"He leaves no one to mistake his

The baltimore Sun (Dcmovcratic)

speech yesterday:
"If the Cox speech, minus its refer
ences to the peace treaty and a few
other paragraphs had been given out
two weeks ago as a production OF
Mr.. Harding's no one would have been
surprised. Those radicals who argue
that the two old parties are so much
alike that there is no choice between
them will find in these two speeches
much to support their point of view.
"The real question apparent from the
consideration of the League Of Ma
tions which the voters OF the country
must ask themselves is not which
party and which candidate makes the
best promises, but which party and
which candidate is most likely best
to fulfill its promises"
The New York World (Democrat)---
Governor Cox has met the issue of
the campaign and has met it boldly
and directly. 't
He is for the League of Nations--not
q league of nations that has no ex-
istence except in the minds Of parti-
san politicians-nota a mythical or in
tangible association of society of ma
tions which is without form and void.
He is for the league to which twenty
nine governments have already given
their adherence.
The governor does not insist that
the covenant must be accepted with
out interpretations.
The issue is clear. Governor Cox
is entitled to the support of all the
advocates Of the League OF Nations
and Senator Harding to all the oppo-
nents of the league.

/. FLAY ADDRESS,
Editorial Writers Throughout
! Country Differ Strongly on
/ Nominees Stand.

Accepting Governor Cox's stand on
the League of Nations as the main
issue OF the coming campaign, news
papers throughout the United States
today devoted most OF their editorial
comment to that phase Of the address
delivered yesterday at Dayton.
Below arc printed the editorial ex-
pressions of the principal newspapers
which commented on the speech to-
day:
menting editorially on Governor Coxs
acceptance speech, says: 1T breathes
the same militant spirit that charac-
terized the great document that was
given the country at San Francisco,
and gives new evidence that the
democracy OF the nation has a mill
tant, constructive candidate who Is
in thorough harmony with the for
ward-looking, constructive policies OF
the platform, and who can be de-
pended upon to carry forward the
offensive with unceasing vigor."

The Governor does not tie himselm

The dominant note of the speech Of
acceptance Of Governor Cox is one Of
leadership. The impression grows as
zone reads that here is another leader
of the Andrew Jackson, Theodore

of confidence in hts country, his
cause, and in himself If he is elect
