about his business methodically with his

Republicans, when they are honest"
Governor Cox declared, have acknowl-
edged what is patent to ereryone-that
no one really wants Senator Harding for
president. And yet they tell me as par
tisans, many expect to vote for him be-
cause they have been taught to believe
that they wanted change The ex-
preston was preached as propaganda by
reactionary leaders until it has become
nauseating to the public
What Change Means.
Governor Cox asked whether the yot-
ers desire change back to normalcy
relative to legislation to tax revision
by big business" to success of reaction
airy politicians" to control of govern
ment by men led by Lodge and Penrose"
and to other conditions
The governor arrived here from Day

where he issued second statement at
tacking the Saturday Evening Post, re-
newing charges of unfair partisanship.

back upon it"

In his assault upon sentiment for "a

tons to voters:
DO they want a change that will
mean tax revision from a big business
point of view? That is the change they
would get from Senator Harding.
DO the cattle raisers want the change
desired by the packers, so that the Ken
yon -kendrick bill will be killed, leaving

Washington. Oct 2S.-An intimate
Woodrow Wilson really is" touched here
and there with hitherto unpublished in
cidents in the presidents official life,
was drawn by Joseph p. Tumulty speak
ing at a Democratic mass meeting, just
over the line in Maryland, Thursday
night
With the approach of Mr.. Wilson's
retirement to private life, Secretary
Tumulty said, 1T seems to me not i'm
proper that just before the curtain rises
on the last act, | modestly step out from
my obscurity in the wings, and tell the
audience few things about the leading
actor in this great drama of the past
eight years
Recalling his 10 years in the "inti-
mate relationship of a private secretary"
the speaker said:
Hatred of War.
II recalled the reaction of the presi-
dent to the applause which greeted de-
livery of his war message to congress
on April 6. 1917.
"On that fateful day, rode with him
back from the capitol to the White
House, the echo of the applause still
ringing in my ears. For while he sat
silent and pale in the cabinet room. AT
last he said: Think what it means they
are applauding: it means death for our
young men. How strange it seems to
applaud that
THAT simple remark" Secretary Tu
multy continued, is one key to an under
standing of Woodrow Wilson. who, he
said. ''hated and dreaded war with all
of the fibre of his human SOUL

AS further evidene of the presidents
sense of responsibility on the blood shed
by American soldiers, Mr.. Tumulty told
Great Falls daily tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1895-1921, 1920-10-29

The Republican nominee also relter-
ated his faith in party government, and
asserted that he did not desire to be
president unless a Republican congress
also were elected to translate Republi-
can promises into performance He made
a special plea for Republican senate,
declaring the nation owed to the pres
ent senate debt of gratitude that nev-
er could be paid. Charges of senate
oligarchy" he pronounced as entirely
false.
Why Voted for Reservations.
Mr. Harding declared he had voted
for ratification with reservations be-
cause that was the only way the senate
could deal with the problem as it was
presented by the president. He out
lined the argument in favor of the reser-
yations on mandates, withdrawal and
Article X, and said that all the Re
publican qualifications had been design
ed ito limit our obligations, not to make
them clearer"
Cites Armenian Demand.
The presidents proposal for man
date over Armenia, the candidate assert
ed, had shown in striking fashion the
wisdom Of the Republican reservations
He added that, although the United
States sympathized deeply with Armen-
of 10000 to 100000 there after Great
Britain and France had taken all the de-
sirable territory bordering on Armenia,
leaving to Uncle Sam the starving and
people of Armenia"
Quoting from British publication
which declared the United States was
doing more than any other nation to-
ward world rehabilitation by it's contri-
buttons to European relief, the nominee
said:
THAT is the soul of America Talk
about breaking the heart of the world,
America is healing the heart of the
tragedy were true, would rather break
the heart of the world than destroy the
soul of American nationality"
In his discussion of party government
and the league, Senator Harding said
Il know pretty well that the American
people are thinking of calling the Re-
publican party back to service in the
nation. I have very strong convic-
ton that you are going to elect Repub-
lican as president Of the United States.
But | warn you. don't do it unless you
intend to put the Republican party in
power in the congress as well as in the
executive office.
II would not want to be your presi
dent unless you are going to give us a
Republican congress to translate Re
publican promises into legislative en-
actments. It is very important to have
q majority in the United States senate
and you ought always to think of the
senate as saving your American liberty.
Don't be distressed about the So
called senatorial oligarchy. There isn't
any. / think we would have succeeded
this year in harmonizing the senate into
a completely useful agent If it had not
been for the interference Of the chief
executive, who was not satisfied with
his own end of Pennsylvania
