TIRADE AGAINST

Democratic Candidate Re-
- peats Promise to Expose
Affairs , in Speech at
Pittsburgh Today.
Princton, Ind., Aug;. 25. Attack
on tepublicaft campaign financing
was renewed by - Governor Cox,
democratic presidential candidate,
in an address here today and he re
iterated his promise to expose af
fairs tomorrow at Pittsburgh.
"Fabulous sums of money," Gov
ernor Cox declared, "are being con
tributed to the republican cause by
'selfish, greedy interests to buy the
election.
"It is my privilege, and it will be
my chief aim," said the governor,
''to expose the senatorial plot and
p reveal the interests that are a part
of.it."
Large crowds applauded the can
didate here atid at Evansville. where
he had breakfast and a hotel recep
tion with a parade to the station. He
was to speak there tonight. This
was Cox day for the democracy
o: southern Indiana, with visitors
alo from Kentucky and southern
Illinois.
"The campaign this year," he de
clared, "turns almost exclusively on
the question of whether a small
group of men in the United States
senate shall run the country. They
;ire as far removed from the heart-l-eats
of the great mass of the peo-
pit as was German military autoc
v r.icy prior to the war removed from
the - vital interests of that country."
In discussing agricultural ques
tions Governor Cox said he -favored
farmer members of the federal re
serve board, the interstate com
merce commission and the tariff
commission. Agricultural produc
tion, he said, must be increased "or
America will be importing food
stuffs within a short time."

This was the fifth message sent
by the Polish delegation at Minsk,

representatives' declarations, said,
among other things, "the Polish
front is guarded by France as a part

London, Aug. 25. Poland's reply
to the peace terms presented by the
Russian soviet delegation at Minsk

Manchester-Guardian's Minsk cor
respondent in a wireless dispatch
filed ituthat city On Monday.
Out of the 15 Russian demands,
he continues, "only one, that rela
tive to demobilization, is accepted,
ind that only on condition that
Russia will take a similar course
that is to say. Russia must de
mobilize at the same time Poland
disbands her forces. ' t
"The boundary line between Po
land and Russia, as laid down by
Earl Curzon, British secretary of
state for foreign affairs, is declared
unacceptable, as it involves a third
partition of Poland. , , ,
"Demands for distribution of land
to Polish victims of war and the re
turn of catttle and horses driven
away by Polish land owners from
Ruthenia and Lithuania are rejected
as interfering with the internal af

"What we need is to have the gov

an example to individual thrift. Just
now we need to practice economy
in all things. This may sound like

O. 6. P. Cut Down Expense.
"When the republican congress
elected in 1918 came into control of
the legislative branch of the gov
ernment it did so under a pledge
to reduce the cost of government
and to stop extravagance and waste.

congress passed the eight

had carried, as prepared ana pre
sented by the 'former democratic
congress. This saving aggregated
nearly $1,000,000,000.
"The democratic party came into
power upon the promise to reduce
the high cost of living. Well, I

well. However, extraordinary con

irritations.

"There is another thought which
is suggested by our neighborly rela

has thought of American aloof

tolerate the thought of American
failure to make full contributioii to
world progress, maintained peace

doesn't our sphere for the greater
and more helpful influences lie in
our natural partnership on the west

little realized?

Firm Foreign Policy.
' ."The essentials in any really ef
fective plan for international co-operation
are to establish a tribunal
of international justice where justici
able questions are concerned,, arc
to provide the machinery of concilia
tion and to secure the advantages
of international conference. AIT this
can be sccuit-d, and I believe will be
secured, under the presidency of
Mr. Harding -without guaranties,
which attempt to commit us in un
known contingencies and which will
serve as trouble-breeders and not
as peacemakers.
"I am fully convinced, as a result
ff my conversation with Senator
Harding, that under his leadership
we shall have our foreign relations
conducted in accordance w-ith our
best traditions and America's duty
to the world will be discharged
without ignoring its duty to itself."
