Uncle Ted's Bedtime Stories
Cox VIII Fight For World Club Plan

"But Johnny says he is not ex-
claimed Jack in a very excited man
ner, "and he ought 10 know because
his father is a big Democrat
whats all the excitement asked
Uncle Ted who just aNoke to the
fact that the argument OF two red
blooded American boys was getting
a little too warm.
Jack spoke up. TON says thet
President Wilson is still the leader
OF the Democratic party and that
Governor Cox will have TO do just
as he wants him TO and Johnny says
that isn't So"
I'm afraid" interrupted Uncle Ted
that Tom Is right and Johnny very
much wrong. III tell you klddies
all about II II youll be good
"Oh, Goodyr exclaimed Ruth who
is always ready for a story.
The Democrats must realize, al
though most Of them won't admit 10,
that the American people are very
much disgusted with the way in
which Mr. Wilson has run this gov
ernment. They want no more one
man government Wnd would never
send Mr. Wilson back 10 the White
House even II he were running again
and they will not elect any man
President who is dictated to or who
says he will follow the policies OF
Woodrow Wilson. Before Governor
Cox was nominated on the Democratic
ticket at san Francisco. he was not
a strong supporter OF the World Club
plan lie had said he was In favor
OF reservations 10 protect America
But he was nominated on ticket that
carries a platform that says Mr.. Will
son was right in his stand for the
World Club. Many people thought
even then he might see that the right
thing 10 do was not TO be too strong
for the club. Today there Is nc
doubt how he stands and how he
must stand.
ION Sunday, July IS, Governor Co,
was in Washington and had a tall

the President has been and is accord
ing to the reports from the Whit
. want TO see him about impOrtan
J matters connected with the welfar
OF the country. Aside from this fac
. this conference was very impOrtan
because II proves. beyond any shadoN
n Of doubt that Woodrow Wilson sti
o dictates what the Democratic part
shall do and that Governor Cox wi
simply be a tool In his hands, dOin
z whatever Mr.. Wilson tells him TO dt
Afler the conference was over bot
President Wilson and Governor Go

show that Governor Cox was con
plctely won over 10 support th
