BIG FUND-C0
Democratic Candidate Charges Re.
publican Budget Will Stagger
the Country.

Columbus, Ohio, July 21.-
Charges that the Republicans were
raising a campaign fund sufficient
to shock the sensibilities" were
made last night by Governor Cox.
Democratic presidential candidate,
in an address to the Democratic
national committee.
The Democrats, Governor Cox
said, will insist upon continuance
of the senatorial investigation OF
campaign collections and expendi-
lures and also will make frequent
and detailed accountings OF their
finances. The Democratic platform.
he said, is "a promissory note"
which will be paid in full, closing
his address with a prediction for a
November victory.
I'VE purpose to deal with emf
nent good faith with the electorate
with reference to platform
pledges" said Governor Cox. who
was cheered repeatedly.
To Publish Every Dollar.
I'VE mean to let every man and
woman understand where every
dollar comes from and for what
purpose it is spent. We not only
urge that as q matter OF high
principle, but in order to guaran-
tee the triumph of our cause.
I'VE do not want publication Of
expenditures after election. We
! want the voters to be fully advised
as to every circumstance OF the col
lection and expenditure Of funds in
order that they may understand
that when Democracy continues its
duty it assumes it without any OBJ
legation except the conscience God
gave US.
LET US make up a budget that
will carry the fullest details. rem

And more than that. We shall
insist on the senatorial COMMITTEES

DRAFT DODCER
SEIZED AFTER
2-YEAR SEARCH
Swrenders to Authorize,
Ends Long Interna-
tional Hunt.

New York, July 21.-Erwin r.
Bergdoll. younger half-brother Of
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, who
disappeared from his Philadelphia
home about two years ago, and
since then has been sought on
charges Of draft evasion, today
surrendered at Governors Island.
With Bergdoll when he surren-
dered was Judge James Roemig, Of
Philadelphia, a personal friend Of
the Bergdoll family, who himself is
under indictment in connection
with Growers escape.
Bergdoll, who surrendered to
Trial Judge Advocate Major VIII
liam F. Kelly, was Immediately
made a prisoner in Castle William.
Besides Judge Roemig, Bergdoll
was accompanied by his half
brother, Charles Braun. When the
trio entered the Judge advocates
Office, Judge Roemig said:
I'VE have Erwin Bergdoll, de-
sirous to surrender"
Bergdoll was Immediately taken
to prison.
A Noted Racer.
Both Braun and Judge Roemig de-
clined to say where they had met
young Bergdoll, but admitted that
they had come here from Philadel-
phia with him.
The career Of Erwin has been
almost as sensational as that ol
Grover. He was the most noted OF
the four Bergdoll brothers, as a
motor car racer, breaking record
in the 200-mile Fairmount park
race and rivaling DePalma as an
expert driver. Like Grover, he
was terror to motorists and
pedestrians.
Ends Long Hunt
Philadelphia, Pa, July 21.-The
surrender Of Erwin B. Bergdall
was no surprise to federal officials
here. They had been expecting il
for some months. He disappeared
in May, 1918, after failing to an,
swer a call for war service Thti
was year after Grover C. Berg
doll his. younger brother. and alss
q deserter from the army, fled.
The effort to capture the motor
ious draft evaders has led to Mex
ico, Canada and every section o.
the United States.

THIRD PARTY'S
CANDIDATE IN
PLEA FOR DEBS
Calls Upon Cox and Hard.
ing to Join Him to
Have Man Freed.

Denver. Colo, July 21.-Parley
?. Christensen. Farmer-Labor par
ty candidate for president, today
telegraphed to Senator Harding
Republican nominee, and Governor
Cox, Democratic candidate. sus-
gesting that all Join in a demand
upon President Wilson to immedi-
ately release Eugene v. Debs from
prison.
The text Of the message follows /:
i have been selected by the
Farmer-Labor party as its candi-
date for president Of the United
States. 1t is my intention to in
augurate as quickly as possible q
nationwide campaign in behalf OF
the leaders OF political and indus
trial democracy embraced in the
platform Of that party. But dis
like utterly to start on such a cam
paign while one Of my opponents
is in prison, and especially while
he il in prison for no crime other
than an honest public expression
OF his political views. l refer to
Eugene V. Debs. nominee of the
Socialist party.
Entitled to Own Ideas.
"The war has been over for near
ly two years, and whatever justifi-
cation there might have been on
the part Of the government for de-
nying Debs his freedom during the
war has now been dissipated by 20
months of peace. Mri Debs may be
utterly wrong in his ideas of how
best to conduct the affairs of So
ciety, and so may be and SO may
you. but my conception of liberty
includes the right to think wrong
/ say to Mr.. Debs and to others
with whom I disagree, including
the candidates Of the Republican
and Democratic parties, I loathe
your ideas like death, but l will
defend with my life your right to
express them.'" y
Feels Urge Of Justice.
Does it not appeal to you as q
matter Of simple justice that the
presidential candidates Of the Dem
ocratic, Republican and Farmer
Labor parties should Join in q de-
mand upon the president of the
United States to Immediately re-
lease the Socialist candidate from
Atlanta prison? As for me it shall
not be said that l have been a par
ty to the persecution of any man
for the opinion he holds, and
should so regard myself if / failed
to publicly announce my condem-
nation of Debs since l have enter
ed race in which he is a competi-
! tor. Your sense OF sportsmanship
must have led you, since your NOM
ination, to consider the position OF
Debs. l beseech an answer from
you on this proposal"
