"God in everything" sang the post
And this does not even exclude the
campaign speeches of Governor Cox.
As ahresuit of Mr.. Cox's allegations
Of a big Republican Campaign Cor
ruption Fund, certain definite facts
have been demonstrated by the sworn
testimony of the leaders Of Governor
Cox's own party. They may bs sum
married. as follows:
1t has been demonstrated that
whereas, in their most sanguine
moods the Republican managers never
contemplated a campaign fund Of
more than $4,OOO,0OO, the Democratic
party, at an expense Of one-half mil
lion dollars, set up the machinery for
the collection of q campaign fund Of
$4,000, 900.
It has been demonstrated that the
contemplated $1O.O00.0OO fund Of the
Democrats did not materialize for the
sole reason that there aren't a suf-
acient number Of plain people in the
United States who want continuance
Of Democratic rule, to contribute even
one-tenth Of $10,OO0,O0O.
It has been demonstrated that
whereas, the great body Of the peo-
ple-literally thousands Of them
have willingly contributed from 50
cents to $1,000 to be rid Of the present
Democratic administration. and to de-
feat Governor Cox; on the other hand
not thousands and not even hundreds
are willing to contribute 8 cents to
ward a cqptinuance Of Wilsonism,
What Records Chow.
It has been shown by sworn records
that whereas. In despite Of Mr.. Cox's
outraged feelings over the disposition
Of thousands Of ordinary American citi-
zens to help pay the expenses Of de-
feating him in his campaign for the
presidency, Mr.. Cox In 1914 viewed
with complacency the criminal efforts
Of his campaign managers In Ohis to
sxtort from the Civil Service en-
ployees Of the state contributions In
tended to further bis personal politi-
cal fortunes. It has been shown BY
the testimony Of Mr.. Cox's own cam
paign managers that the 100000
which the Republican managers hope
to raise for all political purposes this
year II not more than can legitimately
b expended for this purpose, and that
these frank Democratic managers
would also like to have q similar
amount, but don't see any way of get
ting It.
It has been shown that the common,
ordinary rank and file Of the American
people, for the flrst time In American
politics. are ready to contribute out Of
their swn pockets to defeat a candida.

All Of these conclusions have been
demonstrated BY sworn testimony be-

mathematical precision which would
