 Extracts which featured Governor Cox's speech of acceptance
 T thank God I take up the stand ard of Democracy a free man, unfet- tered by promises and happy in the consciousness sof untrammeled oppor tunity to render a service.
 He who turns away from the trag- edles and obligations of the war. not consecrated to a sense of honor and of duty which resists every base sug gestion of personal or political exped- iency, is unworthy of the esteem of his countrymen."
 
 nal and effective peace so soon as a Republican Congress can pass it's de claration, means but one thing-a se- parate peace with Germany"
 This would be the most disheart- ening event in civilization since the Russians made their separate peace with Germany and infinitely more un worthy"
 "The discourtesy to the president is an affair of political intrigue, His tory will make it odious. As well might it be directed at wounded soldier of the war"
 "No less an authority than Senator Lodge said that to make peace ex- cept in company with the allies would brand us everlastingly with dishonor and bring ruin to us.'
 To attempt, after peace is declar- ed with Germany, to approach Flu rope with the view to entering "a new relationship" as Harding propos- ed would either be regarded as ar rant madness or attempted interna- tional bossiSm."
 Every High School youngster in the land knows that no treaty can | override our constitution which re- serves to Congress alone the power to declare war"
 Morals cannot easily be produced | by statute The writ of injunction should not be abused. We need a | definite and precise statement of pol l icy as to what business men and | working men may do and may not do | by way of combination and collective action. Neither labor nor capital should at any time take action that would put in jeopardy the public well fare"
 "Senator Harding, as the Republi- can candidate, proposes in plain words that we remain out of it (the league), As the Democratic nominee l favor going in. The matter should be ap- preached without thought Of the Dit terness of the past. We hear it said that interpretations are unnecessary
 but they will at least be reas- surfing to many of our citizens.
 q am convinced that the expense of the government can without loss of efficiency be reduced to max imum of four billion dollars, including sinking fund and interest on the na- tional debt," with adoption of oudg- ct system"
 Multiply your home-owners and you will make the way of seditlous agitation more difficult.
 There will be no attempt in this campaign to compete by dollars with our opposition"
 "As a possible substitute for the ex- cess profits tax 1 suggest small eaA' probably one to one and one-har per cent on the total business or every going concern"
 Farming will not inspire individual effort unless profits, all things con sidered. are equal to those in other activities"
 "The public official who fails to enforce the law is an enemy both to the constitution and to the American principle of majority rule"
