cox CHARGES HARDING IS
KING OF REACTIONARIES

Akron. o.. Oct Ex-senator Hard
ing's public record was severely ar
raigned by Gov. James II Cox in an
address here last night, Referring 70
senator Harding's statement that he
IS Embossed and unpiedEed," Gov
Cox said III it were not a tragedy
this statement would be a joke.
The candidate charged that sena-
tor Harding's entire public record has
been one "ot bondage 70 the big
business interests and the corporate
interests Of the country" He said
senator Harding was chosen az Chi-
cago by a nominating conspiracy Of
the senatorial olisarchy." and he de-
handed that the senator tell the peo-
pie what pledges he made In the hotel
room there TO George Harvey and
others 10 secure the nomination He
also intimated that senator Harding
had made plsdges to Spectators in
Mexico and asked him 10 answer a
question on that point.
He charged that the senator has
never advocated one big constructive
policy and that no man in America
can match his record for opposition
20 progress
The candidate again advanced the
argument that Americas entry into
the league Of nations would mean an
era OF additional prosperity at home.
