COX WILL TAKE UP WILSON'S
BANNER- HIS MOTTO SEEMS
TO BE "AMHRICA LAST


"You said you d toll US some more
about our next vice-president this
week." said Jack after he had sue
ceeded in getting Uncle Ted to put
down book he was reading.
eyes, Jack, was going to continue
with that story but since that time
Governor Cox has made his long speech
Of acceptance as the Democratic nom
inee and L must tell you something
about what he says he stands for and
what he would do as president.
"When did he make his speech ?"
asked Ruth.
"He spoke on Saturday, August I,
at Dayton Ohio, after long parade
and speech by Senior Robinson. Ev
erything was staged like theatrical
performance, but they had the people
worn ont before Cox even began to
talk. Hns speech was so long that !
could not possibly tell you all he said
tonight, But I will pick out the main
parts and show you just where he
stands. In the very first place, just as
told you after Cox had his talk at the
White House with President Wilson, he
will fight for the world club. We
thought so then and we know it now.
Governor Cox has no new or original
ideas, but is simply content to follow
in the footsteps of the man now in the
White House. He is ready, should he
be elected, to take up where Mr.. Will
son leaves off and make every effort
to tie this country to the world club. y
'Did he really say so?' asked Jack
''He certainly did. Listen to this
from his speech; President Wilson,
our representative at the peace table,
entered the league in our name, in so
far as the executive authority permit
ted. Senator Harding, as the Repub
lican candidate for the presidency, pro-
poses in plain words that we remain out
favor going in Let us see what that
means, Riddles. He speaks of Presi
dent Wilson as our representative at
the peace table He was our represent
tative only because he appointed him.
self to go, and the first time a presi
dent has left the country to take up
foreign business when there were thous.
ands of things to be done right here
at home. Mr. Cox, then, says that Mr..
Wilson entered the world club in our
name as far as he could. He did that,
all right, and even went further by
trying to force the United States zen
ate to complete our entry. He contin-
ues that Senator Harding says in plain
words that we should stay out. He
is right there for Senator Harding
cares more for the growth of the Unit
ed States; he cares more for the lives
of our American boys and for the tax
payers money than he does for mixing
with the affairs of every country on
the globe. Mr. Cox's last sentence
shows us that he favors going in the
world club
Ought That's awful" exclaimed
Ruth.
eyes, Ruth, you realize better than
many grown people the fact that the
world club is club of WAR and not
a club of peace. You have listened
and have learned for about year the
many, many bad things about this club
plan. But before election day most OF
the voters of this country will realize
that the best way to keep this country
in continual trouble; the best way to
spend our money on European countries
and kill our boys on European soil is
to vote for James M. Cox. Just think
of it children, Governor Cox thinks We
ought to be proud to pay third of
the cost of any war just to be allowed
to belong to n world club that would
have thirty members and in which We
would have but one vote! That is just
what his speech amounts to so far az
the world club goes.
"When Senator Harding made his
: speech he promised peace just as soon
as Republican congress could pass it
