10y MORNING JousNtL SPECIAL LEASED WiAai
New Haven, Conn, Aug. a.
Attack on republican campaign
contributions was renewed today
by Governor James NJ. Cox, in
number of addresses opening his
New England campaign.
That he had proven his charges
of the assembling of a SIS, 100000
corruption fund by the republi-
cans in his Pittsburgh address last
was asserted by Governor Cox and
he also declared he would con-
tinue rubbing that sore spot un-
til election day. He withheld,
however, any further evidence in
support Of his charges.
The first break in th~ fepubli-
can line" Governor Cox declared
in one speech here, was the repub-
lican proposal for a separate peace
with Germany,
Second Break I'm lines.
1.-THE second break in the lines
came last night at Pittsburgh" he
,continued. "They have been go
ing along gathering the largest
campaign fund ever known In the
history of government in all the
world. No one ever dreamed of
getting such a sum. This year the
chairman of the republican cam
paign committee has set to work
n great force OF men, state chair
Eni q
that he designates the money dig
gers of the republican party"
Governor Cox stated that VIII ii.
Hays, republican national chair
man, had denied the charges OF
sl5,0OO,000 fund and declared that
the fund would be only $3,OO0,0Oo
while a few days later. the governor
said, Fred w. Upham, republican
treasurer, multiplied Mr.. Hays
figures by two and one-haif times
"by stating that the fund would be
$500, 900"
I'm my Pittsburgh speech" the
candidate added, Il have demon
strated to the satisfaction OF un'
preiudiced voters we were justified
in multiplying Mr.. Upham's figures
by two"
"I repeat that the republican
fund--the corruption fund--will be
not less than sl5,000,0OO. We vii
not attempt to match their dol
lars"
Wky Are Leaders Silent?
After reading a statement from
Mr. Uphanl that the $S,l45,00o
contribution quota list by the can
didate at Pittsburgh was "phoney'
Governor Cox said: THE senate
committee can find out perfectly
we'll who attended this meeting ai
which these lists were distributed
by the republican leaders, 1t is a
matter that can be got at In per-
fectly simple way.
"Another thing that l don't un-
derstand is why Mr.. Harding and
Mr.. Hays are not coming forward
with some explanation Of why this
quota list was kept secret"
Almost from the moment of his
arrival here Governor Cox during
day Of busting campaigning
hammered at the republican fl
nances. He made four addresses
and in all but one, that to soldier
patients at the public health serv'
ice tuberculosis hospital at Alling'
town, he denounced the republican
campaign. He spoke at large
public meeting at theater to-
night. At all meetings he was re-
ceived with enthusiasm.

Besides his criticism of the re
publican contributions. the COVER
