Norwich bulletin., 1920-08-27

The quota Plan, Goveror Cox charged. was approved by Chairman Hays and treasurer Upham and also, he added, "it received endorsement from a higher source."
 !, Quoting from a message" written by Senator Harding in the official bulletin of August 5. Governor Cox said that Senator Harding expressed his gratitude for the enthusiasm shown in raising the campaign fund.
 That MT. Harding is acquainted even with the details of the enterprise is evil denced by subsequent passage" said Governor Gov, which is as follows:
 Through the fine work of your or ganization, we are nearing that form of political patriotism which expresses it. self in support from every county. every state. TherefC1e. l want all members of your organization to feel that their ef- forts are essential to our success in planning for national enlightenment and deeply appreciated by me-"
 Governor Cox said he depended wholly for the purpose of making proof of his charges" upon official documents which came from republican headquarters. He did not plan to send his data to the sen ate campaign Investigating committee, stating privately that the committee could get it's information from his ad- dress tongiht.
 Besides his statement on republican finances, which he prepared with great care today on the train enroute from Evansville, Ind, and winch he rad to his audincc tonight, the democratic can didate also discussed the league of na- tions and industrial problems, urging settlement of strikes without the bay onet
 Present day opinions of European statesmen on the part of this nation were laid before Senator Harding today for his consideration in shaping details of a republican peace program.
 The report was brought to the nominee by Myron T. Herrick, mormer ambassa- dor to France, who has just returned from a series of conferences with the public men of various nations of west ern Europe. In a public statement MT. Herrick said the western European statesmen now were hoping for a return of the republican party to power and would welcome the peace settlement proposed by Senator Harding.
 The former ambassador also intimated that the world court plan now being formulated abroad by Elihu Root and the representative European nations would haves-s large place in the pro- gram as finally placed before the coun- try.
 League of Nations
 The league of nations issue also was discussed by the candidate today with former senator George Sutherland of Utah.
 That the nation must not hold aloof but must play it's proper part in the worlds affairs was emphasized by the nominee talking today to group of Marion county school teachers. He also promised to use his influence for higher school standards and for better pay for teachers.
 MT. Herrick declared the position of the republican party was fully under stood in Europe while Pro 1..ent Wilson had been discredited because the nation had not accepted his peace plan.
 If President Wilson had sent a peace commission of properly equipped dele gates" said MT. Herrick and they had made the bases of sound peace, say in January of 1919, Europe would have agreed readily. For the tragic failure to accomplish this, the President alone was responsible, and all Europe now knows it. I talked with very many of the foremost statesmen of Europe and I know that this statement reflects their attitude.
 They persistently inquired why we did not submit to them the reservations adopted by the senate. Without excep- ton, they insisted that if these had been submitted to them, they would instantly have acquiesced in them. l explained time an again that the senate has no channel through which it can communi- foreign governments.
 "As to the military alliance provided under article x of the league covenant the Russo-Polish war has been complete proof of it's utter ineffiicacy. England could not send troops because of domes- tic political conditions inEngland, we could not send them, France was not able to furnish the necessary force. At the first test the military alliance prov ed a complete failure and all the states men and publicists of Europe acknowl- edged the fact.
 ''The people and the statesmen of western Europe now realize that their hope lies in the return of the republi- can party to power. They know that the republican party has always been the one with vision and understanding of international aKairs. They under stand that with the republican party again in power it will be ready and able to effectively cooperate witht them to stop the spread of bolshevism
 While in Europe I talked among others with Elihn Root. He will be home think very shortly and I anticipate that his return Will be followed by an- nouncement of very Important accomp- lishments that will go far toward clari- flying the entire international situation ;
 In his talk to the teachers. Senator Harding recalled his own early experi- ences as the master of a country school and declared that teachers should be compensated as literally, is not more lib- erally than anay other profession"
 "The normalcy' voiced by their candi. date as visioned by his masters said Governor Cox, referring to Senator Hard ing. lis bayonets at the factory door, un- restrained profiteering at the gates of the far-the burden of government on shoul- ders other than their own, and the fed eral reserve system an annex to big bus. mess. When the American people fully grasp the sinister menace hanging oyer them they will shun it as plague"
 Returning to the campaign fund ques- tion, Governor Cox reminded his audi. ence that recent contribution of large sums by business interests began in the case of Senator Newberry of Michigan
 Danger of Corrupt Campaign.
 His present charges, the governor de. clared of fund "so stupendous as to ex. ceed the realm of legitimate expense ,' mean but one thing-imminent danger of an odious and corrupt campaign.
