 NOMINEE DECLARES
Does Not Specify Their Short. cOmings-Says He Has Serv- ed in Congress With
 Both of Them

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 27.-Disap- proval of matters" in the admins trations of Attorney General Pal mer and Postmaster General Burle- son was expressed by Governor Cox of Ohio, here tonight in addressing a large audience at the auditorium where strenuous Nebraska cam- paign was closed.
 The Democratic presidential can didate said that although he believ- ed the two cabinet officers had per formed their duties "whole hearted ly" and were conscientious men, he did not indorse matters in both of their administrations. No specific affairs were stated by the governor In response to a question propound- ed by local paper as to whether he indorsed the Palmer and Burleson administrations, the governor re- piled:
 Served With Both.
 ''I served in congress with both of these gentlemen. l know them to be high minded, conscientious men and believe that their administrations were whole heartedly performed. Yet there are matters in both of their administrations which 1 do not in- dorse. Neither do I indorse the pol icy of Frank Hitchcock as postmaster general. MT. Hitchcock, you will re- member, is the gentleman who ran the road roller over Roosevelt in the convention of 1912 and organized the Southern delegates in 1920 for Gen eral Wood. Neither do I endorse the administration of Philander c. Knox as attorney general. Mr. Knox, while an able jurist, is one of the foremost reactionaries in the United States and his decisions were colored by his partisanship."
 The governors speech here was the eleventh in Nebraska today, one of the busiest of his western trip. In all he stressed the league of nations, from moral viewpoint and also the material interests of Nebraskans.
