"GOd In everything, sdHS a"e w."
And this does not even exclude t"e
campaign speeches of Governor Cox.
Az a result of Mr.. COx's allegations
of big Republican Campaign Cor
ruptIon Fund, certain definite facts
have been demonstrated by the sworn
testimony Of the leaders Of Governor
Cox's own party. They may be sum-
married. as follows:
It, has been demonstrated tn"'
whereas, in their most sangu.he
moods. the Republican managers never
contemplated campaign fund VI
more than $4OOOOOO. the Democratic
party, at an expense Of One-half NIL
lion dollars, set up the machinery for
the collection Of y campaign fund OF
$1O.OOOCOO.
II has been demonstrated that the
contemplated $lO.OO0.OOO fund OF the
Democrats didgnOt materiaiiZe for the
sole reason that there aren't SUI
ticient number Of pain people IN t"e
United States who want continuance
of Democratic rule. to contribute ever
one-tenth Of $4,000 OO.
II has been demonstrated fhat
whereas. the great body OF the PEG
ple-lIteraily thousands Of them-
have willingly contributed from ~
cents 10 $1,000 TO he rid Of the presen
Democratic administration. and to de
feat Governor Cox: on the other nam
not thousands and not even hundred
are willing 10 contribute cents to
ward continuance Of wisconsin.
What Records Show.
II has been shown by sworn record
that whereas. In despite of MIR. Cox
outraged feelings over the disposition
of thousands Of ordinary Americas cit'
zens to help pay the expenses OF de
feating him in his campaign Tor th'
presidency, Mr.. Cox in 1914 viewed
with cOmplacency the criminal efforts
of his campaign managers In Ohio Il
extOrt from the Civil Service em
nlovppS Of the state contributions IN
tended to further his personal pOIiti'
cal fortunes II has been shown n.y.
the testimony Of Mr.. COx's own cam
paign managers that the $4,WIO.OW
which the Republican managers nope
to raise for all political purposes this
wear is not more than can legitimatel!
he expended for this purpose, and thaI
these frank Democratic managers
would also like to have similar
amount, but don't see any way OF get
ring 1t.
II has been shown that the common
ordinary rank and file Of he American
peOple. for the first time in American
notifies. are ready to contribute ONT Of
their own pockets TO defeat candida
cy which represents all that IL repug
nant and hostile to American tnstitu
lions, and that this willingness or the
American people to contribute to the
exDense Of defeating the Democracy
Ia the sole basis Of Governor COxf
charge Of a conspiracy TO buy the gov
eminent Of the United States. lnc''
dentally II required the candidacy 0i
Governor Cox to introduce into ma
tional campaign the doctrine that u
is possible for the people OF the United
States to buy their own government
unless Mr.. Cox unCOnSciOuSly means
to convey the idea that in this cam
paign the people are to buy hack the'i
government from the autOcracy which
has seized It and refuses to let 70.
Finally It has been ronclus'vely dem
onstrated that IL the Democratic party
is to secure any money to waste In
vain effort to achieve Democratic
victory that money must come exclu
sively from men of the Colonel Deeds
tyne and the Dayton aircraft Plurder
bund. and from the Wall street inter
national financiers who alone vii
profit through the participation Of tn
United States In Wilson's League o
Nations.
All Of these conclusions have beeI
demonstrated by sworn testimony be
fore the Senate Committee with
mathematical precision which wOul'
have met the enthusiastic appreciation
of the late Mr. Euclid. Governor Cox
great expose has petered out. 1t wa
q false alarm.
