 Use by his opposition of an editorial in his newspaper six years ago crit icising travelling salesmen was de- nounced by Governor Cox in his ad | dress here tonight
 S Spread "False Propagandsv The travelling mems bureau of the Republican national commilee under the leadership of Coleman Dupont, Re publican national committeeman for Delaware, Governor Cox charged. is spreading false propaganda" that the governor had attacked American tray cling men.
 Reiterating that the editorial was written by paid editorial writer while the governor was absent. Governor Cox recited how he had compelled an immediate editorial apology from the writer.
 Coleman Dupont. Governor Cox said is not a travelling man but "the Krupp Of America" Citing his own position for the league of nations and that of Senator Harding. his Republican oppo- nent, Governor Cox said tfTNt the Du- pont family had grown financially fat and insolent on the piofits of war" and that he was not surprised that MT Dupont was opposing his election.
 Has Dupont c;>cular
 T am not so much concerned about the deoeitful propaganda. said Gov ernor Cox, "as l am to have the peo- pie understand just what is going on I hold in my hand the letter and cir cular issued by Coleman Dupont as chairman of the travelling mems bu- reau of the Republican national com mittee. think every one knows that Coleman Dupont is not ,ravenng man and that he has no great public inter- est at stake in this campaign. I can understand how he would undertake to organize groups and stir up proju- dice to encompass my defeat because Coleman Dupon, as the Krupp of,Amer ica, a member or the great intuition family, knows what it means should l be elected and secure the ratifica- tion of the treaty of peace and tse league of nations. When men bleed and die on the battle fields the munition makers receive dividends and the league of nations definitely provides against this sore of profiteer- ing in the future.
 Makes Peace Permanent
 Not only is the league of nations designed to make peace permanent, but it provides for taking away agen- cies of war for a general disarmament, and as the first step toward disarma- ment and war prevention, it declares against the manufacture of munitions in. any event by private concerns, be- | cause such concerns inspire and invite 1 war. No wonder Coleman Dupont is interesting himself in behalf of the reactionary candidate whose motto is scrap the league of nations
 Governor Cox recited information re- garding his politics, prohibition. Irish question and German and other aues- tions, which. the candidate declared had been spread by his foes.
 Huge Corruption Fund
 Governor Cox reiterated that the Republicans had sought to conduct a campaign of confusion and deception by injection of what he termed as lex traneous" issues.
 Tt was evident that when we dis covered their creation of a huge cor ruption fund.-" said the candidate. that ordinary lines of campaign rere to be disregarded, for every one fully rec ognized that it would be impossible to spend a fund of s15,00O,OOO in iegiti- mate ways. But as the days have passed we have found why the reac- tionary forces felt the need of so much money. It is not an easy matter to divide the friends of great pIfnciple. and yet, in order to win a presiden tial election. that is the very thing they sought to do.
 Napoleon of Politics
 Under the direction of 1.-the would be Napoleon of politics, whose only knowledge of procedure is. to array class against class by the expenditure of money, the members of the sena- torial oligarthy, recognizing that the people of America were for peace through the league of nations and that they were progressive, sought to Gi- vide the forces by the injection of is- sues that not only were extraneous but utterly without place in presi- dential campaign"
 The travelling salesmens "propagan- da' was cited by the governor us an example of the opposition tactics and he declared that there has not been a single group, racial, social or com mereial-to which appeal has not been made by deceitful propaganda, to dis tract thought away from the league of nations and from my advOoan,- of ,.x~
