Governor to Use Private Car
!. The Governor is using a private car
which in the past has served for Presi-
dent Wilson and former President Taft.
There was some disappointment
among Cox followers here to-day over
the adjournment taken by the Senate
Campaign Investigating Committee.
Comment on the recess resolved into
a statement that the committee did not
seem anxious to proceed with its ex-
animation of Edmond II. Moore, in Chi
cago.
Ohio Republican headquarters, how
ever seemed to take the view that moth
ing is to be feared, for statement was
, issued as follows:
"Mr. E. H. Moore, departing for Chi
cago as the representative of Governor
Cox at the Senatorial investigation,
says with regard to the officials of the
Republican National Committee who
are testifying there:
"They Will BE- under oath and facing
pains and penalties of perjury. I think
they will tell the truth
"That is precisely the point with re-
gard to the entire situation-the Re-
publicans will tell the truth and under
oath. Meanwhile, Mr.. Cox goes about
the country making his ridiculous
the obligations of an oath. AS Gov
ernor Cox's representative at Chicago
Mr. Moore will have nothing to offer
the committee except hearsay evidence
which he has obtained from Governor
Cox. Everybody else connected with
the Democratic organization is in a
similar posi.ion. On what basis of
reasoning Ell Governor Cox's wild
charges h ace I'D seriously, as
against the s7so.n IL: imony Of the Re-
publican LADDERS Why doesn't Gov
Submit to examination under oath!"
Meets Educational Committee
The Governor met to-day a commit
tee OF the ,.t.o.al Education Associa-
ton, heade, = Mrs. Cora Stewart Will
his nomination at San Francisco. The
committee came to lay educational
propositions before the Governor and
not to discuss politics.
Mrs. Wilson, however, said later that
abe expected to speak in the Governors
behalf
Earlier in the day the Governor
spoke briefly to the National Board Of
Farm Organizations. He said:
The time has come when more
good old hard-headed farmers must
have their fee. under the table when
important national policies are deter
mined"

are not only entitled to greater repre-
sentation, but that 1.-The public interest
demands it," He pledged that dirt
farmers will appear on the Federal
Reserve Board and the Tariff and the
Interstate Commerce commissions II
he is elected.
After asserting that there is not a
man on thu Interstate Commerce Com
mission "who knows much about farm
the great needs to-day is a larger num-
Der OF railroad owned instead Of
privately owned cold storage cars.
The cold storage interests, through
their control Of this phase Of trans
portation and their elimination Of the
law Of supply and demand. have caused
the public, without justification, to
look upon the farmer as q profiteer,
he said.
y reiterate that y national law
limiting the period Of cold storage is
imperative"
he urged greater development Of
