Governor Cox is moving westward to-
day to wage his final fight for presi-
dency In Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and
West Virginia. With only seven
working days" OF the campaign re-
naming. democratic strategy appar-
entity was TO center main stump ef-
forts OF the candidate in Ohio and In
diana. II Is generally admitted in
democratic circles that failure to car
ry these two states wonid mean de-
feat for Governor Cox. The hottest
fight OF the campaign is looked for
this week In Ohio as both candidates
will spend most OF their time speak
ing In their home state.
Although the governors campaign
has been one OF the most strenuous in
the history of American elections
there will be Hosiaseup~ election
day. He will speak the night before
election day at Toledo, that city being
selected for the final speech because
Cox was elected governor Of Ohio
every time he wound up his campaign
there and was defeated the only time
he did, not follow that rule.
Cox Is optimistic over the results Of
his last eastern campaign. The tide
toward the League OF Nations came in
with leaps and bounds during the last
week. according 10 reports TO the
democratic national committee" he
said.

NEW YORK. N. Y. Oct 2a.-Re-
peating a statement from the vener-
able Charles w. Eliot. president en-
eritus Of Harvard that Harding has
turned his back on the republlcanism
OF 1860 and 1918 the New York World
has editorially quoted from a speech
Dy Harding. saying ne was not pres
ent when the war resolution WIS pass
ed by congress.
The following is from the New
York World editorial under the title
Degrading Of a Nation:
The Republican party has turned
its back on its own principles Of 1860
and 1915" Thus writes the venerable
Charles w. Eliot in the current issue
of the Atlantic Monthly.
DR.. Eliot adds by way Of further
comment: This deplorable change
of front is deep modification and
distress TO all patriotic Americans
republican or democratic. and T.artic-
ularly those who remember the poll
tieal ideals which the republican party
was founded 10 contend for and which
it led to glorious Victories"
Harding Was Absent.
As IL to emphasize DR.. Eliot's cans-
tic criticism. Senator Harding said in
his speech at Wheeling Tuesday
night:
4 WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN
THE SENATE PASSED THE WAR
RESOLUTION. BUT / KNOW WHAT
1T CONVEYED. l KNOW WHAT 1T
AND WE DID NOT co TO
WAR TO MAKE THE WORLD
SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY. WE DID
NOT GO TO WAR EVEN FOR HU-
SAKE"
Trevelyan remarked of George III.
that 'he could never forgive a poll
ician for taking the right course un-
ess 1t was from a wrong motive"
Harding himself had no part
n voting the declaration OF war
against Germany, but he is willing to
Justify it provided it is agreed that
he motives of the American people
we're sordid and materialistic. On
he basis he might even forgive Pres
dent Wilson for his successful con
iact of the war.
Fer the rest, Senator Harding re-
20" to co"cede that our dead died
for any noble and inspiring principle.
He refuses to admit that the Amer |
can people had any exaltation of
ipirI; that they regarded the war as
IN irrepressible conflict between free |
iom and autocracy. between the doc |
.rine of right and the doctrine of |
night. To the republican candidate
t was just row over some ships and i
submarines and a disputed interpre-
alton of the trading status of neu-
rails.

A Needless War?

If Senator Harding is right in his
estimate of thesmotives of the Amer
lean people, the war was a needless
war. Every life that was lost was
wasted and every dollar that was
spent was wasted. We could have
.aslly bargained with Germany for
protection. Both sides had violated
American rights on the high seas,
and if nothing mattered except the
materialist'c aspects of the case, Ger
many had more to offer than the al
lies.
The Kaiser could never understand
the attitude of the American people
toward the war. From his point of
view they were foolishly blind to
their own interests The thing for
them to do was to pick quarrel
with Great Britain over the blockade
restrictions, so to war on the side OF
the central powers and take canada
and all the British posses sions in the
Western Hemisphere as their share
of the spoils. That is what any coun-
try would have done which was con-
cerned only with permanent ma
terial advantages and not with NOR
ais.
The Kaiser was mistaken in his es-
Inmates of the American people, and
senator Harding is also mistaken.
