GOVERNOR cox SAYS
SWING Is To DEMOCRATS.
Governor Cox said in his statement:
Following the war, with all its dis
turbing clements, there is no question
but what there was a feeling that a turn
in the road was desirable and a political
| change was generally discussed. The
voters, however, in this enlightened day,
think before they act and they are yealiz-
ing in the West that the political change
which they had in mind meant the in
trenchment OF the same old gang that
Roosevelt drove out in 1912.
The patronizing attitude Of the SEN
atorial oligarchy hes offended the West
and the plan of making the people come
to the senatorial front porch had de-
veloped into q comedy long before we
reached the coast. Every crowd, whether
il was In the ranch country or the min
ing camps or the business centers, gave
demonstrative evidence of public ridicule.
1T is nothing short of criminal the
way the evidence touching upon the
question Of the League Of Nations has
been deliberately Withheld from the peo-
pie. The resentment against reactionary
newspapers was apparent everywhere.
The circumstance which has added to this
feeling is the refusal OF the senatorial
oligarchy to print the League of Nations
covenant in the Republican campaign
book Instead of presenting the very
plain provisions of article 10 they have
used It for the purpose OF misrepresenta-
ton and alarm. In at least one State
capital the propaganda has beer so sue
/ cessful that the Democratic chairman
urged me not to discuss the question
/ The enthusiastic response to the discus
sion of the League Of Nations led to hi:
suggestion that in the rest OF our meet
ings~1n the State nothing else be talked
about.
1.-THE West understands now why agri
cultural products are falling in price
and 1t also has a full appreciation o.
the Importance Of maintaining stabilized
market conditions throughout the world
Furthermore, 1t realizes that unless tbs
/ practical opportunities which the Leagu
/ of Nations affords overseas are awaited
OF the demand for our agricultural anC
industrial products viii decline 70 |
small volume.
Three weeks ago the West wa
| amused at the attempt Of both Senator
/ johnson and former President Taft Il
recommend the senatorial candidate 70
the presidency. Recently It is resentfu
over the situation. In every audience
the prevalent belief was that Senate
Harding was either attempting to main
tai ma deceitful attitude or was gropinG
about with such uncertainty himself tina
public confidence was not promoted
PUBLIC OPINION
FAVORs LEAGUE.
Both Governor Cox and Mr.. Roosevelt
declared that the trend Of public opinion
in the last few weeks has been decided.
in favor Of the League of Nations.
Both indicated that In remaininl
speeches Of the campaign they would
! pound" hard on this issue, in order 4
dispel the results of misrepresentatioI
of Republican speakers who have beer
attacking the covenant.
