The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-01

I hunks can be easily secured. It iswell for the democrats thatt they have as their candidate a man of in- sight, who could unearth at the start the wicked plans of their opponents. The republicans set out to carry the election with huge capaign fund. But the exposure came in time to make their scheme futile.
 The dcocrats will conduct an honest campaign. The old saying that money talks" will avail little this lyear as regards the electorate. Ev- cry enlightened voter--every honest man and every fair-minded woman will make such an outcry against the poodle machine that the most au- dacious republican committeeman will feel himself rather baked. This is not a year when the foremost office in America can be purchased.
 Cox is an ideal candidate. He stands lfoursquare to the wind on every dem- ocratic issue. And common honesty is one of them. Everything points to a landslide victory for democracy. After escaping unhurt from rail- road wreck, the Prince of Wales said he was glad his whisky flask wasn't broken. That sort of levity will make American reformers think the young mans education has been sadly neg lected.
