greatest majority ever given to a
French president.
Three hours were consumed in cast
ing the ballots and counting the
votes. When NJ. DeschaneIs election
as the successor of Raymond Poin-
care was announced by Leon Bour-
geois, president OF the assembly,
there was a tremendous outburst OF
enthusiasm, deputies and senators
rising spontaneously, turning toward
M. Deschanel aud cheering repeat
edly, while scores OF voices took up
the cry OF long live the republic!
In accordance with the avowed
policy of retrenchment and economy
pursued by the present government,
the ceremony OF the election OF the
president, which in former years was
always one OF the most brilliant of
State events, was kept within the
limits or the strictest official neces-
sity.
While there was nothing lacking
to lend solemnity and dignity to the
greatest political event since the war,
the extravagant manifestations char
scterizing the election of NJ. Poincare
was noticeably absent.
Brilliantly Lighted.
The soberness OF the attire OF the
parliamentarians on the benches was
in striking contrast with the gayness
OF the gowns and hats of the fash
ionabl women In the spectators gal
lery. The scene was brilliantly light
ed by $4,000 candlepower electric
globes concealed behind the skylight
in the dome of the forum, as Leon
Bourgeois. the new president OF the
Senate, mounted the rostrum. and,
ringing the ancient hand bell for or
der, opened the ninth presidential
election of the Third Republic with
short speech calling attention TO
the solemnity of the occasion and
pointing to the past glorious and the
menacing future of France.
Each voter, as he dropped the paper
containing the name of his choice in
the graceful receptacle, either re-
turned to his seat, or passed out into
the corridors to discuss the probable
result with adherents of his party.
The enthusiasm was intense when
the result of the vote was announced,
statesmen leaping from their seats
and crying "Vive lie President" while
the plaudits and bravos of beautiful
women resounded from the encircling
galleries.
The new President will take office
on February Is.
The total vote was cast as follows:
NJ. Deschanel, 1884; Charles Jonnart,
66; Premier Clemenceau, Sc: Leon
Bourgeois, 6; Capt. Jacquez Sadoul. /.
The other ballots making up the total
of SS9 were declared void.

THE BUFFER
Corvallis Gazette-Times)


A certain candidate for president
is making his campaign solely on the
theory that "you can fool all the peo-
pie part of the time, and part OF the
people all the time" The candidates
name is Cox. He resembles the
rooster in his ability to crow about
nothing, but he resembles another
animal in his ability to squeal, the on
ly difference being that when a pig
squeals it has something real to
squeal about.
In all his Western campaign Mr..
Cox is making an effort to impress
the people with the idea that he is
progressive RatsI AS though
Charles Murphy, Tom Taggart and
that outfit would nominate a ''pro-
pressive"I
Cox, however, goes on the theory
that he is so far away from his record
out here that we won't know any
thing about it. In that assumption
he is largely correct, just as the other
day the Oregonian answered an in
quiry as to the reason for Cox's di-
vorce by saying it ''was nothing dis
creditable to him."
But let US get the facts, few of
them. in the Cox Ohio record. Mud
singing is not necessary, for the rec
ord speaks for itself. In the first
. place Cox takes unto himself credit
and all his newspaper supporters give
it to him-of being the progressive"
influence that was responsible for
calling a convention in Ohio to adopt
a new constitution.
The facts are that the convention
would have been called if Cox had
never been born, for the very good
reason that the fundamental law of
Ohio, enacted by the constitutional
convention of 1851, required that
constitutional conventions should be
called at certain regular intervals for
the purpose of revising the constitu-
ton. So the matter could not have
been avoided under any circum-
stances.
Another thing-Cox, who could
never find anything too contemplate
to say of Theodore Roosevelt when
he was living, now violates his grave
by claiming political kinship. He
trades on Eoosevelt's known popular
ity in the West to make his audiences
believe that it was in response to the
agitation of himself "and Roosevelt
that this convention was called and
that it inaugurated the Roosevelt re-
forms into it.
He should be arrested for SANDER

is supposed to have been passed that
the pepole of Ohio defeated him for
reelection by $4,000 votes, and this
in spite of the fact that the Repub-
lican party was split by Progressive
ticket headed by Garfield for gov
ernor.
It would have been interesting, too,
to have heard Mr.. Cox gvie his reason
for the ingratitude of the people of
Ohio, right after all this evidence of
progress" on his part, to the extent
that this same year that they repudi-
ated him by $4,000 they elected
Harding United States senator by a
plurality of 1O2,373, in spite of the
fact that the Progressives 1aso had a
candidatet who drew $1,000 votes.
1t would have been too much,
though, to expect Mr.. Cox to give any
attention to facts. AS the editor of
sensationally yellow papers, he and
facts are not even on speaking terms.

THE CoCKsAHooP CANDIDATE

Corvallis Gazette Times)
In his San Diego address, Candi-
date Cox said that if Senator New
berry had been ousted as he should
have been, that the league of nations
would have been adopted. To any in
formed reader this statement would
react with establishment Immediately
succeeded by disgust that candidate
for so important an Office could so
prostitute his allegiance by uttering
the numerous deliberate lies that
Candidate Cox promulgates. The
vote on the league shows that never
at any time was there even major
ity of the senate for the Wilson COW
enant, whereas, as Cox knows, if he
knows anything, it requires two
thirds to adopt treaty. AS matter
of record, too, twenty-six Democrats
voted for reservations and twenty
one voted against them. Wilson had
just twenty-one rubber stamps among
the forty-seven Democratic senator's.
There is no stretch of the magma
ton that could be violent enough to
lead any one but a careless profes-
sional liar like Cox to state chad one
Republican been ousted" that the
treaty would have been approved.
How a self-respecting Democrat can
stand for a candidate who deliberate
ly and continually lies as Cox is do
ing, is past comprehension.
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1920-10-14

ing the dead.
The facts are that the speech of
Roosevelt that Cox refers to as stir
ring up Ohio so that Cox was able to
get his constitutional convention that
the law required to be called, was not
made before the convention met at
all, but was made in the convention
itself. T. R. was there at the invita-
ton of the delegates expressed
through their chairman by resolution.
Cox himself never addressed the con-
vention and was not even a delegate.
Another sample of the Cox bluff
he takes credit in labor communities
for the workmen's compensation act.
Cox had absolutely nothing to do with
it. This act is known in Ohio as Har-
mons labor bill, or the Norris bill,
and Governor Harmon is universally
given the credit for it. The falsity
of the Cox claim was exposed the
other day by Percy Tentlow, former
vice president of the Ohio Federation
of Labor, when he wired the Califor-
MIA federation information to the eff
feet that Cox had absolutely nothing
to do with this measure in any way,
directly Or indirectly; that it was
passed by a Republican legislature as
the result of a recommendation of a
commission appointed by a previous
Republican legislature. Cox was not
even a member of the legislature, and
the bill was approved by Governor
Harmon about the time Cox was ad-
vocating in congress government
ownership of all public utilities.
And so an expose of all the Cox
claims as a progressive might be
made. About the most progressive"
piece of legislation Cox is responsible
for was a law abolishing the election
of tax assessors and their appoint
ment by the governor. This enabled
him to have thousands Of political ap-
pointees in Ohio and build up polit-
zeal machine in every precinct.
In the same way he looted the state
bank department for political pur-
poses, and, like that other progress
sive'' Democrat whom he hopes to
succeed, his chief claim to fame is an
increase in taxes. Under Cox taxes
in Ohio jumped from $1O,000,000 a
year to $27,O0O,O0O year. That,
we concede, is some progress.
Mr.. Cox speaks of his business
administration" Mr.. Cox should con-
suit the figures announced a week Or
so ago by the Democratic head of the
census bureau which show that in the
past year thirty-one of the forty
eight states in the union took in more
money than they paid out. Ohio was
included in the list of those that did
not. In passing, it may be of interest
to note that majority of the thirty
one which did have Republican gov
ernors, too.
Somebody in his Portland audience
asked Governor Cox about prohibi-
ton, and he evaded the issue. 1t
would have been more to the point,
we think, to have asked him at the
close of his eulogy to himself as q
progressive why it was that the years
after all this progressive legislation
