Claims Harding Adopts
a Backward Policy
While Cox Is Going
Forward.
Advises Every American
Worker to Strive Ard
emily for the Defeat
of c. 0. P.

Washington, Sept. 26.-By
The Associated Press) Writing
in the American Federationist
under Normally VS.. Progress, "
Samuel Gompers says Senator
Harding has summed up his po-
sition as in favor of going back
ward while Governor Cox has
declared for going forward"
Mr.. Gompers also says that the Re-
publican national convention in adopting
it's platform turned its back on labor
and declares that every American work
er, every earnest American citizen must
strive ardently for the defeat of those
who turned their backs upon labor and
upon the people generally
The two leading candidates have de-
fined clearly their attitude toward the
great public issues says Mr.. Gompers'
article. In a sentence each has summed
up his position
In effect, Senator Harding says let
US return to normalcy.'
Governor Cox says, I am for pro-
gress,'
Senator Harding does not use the
word normal He speaks Of normaicy.'
The word is obsolete and so is the con-
dition to which he would return.
"Unquestionably, in the mind of SEN
ator Harding return TO normal means
return to the conditions that existed
before the War--a return to something
past. It is clear then that in keeping
with the spirit of the Republican plat
is to follow a course that leads back
ward, and if elected to lead the nation in
such a course.
Governor Cox proclaims a desire to
GO forward and determination to lead
the nation III a forward course if he is
elected
The platforms of the parties upon
which these conditions stand lead newt
ably and naturally up TO the conclusions
found in those two brief utterances
THE denial of any desire on the part
of the people TO 20 backward to any
thing that is past has been found in
practically every public expression which
the people have been able to make in
recent months
Mr., Gompers then reviews the results
of recent primaries and continues:
The interest Of the great masses can
best be served only by the election of the
candidate whose declarations and whose
record offer the best assurance of intc.li-
gence and integrity in the future
1T is vital that there be success for
the candidate and the platform which
best understands the needs Of the peonle
and which most fully and most honestly
pledges their satisfaction.
The Republican convention turned its
back upon labor and in so doing turned
it's back upon all Of our people except
for that small minority which finds its
occupation in the exploitation of the
masses.
Every American worker, every earn
est American citizen devoted TO the cause
Of human progress must strive ardently
for the defeat of those who have turned
their backs upon labor and upon the
people generally and for the success of
those who have attempted to meet with
and in a spirit of CON
structive progress the problems of the
needs of the working people and Of the
great masses of all our people"
