world Is the Democratic ticket still
Fourth, the president naturally
has stipulated that Governor Cox
must assume, underwrite and liqui-
date all the international commit
ments in which the present admins
tration has involved itself and the
nation. The president could not pos
sibly demand less. A Democratic
successor could not possibly grant
less, because he stands on a plat
form that makes the same guaran-
tees.

ask: What are the various, mys-
ferrous, uncertain obligations : to
which the president has committed

What Pledge Has He Given
Has he pledged himself to insist
that Thrace shall be joined to Bull
garla instead of to Greece, regard
less of the wishes of the Thracians

Broadly, has the nominee taken
over the various and unknown COM
m1tments of the present administra-

TO the ; questions, the American
people are entitled to an answer. They
will insist on knowing what they are

Governor Cox will frankly and

Harding Talks to B'nai Birth
HIS speech of acceptance finished,
senator Harding spent most of today
resting. With Mrs. Harding he at
tended church in the morning, and
during the greater part of the after
noon he chatted w4en neighbors who
dropped in for Sunday calls. Late
in the day he was a guest at the
installation of a Marion chapter of
the B'nai Birth.
An evening caller at the Harding
home was Representative Bascom
Slemp, Republican national commit
teeman Tor Virginia, who said he
only stopped over here to pay his
respects on his way west. Mr.. Slenp
issued a statement saying that the
Democratic convention had been "a
complete surrender of the west to the
Republicans" and that capture of
Ohio and the east should now be the
objective of campaign fighting.
In short talk at the B'nai Birth
meeting Senator Harding praised
the part played by Jewish citizens
of Marion during the war and said
ne hoped that the whole citizenship
OF the country would catch the spirit
OF the B'nai Birth in campaigning
against ignorance and intolerance.
He declared fraternity and helpful
ness must be abiding purposes of
American citizenship.
