that they have as difficult time in

touched briefly upon the origin and
history of the organization, spoke of
the international convention which
next year will be held at Edinburgh,
Scotland and urged the clubs to send
delegates who would be truly repre-.
sentative. He referred to the unique
character of the organization, as ex-
pressed in the principle of having but
one member in each line of business,
and counseled that this principle be
rigidly adhered to. He declared that
friendship in business should be cul-
tivated, and characterized the condi-
ton of man hating his competitor
in business as small town stuff" He
used some exquisite imagery in bring
ing out the points and illustrating the
features of his address, which was

ernor Cox is campaigning with the
home folks, going from here to Day
ton, where he will speak and rest at
his home at Trails End, and prepare
for a speech tonight at Indianapolis
In his speeches at Cincinnati yes
terday the Governor made special
plea for the election of a Senate In
sympathy with him on the League Of
Nations questions.
Don't tie my hands by electing q
hostile SENATOR he said, after re-
iterating his statement of the day be-
fore regarding his intention to con-
fer with the Senate on proposed
changes in the league covenant.
He continued his attack against
Senator Harding, whom he designat-
ed as conspirator against the coun-
try.
Il think you will agree" said the
governor, that there was conspir-
acy In the Senate to strangle the
League of Nations to death. Now we
are asked to upset the conspiracy,
and the senatorial crowd proposes, as
the official upsetter, member OF the
conspirators himself. When a case Is
tried in court, the man under charge
never sits in the judges seat, and he
never sits in the jury box, and the
American people in their desire to
overturn this base conspiracy are not
going to designate one OF the conspir-
ators himself to carry out the job"
Predicts Landslide
Reiterating his prediction OF
Landslide for the cause of peace"
Governor Cox repeated his prediction
that Senators Brandagee of C8nnec-
ticut, Smoot, of Utah. Moses Of New
Hampshire, Watson Of Indiana, and
other Republican candidates signing
the "round robin" would be defeated.
The nominee asked the Kentucky vot-
ers to send back Senator Beckham,
Democrat, while the Ohio voters were
urged to support w. A. Julian, the
Democratic nominee
Seven addresses were made yester.
day, the crowds in several places
in downpour Of rain under
a sea OF umbrellas.
Prosperity at Stake
The prosperity Of the country, the
governor said said, is contingent upon
our becoming a member OF the League
Of Nations. IF we stay out predict
the worst financial depression with
in three generations.
He said that every European i'm
perialist was against the league, and
i was striking thing that the only
hing in America approaching imper.
alism, the senatorial oligarchy, was
to It also.
