lens, the league of nations, and repub-
lican campaign contributions, were
featured by Governor Cox in an ad-
dress here Saturday night and also
at an afternoon meeting at Orrville,
/ Ohio.
Settlement of industrial controver'
sizes by force Of public opinion instead
/ of the bayonet, while order is main
tanned and neither side to a contro-
versy aided by the favorite, was urg-
! ed by the democratic presidential
candidate tonight.
The labor issue was emphasized in
this industrial community, in which
Governor Cox figured during the steel
strike last fan for refusing TO send
troops and also by removing a demo
cratic mayor.
Large interests are contributing
to the republican campaign fund
Governor Cox declared, because they
want to buy an administration under
which soldiers and the bayonet viii
be used to settle difficulties"
That S15000,000 will be the "low
mark" Of the republican campaign
fund. while the democrats will be "as
poor as Jobs turkey" was asserted
| by Governor Cox, who said his cam
paign fund charge had not been de-
MED. He challenged denial and prom
| ised to present evidence Of his charges
On the league issue, Governor Cox
/ declared there cannot be an economic
readjustment in America, until things
are tied together in other parts of
the world" and reiterated arguments
| that America should enter the league
/ 20 keep faith" with American sol
diers and the allies. He denounced
Il separate peace with Germany as
bad faith. base dishonor, and deser'
| ton Of the allies"
| Reply also was made by Governor
Cox in his Orville speech, to a street
crowd from an automobile truck, 10
/ ,he address Of Senator Harding, ms
republican opponent in which Mr.
Harding defended the senate. Gov
ernor Cox said Mr.. Harding failed TO
distinguish between the senate as an
| institution and the group of repuDl'
can senator's, who, the democratic
nominee said, have formed dornl'
neering oligarchy," which is trying 10
annex the presidency"
In discussing the labor question:
Governor Cox declared the govern
inert must preserve person and poh'
tical property" ,.
at must maintain law and order,
he said being careful that neither
side to the dispute procures the ad'
vantage If its favor.
Roth labor and capital should un-
dersiand that force must surrender It's
place to calm reason. The nature oil
/ the country demands it, in fact and
/ the future of the world as well.
industrial controversies are merely
human affairs. Experience tells US
| that the bitterness which ordinarii!
is engendered grows out of two cir
cumstances. First the belize that n
sharp bargain is being sought either
through attempted oppression or inc
| favoring conditions OF iihanciai
| strength. Second, the attempt whlca
is TOO often successful to bring into
the DISPUTE the force Of government
not for the purpose Of maintaining
order. but to bring an end to the
strike.
"There Is no symptom OF present
tendencies more dangerous thnn the
eacerness of some industrial captains
! to entrench themselves in the favor
and gratitude of public offices, with
the very definite idea that fcrce can
he invoked, if occasion arises, 10
compel settlements. Such poncy
Is the mere manufacturing plan oil
bolshevism-'
Governor Cox emphasized the lac'
that during his six years as governor
no soldiers bullets had been nreo III
an industrial dispute.
Turning to the republican campaign
fund. the democratic nominee sald 1t
was apparent that those who peleVe

Camp followers are gathering py
hundreds" the governor declared
'cNVhole armies Of them are BENG
massed in pivotal states, where the
slush fund will make the Mark Han
ma DAYS suffer by comparison
Many organizations formed during
the war. doubtless. certainly allegediy'
for patriotic purposes, are being TAX
on over. insofar as the officers are
able DO so. The American defense
society has now has been turned py
some Of its officers into political
affair. and a part Of the campaign
fund will be used to render 1t but
another agency Of hypocrisy ana
deceit"
Governor Cox pictured the league as
