GEORGE WHITE MANAGER —s Organization of the democratic national committee was completed at Columbus, Ohio, as follows: Chairman—George White, Ohio. Vice Chairmen —J. Bruce Kremer, Montana; Samuel B. Amidon, Kansas; Mrs. Charles Williams, Secretary—Edward Hoffman, Indiana. Treasurer—Wilbur Marsh. lowa. Sergeant-at-Arms John J. Hughes, Oklahoma. I J COLUMBUS, 0.. July 21.—The democratic stump campaign will be opened simultaneously In the middle west and east by Gov. James M. Cox and in the far west by Franklin D Roosevelt about Aug. 15. Cox today said tl s plan represented the consensus of opinion of the democratic national committee and that it undoubtedly would be followed. The presidential nominee said he expected to carry his campaign west early in September. Cox expects to spend the last of August in filling sporadic speaking engagements in the east. New England probably will be invaded. Tt was evident, the national committee favored having Cox spend much time in Ohio. New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois. He may make a flying trip to Maine. Roosevelt probably will be sent direct to the Pacific coast. Cox also is anxious to carry his appeal across the mountains. White, Cox campaign manager, is rushing the completion of the campaign committee. Among those mentioned for places are Norman E. Mack, New York; Tom Love. Texas; Samuel Amidon, Kansas; Wilbur Marsh. Iowa; Senator Harrison, Mississippi; T. T. Ansberry, Washington. Cox will start the writing of his speech of acceptance within a few days. Senator Pomerene, now in the west, will confer with Cox soon to frame plans for fnll publicity on campaign funds throngh a senatorial investigation. Gov. Cox and White have tentatively agreed that his notification will occur Aug. 7 at his home, "Trails End,” near Dayton. The notification of Roosevelt probably will be held at Hyde Park, N. TANARUS., two days later. Sentiment on the national eomnrTfiOe ' was divided as to where Cox shall open his campaign. He faTors the west, but some state leaders favor concentration in New York, New Jersey, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. Cox told the committee he will demand that daily reports of campaign contributions be made by both parties. He charged that the republicans were raising a campaign fund that "will stagger” the nation.

OFFICE FOR PRESENT WILL BE AT COLUMBUS. For the present Chairman White's offices will be in Columbus, where he can lie in close touch with the candidate and within easy reach of Mr. Roosevelt. In speaking of his selection. Chairman *v ie -aid it was like a problem in the old days of-algebra when the result was re.’chcd by the elimination of factors. Th? e'-ction had '-ome to him, as .all other gn*at things in his life, without action on his part. In that regard he said he was a fatalist or rather a believer iu the doctrine of predestination, a belief that came from his Presbyterian training. In presenting him to the subcommittee. Gov. Cox tried to inculcate something of his character Into the minds of the committeemen by telling them the story of his marriage. After Ills graduation from Princeton university at a time when President Woodrow Wilson ’was merely a member of the faculty, he came home to Titusville, Pa., with very little more than his diploma. Falling in love and asking for the hand of his sweetheart he was met by the proposal f roul hcr Material father that he get a fortune first. "When you've got SIOO.OOQ let me knew affcl I’ll -give you the girl and add SIOO,000 more to the pile,” said the father. Striking out. White went to the Klondike and plunged into the mining frenzy of the early Alaskan <Jays. Some time thereafter the father got a telegram from San Francisco which said: “Get yoqr SIOO,OOO ready.” The lover had won. After bis marriage he went into the independent oil business in West Virginia and Ohio, and. settling at Marietta, (Continued on Page Two.)

YANK SAILING SKILL SPRINGS RACE SURPRISE Resolute Well on Way to Comeback in Third Cup Event. SHAMROCK STAYS CLOSE By JACK YEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. ABOARD U. S. S. GOLDSBOROI'GH, OFF SANDY HOOK. N. J., July 21. (via wireless)--Resolute made a surprising comeback today in her race J against Sir Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock IV and. barring accidents, was expected to win today’s event. At the fifteen-mile mark, Resolute was two minutes ahead of the Shamrock and with her seven minutes and twenty seconds allowance she looked like a sure victor. Resolute turned the fifteen-mile mark (half way around Uie course) at 2:21:21. Shamrock made wio turn—at 2:23:06 (eastern standard time). Resolute had her spinnaker out in one minute aud forty seconds aftpr making the turn. spinnaker boomed out in two minutes and five seconds after the turn was made. The elapsed time on the fifteen-mile beat was given as follows; Resolute, 2:20:40; Shamrock, 2:22:44. Both yachts broke out ballooners a mile from the turn. Resolute seemed covered with bulging canvas and apparently had the race well in hand, as accident was thought unlikely running down the wind. A victory for Sir Thomas Lipton's big green yacht today means that the trophy goes back to Great Britain. Shamrock crossed the starting line first, slightly ahead of Resolute. The start of the race had been delayed an hour by the regatta committee in the hope that a stiffer breeze would materialize. When the race started about a three-knot wind was blowing, hut it picked up later. The weather was hazy around the starting point. Not nearly as many sightseeing crafts were on hand for today’s race, the defeat of Resolute in two previous events apparently having a disruurnglug effect. The excursion fleet had dwindled to less than a dozen steam yachts, a couple of excursion steamers, a little bunch of power boats, six destroyers and five coast guard cutters. 15-MIEE BEAT AND KF.TI RN. Today’s race was a fifteen-mile beat south by west and return. The fifteenmile mark was set off Ausbury Park. N. J. The official starting time (eastern time) wns given as follows: Shamrock. 12:00.22; Resolute, 12:00 41. Adams made no effort to gain the weather berth and let Shamrock cross first on Resolute’s weather quarter. Both yachts crossed on the starboard tack about fifty yards apart. Shamrock ta'ked to port within a minute and Resolute followed at once. At 12:32 both boats were still holding the port tack for the Jersey shore, with Resolute a quarter of a mile to windward of Shamrock's wake, but the latter threeeights of a mile aebad. At 12:23 Shamrock had a commanding lead of an eighth of a mile and she appeared to be-gatnlar mph Hr. - Resolute. although to windward, appeared loggy. The breeze still held to about four knots. SHAMROCK TRIES FOR BETTER BREEZE. At 12:40 Shamrock was well out ahead of Resolute and it looked :is if she could cross tbs defender’s bow if she went in the starboard tack by several hundred yards. Shamrock, with her Seanrigbt pLot on board, was evidently holding in allure for a better breeze. At 12:52 Shamrock tacked to starboard. Resolute held on to the port tack and the two yachts began to converge. At 12:36 Resolute was leading by 100 yards. Resolute held the port tack until she was on Shamrock's weather, when she tacked. Shamrock, flndtng herself behind, went buck on the port tack. Resolute was leading by 200 yards at 12 :58. The wind had breezed up to *!x | knots. At 1 o’clock Resolute had a nice lead and it looked as if she would win if the wind held. Shamrock lost her seeming advantage by getting too close to the beach under the Highlands while Adams worked (Continued oil I'age Nine.) 25,000 EMPTIES TO HANDLE GRAIN Cars to Be Drawn From East and South.

Tells How It Feels to Fall 3,000 Feet Into Waters of Bay Naval Blimp, Carrying Seven Passengers, Takes Plunge During Yacht Races. By PACE B. MALLON. United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, July 21. -The naval blimp G 10 feet from a height of 3,00 feet into Jamaica bay, during the yacht races today. The blimp was carrying four naval officers and three newspaper men when the gas bag started to leak. Ballast was thrown overboard in an effort to make safe landing, but the blimp was unable to make shore. Motor boats put out and rescued us after we had ben doused in the bay. We set sail for the yacht races from the naval airplane station about 12:15 p. m. and reached the starting point with everything apparently O. K. about fifteen minutes after the race started. 1 had made all preliminaries, such as signing away all claims for damages, on boarding the flying' boat. Having been up in a rickety airplane out In Louisville during a state fair, t had no fear of boarding the iant dirigible, which had sailed so gracefully over the yacht course during previous days. We were getting the wireless telephone into operation to send messages of th progress of the race to our offices when Earl Dannals, radio operator, suddenly discovered the gas bag was leaking and we were rapidly settling into the ocean. That's when we started to work. Dannals sent out SOS calls by wireless and Chief Quartermaster ,T. R. Dennis headed the blimp back toward the naval station. The rest of us heaved bags and bags of ballast overboard. After all the ballast was gone we threw over the chairs, the wireless battery and one of the newspaper men, who had the biggest feet. waH Just getting ready to unload his shoes when we started to drop. We fell so fast it seemed ns if the water Just came right up and kissed us In the face. Tt was pretty cold at first when we went under with the basket, hut we came right to the ton npd motor boats put out from the shore and picked’us up.

WAGE AWARD IS WEIGHED BY RAIL WORKERS Decision Indicated on One of Five Propositions Considered by 16 Brotherhoods. STRIKE NOT EXPECTED CHICAGO, July 21.—Leaders of organized railroad labor today requested a secret conference with the full membership of the United States railroad labor board relative to the award announced yesterday by the board. . The award granted a $600,000,000 increase to railroad labor. Labor chiefs refused to make known what they would present. They had been in executive session all morning when the request was made. Judge Barton, chairman of the board, immediately presented the request to other members and labor leaders resumed their session pending the board’s decision.

CHICAGO, July 21.—Definite action aeceptir.g or rejecting the $600,000,000 wage nward trrnnf-d the railroad worker * of the country Tuesday by the United States railroad labor board is expected to he taken today by the grand council of the sixteen big railroad brotherhoods, which went into session this morning for further consideration of the award. ■As the brotherhood chiefs began today’s meeting. It appeared likely that their decision would be based on one of the following propositions: Acceptance of tho award a* satisfactory, without reservations Acceptance of the award under protest, with a memorandum registering dtssatisfaction with the increase granted as compared to the demands of the rail worker*. Acceptance of the award with an announcement that new wage demands w.iuid he brought before the board some time after Sept. 1, when federal control will have been lifted completely from the railroads. Rejection of the award tentatively and Its submission to a referendum of the rail workers generally, the strike issue to be included in their vote. AN OUT AND T FLAT REJECTION. Out and out flat rejection of the award, with action taken toward calling u national railroad strike immediately. It appeared early today that one of the first three proposals would constitute the final decision of the union heads. While the most radical element of the grand council was reported to be in favor of a fiat rejection, it is thought that the "big four” and other conservative brotherhood lenders would be able to maintain control over the council's actions. Dissatisfaction with the award a auiuUr of the brotherhood p.we,*' ,s certain, but this. It Is pointed out, is offset by a strong sentiment for conservative action. The railroad telegraphers and maintenance of way norkt-rs were said to be among the groups opposed to the award, while the locomotive engineers and shopmen were reported as leaders of the clement favoring the hoard's decision. Generally the sentiment seemed to be against taking any action toward the immediate railing of a strike. “.No matter what the decision of the grand council is to be. whether the award Is accepted or rejectod, the action of the unions will be concerted and deliberate,” said W. G. Lee, one of the "big four” and president of the Brotherhood of Hallway Trainmen. "tt is certain there will be no sporadic ojr immediate railroad strike.” A compilation of figures prepared by .Samuel o. Duun, editor of Railway Age, (tentlmietl on Page Nine.)

What Watson Said in Keynote Before State Convention I am opposed to the government ownership or operation of any enterprise that the private citizen can own and operate in this country. Such a system means an increased expense and a decreased efficiency, a large number of persons engaged and a smaller industrial output But even worse, government ownership means political ownership and, in the end, would lead to a bureaucracy so galling or an autocracy so despotic as to be utterly incompatible with the existence of free institutions. —Senator James E. Watson, in keynote speech before 1920 republican state convention.

"But I have not, and there are thousands of other persons In the state who have not. "We can’t buy coal, and I hope this motion will not prevail.” Senator Wolfson arose to ask Senator Beardsley if there is no coal to be obtained in the center of the coal mining region, ‘‘then how can the president do anything to help us get coal?” ‘‘l will amend my statement that we can not buy coal and will say that we can not buy coal at any price. “A coal commission bill has been brought over here for us to pass, but this bill Is inadequate.” Enthusiastic support from the minority side of the senate was given the Beardsley resolution, in opposing the English motion to postpone action, ADMITS FAILURE, i CRAVENS SAYS.

”1 am rather surprised at the majority side of the senate admitting that they are unable to handle this coal equation,” said Senator Joseph M. Cravens of Madisou. “We have a governor, an attorney general and plenty of so!3lers In th§ state militia In Indiana, and yet you come here with an appeal to the president io help the state out of the coal problem. "It is a bare-faced admission on your part that the state administration Is too weak to handle the situation. "Gentlemen, we have laws on our statute books, and we have federal laws that are violated in this state every day. iu combines of coal operators aud other persons. , "It is the duty of the governor of Indiana to see that the people of the state are given protection. “I want to see this resolution pass, for it shows his weakness and inability,’* raid Senator Cravens.

"I would like to see the time when the people of this country can't call on the president of the United States, be his politics republican or democrat, for aid in time of distress, and have the president fail to do his duty. “They tell us of shortage of coal and shortage of coal cars In this.-state. "Gentlemen, I tell you that therein is not our trouble and I will tell you what the trouble is. "It is the fact that large manufacturing interests are coming Into the state and contracting for all the coal produced here for the next twelve months. "There Is a crisis coming in this situation in Indiana, and it Is rme that we were dong something to relieve the altuatlon,” said Senator Negley. ELSNER AGAIN ASSAILS GOODRICH POLICIES. Combining support of the resolution with a violent attack on the Goodrich administration, and branding It ns wholly Inefficient tnd weak, Senator Edward ' P. Eisner of Seymour, democratic floor leader, declared the democrats of the senate. themselves, could not have introduced a better resolution than the one Senator Beardsley has presented. “And I will add that if some of the members of this senate were more democratic, we could handle this coal situation without calling on the president. “The resolution is primarily an admission of inability of the governor and his administration to handle the coal problem. “We have plenty of laws to handle the situation, if only they were enforced, but there has been no move whatever by the governor nor the attorney general to provide any relief. SAYS NEW COAL BILL TOO WEAK. “We have a coal commission bill passed by the house, but this is wholly Inadequate to care for the situation. “The bill is not retroactive, and no bill that we could pass would be re-, troactive. * “We have delayed long enough, the administration has been sleeping on duty, and it is up to us to pass this resolution, and do something to provide relief for the people of Indiana who will freeze to death this winter if they do not get eoaL "The whole country knows the inability of the governor to handle the situation. “The only thing to do now, is the next best thing;-call (jn President Wilson, a man who can do things, who ha* done things, and who will do more.
