Cox VIII Take Up Wilson's Banner
His Motto SENS to Be "America Last
"You said you'd tell US some more
about our next Vice President this
week." said Jack after he had succeed
ed in getting Uncle Ted to put down a
book he was reading.
YES, Jack, l was going to continue
with that story but since that time
Governor Cox has made his long
speech of acceptance as the Demo-
cratic nominee and | must tell you
something about what he says he
stand for and what he would do as
President"
when did he make his speech?"
asked Ruth.
"He spoke on Saturday, August z,
at Dayton, Ohio, after long parade
and a speech by Senator Robinson.
Everything was staged like a theat-
rical performance, but they had the
people worn out before Cox even be-
gan to talk. His speech was so long
that / could not possibly tell you all
he said tonight, but will pick out the
main parts and show you just where
he stands. In the very first place, just
as I told you after Cox had his talk
at the White House with President
Wilson, he will fight for the world
club We thought so then and we
know it now. Governor Cox has NO
new or original ideas, but is simply
content to follow in the footsteps OF
the man now in the White House. He
is ready, should he be elected, to take
I'D where Mr.. Wilson leaves off and
make every effort to tie this country
to the world club"
did he really say so?" asked Jack
"He certainly did. Listen to this
from his speech President Wilson
GU RI representative at the peace table
entered the league in our name, in sc
far as the executive authority permit
ted. Senator Harding, as the Republic
can candidate for the Presidency, pro-
poses that we remain out of tick; tffi ).
poses In plain words that we remain
out of it. AS the Democratic candidate
favor going in Let us see what that
means, kiddies. He speaks of Presi-
dent Wilson as our representative at
the peace table. He was our represen-
tative only because he appointed him
self to go, and the first time Presi-
dent has left the country to take up
foreign business when there were
thousands of things to be done right
here at home. Mr.. Cox, then, says that
Mr. Wilson entered the world club in
our name as far as he could He did
that, all right, and even went further
by trying to force the United States
Senate to complete our entry. He can
tinues that Senator Harding says in
plain words that we should stay out
He is right there for Senator Harding
cares more for the growth of the
United States; he cares more for the
lives of our American boys and for the
taxpayers money than he does for
mixing with the affairs of every coun-
try on the globe. Mr.. Cox's last SEN
tence shows that he favors going in
the world club"
ugh! That's awful" exclaimed
Ruth,
Eyes, Ruth, you realize better than
many grown people the fact that the
World Club is a club of war and not 6
club of peace. You have listened ant
have learned for about year the
many, many bad things about this clut
plan. But before election day most o.
voters of this country will realize tina
the best wcy to keep this country II
continual trouble; the best way t.
spend our money on European coun
tries and, kill our boys on European
soil Is to vote for James NJ Cox, JUS
