Big Western Drive.
Washington, Aug. 30.-Definite
preference for Governor Cox over
Senator Harding Is shown in the
pointed conclusions presented by the
non-partisan political campaign COM
mittee of the American Federation Of
Labor just made public.
The committee report of actions
and declarations of the two candi-
dates, prepared by President Com
pers, Vice President Woll and Sec
rotary Morrison. practically "goes the
limit" in it's Endorsement.
Cox with Labor.
The votes by Cox in the gid con-
'gress are recorded as favorable to
labor with none against. The great
est emphasis is placed on his rec
ord as governor Of Ohio, when ac-
cording to the report by the Ohio
Federation Of Labor, in connection
with So labor measures, not an adj
verse action is shown.
The federation quotes utterances
by Harding as fac back as 1918 to
emphasize the attitude of the COM
mittee against the republican can
rdidate.
Cox's record is summarized as
record Of fidelity to humanity, q
understanding Of the needs of the
great masses of the people that has
few equals in American political
life"
No statement is given summarize
ing Hardings record, but the labor
federation opposes many Of his ac-
'tions on labor.

New York. Aug. 30.-Governor Cox,
An leaving New York, says that his
campaign organization is now in the
best shape it has BEEN.
Perhaps no better estimonial of the
Governors success in this cement
Ing" work could be afforded than the
strong appeal for united and mill
tant party offensive embodied in w.
&c. McAdoo's speech Saturday at
luncheon in Cox's honor.
There are two main reasons for
expecting a vastly more active DEM
ocratic campaign from now on. The
first is that the Wilson, McAdoo wing
of the party, is now convinced that
to win, and win on issues that thine
administration has stood for. The
second is the growing belief that Cox,
has proved himself capable of meet
ing the situation and has better
chance to win than they had thought
possible.
Cox approaches his big western
drive with the alleged republican
ssiush fund in hand as one of the
foremost weapons he hopes to use.
He is going out into territory where
his big objective is progressive
votes.
Cox will answer Senator Hard
ing's proposal for new international
arrangement. AS he looks at it he
has forced the republicans by his
militant tactics to assume defens-
i've attitude now on the two issues
he has set forth as the leading ones
in his campaign-the money issue
and the league issue. He will con-
tinue to pound on both, as he says,
until the Ides of November"
Gov. Cox renewed his assaults on
sshe republican campaign fund today

Gets Big Reception.
Governor Cox was given a rousing
reception as he marched down Fifth
avenue from the Democratic club to
the Commodore at the head of a mile
long parade Of shouting and cheering
democrats He waved his hat in re-
Spouse to the cheers. A police escort
of 100 men and the police band &C.
~companied the parade.
paign started with an organization
that swept the county and reached
into every state and county, Cox told
his audience, when open relation
with big business became an affair Of
partisan pride, then it became appar-
-ent to all that group which has run
away with the affairs of the republic
the idealism of it's historic days, has
simply gone mad.
'They turned it into the campaign
believing it would be what they des-
ignated as a sure thing. Large sums
of money were procured in order to
start up racial groups and to keep
alive emotions aroused by the war.
Instead of helping to allay the af-
fairs of a world civilization, they
sought to bring confusion into the
communities of America-ro multiply
in short the woes of mankind, and
charge it all to The administration in
power in order that the spoils of Of
flee might be gained"

Public opinion has always settled in
