When Gov. Cox began to bemoan the
tact that campaign contributors were
bsstowing more money on Senator Har-
ding than on him he overlooked the
efforts of his most ardent and most
generous supporters. For some reason
or other, Gov. Cox forgot to mention the
fact that organized labor in America
has contributed between $4,000 and
100000 to his campaign, and that the
American Federation Of Labor and the
Plumb Plan League have sent out hun
drsds OF volunteer and salaried workers
to corral the workingman's vote for Cox
ana Roosevelt.
When George White, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, and
Gov. Cox were lamenting their poverty.
and insisting that there must be some
thing crooked within the opposition be-
cause the latter had more generous
friends. 100000 railroad workers were
contributing to great fund to defeat
Senator Harding and elect Gov Cox
because they had been given to under
stand that this was q sure way Of ac-
complishing the repeal of the labor
clauses In the ,Esch-Cummins railroad
Law.
At the same time Samuel Gompers's
bipartisan committee" OF the A. f.
OF 4. was PROSECUTING In forty-five of the
forty-eight States. calling upon every
state federation of labor to set aside so
much for the Cox for President" fund.
Nearly all of the 1900 central labor
unions that are subsidiaries of these
State declarations received the same call.
Every State federation was told that 1t
was not to contribute to any central
national fund, but to spend or direct
the spending Of its own money In its
own State. Every State federation was
given a list OF Representatives, Senators
ana local ofiiceholders who had incurred
the displeasure of Mr.. Gompers. These
mon were to be defeated for reelection

said that II looked suspiciously like the

neighborhood gatherings, IN social clubs
for women and In all organizations
where working women are likely to as

gone about addressing noontime meet

where women are employed.

expensive campaign that labor has con-

he has not been unaware OF this, and,
despite his public avowals of financial
restitution. not without cognizance of the
fact that this great amount of money
has been spent by labor to cram him
into the White House.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, and the
only member Of the Executive Council OF
that organization to confess publicly
that he approves of the Plumb plan, is
now campaigning New York State in a
sincere effort to defeat Senator Wads-
worth. Here and there a labor leader
who is not to be moved by the Cox
Boosters makes open declaration Of his
Republican affiliations. For instance,
William L. Hutchinson. head of the In

Joiners. has announced himself for
Harding and Coolidge and has gone SO
far as to warn Gompers that the latter
had better refrain from talking politics

Gov Cox's attack was the second COM
plant from the Democratic national
camp yesterday against the use OF car
toons unfavorable to the Democratic
cause. The Democratic National Com
mittee made public letter from Allan
A. Ryan. who recently gained notoriety
as breaker Of the Stutz motor stock
Corner in Wall Street. enclosing
check for $4,000 for the Cox campaign
to be used TO expose "sacrilegious"
methods employed by the Republicans
through the medium OF Harvey's
Weekly.
Ryan Attacks Harvey.
Mr.. Ryan's letter explains his griev-
ance as follows:
"On page 81 OF this sheet (Haryey's

ously caricatured. standing on a ladder

Harvey as suitable for political car
toon. II represents Uncle Sam as the

above him are printed these words:
