War.
San Diego, Sept. 20.-Charges of
a biased press were, made by Cover
nor Cox of Ohio, Democratic presi-
Dental candidate, in, addressing a
large audience here late today.
A great many reactionary papers
are not printing the news of the
campaign, Governor Cox asserted.
''They decline to have this case tried
before jury. Nine-tenths of the
newspapers in California do not print
the news"
Gone of the deliberate, plans of the
senatorial oligarchy,'" said Cover
nor Cox, twas to control as many
newspapers as possible"
The general charge was supple
mented by the governor with partic-
,.ular criticism of newspapers of Paci-
fc Northwest states which he visited
recently and of California papers.
Some of the former, he said, did not
carry his speech of acceptance.
The governor reiterated that he in
tended to enforce prohibition. Stat
ing that Pacific Northwest. newspa-
pers had tried to divide progress
and the LIQUOR question, he shouted,
s'The 18th amendment has been
adopted; it's going to be enforced" I"
stamping his foot while the audience
applauded. He asked his audience
when people come and say that Cox
is all right but little damp" to re-
member his record in securing sa-
loon Sunday closing law in Ohio prior
to real prohibition.
The governor also declared for a
tariff on lemons to cover the deficit
in labor and transportation costs to
New York from Italy and California.
He said that he had advocated such
a tariff in congress in 1909, and
would adhere to, that position. He
criticised "reactionary newspapers
which say that Cox might be right on
the league, but stands for tariff
that would put California lemon
growers out Of business"
Non-Psrtisan Support.
The league of nations was a lead
ing topic of the Democratic candi-
dates address and he urged it's nom
partisan support.
Referring to the Republican front
porch campaign, Governor Cox said
that if he remained at home, there
might have been suspicion that ne
was afraid to face audiences.
Protection against radicalism
through legislative governmental re-
forms again was advocated b. Gov
ernor Cox, who said that the non
partisan league in North Dakota,
while it probably has gone entirely
too far was the direct result of
governmental abuse, oppression aid
defiance of the expressed will of the
people.
Reiterating criticism of Senator
Harding's nomination and attacks on
the Senatorial oligarchy," the can
1iaate presented his charges regard
ing alleged contributions by "big
business" to the Republican cam
paign book by William Barnes, Jr.,
of New York. The governor reiter-
ated that ''the same old crowd" was
in control Of the Republican party.
Featuring the league Of nations,
Governor Cox elaborated for the first
time on the reservations :ffcred IN
the senate by Senator Hitchcock,
Democrat, Nebraska, administration
leader, and also read portion of
President Wilson's letter to Senator
Hitchcock, approving the Nebraskan's
reservations. This, Governor Cox
said, refuted the charges that the
president demanded ratification
without the crossing of It. or the
dotting of an 'i'.'
The Monroe Doctrine was protect
ed, Governor Cox said, by the Hitch
cock reservations, declaring it would
''not be impaired"
Another Hitchcock reservation, the
governor said, met objections of
those who declared the British en-
pire would have six votes to Ameri-
cas- one.
Not On Front Porch.
eff Canada has dispute, she can
not sit and only one vote would be
accorded to England and all her col
onies," said the governor, explaining
the reservations operation.
