 which had given them so good a chance to exploit the public or to the
 party of opposition?
 What about the munitiOn makers and the manufacturers of war mater
 ials? Four years ago the Democratic
 party got into power declaring that
 all these people were working for
 Republican success, but since that
 time more money has been spent for
 munitions and war materials at good prices than was ever even
 dreamed of before in the history of
 this country. Are those who have
 profited by this so "sore" at the party which promised to keep us out of war that they are going to help the Republicans put it out of power?
 What about the international fi- nanciers, the men who have made hundreds of millions in international finance since President Wilson's sec ond administration, and who are to- day hoping that the blood and the treasure of this country will be pledged in the Wilsonian League of Nations to guarantee the continuance and expansion of their gigantic prof it's? Are they going to contribute to the Republican or to the Democratic campaign fund? The chief organs of these interests in New York City, in- cluding an evening paper directly for Cox and laughing up their sleeve at his antiplutocracy smoke screen
 What about the particular special interest, hoping to profit enormously by changes in the laws of the land, which three times made MT. Cox gov ernor of Ohio and whose chief Ohio attorney managed Governor Coxs can- didacy for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination? It is going to con- tribute to the Republican or to the Democratic campaign fund?
 There are, of course, many thou sands of patriotic American business men who will contribute to the Re- publican campaign fund. They will do so because they love their country, | and believe that the welfare of each is wrapped up in the welfare of all, not because they have had or are expecting special favors from the gov ernment. The attempt of Governor Cox to place a sinister interpretation upon their support of the Republican 1 party may be characteristic of the man; but if so, it does not reveal him as one big enough for the pres idency of the United States. This ef- fort to terrorize and threaten and bullyrag those who support the oppos- ition party with lilly concealed sugges- tions that the government will be used to hound them should the Repub- lican party be successful, is too sug- gestive of the Russianizing process to which this country has been pretty we'll subjected under the present na. tional administration. It is especial ly offensive when used as a smoke screen to cover the activities of the Democratic campaign fund collectors who are now engaged in "cashing in'' on, the elements and interests which have fattened through administration favor during the past few years
 Speaking of campaign expenditures, what about the hundreds of millions of the peoples money used by the party in power during the war, under the management of such partisan press agents as George Creel, to spread administration propaganda? What about the several hundred thou sand new federal job holders who are being utilized to promote the 1 Democratic cause at this moment, at public expense? What about~the Ohio machine, the Cox machine of office 1 holding partisans who busied them sevles for months promoting the Cox | CdUUlUOCy 1OI tuC 1OIIlildtlOI e1hu ClI v
 now just as busy at the peoples ex-
 pense trying to carry the state for
 him at the approaching election?
 There is an old saying to the eff
 feet that men in glass houses should
 not throw stones. This adage seems
 to apply with special force to Gov ernor Cox. He is indulging in coarse
 abuse, cheap epithets and personal as-
 saults that would come with better
 grace from some one less vulnerable
 than himself. This he is likely to
 discover in due time if he does not
 soon abandone billingsgate and epi-
 thets and vicious personal attacks for
 methods more in keeping with can-
 didacy for the office of president of
 the United States. Even his theory
