Governor Cox asked whether anyone knew a "Republican. candidate. Harding" was retorted, and thereupon somebody shouted "America firit." Mr. Cox retorted: What was Germany's war cry? It was "Deutschland Ueber Alles" and the world rose against it and struck it down, for it was selfish and inhuman. He added that if their slogan was to be "America first” she must arm to the teeth; therefore his creed was "God Almighty first." The speech was loudly cheered.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.

LONDON, September 16.

A conference of the Miners' Executive and Sir Robert Horne was held privately-to-day and adjourned until noon on Sept. 17. Hopes of a settle ment are said to brighter than before, owing to indications that the miners' leaders, in view of the lack of public enthusiasm for their efforts to reduce the price of coal, might modify their demands.
