"PARTY GOVERNMENT" OF HARDING IS HIT BY GOVERNOR COX ORVILLE, O., Aug. 21 Another spirited attack on the "senate oligarchy" was made here today by Governor Cox in his address replying to that delivered receatly by Senator Harding, his Republican opponent, in which Mr. Harding commended the senate as a forum of popular government. "The Republican candidate," said Governor Cox, "has devoted a front porch session to the defense of the United States senate, with characteristic reactionary isolation from the current of public thought, he fails to distinguish between the United States senate as an institution, and the list of United States senators who have taken charge of an important part of the government. "It is our contention that a group of men have formed a domineering, arrogant, oligarchy in the senate and that they have deliberately interferred with the welfare of the world, delayed readjustment in this country, all to the distinct injury and disadvantage of the people." "Would Annex Presidency" That the Republican senate group was trying to "annex the presidency" also was asserted by Governor Cox, who stopped here today enroute to Canton, O., where he was to speak again tonight at a Cox day celebration. "The feeling against the senate," Governor Cox declared, "grows specifically out of the abuses by the oligarchy. Prompted by its success in obstructive tactics, it has moved into an entirely new undertaking and it seeks now to annex the presidency." Continuing his attack upon Republican campaign contributions Governor Cox also charged that "the greedy interests which are making the contributions have been in notorious consort with the senatorial oligarchy." Stresses League Necessity. In his attacking the senate leaders. Governor Cox also again stressed the necessity for the league of nations, reiterating and expanding former arguments in its support. Senator Harding, in his address defending the senate, Governor Cox declared, "stripped his discussions of the personal equation and elaborated on the wisdom of the fathers in creating two parts of the legislative branch of government, the senate and the house." The people. Governor Cox predicted, would "resent the attempt now being made to turn the senate and the presidency into a single unit." Governor Gox emphasized that he was not criticising the constitution but "the group of men attempting to distort" the senate's functions. The term "plural government", Governor Cox said, has become a reactionary slogan. STEWART ORDERS DAY MEN BACK TO MINES TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 21. President Ed.

TENNESSEEANS FINALLY MARK 0. K. ON BALLOT Motion To Reconsider Is Lost In House -Antis Given Injunction Against Certification, However. QUORUM IS LACKING (By Associated Prsss)

NASHVILLE. Tenn.. Aug. 21 The lower house of the Tennessee legislature today defeated 50 to 0 a motion to reconsider its action in ratifying the woman suffrage amendment and ordered the senate order transmitted to the senate that it might be sent to the engrossing clerk. However Chancellor James R. New man today issued a writ of injunction ( to prevent uovernor KODerts, secre-: tary of State Stevens, and the Speakers of the Tennessee senate and house from certifying to Secretary Colby Tennessee's ratification of the suffrage amendment. Many legal authorities here regard the amendment as literally wrapped up in legl technicalities and they said it is a foregone conclusion that the courts will have to pass on the legality of the amendment. Only 59 members, seven less than a quorum, answered to their names when Speaker Walker called the house to order half an hour after the regular meeting time. The speaker declared the house at recess for an hour to give the Ser-geant-at-arms time to round up the absent members. Stickers Sneak Off. Since 30 of the absent members had gone to Decatur, Ala., there seemed little prospect that a quorum could be had. I. K. Riddick, suffrage leader, declaring the legislature was acting under federal procedure, in considering the suffrage amendment and the state constitutional quorum, was not necessary, moved that the Walker resolution be taken from the journal. The speaker held the resolution out of order. On an appeal to the house the motion was overruled by a vote of 49 to eight. Suffragists Try To Force !t Suffragists were of the opinion that it would be best to remove ail doubt by bringing the reconsideration question to a vote. If anti-suffragists were to muster enough votes to rescind the ratification vote and on another roll call to defeat ratification, suffrage advocates planned to contest the second vote, basing their contention of Illegality on Attorney General Thompson's opinion. If suffragists are victorious in the end, those opposed to ratification, Judge Joseph Higgins of Nashville, president of the Tennessee constitutional league, has announced will seek to restrain Governor Roberts and the Tennessee secretary of state from certifying ratification to Washington, on the ground that the legislature lacked authority under the state constitution to act on ratification. DECATUR, Ala.. Aug. 21 Twentyfive members of the Tennessee house which was to take final action on the federal suffrage amendment today, ar rived here early this morning from Nashville. Their spokesman said that they would remain away from Nashville until the state has been given an op portunity to voice an opinion on suffrage. S. F. Hall, of Nashville, who acted as tfce spokesman, declared that nine other members would join the party here later in the day. Four of the 25 now in Decatur are Republicans and the others are Democrats. WASHINGTON, p. C, Aug. 21.

Even the two-headed girl on exhibit proved to be only a minor attraction in competition with two distinguished visitors at the reunion, Warren T. Mc Cray, Republican candidal for governor, and Dr. Carlton McCulloch, Democratic gubernatorial candidate. They were early arrivals and spent a busy forenoon renewing old acquaintanceships and forming new one Both candidates were listed as class A "mixers." Both Dodge Political Issues. In the afternoon Mr. McCray and Dr. McCulloch delivered brief addresses. Both carefully avoided a discussion of political issues. Addresses were also made by Miss Julia Landers, representing the Democratic state committee, and by Miss Eleanor Barker, representing the Republican state committee. In his speech Mr. McCray paid tribute to Indiana's famous governor during the civil war, Oliver P. Morton, who was a resident of Centerville.

He said another pet ambition was the creation of tue budget system for the state government. Dr. McCulloch, In his address, declared that Wayne county was one of the best communities in the state, because of the high type of its first settlers, the purity of whose strain still predominated in the county's citizenship. He said that no better soldiers fought for the republic in the Civil war and the World war, than those furnished by Wayne county. Soldiers of Peace Advocated.

Miss Barker announced that it was her Intention to discuss a subjact which she believed every man an-I woman was particularly interested in the high cost of living, to which subject 6he has devoted much study. Miss Barker and Miss Landers ar both of the opinion that the action, of the Tennessee legislature In rat ifylng the suffrage amendment to th federal constitution, will mean a much, larger woman vote in Indiana than was anticipated before the amendment was ratified. Participate Fully in Elections. "The action of the Tennessee legislature means that the women in this state will be permitted to participate in the election of all township, county and state officers in addition to voting for the presidential electors " Mis3 Barker said. "Until the ratification of the amendment, women of Indiana were restrict" ed to voting ior presidential electors. The fact thatFthey will now have the same equality of suffrage that the men enoy will be an incentive for a large number of women to vote, for the average woman voter is more Interested in voting for local candidates than she is for president because by par. ticipating in the election of local candidates she is permitted to assist in the solution of problems effecting her home and the community in which she resides, and it is these questions that the women are particularly interested in. "I do not mei to convey the Idea that the woman voter is indifferent to national politics, for 6he is as much interested as the average man. Women however, are particularly Interested in local Issues, and that Is only natural." Major Lacey Expected. It was expected that Major M. M.
