TAKING THE AIR!

Cox-he of the Democratic presi-
dental aspirations-reminds us of the
smart alec who places a bucket of
water over the door to be tipped over
someone else who passes thru and
then has the water poured on him
self.
This 'boot-lick" of "old Lady Will
sons" with his so-called typewriter
copy" of the financial list of the
Republican Party has been dancing
around and shouting like a small boy
who has found mares nest and
can't count the eggs"
Now that the Senatorial Investigat
eating Committee appointed to ex-
anime campaign funds, is getting at
the bottom of things, it develops that
Cox's charges have precipitated an in
vestigation into his own funds that
is showing him up. One item alone
of the Democratic propaganda was
exposed which brings up the inter-
esting question of the violation of a
law in some states in the Corrupt
Practices Act" This was the pub
LEGATION of story from the book "Un-
Gle Sam of Freedom Ridge. This
was prepared in ''plate matter" ready
to print and sen ito newspapers all
over the United States free of charge.
The estimated cost of this one item
alone is 100000
This office has had letters from
the Western Newspaper Union offer
ing, free of charge, Campaign feat
ure material, news, semi-news, and
cartoon releases" (of the Democratic
National Committee). These things
were paid for by private interests
who would benefit by the election of
Cox.
The reader may remember a recent
news item about Wilson which quot
ed him as urging every one to read
this book mentioned above (Uncle
Sam of Freedom Ridge. 1t is a par
tisan argument on the League of Ma
tons. Now that Cox and his crowd
are circulating extracts from this
book under the guise of news" it is
plainly seen how Cox is playing into
the hands of Wilson. We believe
that even the "Dyed-in -the-woop
Democrat will not sanction this un-
derhand method of Slipping over" on
the unsuspecting public such propa-
ganda as the Democratic Commit
tee is circulating thru the Western
Newspaper Union as News.
Another embarrassing matter that
has developed in the investigation is
the demand to know about the $751;
900 given to the Democratic Campaign
Fund by the British Embassy. This
contribution, said Representative Brit
tain, has been acknowledged in Lon
don.
1t is logical to believe this when
it is known that Cox has made over
lures to British interests. A New
York paper today carried story
telling of request made by Chair
man Pat Harris, of the National
Democratic Speakers Bureau, asking
Ambassador John W. Davis to stump
for Cox. In reply to this Ambassa-
dor Davis said: MAY / not be at
tackled on the ground that l repre-
sent British Government sentiments
And Ambassador Davis is right.
The coming election is to elect a
president and vice president for the
UNITED STATES and not for Eng
land. The people of these United
States are tired of being subjugated
by other nations. Wilson in his inor-
dinate vanity went to Europe and was
out-generaled by the shrewd diplo-
mats with whom he came in contact.
He was so wrapt up in "seeing Wis
ions" and ''hearing voices in the air"
that he could not protect the interests
of his own people. Now Cox comes
along and prepares to follow in his
steps.
His riduculus charges about a Re-
publicatn fund has proven, on oath,
to be but one million and seventeen
thousand dollars instead of the fabul-
Gus fifteen million. The testimony
of Fred W. Upham, Republican Treas
urer, shows that only $4,000 a day
is being averaged in their collections.
In this way but $1,25O,OOO could be
raised before election day. This
would make a total of only $2,25O,O0O
or $750,000 short of the budget that
has been prepared.
The pitiless investigation is show
ing Cox up as wind jamming blow
hard. Facts are being JARED" And
Cox is having to take the "air."
