 On the question of keeping secret all local subscriptions, Governor Cox quoted from the official bulletin, of August 16 as follows:
 "The names and amounts subscrib- ed by local donors should not be made public locally"
 Assess Benefits
 q hereby give it wide and non-ex- elusive publicity" he continued, "but why were the republicans to be only the organ of the secret society? Wry were names of local contributors not to be made known was it because each contribution would carry it's own meaning to the voters in the local communities, or if secrecy were guar Ianteed in the communities, were Mir. Hays and MT. Upham to do the same thing in submitting their returns on box office receipts? I certainly think there is some reason. What is it ? The public is entitled to know. If MT. Hays and MT. Upham do not come forward with the information, the re- publican national committee ought to remove them both and insist upon q clean bill of health"
 Furthermore, there should be some explanation of this being made purely business affair, participated in by business men only. Unexplain- ed, it carries it's own condemnation and exposes the purpose of the whole shameful business. It means that the quota is to be assessed against those who are to benefit and that the can tains of industry who have answered MT. Hays roll call are submitting tc taxation with understanding that they will have representa- tion" e,
 The quota plan, Governor Cox charged, was approved by Chairman Hays and Treasurer Upham, and also, he added, it received endorsement from higher source.
 Quoting from message" writ ten by Senator Harding in the Of ficial Bulletin of August 5, Gov ernor Cox said Senator Harding ex- pressed gratitude for "the enthus- iasm shown" in raising the campaign fund.
 "That MT. Harding is acquainted even with the details, is evidenced by subsequent passage" said Gov ernor Cox, which is as follow:
 Through the fine work of your or ganization, we are nearing that form of political patriotism which ex- pressed itself in support from ev- cry county, every state. Therefore, l want all members of your organiza- ton to feel that their efforts are es- sential to our success in planning for national enlightenment and deeply appreciated by me-" gs
 Governor Cox said he depended wholly for the purpose of proof of his charges" on official documents which came from republican head quarters.
 Besides his statement on republi- can finances, the governor discussed the league of nations and industrial problems, urging the settlement of strikes without the bayonet.
