"God In everything" sang the poet
And this does not even exclude the
campaign speeches Of Governor Cox.
As q result OF Mr.. Co.'s allegations
Of a big Republican Campaign Cor
rupti0n Fund. certain definite facts
have been demonstrated by the sworn
testimony Of the leaders Of Governor
Cox's own party. They may be sum
marked as follows:
Il has been demonstrated that
whereas, In their most sanguine
moods. the Republican managers never
contemplated campaign fund Of
more than $4,000.000. the Democratic
party. at nm expense Of one-half. mil.
lion dollars. set up the machinery for
the collection Of q campaign fund Of
$10.00O,000.
II has been demonstrated that the
contemplated $iO,OO0,O0o fund Of the
Democrats did not materiallxs for the
sole reason that there aren't Z SUI.
acient number Of plain people In the
United States who want a continuance
Of Democratic rule. to contribute even
one-tenth Of $1O,OO0,oUO.
II has been demonstrated that
whereas. the great body Of the peo-
ple--literally thousands Of them
have willingly contributed from 81
cents 10 $1,000 to be rid Of the present
Democratic administration, and to de-
feat Governor Cox on the other hand
not thousands and not even hundreds
are willing TO contribute 8 cents to-
ward q continuance Of wisconsin.
What Records show.
II has been shown by sworn records
that whereas. In despite Of Nr. Cox's
outraged feelings over the disposition
Of thousands Of ordinary American citi-
Hens 10 help pay the expenses Of de-
feating him In his campaign for the
presidency, AIR. Coz In 1914 Viewed
with complacency the criminal efforts
of his campaign managers in Ohio to
extort from the Civil Service en-
ployees of the state contributions In
tended to further his personal pollti.
cal fortunes. II has been shown by
the testimony OF Mr.. Cox's own cam.
pa'gn managers that the $4,OO0.OOO
which the Republican managers hope
to raise for all political purposes this
wear Is not more than can legitimately
be expended for this purpose. and that
these frank Democratic managers
would also like TO have similar
amount. but don't see any way Of get
ting It.
II has been shown that the common,
ordinary rank and file Of the American
people, for the first time In American
politics, are ready TO contribute out OF
their own pockets to defeat a candida
cy which represents all that 10 repug-
nunt and hostile TO American institu-
lions, and that this willingness Of the
American people to contribute to the
expense OF defeating the Democracy
10 the sole basis of Governor CoY's
charge Of conspiracy to buy the gov
ernment of the United States. Incl
dentnlly II required the candidacy Of
Governor Cox to Introduce into ma.
tional campaigr the doctrine that Il
Is possible for the people Of the United
States to buy their ,wn government,
unless Mr.. Cox unconscieusly means
to convey the idea that In this cam.
paign the people are to bug back their
government from the autocracy which
has seized II and refuses to let 20.
Finally II has been conclusivcly dem.

All OF these conclusions have been
