HARD|NG' ELECTION WILL STOP PROGRESS STATES SID BOWIE Governor Cox Has Interest of the People at HeartEIs
 Backed By Loyal
 Americans

1He OnlJeQ~ States has made more real progress in the last hundred years than any other nation in the world. Today we are more advanced than any other nation.
 ""But if the American people desire their nation to come to a quick standstill and then after awhile begin going backward and loose all that we have gained, then we should by all means elect Senator Harding and get the League of Nations scrapped at the earliest possi- ble date"
 This is the statement made by Sid ney J. Bowie, who says that the elec- ton of Governor Cox to the office of President of the United States will prove that great majority of the peo- pie of this country want a man at the head of their nation that they know will carry out their ideals and beliefs.
 FOREIGN ELEMENT
 T hate to think just what it would mean to the United States to have q man like Senator Harding and the crowd that is backing him, as the lead CTS of this country continued Mir. Bowie. There is a foreign element in this country that has come into exist ence as the result of the world war. Because of the fact that the United States came out the victor in the war they are against any real American ever again being placed at the head of the nation.,'
 "Senator Harding will get their
 votes He has promised them cer-
 tain things which king with all
 his power in the ancient days could
 not fulfill. That element is back
 ing Senator Harding because they
 know that if he is elected that he
 will make separate peace with
 Germany and that this would en-
 able her to once more get on her
 feet so that in time she would once
 again be leading nation of the
 world. That is in strength alone.
 Germany will never again be the
 nation she was before the war.
 Human nature will notastand for it.
 There is also the Irish vote, which will go largely to Senator Harding. am not saying that the Irish in this country are not loyal Americans. But they have been fooled by false prom ises made by the republican party, promises to the effect that the United States will take a hand in the settling of the dispute between Ireland and England, a thing which this country has no earthly cause for becoming mixed up in.
 LOYAL AMERICANS
 "But the vote of loyal Ameri-
 cans, the vote of the women, and
 tho vote of labor will go toward
 Governor Cox. First, because he is
 an upright. honest. fair and square
 American and has the interest of
 the nation at heart.
 If he did not have the interest of the nation at heart, why should he be trying to make certain people see that the League of Nations covenant is the most important manuscript to come be- fore the public since the constitution of the United States was written.
 And I feel safe in saying that if Governor Cox is not elected and that if the Leageu of Nations is thrown in the scrap heap, then we had best prepare ourselves for another four years of such disgraceful legislation that has witnessed the rule of the republican party every time they have been in of
