 That the senator never champion ed one big constructive measure in all his public life covering decade" was asserted by Governor Cox, who said also that if the league opponents had desired "an honest and straight out" champion they would have chos- en Senator Johnson of Californit and not Senator Harding.
 Ignored Progressiees
 "The senatorial cligarchy did not want a candidate progressive on any subject" said Governor Cox, assert ing that the senator held the worlds record of having dodged 1163 roll calls" Governor Cox cited in detail his opponents votes on. many legfs- lative measures, and continued:
 NO man in America can match the record of Senator Harding in his opposition to progress. and that is the basis of his opposition to the league of nations. The people of America. who are for the league are prcgressives, because the covenant writes for the world the most pro gressive. the most humanitarian and the most righteous code it had ever known. The alignment of the eandi- dates on this. as on domestic prog ress. is definite. I favor going in with such helpful and reassuring reservations as are necessary to se- cure ratification. Senator Harding has definitely said. I turn my back on the whole thing. In this attitude the senator is consistent with his reactionary public record.'

 Cox Welcomes Situation
 We have met before in like align ment and I welcome the situation al it exists now The reactionary sen atorial clique has not dared to mee the issues squarely. It's candidate has been attempting to wiggle anC wcbble himself into the presidenc, and to evade his own unsavory rec ord of reactionary votes throughou the years. He has not dared t, bring into comparison that recor, with mine by discussing what he ha done. To divert attention from hi rcactionary record of the candidat and from the shortcomings of Re publican congress which has been responsible for the failure to enac remedial legislation in the past tw years, and which = responsible fo the disorder of world civilization tC day-the senatorial oligarchy has al tempted tc make this issue agains the very things they failed to cor rect, by charging them to the pres ent administration. But the peopl are alive to the situation.
