EN- ROUTE WITH GOV. cox, Grand
Forks, n. D., Sept. well pleased with
the response in Minnesota to his attack
On ''reactionary leadership of the repub-
ltcan party" Gov. Cox entered the Da.
kotas today, determined to continue ths
use Of Roosevelt methods.
His first address was at Grand Forks
The democratic nominee, taking no cog
nizance Of charges that he is conducting
an undignihed campaign, insists upon
talking to people in plain English.
Gov. Cox, convinced that his fight is
one Of progress against reaction, is max
ing his appeal to this section of the
country in language highly reminiscent
Of the 1T. R." type Of campaign out here.
He reiterates on every occasion
the story Of his fight in Ohio for
constitutional reform in which he says,
as leader Of the progressive element, he
was opposed at every turn by Warren G.

DIRECTS ATTENTION TO
STORAGE REGULATION.
Taxing advantage of the failure Of the
republican congress to act on the cold
storage regulation recommended mors
than a year ago by President Wilson
and sponsored by Senator Kenyon Of
Iowa, progressive republican. Gov. Cox
is directing attention to the food
producing sections Of the northwest
to the need Of such a law and to ths
antagonism Of the forces Of reaction in
the senate TO its passage.
He says the manipulation Of cold
storage facilities by prohteers in food
stuHs nullites the law of supply and
demand and operates to the disadvan-
tAge Of both producer and consumer.
Gov. Cox is not overlooking the fact
tnat North Dakota is the home Of Sena-
tor Gronna, who, as chairman Of tha
senate committee on agriculture, made a
long but vain fight against the opposi-
tlcn OF republican leaders to obtain con-
sideration of the Kenyon -Kendric1S

Industry would be under federal super
vision and the big FIVE" packers divorced
from control Of the stockyards ana ne
frigerator car service.

the governor said
Cox said Harding's appeal to put the
good features OF the league Of nations
into revived Hague tribunal was Ike
trying to hitch up 8 Ford sutomob!le
and a North Dakota OK.
The response to his declaration In St
Paul in favor of self determination for
subject races with nationalist aspirations
and his promise that the cause of ireland
would be aided through the broad guar
antees of article II of the league of na-
tions covenant, encouraged Gov. Cox to
restatement Of that principle in his
speeches here.

paign was getting too rough. Cox told
Minneapolis crowds last night that the
republicans have started "squealing' un-
der his attack.

sick man when he was down. Cox said
referring TO the president.
Cox was closely watching the resump-
tion of the senate campaign expenditures
committee in Chicago today and charged
the republicans put several hundred paid
money diggers" into the field, including
sixty travelling representatives.

speakers
In response to a heckler last nigat.
the candidate declared for self-deterrsi-
nation, saying 1t was one of the main
principles OF the league of nations.
