piled charge that Governor Cox had
received in 1918 a concealed cam
paign contribution of $4,000 from
the Dayton (Ohio) Metal Products
company. sent the senate campaign
Investigating committee off on q
wholly new tack.
ON demand of democratic MEM
bers of the committee immediate
inquiry was ordered, although the
Ohio state campaign, it was agreed,
was outside the committees Juris-
diction. Officials of the Metal
Products company and of the CITY
National bank of Dayton were call
ed to appear tomorrow with any
papers relating to the transaction
involved.
No direct charge was made.
Citing as his authority an examiner
for a house air craft investigation
committee, however, George b:
lockwood, editor of the National
Republican, volunteered the state
ment as a lead which the COM
mittee might follow that a certain
check drawn by the Metal Products
company, June 20, 1918, was to
"pay a personal note of James M
Cox"
"The effort was to make it ap-
pear that this was an obligation
that Mr.. Cox had entered into win
the City National bank of Dayton
some time before" Lockwood said
but it appears to me from all the
circumstances that it must have
been a contribution from this cor
poration to Mr.. Cox's fund"
Lockwood named H. E. Talbot,
who. he said, in 1918 was president
of the Metal Products company and
of the bank, as the witness who
should be called and a message to
Talbot was sent Immediately.

political arena was that held yes
terday at the Woman's club, the
largest organization of its kind in
the state, when leading women
members of the two political parties
presented the inducements offered
to women voters by the republican
and democratic platforms.
Mrs. Rupert f, Asplund, of Santa

behalf of her party, and Mrs. II. p,
Donohoo, of Tucumcari, state pres
ident of the Federation of Women's

racy. State platforms as presented
by the two speakers did not differ
radically, and the appeal for party
affiliations was based on national
issues.
The closest attention was accord

Mrs. Donahoo was the first
speaker. Beginning with a brief
outline Of the things for which the
democratic party has always stood,
Mrs. Donahoo said that 1t was d.
rectly of and for the people, be-
lieved in direct primary, tariff for

The federal reserve, the farm

child welfare and educational bills,
citizenship bills for man and wom-
an, and illiteracy bills, are all in

The committee made public a

mands Of soldiers, with leVies for
state institutions and a bipartisan
commission for lands. In speaking
of the welfare program Mrs. Dona-
hoo stated that it was all included
in the national platform, and as
state health and child welfare
work are already an organized part
of state institutions, 1t was con-
sidered unnecessary to repeat them
in the state platform,
Urges League support.
Mrs. Donahoo said that the world
war had made the United States in
ternational, and that as sixty-two
nations had joined the league of
nations, and eight more would do
so by November, it should be a
matter of pride to remove this
country from the class of Russia
and Turkey.
Every woman should read the
text OF the league of nations in all
justice, said Mrs. Donahoo, who en-
deayored to show that the six votes
which England and her dominions
would have could not possibly be
I a menace, as the assembly acted
! only on matters Of procedure, and
all important decisions were made
| by the council, the voice of which
must be unanimous.
America cannot play a solo part,
and the women on the country can
| help to keep the country from war.
| They must consider the vote not as
a privilege to be taken advantage
of or not, but as responsibility
that must not be evaded, concluded
Mrs. Dcnahoo, who dwelt particu-
lary on articles 10 and II of the
league constitution as being safe in
| the hands of the council.
League Not What Demos Think.
Mrs. Asplund had the advantage
in speaking last. Touching briefly
on the state platform, she stated
that the women Of both parties
agreed on measures for the good of
the state, but that the republican
women had insisted on a rel era
ton of the welfare measures fer
which they had worked so long,
and pointed out as one result OF
this the promise OF the appoint
ment of women on all educational
advisory boards of the state.
Mrs. Asplund stated that the eff
| feet of the league of nations would
| not be what the democrats think,
that the senate could not accept
| it, that the assembly had the pow
er to elect new members, any self
governing colonies of England, and
she made her appeal to the WON
en- that through the voice of the
assembly In electing new memb RS
to the council England would have
vice the power Of this country
and that would wreck the friend
shin of the English speaking peo-
pie, the greatest force in the world
| today.
Mrs. Asplund called articles ten
and eleven the engines of war, and
declared that the reservations only
made them safe. The republican
attitude, she declared, was d stinct-
| " American, and any attempt to
agree to the league as 1t Is now
written means years of war, from
