COX GIVES TEN REASONS
WHY FORMER SER VICE MEN
SHOULDVOTE DEMOCRATIC
LEY TIE ASSOCIATED pREssl


New York, Sept 10.-Ten rea-
sons why former service men should
support the democratic national
ticket, prepared by Governor Cox
were made public tonight by the
democratic national committee.
The ten arguments were included
by the democratic presidential can
didate in the following letter TO the
Argonne Post Weekly, of Des
Moines, Iowa:
There are no ten reasons-nor
indeed any other number of reasons
why a former service man should
be either a hidebound republican or
democratic partisan l cannot re-
frain from uttering my sentiments
on this point before proceeding.
Against Hidebound Politics.
"Uncompromising partisanship
would dry up the well-springs of
that healthy public sentiment
which has made America. 1t would
make men slaves to those who for
mulate the party policy and would
forever stagnate the intellectual de-
lvelopment of our people.
u believe in political parties and
I have affiliated myself with the
democratic party because l have
agreed with its tenets as to govern
ment. l shall therefore, with your
pardon, give you the ten reasons
why an eX-service man should sup
port the democratic candidates:
| Because they have constantly
| talked the broadcast principles of
progressive development, conform
| ing to the spirit of the century for
independent political judgment.
Party Represents Country's Honor.
Because its candidates have
never said and never believed that
sentiment recently uttered by SEN
ator Harding when he said TOO
much is heard of independence in
politics. Because in this year the
| democratic party represents the
honor of the country. because 1t be-
lieves in keeping faith with the
living and faith with the dead, faith
with our allies and faith with our
foes.
because the democratic party
stands for a league of nations, the
existing league, to end war, to
compose differences by adjustment
of wrongs through the process OF
", rid opinion
Because it would have America
assume its rightful place at the
head of the nations of the world
urafraid to take its place as
leader.
Because only through the
league can order be brought to The
world and because the failure O
the league will cause us to reVer
to international anarchy, hug
competitive ornaments which are
inevitable breeders or war.
/ No Appeals to Bigotry.
because the democratic candl
dates despise to appeal to the ra
cial bigotry.
Because the republican part!
leaders have unblushingiy ap
pealed to the disloyalists of thu
United states and are unashamet
to hold their power in the United
States by reason of the vote OF
man found guilty of violating tn
law in obtaining his seat in tina
body, Senator Truman H. Newber
| ny, of Michigan.
because the democratic admin
istration wrote into the laws of tn
country the federal reserve act. tn
farm loan act, and other pieces o
, Legislation that enabled 1t TO NEE
tne resources of the country at
critical time so that all Americans
regardless of party, might win IN
/ greatest of all wars for humanit
Co., bigyI nrinriDlaS.
Because, Notwithstanding tina
many conditions are not IDEA
America is at this hour the safes
: place in which to live, the most DE
sirable and the best from ever
standpoint and because 1t WI
5 come through progressive evoluuo
. to a still higher plane of develop
