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

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.

VERITABLE HORSE FAIR
?c Trutr cpapitc ripriK

. ' . 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?

hat have "foods on their shelves tha'

He did not state specifically what
