To Buy Reserved Seat.
At Kenosha, Gov, Cox again fayed
special interests" which he said were
trying TO buy a reserved seat In gov
'They are trying to buy it with money
already contributed to the republican
campaign fund" said the candidate,
"and with money they will continue to
contribute"
Gov. Cox declared himself the cham
pion of progress and referred to Wis
consin as the first progressive state"
adding that many progressive reforms
in Ohio had been patterned after Wis
consin's.
Though recognizing that a strong
prejudice against ratification of the
league covenant exists In Wisconsin,
ton with no less than four lines Of
argument. which he believes will prove
very effective. He will in no way at
tempt to avoid the issue, for he believes
practically all the apparent opposition
to the league among the rank and file
OF the voters Is based either upon a
misunderstanding of the td,ms OF the
covenant or disgust with the prolonged
and complicated discussion with which
II has been surrounded.
His Four Arguments.
First-He win emphasize his charge
that the senatorial ollgarchy'' in OPP
posing ratification has prevented the
liking of German indemnity and Is rec
sponsible for the terrible conditions
prevailing in Germany and Austria
today.
Second-He will contend that the
Lodge group In the senate has. DELHI
erately stirred up racial prejudice by
its bitter attacks on the administra
tion's policies, and will charge that the
bitter antagonism of some Germans
aroused by its insinuation that treaty
conditions would have made 1t easier
for Germany but for the attitude OF
President Wilson at Paris.
Third-He will reiterate his definition
OF what constitutes American citizen
ship. quoting from his speech In South
Bend. Ind, In which he said that many
loyal citizens of German extraction had
suffered during the war because of pre-
vailing prejudice against their Teuton
not blood or names, the governor holds,
Is the real test of true citizenship.
Fourth-The governor hopes to ap-
peal to the younger men of Wisconsin.
with the. contention that he has dem
onstrated his progressivism by six
and that Senator Harding's record is
reactionary. He believes Wisconsin is
essentially progressive state, and
will endeavor to show that he is the
real successor of Theodore Roosevelt.
Counts On Women's Vote.
In addition, Governor Cox puts great
store by the women of Wisconsin. The
mothers of America, regardless OF geo.
graphical location, he insists are for
the league of nations, and he believes
the political complexion Of many states
VIII be changed by the woman vote
Governor Cox was much pleased by
the reception given his speeches In
Michigan yesterday.
