U. c. T. Send Telegram to National
Organization Asking Invcstiea-

Members of the United Commercial
Travellers of Richmond are up in
arms over what Is termed subtle
piece of propaganda and the attempt
cd use of the organization. which is
nonpolitic3l, to further political as
pirations OF the Republican party
through an alleged Islander OF Cover
nor Cox. presidential candidate.
In some manner. Richmond mem

statesmen, and has forwarded each of
It's subscribers copy of an editorial
which. the Republicans claim. Cox
wrote during the time he was editor
OF an Ohio newspaper.
In the editorial in question uncom-
plimentary statements nbout tho
travelling man in general are said to
have been made, and the 'muit:farious
agent" who has for sale every de-
vice under the SUM-" is said TO have
been panned by the writer:
Ask an Investigation.
Officials of the United Commercial
travellers here last week sent a teie-
gram to headquarters of the orEani-
zation, demanding to know by whose
authority the mailing list of the or
ganization was given To a political
organization for furt hcrance of the
ends of the G. y. L. The answer was
, TO me elect that copy OF the list
IN the circular sent with the copy
OF the editorial is an appeal to the
travelling statesmen of the country TO
pull together for the success OF the
men anu the party that stand for
AmericaniSm and who appreciate
what the true relation of the travel
ing man is to American business"
Charger Found False.
FURTHER investigation by the Rich
mond post has led to the discovery
that Governor Cox did not write the
editorial attributed to him. While
the present Governor of Ohio was on
a vacation. another member OF the
stan OF the paper was in charge. and
II was during this period that the al
ieseu editorial was printed. On re-
turning, Governor Cox not only or
dered an apology printed. but had the
man who wrote II discharged.
Members of the association here
are doing all In their power to trace
down the man who has attempted to
make the organization an aid to Re-
publican propaganda and have asked
an investigation by the national or
Eanization.
