He charged that "the Senate ohgarchy

WHAT WOULD LINCOLN THINK?
Referring TO Harden county, in which
he was speaking. as the birth place OF
LINCOLN, MIR Cox said:
Il wonder what response would have
come from that great soul of LuIncoln II
he had been confronted with the issue
of this time tthe League OF Nations,
as We are confronted. ! ask you what he
would have said with respect to this con-
spiracy against civilization which has

A genuinely Southern Democratic vel
come was extended to the nominee at
Bowling Green, the market of the Ken
tuckv oil belt From a stand In the
public square Mr.. Cox attacked the oppO-
, ton TO the League of Nations. A crowd
of 5000 drillers. tobacco farmers and
white and colored citizens paid him q fine
tribute
II am here he said, ''to carry on my
fight as a progressive against the old
order of things / fought it as Governor
OF Ohio and shall continue TO do so. am
fighting the old conspiracy OF silence
which Is determined to prevent the United
States from performing its duty. The
Republican Senate ohgarchy is deter
mined TO turn your attention to every
thing but the League OF Nations.
THE CAUSE OF WAR
The nominee explained In simple lam
cuage the purposes of the League. He
said there were four causes OF war under
the old order:
The ambition Of large nations for terri.
forial expansion, secret treaties, I'm.
necessary armaments and rejection oi
arbitration.
Governor Cox repeated his charge that
the seating Of Newbery was responsible
for the failure of the Senate to ratify
the Peace Treaty. because Newberry'
participation permitted the Lodge grouT
to organize the Senate.
He urged his audience to be guided By
their churches, which, regardless of sect
had indorsed the League o. Nations. HI
referred to President Wilson's character
zation of the League as "a solemn OBJ
legation" AS the true designation Of II.
The charge that it would set up
supeE-government was pronounced to b
absurd He credited the President witt
having defeated that very thing, by pre-
venting the adoption Of the policy favoret
by the League TO Enforce Peace of usin
the combined military forces Of nations T.
prevent territorial aggression.
The governor was interrupted by
man in the crowd while he was aslin
himself and answering questions regard
ing the operation of the League by wa,
of illustrating the misrepresentation of j
by the Republicans.
