 BETWEEN HARDING AND cox
Special to The Bulletin

Willimantic. Oct. 2s.-Speaking be- fore over six hundred residents of this i city at a republican rally held at the | town hall Friday night. Hon. George | Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia stated | that at the polls Tuesday November 2nd i the voters of this country must choose between the democratic party which | wants this country to enter league pas l ed on coercion. or the republican party i which is to use tn conference method.
 There are several parties in this coun- try today and a party is a group of cit izens with tn same general view of gov ernment who vote to give their views an effective expression. The democratic par ty is one that has been in control for the past seven years and which will If con tinued in office continue to run the gov ernment in the same manner as long as they hold office. The republican party is group of people who believe the VII son administration to be a rank failure and who have declared that they will clean up the mess made by the Wilson administration.
 If a person desires to know what kind of man the republican party has nom mated for president draw a picture of Wilson and you have the exact opposite of the man the republican have nominat- ed. Wilson is a man who has caused his party to split. and has split the govern government into two parts each of whom are almost ready to fight over how world peace can be obtained. Contrast him with a man who will work with con gres sand will keep his party together. and who will promote American harmony and you have the man whom am proud to vote for, Warren G. Harding of Ohio.
 Contrast the method in which he is conducting his campaign for the great of- fee of president of the United States with the guerill awarfare his opponent. James NJ Cox. of Ohio, has adoted. Cox is hiding behind stone and trees shooting his poisoned weapons at men in the open. He | has no sense of fairness and has resort | ed to pillage and his pillaging consists of digging up some scandal tonight to have published in the morning papers. He com plains that too much attention is given MT. Wilson. but why should he com plain. Mir Wilson is a tragic but grand figure. while Cox is In temperament
 character and manner the most con spisuouslv incompetent candidate ever nominated for the office in the world.
 Then taking up the duty Connecticut owes the nation. MT. Pepper stated tha
 from the point of view of the nation Sen
 ator Frank E. Brandegee should be re
 turned to the senate, and kept there al
 long as he is willing to serve in tha
 office In time past when progressive
 measures were needed We wanted in offic,
 men like Theodore Roosevelt, who woul,
 take great chances to gain an object the'
 thought worth the price. In Brandeee'
 the nation has a man who had the fac
 ulty of piercing bubbles and today whel
 the air is full of them he is needed evel
 more. Although in times past Senate Brandegee may have thought some thing
 bubbles that were in reality solid sphere
 the country needs him and Connetcicu
 should send him back to the senate.
 Taking up the issue of the league. Mir Pepper said in part: suppose that
 may begin by assuming that our common
 aim is world peace. World peace mean
 peace between each pair of nations mos strongly tempted to fight one another an' 7 thus oembroil the world. There are tw methods of settling disputes one of then
 is the conference method. The other i ] the method Of coercion. In life you al |. ways have to choose one or the other 3 You can't successfully straddle.
 ] No wa society of nations to promot e peace must be formed upon one or tn = other of thees theories Either it mus : be a society to influence nations to b
 peaceful or it must he a society to fore l them to be quiet. It must either be q society. to organize and promote confer h enee or it must he q society for organ o ized coercion. A mongrel organization n. bound to fail.
 n It is not a matter of words. Not Il question of accuracy of rival versions
 is a clean cut statement of the compu d sorry insurance embodied in Article x ( '. the covenant, where you must look 3 find the heart Of the league. The Unite e States and every other member covenant q to preserve as against external agIressio 'f the frontier line of every nation in tn
 world.
 Senator Harding says to his countr,
 mem We are deeply interested in pr, F venting world connagration not only f, :. our own sake but for the sake of II
 more immediate sufferers. Let us ther . fore try to reach the causes of the con N bustion. Let us assemble all parties 7, conference and work. out principles
 fire-prevention and persuade the carelc - ] tc be careful. But do not let us maj
 the mistake Of subscribing blanket pc . icy to insure the world against fire. = Glad as we are to put our resourc =. - at the service of our neighbors. yet wh.
 We know they. can burn dollars fast. , than we can earn them our most human - course is to reserve our right to decid whom We shall help and whom we cal ,I not. As against these words of wisdo ai and charity Candidate Cox can mere N repeat President Wilson's familiar a
 vice. "Join the mutual insurance cor
 pany and sign the blanket policy. By
 doing, the United States will get il rG credit of being first class philanthr or pist and will really incur no risk: b .d cause if a fire breaks out and a loss ii e CUTS. congress can easily refuse to a
