Hays Charges Cox Is
Dominated by Bosses
(Contiylfd From Pace Oh.)
in selecting an ivssue about which to
rally. -
"It is for their new leader, now
zigzagging back and forth from the
sinister blight of the soloist of the
democratic party to the furtive
presence of its quartette of bosses,
to make his selection," he said.
Of republican willingness to meet
their adversaries on whatever
ground they choose, Mr. Hays said:
"When they . concentrated upon
the league covenant without t!ie dot
ting of an V or the crossing of a 't,'
vx '"ft them squarely. ",'.'
When, through their national
chairman, fresh from a tOiiferewe
with their candidate; tliev pro-1
nounced the coffhant only-a 'sec
ondary issue' after all, we acquiesced.
When the cajicjidales" rtrverscd their

they will laijtf is wholly -onjcc-

Oppose Restrictions.
The ultimate. xhoiCe' of $16 demo
cratic party is a matter or indiffer
ence to the republicans,- Mr. Hays
declared, adding-
"Our sole requirement is that
there shall be no restriction. This
referendum is going to be more than
solemn. It is going to be great, the
rpOst comprehensive ever known.
Before ended it will have cornprised
every phase of maladministration
and every fltck of Wilsonitis. that
