate wobbles from day to day, when it seeks to secure the presidency by use of. a huge corruption ftmd, it is time for the people to think seriously. ,1 am going back East after visiting the West, carrying this assurance to friends and foes. ?the West is alive, the West is alert and the West is with me in my fight for the peace of the world and the progress and place of our land?and the West can not 'be bought." * The league of nations, reclamation and labor were prominent themes of the governor here for his only impor tant address in New Mexico. Governor Cox reached here after a long detour, caused by the wreck of his special train> near Phoenix yesterday, via Deming, N. M., where he gave a brief talk and shook hands with scores of persons. Colorado will be the governor's campaign ground tomorrow. He will arrive at Denver for a night meeting. * A change in Governor' Cox's Ne' ^ t '.y V ; f - - - v . .. .

' . t * Despite the fact that the automobile business is increasing month bj month, there yet remains the keenest interest in the horse?perhaps not as a beast of burden, but as an animal of symmetry, intelligence and beauty. And that is one of the reasons why the Sparks circus which is to appear in this city on Monday, j October 4, carries with it a horse fail equalled by 110 other circus in the world. In the large tent adjoining the menagerie, the horse fair forms a daily adjunct to the trip into the "big show." And so when the circus arrives and you have paid your admission, do not forget that feature of the circus, for it is worth seeing. In the fair this year will be found specimens of the purest bred percnerene possible to obtain, as well | as representatives of the thorough! bred, standard bred, Suffolk punch i coach horses, hackneys, hunters and ' horses for general purposes. But in the maze of attractions, the horse fair forms only one of the fcanf +V10 Snnrlrs firms. The I tUl^O V/X vnv ; clowns? They always form ar amusement enterprise. Forty oi jthem are present in the performance ! every minute and their presence car i result in only one thing?laughtei J and lots of it. \ j By the way, there is to be the twe ! mile long parade at 10:30 o'clock the morning of the circus arrival in this city, with all cages open, tableaux J wagons and 'floats of wondrous splendor, herds of elephants and camels? most of thewi driven in harness, 200 lady riders ahd cavaliers, all mounted on beautifully caparisoned, spirited I > now complete v "B ne to get lowest j Goods, Clothing, always on the joS IN NEW FALL SUITS. ir suits could hardly be exceedterials, tricotines, soft velours ted plain tailored or fur trimhirsh collars and short flares. $25.00 to $82.50 V COATS. m.
