|, Mr.. Good refers to report by the
United States civil service commits
sion concerning levying OF political
assessments against federal officials
and employees, and then continues:
Let the Senate committee inyesti-
gate and then tell the public how
much money has been raised and is
being raised by these illegal practices
for the election of Cox and F'rapklin
D. Roosevelt. Why have these serious
violations of the law by democratic
officials escaped the attention OF Gov
ernor Cox and Franklin d. Roosevelt? :?
They certainly know or them. They
also know that men high Ia the cun-
ellis OF the democratic national organi-
zation have resorted to other Illegal
practices to raise campaign contri-
buttons.
Let the civil service commission
be called. Let postmasters and gov
ernmcnt employees be called. The
public will be satisfied with nothing
short OF n full and fair investigation,
and when that Investigation is COM
pleted Cox and Franklin ID. Roosevelt
will have a practical application Of
the soundness Of the old adase re-
curing person who seeks an In
vestigation to come with clean
hands"
"Wc'll Nail Cox Faischood."
Its creators own hammer.
VIII Hays, republican national
so declared yesterday
as he announced that he would tell
the senate Investigating committee
where every dollar Of tho republican
fund came FROM" Tho committee will
open It's hearing on the Cox charges
today.
Mr.. Hays added that Candidate
Cox has enabled us to do what we
have been trying to do for a whole
year--acauaint the people with the
fact that we have decentralized giving
for campaign purposes and have
spread 1t over the entire party mem
bership instead OF getting our funds
from one street In one city"
Candidate Cox" continued Mr..
Hays. "has charged that millions have
been paid to the Republican national
committee to buy the presidency. He
is reported as having said that many
are making contributions to the Re-
publican party for thespurpose OF us-
ing the bayonet to settle indurtrial
dufficulties.
Serious Charges, He Says.
"Those are serious charges. Mr..
Cox Is not now In an nldermanic cam
paign In which all sorts OF wild
charges pass unheeded. Tho stake in
this campaign Is the presidency OF the
United States. Mr.. Cox will be given
a chance to prove his charges. but
he cannot do SO because they are
false.
His declarations are an insult to
the thousands Of good citizens who
have aided with small contributions
this popular campaign for funds
with which to elect q Republican
president. The names OF more than
$4,000 contributors will. of course, be
given to the senatorial commission.
That list will be such a condemnation
OF the veraolty and Judgment OF Mr..
Cox that the whole country will know
him.
Incidentally. Mr.. Cox will be given
a chance to explain some OF his own
funds"
