COX TO PROVE CHARGE
 OF BIG SLUSH FUND
Interests of Greed Trying to Buy q Harding Victory Cox Charges. Have Big Sum.

Princeton, Ind, Aug. 25.--AttacK on Republican campaign financing was renewed by Governor Cox, Democratic presidential candidate, in an address here today, and he reiterated his pro- mise to expose affairs tomorrow at Pittsburg.
 "Fabulous sums of money" Cover nor Cox declared, "are DeIng contri- buted to the Republican cause by sel- fish, greed interests to buy the cleo ton.
 1t is my privilege and 1t will be my chief aim" said the governor, to ex- pose the senatorial plot and to reveal the interests that are a par of it.''
 Industrial, railroad and agricultural problems, plus the league of nations. were the governors main topics here. He again attacked the Republican senatorial oligarchy which, he said, was attempting consolidation of the presidency and the senate.
 s'The campaign this year" he de. clared, turns almost exciusively on the question of whether small group of men in the United States senate shall run the country. They have delayed the legas ending of the war They have held the affairs of civilization up by the heels. For over a year they have disregarded the voice of the rank and fiji of the re- publican voters, as expressed in the presidential primaries, and they have nominated one of their old crowd for the presidency. They are so far re- moved from the heartbeats of the great mass of the people as ~as German military auteracy prior to the war re- moved from the vital interest of that country"

UNDERTAKER WAS roo EARLY
ishdOwr Undertaken Goes to idabe!
 and ftnds Negro Alive.

From the Idabel, Okla, Gazette:
 A colored undertaken from Ashdown
 arrived in the city Sunday morning,
 bringing a casket with him, to take
 home the body of negro who died on
 George Deans farm, and on his arrival
 here employed l.. P Coffey to go out to the place and embalm the body After
 all arrangements had been made, MT. Coffey, together with the negro under taker, started out to the place in a service car, followed by a truck with the casket. When they reached the
 Shawneetown farm they met Dr. C.. A. Griffin. who informed them that the boy was not dead. but was i'm
 proving MT. Coffey and the under taker returned to town, and the cas-
 ket was left here.
 It seems that the boy had stroke of paralysis or appoplexy and was unconscious, and that negro, pecom- ing excited, had ridden into this city and wired for the boys parents at Ash down, that he was dead, and they had sent the undertaken after the body, while they stayed at home and mourn ed his death.
 The casket has caused considerable talk, and several have asked City Marshal Epperson to open it as it con. Stained a body which no one claimed,

MANY REPRESENTATIVES "DEAD'.
Few of the Old Ones VIII Return to
 the State House.

Little Rock, Aug. 2Q.-(SpeciaD - The fact that quite a number of mem bers of the last house were defeated for renomination, is indicative of a de sire on the part of the public for a new deal in legislative matters. The opposition was not of such pro. nounced character as to indicate and decisive policy on the part of the people, except that they will probably insist upon new program in the pas sage of special road law. However, in at least two counties, the anti-road candidates were decisively defeated by men who stood for the most progress sive type of road legislation It is re- alized that there will be a hard fight against reactionary legislation and that some of the members will un- doubtedly take position in opposi- ton to the passage of any local road laws whatever Those w-1o are com mitted to the advanced program will be confronted with the policy of those who would have the pendulum swing as far back as it has swung forward during the last two or three years. It is unqueStioned that the people are on record as opposed to the orgy Of spe- cial legislation which characterized the sessions of 1919. With so much opposition, there will pe fewer bills introduced even those that are offered will be subjected to a clos CT scrutiny on thaN part of the lawmakers. Much remedial legislation will be impera- tive ill order to save some the the dis tricts which have already made consid- erable progress in the construction of their roads IL is probable that the general policies will be to insure the completion Of projects already started, rather than to increase the number of projects and the consequent taxation to insure the building of roads not already projected.

COX CALLS TURN
EVERY TIME
Tricky Republicans Cannot Fool the
Democratic Candidate.

We learn from Governor Cox that
the Republicans are up to their tricks
again. Anybody would think they
would get discouraged trying them
knowing as they must that the Demo
cratic candidate has his eye on them
and that it is an eye that can see
right through stone wall
| Stranger yet the Republicans don't
seem to be trying anything new
They are doing the very things Gov
ernor Cox had expected they would,
which seems mighty poor strategy.
Mr.. Hays might have known, for in
stance, when he started out to raise
the Is million dollar campaign fund
that Governor Cox would catch him
at it. The governor had expected him
to do that and was looking right at
him when he started to do it. Very
poor work on Mr.. Hays's part we
should say He should have gone af-
ter IA million dollars, or some total
Governor Cox didn't have. his mind
fixed on.
Then there is that Republican plot
to close down all the factories and
throw everybody out of work SO they
will vote the Republican ticket. The
Republicans ought not to have done
that, because again Governor Cox
had been looking for that move. The
Republicans have been doing that reg
ularly since 1883 and might have
known that everybody was on to it.
How could they hope to deceive the
GOVERNOR. Can't he see when the
smoke quits coming out Of the factory
chimney? Can't he see the presi-
dent Of the factory trust, in his check
cd suit, white spats. high hat and NUT
ton chop whiskers, slamming shut the
factory door and locking It with an
iron paddock OF course he can He
can see what follows, too. Industry,

arms, industry seems daxed for = mo-

He feels something. 1t is his wife

How could Will Hays expect Gov
ernor Cox to miss seeing piece of
rough stuff like that?
There is one more Republican trick
Governor Cox is watching for, and
which he is sure to catch them in.
That is the outrageous pressure" of
the bankers who have underground
methods let it be known that all
mortgages will be foreclosed on DEM
ocrats unless they give satisfactory
assurance they will vote the Repub-
lican ticket. If Mr.. Hays tries that
this year, watch Governor Cox nail
him right in the act.
