COX'S VARIED ROLES
i
By SCbTT C. BONE
At "one" with Woodrow Wilson and for Wllsonlm nnd nil It
Implies, without reservation, yet beseeching n weary, tuvbiirdenod

Boss Tnggart nnd Kd Moore I Thai's Candldato Cox.

Bryan's appraisement, In a Democratic Convention dominated by the
wets, yet now endeavoring to convlnco an arid country that he Is dry

Charging that a corruption fund of $10,000,000 was being jalsed to
buy up the Presidency, and then, nt safe distance from the seat of
Inquiry, raising the amount to $30,000,000, yet without producing on
lota of evldence.ln support of his wild charges. That's Candidate Cox.
A machine-made politician, vouched for by Tammany, jet pre
tending to have been given the light In 1012 as a disciple of Theodore
Roosevelt and Hiram Johnson I That's Candidate Cox.
Arraigning the press for not taking him seriously by printing his
speeches, yet knowing, as a newspaper man, that the cost of print
paper under this Administration Is too high to gIo space to mere
words! That's Candidate Cox.
Crylnr out against n mythical "Sennto oligarchy," because the
precious Wilson covenant failed of ratification, yet with full knowledge
that hostility of Democratic Senators rendered ratification Impossible I

Washington. The American people
are carefully" making a close compari
son right now between Setiutor Hard
tug and Govenior Cox, Tho cholco be
tween these two men and the policies
they; represent Is not u dttllcult one
and the writer honestly believes the
American people have their minds
made up and aro ready to vote.
Senator Harding uud Governor Cox
are almost dlametrlcclly opposed to
each ether in everything. Senator
Harding stands for Americanism and
Governor Cox espouses International
ism. 'Harding is cautious about what
kind of a league he uud his party goes
lute while Cor wants to wade right
into the European leaguo as proposed
by President Wilson.
Senator Hurdlng Is careful, delib
erate, dignified, silicon.-, serious aud
constructive, while Governor Cox Is
crafty, quick to seize upon any kind
of an artifice; he Is bombastic aud
impulsive.
Senator Harding has been a life
tint accumulating a moderate fortune
while Gextfrnor Cox jumped into the
nltfB4Ulaire class in a few years.
Harding "live modestly and quietly in
an uaeateatttleua "manner while Gov
ernor Cox lives-in luxury on a large
stata lu a home costing half a rail
iltin dollars.

years ef age on Election Day. He is

Here is a picture of? James Duncan
MacGregor, Jr., nge fourteen, who Is
tho publisher of Tho Weekly Press of
Stamford, Conn. In a recent Issue of
his newspaper ho said:
"The editor qf this paper wishes
JAMES DUKlCAN foACGREQOR, Jr.
to say tho object of The Weekly Press
Is to publish facts, and do my part
In helping tho United States get Into
ofllco good, honest men, men who love
their country first of nil. As I am
only fourteen years' old, I ennnot vote,
but I appeal to all voters to cant their
ballot for Senator Wurren G. Harding
and Governor Calvin Coolldge."
James numbers his ancestors among
tho signers' of the Declaration of In
dependence and always has been n
reader of biographies of great men.
RooBOvelt Is his hero. Harding Is his
idea of the kind of a man tho country
should have for President.

OUT FOR HARDING.
Washington. Major Benedict Crow
ell, Mr. Baker's former Assistant Sec
retary of War, warm admirer of Pres
ident Wilson, li the latest distinguish
ed man to declare In an Interview that
he is in favor of the election of Hard
ing and Coolldgo end n Republican
Congress at the polls in November.
Major Crowell goes so far as to say that
he Is In favor of the league ot-nntlons
but ho prefers to tako his chances on
getting the league with Senator Hard
ing rather than with Governor Cox.
"Now that President Wilson Is re
tiring from active political life," said
Major Crowell, "It Is wlso for his sup
porters to pauso aud take stock of the
situation. I have always favored a
league of nutlous but the Democratic
party has no monopoly on the league.
Indeed, the present Democratic admin
istration has fulled on this subject In
spite of the fart that 75 per cent
of the Senate were In favor of some
kind of a league.
"It seems evident that Governor Cox
Is making many promises regarding
the league which ho may not be able
to fulfill."
Senator Ilardtng, observation leads
us to believe, has created n Btrong
luipretslon of earnestness, sincerity
and high sense of duty. Ills uttcN
auces are marked by a studied mod
eration; he exhibits no arrogance of
oplnlont and has made no extrava
gant promises of a millennium to be
created by proclamation; he seeks
rather to express the national spirit
than to Impose a doctrine of political
infallibility. And there is as unmis
takably a growing view that Gover
nor Cox Is a shifty opportunist, super
Acts! in thought, reckless lu appeal
attf' ' Irresponsible in statements.

REPUBLICANS INSURE
ECONOMICAL CONDUCT
Washington. Not one man in ten
thousand reallr.es tho enormous ex
penses run up by the present Govern
ment, The disbursements are roughly
515,000,000 a day, more than a year
after tho war. In 1014 the people
expostulated because tho dully dis
bursements by the Treasury had
reached $2,000,000. How gladly would
the peoplo groaning undcY the Impo
sitions of profiteers and tho burden of
taxes welcome a return to those hal
cyon days I Congress and the new Ad
ministration will have"t6 deal with
the reduction of Gpvernmerit expendi
tures. The satno party that bus swelled
them returned to power will never re
duce them, becausb it claims the gov
ernment Is being economically admin
istered. The Itepubllcan party will
delight In reducing these enlarged ex
penses for clerk hire, und the Insa
tlubltt bureaus that have been built up
Into money spendlur machines. By
holding In their hands all lines of ex
penditures tho new Congress and new
Uxecutlvo working together will cut
dowjr excessive Items aud eliminate
others to nit aggregato of hundreds
of millions of dollars.
NATION DEMANDS
THOROUGH CHANQB.
Chicago, Oct. . If one were re
quired to namo a single factor which
is doing more than any other to work
toward Itepubllcan success In Novem
ber, ha would probably have to say:
Determination of tho public to have
a change und to get away from Wll
sonlsm. iteports from all quarters tell of this
feeling, at once u desire for a change
and a determination to bring it about
at the polls November 2.
Whether It be trom the central west,
tho far west, the east or the south, the
reports tell of this seeking for a
change. The desire for a change 13
born of dissatisfaction, dislike and dis
gust felt by the voters toward the Wil
son administration and the things It
has done and left undone.
Mr. Cox Is looked on as a man who '
If lib were elected would follow the j
track of Mr, Wilson. In fact, he has
declared himself In "complete accord"
with Mr. WlUon. j
Tho public, by all accounts, Is not '
looking for a man who will go along

Vote for RE-ELECTION of
CHIEF JUSTICE
Andrew ft Morrissey
"The political parties have made no
nominations for Chief Justice. The
Chief Justice Is not elected as a party
candidate, but his name will be found
with other Judicial Candidates, and
school officers on a separate ballot.
"We favor the re-election of Chief
Justice Morrissey because we relieve
In the law designed to take the
courts out of politics and to elect
Judges because of their qualifications.
"Olx years aao when ha became
Chief Justice the court was about
three years behind. Today the court
Is as nearly up with Its work as It Is
practicable for a supreme court to be.
Credit for this Is not wholly due to
the Chief Justice, but other members
of the court who have contributed to
this result give full credit to Chief
Justice Morrissey for his share In Its
accomplishment.
"He has executive ability that oets
results. He enjoys the friendship and
co-operation of his associates. He has
the respect and confidence of the
lawyers who have business In the
Supreme Court. He has helped to
clear away many technicalities of the
law. Law-breakers have been brought
to justice and honest men enjoy the
protection of the courts.
"If you are in doubt about how to
vote on Chief Justice, ask your Dis
trict Judge." Lincoln Tribune.
