Just One Rainy Day.
A statement issued tonight by
Governor Cox, reviewing his West
ern campaign, described it as "a Won
derful trip-with just one rainy
day."
Declaring that the Western peo-
pie are INDEPENDENT the <gover-
nor's statement said, in part:
"They realized the last month
what the maintained ,reactionary pro-
paganda has meant: The thing they
resent most is the deliberate with

that the political change which they

veloped into comedy before we
reached the coast.

America is on the pay roll. Evi-
dence of the expenditure of money
is so apparent that there is no longer
doubt about the alliance between
big business. grasping protiteers and
the senatorial oigarchy.'

evidence on the issue. The West
understands, the governor said, "the
practical opportunities which the
league affords overseas" and why
agricultural products prices are fall
ing.
The West resents, Governor Cox
declared, the league situation IN
which Senator johnson and Former
President Taft both support Senator
