Governor Cox added that he in
tended to pass the evidence to the
senate campaign investigating COM
mittee.
On the question of keeping secret
all local subscriptions Governor Cox
quoted from the official bulletin OF
August 16 as follows:
s'The names and amounts sub
scribed by local honors should not
be made public locally
Full Publicity Given.
"I hereby give it wide and nom
exclusive publicity" Governor Cox
continued. "Why were the names
Of local contributors not to be made
known? Was it because each con-
tribution would carry it's own mean
ing to the voters in the local COM
munities? Certainly there is some
reason. What is it? The public is
entitled to know.
eff Mr.. Hays and Mr.. Upham do
not come forward with the infornla-
ton the Republican national COM
mittee ought to remove them both.
Furthermore, there should be some
explanation of this being made pure
lv a business affair, participated IN
by business men and business men
only. Unexplained; it carries Its
own condemnation and exposes the
purpose of the whole shameful busl-
ness. It means that the quota is to
be assessed against those who are to
benefit, and that the captains of in
dustry who have answered MIR. Hays
roll call are submitting to taxation
with the understanding that they will
have representation
Quoting from a message" written
by Senator Harding, the Republican
nominee, in the Official Bulletin Of
August 5, Governor Cox said that
Senator Harding expressed his graft
tude for ''the enthusiasm shown" in
raising the campaign fund.
"That Mr.. Harding is acquainted
even with the details of the enter
prise is evidenced by subsequent
passage said Governor Cox, (which
is as follows:
Through the fine work of your
organization we are nearing that
form of political patriotism which ex-
presses itself in support from every
county, every state. want ali mem
bers of your organization to feel that
their efforts are essential to our sue
cess in planning for national en-
lightenment and deeply appreciated
by me. "
On Industrial Problems.
In addition to his statement on
Republican finance Governor Cox
touched upon industrial problems:
"The 'normalcy' voiced by their
candidate was visioned by his mas
ters," said Governor Cox in this con-
nection referring to Senator Harding
"as bayonets at the factory door, un-
restrained profteering at the gates
of the farm-the burden of govern
ment on shoulders other than their
own, and the federal reserve system
as an annex to big business. When
the American people fully grasp the
sinister menace hanging over them
they will shun it as plague"
Returning to the campaign fund
question Governor Cox reminded his
audience in order, he said, to reach
proper understanding that recent
contributions of large sums by busl-
ness interests began in the case OF
Senator Newberry of Michigan.
Senator. Newberry, the candidate
continued, was convicted in Repub-
lican state and community, before
Republican judge, grand and petit
iuries. zone would have thought, y
said the speaker, "that this expert
ence would have had its restraining
influence on certain events but the
resolve of certain interests to take
over the affairs Of our government
