COX GETS CLOSE
 TO HIS AUDIENCE WHILE SPEAKING
tContinued From Page oneJ

happy, for he was giving his life that there should be no more war.
 Are we to break faith" he asks, with boys who died like that, with the thousan nds who went down to the grave to save civilization and end war;"
 His argument for the League of Ma tions runs: DO you want to end wars? We offer you the League of Nations, with Americas interests properly safe guarded" He almost comedies the Lodge reservations, but he does not do so completely.
 "The republicans grant that some thing should be done. MT. Harding hopes for some new international agreement but he does not know what no one knows what. They have not a concrete suggestion. You are tired of delay. The republicans propose more delay and probably nothing in the end. Elect me and 1 shall get the League of Nations through promptly"
 He has another trick, borrowed from the popular newspaper, or from mod ern salesmanship, and that is, speak ing without qualified tions. He does rot discuss-he asserts. He expresses absolute confidence. He says, After
 the 4th of March I shall do so and SOL or "Mr. Harding proposes to do so and so, but 1 shall be there. I shall not let him" He never says, If I am
 President I shall do so and so. He talks to people who don't indulge in subtleties or fine discrimin nations. lie talks to people to whom everything is either black or white, for whom there |fs no shade of gray. He talks to peo- pie who read the so-called yellow jour-
 nals and go to the movies
 ILLUSTRATES HIS POINT He makes little move of his own whenever he can. He tells what a pro- gressive administration is. A workman went down into a sugar vat and saved the life of another workman but lost his own in the gases. When his widow sued for recompense the courts told her that her husband in entering the vat as- stunned it's risks, for he knew the dan ger of the gases. Then he tells another story to indicate the fellow service doc Urine and another to illustrate the neg ligence doctrine When I changed the state constitution" he says, Ito end this. the present republican candidate for President called it revolution. l call 1t progress"
 Then he tells how he deals squarely with labor and capital as governor of Ohio. q never sent a soldier to settle & strike" he declares, and the law was never violated Property was never de- stroyed; there was never disorder lie got great shout when he declared this, in Wheeling. He called his industrial policy the golden rule.
 The people on the wharf in the eve ming meeting at Wheeling did not under stand the League of Nations It was as we'll presented there as earlier in the day at the democratic state convention, but they somehow got picture of the forces who wanted to buy an 'underhold on the government, who used the militia in strikes. who fought amendments to state constitutions doing justice to labor, as opposing the League of Nations and the ending of war. Cox, who is at his worst in his reasoned, formal written speeches, l like the speech of acceptance, is at his I best in his crossroads talks to voters. He does not go over their heads. He does not bother much with their heads 1, at all. He goes after emotions. AS a presidential candidate he is as much of a phenomenon as he was in journalism twenty years ago. This is said with no | how far he will get. But his will be a campaign that will bear watching.
