In the fighting along tthe River Bug, these experts showed reports indicating that the Polish offensive had materially slowed down.

Marion, Ohio, August 22.—Gover- nor Cox’s charge of a republican’ campaign fund of $15,000,000 was echraacterized by Senator Harding to- day as “absolutely untrue” and “per- fectly ridiculous.” Declaring he seconded cordially the challenge of Republican Na- tlonal Chairman Hays to the demo- cratie nominee to produce evidence of excessive republican contribu- tions, Mr. Harding aid he was not fearful of the results of any inves- tigation of the party treasury. “We court fhe fullest understand- ing of our funds, in every respect,” said the republican nominee, in com- menting on Governor Cox’s speech of yesterday. “Not only are state- ments of excessive expenditures ab- solutely untrue, but as a matter of fact We are having difficulty in pro- Fugitives Swear Last Ditch Fight To Beat Suffrage Tennessee Solons Pro- pose to Stay in Alabama.

Senator Harding added-that the wave of advancing costs and the enfranchisement of women had rais- ed the legitimate financial require- mentS of a national campaign, but declared his party's money chest contained ‘“‘nothing like” the total named by his democratic opponent. Asked whether any of the money raised by the national committee before the Chicago convention would be used in the campaign, he said it all had been expended by convention time, and that in mak- ing its arrangements at Chicago the ‘treasury had been compelled to borrow “something like a quarter of a million dollars.” The senator's attention also was called to Governor Cox’s charges that the $1,000 limit fixed by re- publican managers had been evaded by “dummy” contributions. The re- ‘publican nominge again declared he would welcotg any proof of the as- sertion and when he was. asked whether the party would return money found to have been given through “dummy” contributors, he replied: “I think that is rather a far- fetched hypothesis.” In discussing the added expense of carrying the campaign to the newy-enfranchised women, the can- didate said his party would not change its campaign machinery materially on that account. Person- ally, he said, he expected to make “no particular appeal for the votes of the women.” No Appeal to Sex or Class,* “I do not believe,” said Senator Harding, “in making a distinction of appealing to either sex or to any Class as such.
