to the matters after he is elected!
On the other hand this year the
! Democratic platform promises the
things that we have long prayed
might come to pass and so does Cox
If he is elected things we desire will
certainly be done. He stands fo1
what we all believed IN during the
war.
We see no ether great issue except
the League Of Nations. It is hard to
believe our Republican friends sin
cere in attacking Wilson's strong adj
| ministration when they praise Roose-
welt for doing the same thing. Nc
doubt the Republicans are anxious tc
get Offices, and can point out many
faults and mistakes in the Demo
cratic administration. But the two
I administrations of Wilson have aver
aged as we'll as most Republican adj
ministrations. Not over many faults
and some fine constructive work like
the rural free delivery, rural credits
non-partisan tariff commission. the
corrupt practices act, the federal re-
serve banks, the federal trade COM
mission, etc The prOfiteers, whose
gains are diminished by these losses.
Our colored friends must not think
we forget them. Their help must fin
ally come through southern people
md southern people are Democrats
The long line of Republican presl-
dents could not do for them as much
as Woodrow Wilson did in his letter
to southern governors. Never before
did Democratic southern governors
call out state troops to defend colOred
people as they are now doing. Every
negro should vote for Cox because of
Article % of the League Of Nations:
which gives the first recognition and
protection Africa has ever had.
But all these internal, affairs are
as nothing this year compared with
the League of Nations. Never be
fore since the world began have we
common people had a chance to vote
for world peace on the basis oil falr-
ness and right. We can never again
cast so 1nomentous and so joyous
vote.
True, there are whispered personal
charges against Cox. Court fecords
show that in his long-ago divorce ne
was adiudged blameless and given the
custody of the children: Like WIS
ners are heard against Harding. we
WiIl listen to no charges that are not
made in responsible print. And these
men are simply Instruments Cox
and his supporters will do, what we
wish to have done in putting Amer
lea in her place in the league. This
selection vii enlighten and convert
those obstructive senators.
True. Harding, driven from his
front porch by impending defeat, now
about every other day an
interest in the league which goes be-
yond the Republican platform. Bu'
he can make no pledge with Borah
and Johnson behind him. The only
thing we are sure Of is, he wants tc
be elected. and is great in saying
things that sound well, but mean
In voting for Cox we do not in any
sense become Democrats. We shall
remain Independent, always ready to
vote for the men who promise to do
the things we wish to have done, and
we certainly hope Republicans will {
make such promises next year. We |
abhor the cry: "America first and the |
world go hang" This is selfish, UNI
christian, the very oppisite of sem
timent for which we and others gave
our dearest to die in the ''war to end
war;" God reigns, and we must vote
as we pray
