man Newberry Of Michigan, who was
| later convicted of obtaining his election
by fraud.
Governor Cox spoke in part as follows:
1.-THE forthcoming election carries with
| it an especial Significance in that it
comes at q time when the eyes OF the
world are upon America for leadership
"The decision made will register
Americas place among the nations of the
earth, either as helpful factor in leader
! ship, or as a nation which is willing
simply to take its place in the ranks.
This is not a partisan campaign, so
| let us counsel together IN this presence
as Americans.
Let us search our consciences in or
der to ascertain what our duty is as
Americans.
Il have no quarrel with the Republican
party.
| my fight - against the senatorial
| oligarchy, that group Of men In the Sen
ate which paid no Alteration to the rank
and file Of the Republican party when
they came finally to select the nominee
Of the convention in Chicago.
"It is my contention that this sena-
torial oligarchy not only deserves the
condemnation OF the American people for
what it has done TO the civilization OF
| the world. but 1t deserves as well the re-
pudiation of the rank ard file of the Re-
I publican party for its utter disregard OF
| the express mandate ut the primaries.
VISITS YOUR
FRONT PORCH.
Il was not nominated by any sena-
/ torial ring or any other kind Of a ring
and 1 Will not be tied down 70 my front
| porch by any senatorial ring.
| 1.-The only front porch l am interested
| in this campaign is your front porch
/ and 1 mean &c carry the issues TO you
/ there.
big business is always with reaction
/ That must be more than a coincidence
why do tkey object to q progressive
administration at Washington during
| the coming four yearsr Because they
( know perfectly well that if the pro.
I gressive candidate for President is
/ elected. and there IS only one running
4 they will not have a reserved seat when
I We begin businss at Washington.
NEVER FIRED A SHOT
/ AGAINST LABOR.
II have been Governor of Ohio six
years. three terms, and I have never
/ thrown the uniform of a soldier into the
/ perspective nor the skyline Of an In
/ dustrial controversy.
And We have never fired shot in
/ Ohio for the purpose OF settling an IN
dustrial dispute.
I'VE kept the bayonet covered mp.
I'VE never used ii.
1--WE used In place the Golden Kuie.
'It worked perfectly.
THAT explains the large contributions
OF some Of the big interests opposed to
a progressive administration OF affairs
at Washington.
In working out the problems of Amer.
| lean farm life, the extension of,transpor
tation systems, the building of good roads
and the creation Of modern school facili-
ties In the country which bring to tn,
/ boy and girl OF the farm the same oppor
| tunities which are offered to the boy and
1 girl of the city, go hand in hand.
1T is now possible also to bring ever
to the most remote rural district the en-.
tertainment facilities to be found in thu
more populated centers. Farm worn
should no longer be drudgery.
Labor saving machinery long since re
duced the period of toll in the fields.
ut is now possible to apply the same
methods to make more enjoyable the ex.
istence Of the farmers wives.
1T is necessary to provide not only :
ready market by increasing transporta.
ton facilities, but it is essential thai
that market be maintained by the natural
law of supply and demand.
"Let us eliminate artificial control
which reduce the income Of the producer
which, at the same time increase the cos
to the consumer.
This artificial addition to the cost Of
the necessities Of life creates a vicious
circle.
Il have given serious study to the sub
Ject and know that prolteering can b.
checked in a way which will break tn.
circle and bring immediate and tangible
results.
EXTRAYAGANCE UNTIL
ARMAMENTs REDUCED.
1--WE declare our adherence to the fun.
damental progressive principles Of social
economic and industrial justice. and ad.
vance a purpose to resume the great work
OF translating these principles into ef-
fective laws.
Action already begun was interrupted
when the war claimed all the national
energies for the single task of victory.
Victory having come, we must estab-
fish legal peace and on an humanitarian
basis
Waste and extravaganza must con-
tinue until as a result of our agreement
with the other nations, building OF
ornaments may be discontinued
Our war taxes cannot be reduced II
we must go on building battleships and
equipping armies year after year in com
petition with other nations, and we can
not discontinue until the other nations
do likewise.
"The League Of Nations provides the
means.
This brings us TO a consideration of
one Of the most vital questions Of the
day.
Millions of men, women and children
In the war-stricken countries of Europe
are literally starving to death when
Americt has the ability and the resources
to provide for them all
"But this provision can only be made
when reconstruction Of the world has
been undertaken under definite plan.
Although our brave soldiers achieved
victory in the great war and by their
