 My feeling with reference to the ne- cessity of securing an understanding which will make sure the adoption of the ! Versailles treaty." the governor -contin- ued, is made stronger by my apprecia- ton that the country is facing-and in- deed, that the country is already in an industrial crisis-a crisis which we must meet irrespective of party and with the 1 pest executive ability the country af- lords.
 Republican politicians are telling the people that business conditions can only be improved by the election of the re- actionary candidate If he is elected. the rejection of the league will be assured; i; with that rejection, disarmament will be Impossible; military and naval competi- ton between the nations will have to continue; international credit cannot be restored; exports will cotinue to fall off in volume, and the world will be indeed fortunate if it is not visited with gigantic financial panic in it's every quar- ter. So that it would be much nearer to the truth to say that the way to avoid business depression is to enter the A|Ch3 dC VI ANdtiOlio- ftflu then, when Flu rope is again able to buy our products, agricultural, which she needs so badly, in order to recover from the waste of years of war, America will have an era of prosperity the like of which we have not yet seen"
 Blame for business recession, which the governor said began coincident with the anti-league plot of the senatorial oIi- garchy," cannot be placed against the present administration But for the partisan conspiracy" the candidate said, 'stabilizaton of European finances and industry would by this time have reached tfat point where it would have been pos sible and easy for them to procure neces- sary credit by means of the investment market. Then the markets Of rurope would have been open to the farmers and the small manufacturers throughout the country. Instead, the situation has grown worse and worse. Demand for farm prod- ucts has fallen off, and in all sections of the country which have visited utter stagnation is apparent in the agricultural communities Many manufacturers have been compelled to curtail operations by reason of lack of orders.''

Scores of other spectators were standing The auditorium was strung from the rafters lswith flags and bunting, between which hung pictures of the candidate. Larger Autographs of the governor and his rum ming mate also were used. On the boxes were placards reading NKeep faith with our dead,' and other campaign slo- gans.
 On the stage was an array of demo- cratic notables, including national and state organization officers, former serv- ice men, both white and colored, and many visitors from other states. On his way to the Garden, the governor viewed a patriotic spectacle a large theatre. He was cheered by many who recOg- nized him in the semi-darkness of the theatre, but made no address.
 President Wilson sent the governor telegram regretting his inability to be present.
 During the demonstration greeting the candidate, Mrs. Cox was escorted down to the center aisle and to the speakers stand. The governor took her by the hand and the applause was given fresh spurt.

 While waiting for the candidate. the crowd heard addresses by Rabbi Stephen S, Wise, James M. Curey, former mayor of Boston, and Nathan l.. Strauss. The

 WANTS SMITH RETURNED
 In opening his address, Governor Cox urged support for Governor Simth of New York, asking that "the peddler boy of New York City be returned to the governors chair,
 Turning immediately to the league is- sue, Governor Cox pleaded that the
 peace won by our soldier boys be not destroyed by a senatorial cabal. This and his usual offer to answer any league questions were applauded warmly, as was his tribute to Governor Smith.
 There was prolonged applause. with hundreds standing and cheering, when the governor declared that President Wilson was "as much wounded soldier as any soldier" The governor told of his visit to the President, whom, he said presented the saddest picture in all the history of the world.
 During recital by the speaker of the leagues genesis and it's submission" tor suggestions to former President Taft and Elihu Root, there were misses from many quarters for the names of the two republicans.
