D.t Sept, business was assailed and. progressivism preached by Governor James M. Cox in a tour to-day of 200-miles in North Dakota, near the Canadian boundary. These issues, together with the League of Nations, were emphasized to eight audiences, composed principally of farmers," laioreru, small men, women and children.

Besides two regularly scheduled and extended speeches at Grand Forks early, and here to-night, the candidate spoke at Larmore, Devil's Lake, Leeds. Rugby, Towner and Granville, making brief as the Guaranteed First Mortgage Certificates stand at the summit oj sound investments. WHAT ARE MORTGAGE CERTIFICATES?

Big business is seeking his defeat, Governor Cox declared, by contributing largely to the Republican fund. Large interests, he asserted, ara arrayed al? most solidly against him and are "leagued the Senate oligarchy." Recalls Ropsevelt Fight To his audience here to-night and also others en route. Governor Cox told of Former President Roosevelt's fight in 1912 against alleged "reaction? ary Republican leaders." "He led the crusade against vested interests and political bosses who served them," said the Governor. "He called the roll and specified persons by name. He named Boss Barnes of New York, Fenrose and Smoot as connecting links between crooked business and crooked politics." Referring to testimony before the Senate campaign fund investigating committee of alleged subscriptions by large corporations and wealthy indi? viduals, to Mr.

Barnes's Republican book. Governor Cox continued: "The same old crowd is back in the front line. Barnes, who in Roosevelt's mind was the Judas of the party, has been made its St. Paul and has been designated to write the faith of the party for the campaign." Discusses Barnes Book Reading the names of the Barnes book list, the Governor added: "Large -sums' Were pledged to Mr. Barnes to instruct the electorate.

That it was done with the knowledge and consent of Senator Harding, the can? didate for these same interests, is shown by his letter, directed personal? ly to Mr. "Barnes. It is also commended by Boise Penrose, the Pennsylvania boss. This is of interest this year, be? cause the same voices have defied the voice of the primaries und nominated a member of th? Senatorial oligarchy who did not receive a majority vote in a single state primary." Governor Cox told his audience that he came as "the preacher of peace, progress and prosperity." "I am for the kind of prosperity," he explained, "that will enable the farmer, the business man and the laborer to get his share, but with no reserved seat in the government for big business or special privilege." Besides seeking an "underhold in government," Governor Cox declared large industrial interests desired an administration which would use force in industrial disputes, and he reiter? ated pleas for "the Golden Rule, not the bayonet," in settling strikes. The territory visited to-day by Gov? ernor Cox is the scene of sharp fighting between the Nonpartisan League and its opponents, and "radicalism" was discussed by the candidate.

Urging progress rather than reaction, he said: "Wherever you have despotism you are going to have revolution. If you don't cultivate the process of govern? ment you are going to have radicalism. There are some people in this country who believe that when radicalism as? serts itself they should lay the hand of force upon it, the hand of oppression. My creed is entirely different. It is to cultivate the principles and the prac? tices of good government, and you won't have radicalism anywhere in the world." One-Way Traffic Will Continue on Bridges Despite Jam Inspector O'Brien Con? vinced System Is Practical Brooklyn Structure Has Worst Tie-Up in 37 Years A one-way traffic system on Brooklyn Bridge failed yesterday, but Inspector John J.

O'Brien, in cnarge of traffic, says that the practicability of the plan has not been disproved. Under normal conditions, he believes the one-way traffic plan will be a vast improvement ever the old system. The bridge was choked yesterday as it never has been choked during the thirty-seven years of its history. A milk truck stalled on the bridge, near the New York tower, at 8 o'clock in the morning. This was the beginning of troubles that continued throughout the day.

During the twenty minutes that workmen labored with the truck east bound traffic remained blocked in a long stream that extended as far back as Park Row. Business was trying to catch up after suspension over Saturday, Sunday and Labor Day, and Inspector O'Brien pointed to this as one of the obstacles in the way of complete success for the one-way experiment. Another attempt will be made with the one-way plan to-day, and the scheme will be made permauent unless experiments, under normal conditions, show that the idea is not practicable. The following are the, rules for the new traffic schedules on the bridges: Before 3 p. on each day, Brook? lyn Bridge is to be used for east-bound traffic only.

Before 3 p. each day, Manhattan Bridge is to be used for west-bound, traffic only. West-bound traffic may use the Williamsburg Bridge from 7 to 10 o'clock each morning, and east-bound traffic may use it from 4 to 7 p. m. During the other hours the bridge will be open for traffic in both directions.

Strikers Mayor Hylan As Arbitrator (Continued from seja sue) ditions to its complement of subway and elevated trains. Many old' employees, called from their jobs by the union, it was said at the company's office, have applied for reinstatement, and not a few are man? ning surface cars. While officials de? clined to hazard any prophecy, it was apparent tbey anc-ir'nate wholesale de? sertions from ranks of the strikers by noon to-day. That is the time limit set by Receiver Garrison for the men to return to their jobs and retain their seniority rights. In their attempted negotiations with Judge Mayer, Mr.

Mahon and his asso? ciates made Mayor Hylan their emis? sary. The latter conferred with Judge Mayer in his chambers. The judge declined to recede from his position that no proposition emanating from any one associated officially with the Amalgamated would be entertained by the court. lie also declined to make any prop? osition for consideration by the asso? ciation reiterated that his propo? sition to the men, as individuals, was contained in his letter of September 2 to Mayor Hylan. Busses Withdrawn Brooklyn residents were much con? cerned last night by the withdrawal of municipal buses from all streets on which trolley service had been re? sumed.

The discontinuance of the emergency service was announced by Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner of Plant and Structures, who also issued an order prohibiting bus service of any kind in Brooklyn except on routes established and supervised by the De? partment of Plant and Structures. Brooklyn theatergoers and night workers contend that the withdrawal of the emergency service will work a hardship on them, as there are no trol? leys in operation after dark and they will have no means of transportation to and from their The eleven surface lines to be opened to-day are the Court Street, Hamilton Avenue, Third Avenue, Fifteenth Street, Rogers Avenue, Hoyt-Sackett, Ralph Rockaway, Cypress Hills, Flushing Avenue, Calvary Cemetery and Lorimer Street. With these additions the company will have fifty of its main lines In operation, which will constitute almost normal surface service, except for cross-town lines. There was no recurrence of Mon? day's violence yesterday and the sporadic outbursts of car stoning in various sections of the city resulted in no serious damage.

Indictments for Murder Sought in B. R. T. Death Indictments for murder in the first degree will be asked against the strikers arrested in connection with the stoning of a Sea Beach train that resulted in the death of Frederick Friedman August 81. This announce meat was made yesterday when Dis? trict Attorney Lewis, of Sings County, began the submission of evidence in the eases to the grand jury.

Besides resulting in the death of Friedman, a seventeen-year-old passenger, John W. Fairbanks, the motorman, was serious? ly injured. Seven men alleged to have partici? pated in the attack have been held without bail on charges of homicide and three as material witnesses. The cases against the men are based largely on the story of Frederick Wilke, a former B. R.

T. guard who left his employment before the strike was called. He is held in bail of $10, 000 as a material witness to prevent his testimony being influenced. Thirteen strikers arraigned yester? day for alleged participation in the Labor Day riot at Prospect Park Plaza, Brooklyn, were held in $500 bail each. Several other cases originating in Monday's violence were disposed of in Brooklyn police courts yesterday.
