BOYS, GET THE MONEY"

There may be some dispute and some
debate about the exactness of Govern
or Cox's figures Of the Republican
slush fund, but there can be no denial
of the fact that he has shown by Of
fetal Republican documents that COM
mercialism is written all over the Re-
mercialism. "Boys, get the money
is the refrain that runs through every
line of the Republican campaign.
Harding and Coolidge have the con-
fidence of the people-but, boys, get
the money. The platform is sound
enough to hold the weight of the Ma
tion-but, boys, get the money"
This is simply another of Republic
car reaction. 1t is back to Dudley's
"blocks of five;" it's return to Quay's
shaking the plum tree"
The general staff of the Republican
party in their. plan Of campaign do not
rely on apeals to reason, to patriotism
and right; they rely on money. The
candidate is great and good man.

first-but, boys, get the money; an I'M

"NoRMALCY" AND "OLD TINES

Senator Harding has been saying in
his speeches that he wants to get
back to normally" and Governor Cool

ton of "old times"
These gentlemen are the candidates
of the "Old Guard" and must, there.
fore, voice the wishes of the odd
Guard" The "normalcy" of "old
times" Senator Harding wishes to get
back to must be that of the good old
golden Mark Hanna days, when an
"Old Guard" campaign fund exceeded
$4,000 900; when price was paid
for elections; when employees at
great industrial plants were told by
their superintendent, the agents OF
special interests, that unless they vot-
ed as they 1.-THE representatives of
special interests) wished them to vote,
their jobs would be closed to them on
the day following the election; they
were the days when corporation task
masters wrung immense dividends
from the very blood of women and
children employed in unregulated
sweatshops.
On the other hand, in the days of
"normalcy" in the "old times, there
was no Federal Reserve System; PAN
les were as frequent as the seasons
and national bank failures occurred
on an average of one every three
weeks; there was no Farm Loan sys-
TEN; small farmers were the victims
of mortgage bank pirates and tenacy
was the curse of the land; there was
no Federal Aid in road building, and
every farmer paid mud tax; there
was no merchant marine; there was
none of the many benefcent legisla-
tive enactmcnts of the last two Demo.
cratic administrations, which wrested
the power of government out of the
hands of the few and lodged it in the
hands of the people. In those days of
"normalcy" an insidious lobby guided
the hand that wrote the laws placed
upon the nations statute books, until
driven from the corridors of the Cap
itol as the money-changers of old were
dashed from the Temple.
Such was normally" in the cold
times" for which the "Old Guard, the
agents of the special interests, speak
ing through its candidates, so fcrvcnt-
ly signs.

PERTINENT POLITICAL PRATTLE
INV A. T. Edmonston)

10y n. ELu1UOIlSLOI.J
Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 20.--Mis-
souri, will continue to be safely Dem
ocratic at the November election, re-
gardless of the recent heavy st. Louis
registration of negro and pros German
Republican women, if every Demo-
cratic man and woman of Kansas City,
st. Joseph, the smaller Missouri cities
and out in the state, turns out that
day and votes the "Only Reliable
Party" ticket. from the Cox Roosevelt
electors straight through to the bot
tom, say members Of the Democratic
State Committee who have carefully
studied the situation and therefore
possess the actual knowledge on
which to base this assertion. 1t will
take an unusually determined and
united effort of Missouri Democracy
to bring out the full party vote and
accomplish this party coup, but it can
be done, is the parting shot.
The negro voting strength of the
state since equal suffrage was also be-
slowed on the species of their race is
now placed at $4,000, nearly equally
divided as to sex. OF this number
fully $4,000 masculine and feminine
Etheopians claim st. Louis as their
home, have registered there for the
November election and are bent on
exercising the great American priv
ilege to its fullest extent on election
day. The Democratic negro vote, men
and women combined, will not exceed
10000.
The st. Louis 1920 Registration
Out of St. Louis population of
772,897 men, women and children,
312,636 are now on the registration
books, fully qualified to vote at the
November election. Included are the
$4,000 negro men and women already
referred to.
The registration of st. Louis wo-
men reaches 127,318. With the
strength of voting negro women plac-
ed at $4,000 it means that 102,318 of
the species are white women, with full
ly fifty per cent of the race deter
mined to swing the state into the
Democratic column, say those who
know, if their Democratic brothers
and sisters out in the State will only
turn out on election day and assist in
this laudable purely American deter
mination.
For this reason, it is declared by
party leaders, that not a single Dem
ocratic man or woman must forget,
neglect, or for any other reason fail
to vote election day. and, it is predict
ed when all have voted and the count
is made that night it will develop that
Missouri is still safely Democratic.

the communities of the land" In this
one sentence, fresh from his heart and
brain, Governor Cox shows more real
Americanism, more sympathy with the
visions and ideals of our country, than
can be found in all the deliberate ut
tesances and calculated phrases Sena-
tor Harding ever wrote or spoke.
1t is in the communities of the land
the small country communities as
well as in the great metropolitan cit
ies--that the shrines Of government,
the affairs of patriotism, the councils
of Americanism, are found.
1t is not in great organizations, not
in theatrical leagues Of political clubs
that the foundations of our Nation are
laid It is in the quiet homes, on
farms, in the villages and towns, as
well as in the cities, that the broad and
deep basis of the fabric of our Nation
is laid.

ACCUSES cox OF LIBEL"

The Republican papers are in a per-
feet frenzy of rage because Gov. Cox
accuses the Republican national COM
mittee of trying to raise an enormous
fund for campaign purposes. They as
sert that his charges are RECKLESS,
insulting and libelous."
Yet, not many months ago Henry
Ford and his Republican supporters
in Michigan charged that Senator
Newberry went into the open market
and bought the election with an enor-
nous slush fund, and they proved the
charge! Was this charge RECKLESS,
insulting and libelous?"
And only few weeks ago the Re-
publican supporters of the other can
didates for president charged that
the friends of Gen. Wood raised mill
lions Of dollars to buy his nomination
and they proved the charge! Was
this charge reckless, insulting and
libelous?"
Then it was charged that Governor
Lowden used nearly million dollars
in buying negro delegates in the south
and white delegates in Missouri and
other states, and this charge was prov
en-.
What is the difference between rails
ing an immense corruption fund to
buy the Republican nomination for
President and of assessing" states,
cities, counties and industries with a
sum of money aggregating $15,000,-
900 to buy the election after the nom-
nation is made?

 In explaining the report, MT. Gist said the acreage in corn this year was less than last. but the acre yield was greater, which causes a production of more than 1000, 900 bushels more this year. He also said less cotton had been ginned to November 1 this year than last, and that conditions were such that the final estimate of the cotton yield could not be made at this time. He said the yield may be less than last year, though the reports to Septenoe 25 indicated a larger yield.
 Summing up on all crops, he esti- mated that the aggregate volume of production of all crops this year will be greater than last year

Paris, November 10.-On the eve of the celebration commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the republic and the second anniversary of the armi- : stice, Premier Leygues made the fol- lowing statement to the Associated Press:
 You ask me what are the senti- ments of the French republic towards the United States at the moment ws are celebrating the fiftieth anniyer- sary of the republic and the second anniversary of the armistice. The French government and the q. whole French nation feel that the ties of friendship and esteem binding our two democracies, imbued with the same ideals have always been found side by side whenever liberty and right have been menaced at all decisive hours in the history of the world
 Our two nations salute in joint transport. admiration and gratefulness the American and French heroes who fell on the battlefields of Brandywine and Yorktown, as well as on the banks of the Marne, the slopes of Montfaucon and the plains of the Mouse.
