Ohio, August 2. - The Western State which wtohed to nominate Hlrnm Johnion for Prealdent are amazed by Oov. Cox's complete urrendr to and are maltlnf hart to line up with Senator Harding and the Republi- can party. Danger h pwtl that thoae Bute will go to the Damocratlo party. This w tli meaag brought to the Senator to-d- by Representative Fred- erick C. Hick of Oyster Bay, who to on hto way home from a trip through Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Washing- ton and Oregon. He ha been touring the West since the Chicago convention and makes tho prediction that Harding will carry every State west of the MIhbIssIppI. Mr. Hlcks's report wa one of many of optimism which reached the Senator to- day. It was visitors' day at the Sena, tor's office. In addition to the good news brought from many parts of the country come scores of telegrams from Demo- - over, tne inrce mg am am do says he their minds to vote the Republican ticket. The breakaway from the Democratic party appears to be setting In early in the campaign. Probably nothing that lias happened so far has given to the Senator grenter pleasure than this con- stant stream of letters and messages from Democrats that they are for htm.. \There was som disappointment In the Northwest over the failure to nomi- nate Johnson,\ Mr. Hicks said, \but the peopl are now satisfied, and Harding Is growing with them very fast. Sentiment Is strongly for the Republican because of conviction that tho country must get back from the rule of autocracy to that of the people. President Wilson's vetoes of the peace resolution and of the budget bill, hto demand for the greatest navy In the world, his Insistence on an army twice as big as the country ever had In time of ca all of these and Innumerable other acts show his grasping for power power over bis country, power In the affairs of the whole world. Surrender of t'OX. \The country has been amased at Cox's declaration that he will follow tho Wilson policies. Another four years of vihat Wilson has given and Cox promises to continue would leave this nation with out a friend on earth. People know this, and It Is the underlying reason for the revolt against everything the Democratic party stands for.\ In a statement Issued from the Sena tor's headquarters attention was called to the complaint made by George White. halrman of the Democratic National Committee that Hiram Johnson and William H. Taft have expressed ap- proval of the Senator's position on the League of Nations. Having failed in his effort to draw out Gov. Cox on his League of Nations stand, Senator Harding is continuing to direct hto attack at Mr. White, the recentlyelected Democratic leader. The Republican party to an absolute unit on the league Issue, the statement declares, while the Democratic nominee and managers still are running around in circles trying to escape the issue. The statement continues: \It Is easy to understand how such evidences of Republican unity are dis- pleasing to Mr. White, but it was not anticipated that he would thus early in the campaign make such frank acknowl- edgment. \Inasmuch as Mr. White has thus publicly and handsomely acclaimed that nil elements of Republicans are approv- ing Senator Harding's attitude, it may be added that he has sensed the situa- tion with admirable perspicacity. Re- publicans of all sections snd group are solidly In favor of Senator Harding's attitude. Thto is proved by thousands of letters and telegrams from every State, among which the member from State commonly Democratic are no less than amaslng. A large percentage, moreover, are from men who describe themselves as having heretofore been Democrats. O. O. P.

Cox to- - dv laid down n Dollcy of non-int- ference in State political contests within the Dcmocratlo ranks, which to the ex- act oonoslto of that employed by Presi dent Wilson since the League of Nations fight in the Senate. In the Cox decision (s Indicated a disposition to remain on Msndlv terms with those Democratic Senators who drew the Presidential lire bv vDtlns- for the Lodge reservations, even thoush Mr. Wilson had turned against them. Tho situation developed through rtatement Issued with regard to the Texas Drlmary In which Joseph W Bailey, one time Senator and widely known as an enemy of the Administra- tion. Is running for Governor. Reports, It seems, have been so current In Texas that Oov. Cox was taking one side or the oilier that the Democratic nominee felt called upon to net mattors straight Gov. Cox declared that It neither Is his province nor his desire to Interfere In any way In the Demoeratlo situation In Texas. He added that thto would be his general policy with regard to Demo cratlc affairs In all the States, carrying with it, of course, the situation In New York, which will be worked out without any suggestions from Dayton, Sees Wide Interest Leagrne. That Gov. Cox Is coming to the opln Ion that the Inevitable must be accepted snd the Lengue of Nations made at least a very Important Issue In the campaign was Implied through an informal discus slon with the newspaper men who are with him In Dayton over the subject of the nominee's mall. Approximately 60 per cent of the mall which Is being re- ceived here and In Columbus refers to the . League of Nations, he explained, adding that it indicated an extremely widespread Interest In the entry of the United States Into the league. Some of thto correspondence, Mr. Cox said, to from Republicans of the \inde- pendent\ group, who have expressed dis- satisfaction with the position of Senator Harding, who, they believe, has taken a stand absolutely against the league. Many of the writers have said they be- lieve Senator Harding's statements mean a \separate peace\ between the United states and Germany, which they oppose absolutely and Intend to fight In the campaign. As has been shown by the editorials which have been reproduce! In Ths Sun and Nxw York Herald, taken from the Dayton Netcs and the Springfield .Wire, the newspapers owned and published by the Demoeratlo nominee. Gov. Cox to bound up absolutely with the League of Nations as President Wilson brought It back from France. There Is scant ques tion now but that he will be compelled because of this position and the further Irslstence of the champions of the league, led by Its sponsor, Mr. Wilson, who has declared that they stand \abso- lutely as one\ on the Issue, to make It chief of all Democratic arguments In the campaign. Taft Declaration Considered. William H.Taft' declaration that t'te treaty In the form Mr. Wilson brought It back from France could not get through the Senate, even In tho event of Gov. Cox's election, aroused the utmost nterest In the Cox camp. The Demo cratic nominee himself Indicated that he la looking Into the Senatorial situa tion, which Mr. Taft said made It Im possible for ratification of the league covenant in Its present form. Mr. Taft's explanation was that, be cause only a third of the Senate Is to be elected .this year, there are certain to remain thirty-nin- e Republicans who have twice voted against ratification without the Lodge amendments. Thirty-thre- e, of course, are sufficient to de- feat the league. In all probability, if It develops that Mr. Taft's estimate be correct, the Dem- ocratic managers will answer that the Lodge reservation lets will be driven Into line by popular sentiment, provided there to a Democratic victory In November.

And most Important of all, booae and state politics have parted company, for the yeomen of. Maine naturally hold that prohibition enforcement Is no longer something for them to worry about now that the United State Government has the say and tha source of suuuly Is Canada. Simply through force of hnblt the Republicans, In their State convention In March, put the usual enforcement plank In the platform. The Democrat. after profound weighing of conse- quence, Ignored the matter altogether.

Criticism of the domestlo record of tha Wilson Administration since the war seems to be especially pronounced In Maine, and the truth to that thto feeling Is by no means confined to tho Republicans. Some of the President's harshest critics, privately speaking, are Democrats. One gains the impression In a trip through Maine to Bangor that the national campaigners who are to coma here later In Democracy's behalf will have a lot of persuading to do to hold en-e- n the normal Demoeratlo vote In line this year. Contest Partly City vs. Farm. The contest for the Governorship Is between a city man and a country man, between a manufacturer and a farmer. As the rural and small town popula- tion of the State continues to outnumber tho city population, despite the move- ment cityward, tho Democrats would seem to have an Initial advantage, as their candidate to the oountrybred farmor. But the farmers are too solidly Republican to iwerve to a Democrat merely because he Is one of their own kind. Obadlah Gardner was master of the Stnto Orange, but when he ran for Governor he was defeated. It was Gardner who made Die historic but vain prediction : ' You will hear the hnunn. tramp of seventy-fiv- e thousand cowhide boots marching to the polls In Septem- - Even then this was an unfortunate figure of speech and to-d- a lot of name rarmerj wh,,n thov m to th polls will ride In motor cars with white meaner on their feet. The Refcibllcan manufacturer who Is running for Governor is Col. Frederic H. Parkhurst of Bangor. The Demo- crat is Bertrand G. McTntlre of Nor- way, who In addition to being a farmer and a breeder of blooded cattle, deals In agricultural supplies. Parkhurst was born In Banpor. In his youth he served an apprenticeship In his father's trunk factory. Then ' he studied law In i,h and was admitted to the Bar, but for many years he has been the managing neaa or me trunk making firm of J. Parkhurst & Son Company, whoee em- ployees and their dependents In the year 1M represented one In every fifty in the city of Bangor. He has served In both Houses of the Legisla- ture, has been chairman of the State Republican Committee and was a dele gate to the national convention in 1900. He Is a great party worker, asnaeially skilful as an organizer and was called to Republican national headquarters by Chairman Will Htyn In 1318 to assist In the Congress compalgns. He Is known In Maine as an enthusiast who has toiled for so many years to put other men Into office that the nomination which came to him this year Is no more than his due. In addlticn. he is an at- tractive speaker and a brisk and tireless campaigner. of Parkharst Oratory. Here Is a good sample of Parkhurst's recent speaking: Lets have the largest Republican vote ever cast in Maine. Let's send a message to Harding that you propose to cio your part. When ilaino has don. her part, her political duty, wo have got a right to decide what we want to do with Maine. Maine lost her stride be cause of her location and Industrial change. We're getting back into It by Industrial revolution. Tho use of hydro-electri- c power-th- ls makes our opportunity. Maine has de- veloped power exceeding every State In the Union with the exception of Califor- nia with her mountains and New York with her Niagara. There can ba de- veloped In Maine available yearly 800.- - 000,000 horsepower. All the wheels of In dustry of the Union could be turned by power developed right here in Maine. 'Just as we lost In 1840 we stand to gain Wo have other things to offer. Think what It would mean to re- lieve transportation of coal by using hydro-clectrl- c. We need rail transpor tation and good roads. Wo haven't as good roads as wo should have. We have less miles of railroad in accordance with area than any other State on the Atlan- tic seaboard. Let every one In Maine resolve into a committee of one of what Maine has to offer. Then let them put that to every one who to coming In. Then let' believe in Maine. \Mains has a peculiar attitude toward her chief executive which la very much like that of a woman toward her hus band. She can criticise him, but aha doesn't want any one else to. Carl E. Mtlllken will go down In history as one of the best Governors Maine has had. \I was born In Maine. All I have to In Maine. My feet are deep In the soli of Maine. All my hopes and aspirations are in Maine. And I hope I may dla In Maine some day. \I shall give every shred of servtca that lies within me every day I am priv- ileged to serve to better thto State. I do net seek this office aa a stepping stone. I have no thought in my mind at tha present time beyond bains; of Maine.\ Parkhurst fought through two pri- maries to tha nomination. First he had It out with hto fellow Banforite, Tabor D7 Bailey. Both wanted to ba Governor and by friendly arrangement they had a postcard canvass made of Penobscot county. This eliminated Bailey. Then Parkhurst went Into the regular pri- mary against Gov. Mtlllken and John P. Dcering of Saco. MTIIIIken Hated and Admired.

The Democrats say they spent 1128,000, enough to build a new house. The Governor's friends reply that tho gift deserved proper treatment and that ths plan adopted of fitting up ths original building as a place for public visitation and adding a wing for tha uaa of tha Governor and hi family was tha only Bonxibi one. Anyway, the Demo- crat are trying to make a Htate Issue out of this, but have nut had much luck thus far because Maine voter find the national scramble so much more Inter esting. What really killed off Mllllken, how- ever,, was the third term. He has served two. precedent was somewhat strained In his second election, and as for a third, Maine simply will not stand for It, no matter how popular a Governor may be. Gov. Mllllken, It seemed atjlrst, would not seek reelection thto year. Them Is a suspicion that he enterod the primaries merely with the purpose of beating Col, Parkhurst, who ran against him In the primaries four years ago, and Deerlng, neither of whom he likes politically. Mllllhon announced his candidacy at the last minute, when it was evident that no other would appear to oppose these two men. Ho made no campaign. Carried Mllllken's Connty. Parkhurst had the advantage of a watertight personal organisation and of his enjoyment of the favor of National Chairman Hays. Ho carried even Aroos took county, where iMIIIlken formerly lived. In addlUon ttf his vote getting ability ho proved himself a good guesser, for he said he would get 2i,000 votes, and he did get more than 21,000. Deer- lng ran. second In tho primary and Mllll- ken third. Parkhurst faced the opposi- tion of such a power In the O. O. P. as William T. Cobb of Rockland and of the \Konnebeo crowd.\ but the rural vote carried him In by a plurality of 4,000. His hobby, as has been sug- gested, Is the turning to account of Maine's splendid waterpower, but there l no chance for an argument there, as the Democrats feel as ho does. Both sides are anxious to see pro hibited the transmission of Maine gen erated electricity outside the State. That the State's own Industry may be developod and the revenue kept In the State. Both sides are aggrieved by the President's signing of the national waterpower bill permitting lntertate transmission, and this 1 likely to cut omo figure In the national election later. Sparks of bitter feeling flew In tha course of the three cornered Republi can primary fight and even now an ember Is seen to ba aglow hero and there, but to an outsider it does not look a If there is any controversial fire which cannot be quenched before Sep- tember IS. Maine Republicans usually line up to gether on election day and this year Is no exception. In this respect the Demo- crats have the advantage. If It be one, of hiving had no tussle In the primary. The party officially disbelieves In pri- maries and Its State convention favored a return to the old nominating method. Mclntlre was virtually, although unof- ficially, nominated In the State conven- tion, and the primary was a mere rati- fication for him and tho Congress ticket. Mclntlre. who Is between 50 arid (0 year old, a solid, respected cltlsen with a reputation for knowledge of State finance gained through service as State Assessor. He I the State's rep- resentative on the Federal Farm Loan Board. He was defeated by Gov. Mllll- ken two years ago and competed for the Governorship nomination In 1915 against Oakey C. Curtis, who was nomi- nated and elected, Curtis and Plalsted being Maine's only Democratic Gover- nors in recent yeara Democrats May Cot \Dry\ Man. Usually th Democrats have gone to the cltlea for their candidate, but the last two time they decided to try a farmer. Mclntlre will appeal for the farm vote, and will get some of It where he personally known. Otherwise Park- hurst Is sure of It. Tho real question In Mclntlre' case '.s whether he can get the normal Demo- cratic vote in the cities, for he Is a prohibitionist In thought and act \a real strong temperance man.\ they call him. As has been Indicated, prohibition cuts little figure this year one way or the other, but Mclntlre la such an out and out dry that the pronounced Demo- cratic wets are wondering about him. The chances are that they will finally swallow him and rely upon the tradi- tional moisture of their party for solace In time of trouble. Dissension created In the Republican primaries is offset, in the opinion of ex- perienced observers, by the great pulling power of the competition In which Park- hurst was nominated. More than 50,000 I NO Republicans turned ou record num- ber. That in. mora than 10.000 voted as Republicans, although a good many of them ware Democrats, for under, me Maine law, which requires no party en- rolment as a qualification for primary voting In towns of less than 2,000 popu- lation, party lines are not closely drawn. Alt of this furor over tha Republican primary to supposed to ba a good thing, aa it moves men to get out for the elec- tion as well as tho primary. Hence the supposed Democratic disadvantage, for only a handful voted In me cut ana arioo. )c mi if i ill niiinarv. Maine Republicanism touched tts high water mark In 1896, when Llewullyn Power wa elected Governor by 41,000 voles. Such thumping pluralltlss are a thing of the past In a State whose total vote I only 150,000.
