GOVERNOR COX HITS
AT REACTIONARlES
Four Large Audiences Greet Demo-
cratic Leader-Talks to Fellow
Editors-Argues for League.

Los Angeles, Sept. 21.-As an edi-
tor to his fellow editors, Governor
Cox opened his days activity today
with a brief talk on the problems OF
his craft, delivered at the chamber
of commerce rooms here to the South
ern California Editorial Association.
The Governor spoke in a friendly and
intimate way and said that he would
not touch on political questions. q
have plenty of chances to do that
every day." he said.
Following the talk to the editors,
the Governor went by automobile to
Long Beach, where he was awaited by
an audience that overflowed the mu-
nicipal auditorium.
Governor Cox opened by addressing
directly a large group of civil war
veterans at the local post and from a
nearby veterans home. After re-
peating some anecdotes of the war
he turned to the story of Americas
first entrance into the world war.
The Governor again discussed his
stand against "reactionaries", ex'
pressed his belief for need Of ideals
in government, and discussed Demo
cratic problems that he said had re-
suited from reactionary government
Turning to the league Of nations
covenant the Governor said that while
perhaps it needed refining, yet ne up
held it and presented arguments to
support his view.
Touching on prohibition, the Govern
or said again that the liquor question
was "as dead as slavery.
Turning to reclamation problems
the speaker said he was coming back
to California during his first term
with the message that the $40, 100000
it formerly cost to build battleshlp
could be used to reclaim 100000
acres of arid land.
From Long Beach, the Governor re-
turned here, going to an auditorium
where an audience of several thou
sand women greeted him.
The Governor said he would "get
down to business" without delay and
began a discussion of his views on the
league of nations, repeating the argu-
ments he had advanced here last night
and at long beach this morning. After
his fourth address of the day the can
didate left for a theatre, where mem
bers of the City club and the Ad club
were assembled to hear him. His
schedule had become disarranged by
the length of his Long Beach speech,
and by the time he reached the theatre
his prospective audience had given up
hope of his arrival and dispersed, SO
with very brief delay he again took
an automobile for the farm and trac-
tor show at Glendale near here. He
was to speak there briefly and return
to take a train for San Bernardino
and therce east at $3.50 a. m, instead
of the originally scheduled hour OF
2 o'clock.
