Democratic Nominee Declares the
 Business of America Needs League of Nations to be the Leader

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 8.-Scathine attacks were made tonight by Gov ernor Cox of Ohio, upon the recent
 league announcements of Senator Harding.
 Senator HTarding's creed, the Demo. crat declared in his thirteenth ad. dress today which closed his Ken lucky campaign, was forced "undel pressure of threat from Senator Borah and is America and America only"
 "To preach such a gospel of self ishness is an offense to the decency of America" said Governor Cox, cit ing humanitarian, commercial and other world relationship. "Such a proclamation of provincialism is lit tie short of treason to our traditions.
 eff we were to heed the preach ment of the prophet of Marion" Gov ernor Cox continued, "we might just as we'll make our declaration of in- dependence scrap paper. We might just as we'll burn all our great Americans, past and present in effigy
 How About Taft?
 In view of Senator Hardings stand against the present league, Governor Cox asked whether former President Taft, and other Republicans favor ing American membership, would con- tinue supporting MT. Harding. The governor asked also whether Judge Taft's candidate is giving him an en- tirely different assurance" from his speeches, and requested MT. Taft to tell Gin front of the curtain what was going on behind"
 In his opening speech this morning at Paducah, he reiterated that the "oligarchy" was seeking to "annex the presidency" and also said that "great menace, next to scrapping of the league" was the prospect of four appointments soon to vacancies on the United States Supreme Court.
 Regarding Senator Harding's po- sition the governor said to his taber- nacle audience tonight:
 "Under the pressure of threat from Senator Borah, the senatorial candi- date for the presidency is now in the open and his creed is America and America only.' To use his words we must concentrate ourselves to- the welfare of America and not to the rest fthe world. Must we forget that we are still part of the worl1, the dominion over which is in the hands of God? Even the senatorial "oligarchy" can't promise us new world of our own.
 Business Needs League
 of we are to live commercially, wei have to trade with others. If we are to cut our products to our own con- sumption, the mere adoption of that policy would carry us back fifty years industrially. But there is some thing more than the practical side Are we to close our souls against every thought of sympathy and helpl and leadership? Are we to say we have no interest in Ireland, nor Ger many, nor Russia, nor Poland, nor the other nations of the world strug- gling for Democracy? Are we to close our eyes to the picture of starvation which spreads over half of Europe q Can we deny. the league of nations which brings an end to expensive ar establishes credit and pro- tects people who are willing to work to have bread?
 "Does a physical isolation mean al moral isolation? The acceptance of the creed of the senatorial candidate is little less than notice to Ameri- ca to close our churches, our schools
