By Threat.

LOUISVILLE. KY. Oct. s.-Scath-
ing attack was made here Friday
night by Gov. Cox. OF Ohio, upon
the recent league pronouncements Of
Sen. Harding, his republican op-
ponent. Sen. Harding's creed, the
democratic presidential candidate de-
clared in an address here closing his
Kentucky campaign, was forced "un-
der pressure of q threat from Sen.
Borah' and is America and Ameri-
ca only"
TO preach such a gospel of self
ishness IS an offense 10 the decency
of America" said Gov. Cox. citing
humanitarian and commercial and
other world relationships such a
proclamation OF provincialism is
little short Of treason 10 our tradi-
tons.
IF we are to heed the preachment
Of the prophet Of Marion" Mr.. Cox
continued, we might just as well
make our declaration Of independ-
ence scrap of paper; we might just
as well burn all our great Americans,
past and present, in effigy."
Calls for Statement
In view of Sen. Hardings stand
against the present league, Gov. Cox
asked whether former Pres't Taft
and other republicans favoring
American membership would con-
tinue supporting Mr.. Harding. The
governor also asked whether former
Pres't Taft's candidate is giving him
an entirely different assurance" from
his speeches and requested Mr.. Taft
TO tell ''in front of the curtain what
is going on behind"
The governors address here, to
several thousand persons in a re-
ligious revival tabernacle closed a
strenuous days campaigning in
which he delivered 13 speeches
across Kentucky. In virtually all he
preached the League Of Nations and
progressivism and flayed the "sena-
torial oligarchy." In his opening
speech this morning at Paducah. he
reiterated that the "oligarchy' was
seeking to annex the presidency
and also said that a great menace.
