Lesson was expressed by Governor. Cox
in addressing a large audience at the
auditorium where strenuous Ne
braska campaign was closed.
Both Conscientious Men.
The. Demo ocratic presidential candi-
date said that although he believed
the two cabinet officers had perform
ed their, duties "who!e heartedly"
and were conscientious men, he did
not indorse matters in both of their
administrations. No specific affairs
were stated by the governor.
Governor Cox replied to several
questions published in a local news
paper, repetition largely Of past ex-
periences Of the candidate with West
ern opposition press. In response to
question here as to whether he IN
dorsed the Palmer and Burleson ad-
ministrations, the governor replied:
81 served in congress with both OF
these gentlemen. / know them to be
high minded. conscientious men and
believe that their adminiasr asrations
were wholeheatedly performed. Yet,
there are matters in both OF their
administrations which do not in
dofse. Neither do I indorse the policy
Of Frank Hitchcock as postmaster
general. Hitchcock, you will re-
member, is the gentleman who ran
the road roller ever Roosevelt in the
convention Of 1912 and organized the
Southern delegates in 1920 for Cen
eraI Wood.
"Neither do / 'indorse the admin
issration of Philander C. Knox as at
torney general. Mr.. Knox, while an
able jurist, is one of the foremost
reactionaries in the. United States
and his decisions were colored by hls
partisanship. This is merely matter
of difference in personal opinions
and pertains to things that belong to
past administrations"

the busiest of his Western trip. In
all he stressed the league of nations,
from moral viewpoint and also the
material interests of Nebraskans.
Late today he spoke to a large crowd
at Lincoln in the auditorium and an
overflow gathering outside.
Here ana at Lincoln the governor
expanded on his charges that the re-
dictionary press was biased. He de-
elared today that there was "a de-
liberate and corrupt purpose to keep
the facts from the people, and re
ferring to Republican contributions
coming, he said, from ''big business.
He declared thers was an attempt to
bay up newspapers everywhere"
The jcague was presented as
measu-o FOR peace and prosperity
and G nor Cox reiterated that It
was IL ,sed by "leaders Of every
church. .otestant and Catholic, Jew
and G-ntile, in form, ii principle
and in substance" He repeated at
