Pledges Program of Action.

I'VE shall not alone make appeal to
the electorate by contrasting the rules
of economic thought that have pre-
vailed in the past, but we shall call at
tention to the delinquent attitude in
which this country has been placed by
senatorial intrigue and to the very defi-
mite program of action we pledge. 1t is
necessary to recall the issues of the
war. They were well marked in the
public mind. We were willing to sac
rifice in behalf of the next generation
because preceding generations had
sacrificed for us. After all, that is the
vital thing in civilization. We resisted
worldwide menace, and we intend
now to establish permanent protection
again another menace We know how
to make their coming difficult in the
future. We have a definite plan. The
American people understand 1t, and
after March 4, 1921, it is our purpose
to put 1t into practical operation, with
out continuing months of useless dis
cussion.
THE platform of our party gives us
the opportunity to render moral CO.
operation in the greatest movement of
Righteousness in the history OF the
world, and at the same time to hold
our own interests free from peril. Our
position is plain. The circumstances in
the last IS months convict the Repub-
lican leadership with attempted trick
ery with the American people. Under
one pretext after another they pre-
vented the readjustment of national
conditions. They proposed certain reser-
vations OF the league of nations, and
then they were abandoned, to be fol-
lowed by nothing more definite than
the announcement of hope that an
entirely new arrangement might be
made in world affairs. What method
they have in mind, if it is concretely
| in any ones mind the people do not
know No unprejudiced person can
deny that the consequence of abandon
| ing the league and attempting an en-
tirely new project, will be long de-
Iayed If the voters of the republic,
| without regard to party, desire action,
and prompt action, along lines that are
now clearly understood, they will rem
der a verdict so overwhelmingly ex-
pressive of public Indignation that
scheming politicians for years to come
will not forget.
"In the face of an efficient Demo-
cratic leadership during the war, and
| of constructive, progressive, economic
service in peace, the Republican lead !,
ers developed a smoke screen behlnd
which they seek to gain their objective,
| the spoils of office. For years the best
| thought and humanitarian impulses OF
| civilized countries have been applied TO
the high purpose Of making war prac-
| tically impossible. The league OF ma
| tions became the composite agreement,
| and now the senatorial oligarchy meets
| il with the absurd plea that 1t increases
| the possibility of armed conflict. II not
| only reveals unworthy intent. but a
very poor estimate of American intell-
| ganca ae we'll "

-
WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 14-Gov.
COX today opened fire on his Republ-
can opposition, charging it's leadership
with attempted trickery" of the Amer
lean people in opposing the league Of
nations, and with conducting a cam

cure partisan spoils.
That "a powerful combination of in
terests Is now attempting to buy gov

the Democratic presidential candidate,
charging that millions and Millions
were being raised in campaign contri-
buttons
The governor loosed his attack in an
address here at the West Virginia DEM
ocratic convention. 1t was his first
vigorous assault on the Republicans,
and was to be followed tonight by an
other address made to the general pub
lie.
Although advocacy of the league of
nations. which the governor declared
was the greatest movement of right
eousness in the history of the world -
was the main theme of the Democratic
candidates address, he also attacked
again the Republican Senatorial oil
garchy." The Democrats, he added, pre-
sent a cause of constructive. progress
sive, economic service in peace" and
promise definitely a saving of $4,000,
100000 annually in government ex-
penses.

the triumph of a political party. 1t is
purely matter of concluding duty
to civilization and doing it as quickly
as prudent consideration of our coun-
trys interests suggests.

has been given to the Democracy for
the simple reason that the senatorial
