 Cox's Statement
 Cox's statement follows:
 I recognize the eagerness of the htlemen of the press who are as- ned here to develop news copy ly. I have no disposition to dis rage that enterprise, but at the outset it is we'll that we have understanding of very funda- hal phase of the persent situation. Senator Harding has made two mite announcements; that he pur- les to hark back to the days of 30 rs ago, and that he will make of front porch listening post. This ms that he will be as far removed m the running current of progres-
 thought as the senate oligarchy Lodge and Penrose and Shoot has h removed from the heartbeats of
 American people for more than a 5.
 My campaign will be dedicated to task of bringing peace with honor, Eeadjusting the affairs of civlllza-
 and of creating a new day out Ehich we will make the best lessons the past. Therefore, things that
 senator believes vital and pertl- from his isolated prospective,
 not in all probability be so re- hed by me. His last statement IS
 reiteration of what has been
 in the senate time after time, so
 if this campaign on the one hand elops into more morning sessions the senate, you will very readily eeive the uselessness of daily re- 0ca
