Proves Cox Allegations
Speaking of the allegation made by
Governor Cox that Harding was re-
ceiving big sums OF money with which
TO conduct his campaign, Senator
elect Heflin proved by some very
plausible facts that at the Repub-
ican convention at Chicago two-thirds
OF the delegates had been bought, and
with that number Of candidates who
had been bought by Lowden and Wood
Harding received rotten nomina-
tion at rotten convention.
And the charges have not been de-
MED by Lodge, Wood, Lowden or
Root" stated Honorable Heflin.
"The Republicans" he continued
rely on the power of the purse rath-
er than upon the patriotism of the
people"
The Democratic Convention
Let us now review the activities
at the Democratic convention at San
Francisco, There were no money
bags there. The delegates sat in open
deliberate session to vote, without
any stain of character. And they
nominated man who is the standard
bearer of Democracy and man who
will win the election on November
End.
Cox VIII Win
Senator-elect Heflln then related a
tale of fox-hunt, in which one
aog kept up the spirits of the others
during the chase, and finally when
the huntsmen were about to sound
the horns and call it Off. the one dog
carnc chasing the fox out of the
woods, and the spirit of the hunt was
again revived with the result that the
fox was caught.
Just so has the spirit of the pres
ent campaign kept up" he said. "At
times, we thought that our candidate
might lose. But Cox has revived
wonderful spirit in the hearts of
the Democrats and he will win. Two
months before the election in 1916,
Hughes had Wilson beat.
Hughes did not want to take the
advice OF his managers at the out
set OF his campaign to get out among
the people and speak. He knew bet
ter than his advisers and wouldn't
go cut on a tour. But finally he did,
aid as coon as Hughes spoke, every
body went and voted for Wilson.
Harding's Front Porch
Now, just so Harding refused to
leave his front porch. Instead he
said 10 his managers, Go out and buy
some people who will gather around
my porch, and shake my hand, while
the movie cameras photograph the
acuon! Now, wasn't that sweet
smelling geraniuin?'
Harding did not want to leave
his porch. HIS managers were alarm
ed because Cox was gaining. They
told Harding, II you stay you're
beat and in reply TO his managers,
Harding said, But if 1 go am
beat
Honorable Heflin then related the tale
OF country boy who was performing
before an audience at a local talent
play. The boy performers act, ac-
cording to his announcement, was that
he would toss an egg into his mouth
without touching his teeth. When he
was executing the stunt. he acci.
dentally swallowed the egg. and then
sat down and did not move Worried
friends gathered about him and were
greatly perturbed. The performer
said 10 them, y don't know what
to do, for If ! move. I'm afraid il
will break, and If | remain still, I'm
afraid it will hatch
Republicans are deserting Harding
Progressives, Independents are fol
Cox When the Republicans published
the names OF few of the 'Olt
Guard who are for Harding, Herbert
Parsons OF New York, led list OF
over 100 old-time Republicans ant
Progrossives who were for Cox. Miss
Choate, daughter OF a staunch Re
publican, flopped TO the Democrat,
party, when Harding flopped at Bal
timore. All these broad-minded ant
intelligent citizens flopped To th'
Democratic party, when Harding flop
ped Mt Baltimore.
The Republicans did not evel
write their own platform. In tn,
opening days of the campaign, the,
offered prize of $4,000 In gold {,

girl. who would write the best plat
form for them. And the men VIII,
wrote that platform and received S.,
900 for doing it, repudiated the Re
publican party, and came out FOR Co,
