OF course, Candidate Cox fails to
prove his charges, This Is simply be-
cause his charges are false.
He says millions have been put into
the Republican national committee By
sinister Influences to corrupt the cleo
torate. He first is reported to have
said hundred million. Then Secre-
tary Roosevelt said s3O,OOO,0oO. Then
Candidate Cox said $15,000.O00. while
now Candidate Cox says SS00oO00
HE attempts 70 prove this by quot
ing from the official bulletin of the
ways and means committee of the Re-
publican national committee. a pamph-
let published every few days and sent
broadcast over the country to party
members and TO newspapers, all to in,
eli inf ~
from an alleged quota sheet, whica
he cI''ms indicates the amounts to be
raised in certain cities, which he does
not even charge was adopted or any
affirmation had Hereunder
Candidate Cox, himself a million
ARE, has had such intimate knowledge
of the wasting of millions in aircraft
production in his state, and Secretary
Roosevelt has had such an intimate
knowledge of the burning of billions
by the administration of which he has
been an important part, that these
men dream in millions
They shall have an opportunity ia
Chicago 80 prove this insult to the
thousands of good citizens all over the
country which are counted in the Re-
publican party.
Incidentally, they will have
chance next week to indicate the
source Of their own money"
