Columbus, Oct i4-Vigorous array
of the forces he declared were in the
opposition ranks was made here to-
night by Gov. Cox. speaking at the
capital in his home state campaign.
That Sen Harding, his Republican
opponent, has behind him 'the most
motley array of questionable groups
and influences that ever were oehind
a candidate-an array that to survey
brings the crimson blush of humilia-
tion to an American" was asserted by
the democratic presidential candidate.
Characterizing the various groups
named as parties" Gov. Cox asserted
that among Sen. Hardings supporters
were the following:
"The reactionary party.
"The pro- German party whose
members opposed our successful pro-
secution of the war.
THE Italian party, whose members
place futile Italian Imperialism over
the interests of this nation.
The low wage party. an organization
with definite understanding that
wages must come down.
"The suppression party, whose mem
bers say or believe that every bit of
progressive thought is to be choked.
The Greek party and the Bulgarian
party. with a common purpose TO
punish those who considered the well
fare of the world superior to the
claims of nationalistic ambition.
The Bayonet party. which believes
martial law is a. solvent for all indus
trial disputes.
''The National Isolation party, whose
oh fc IN coa,.po a,xF0cr, tio yoz;Fio,,
in the world and whose creed is sell
flshness.
''The Liberty Bond Spectators par
ty, now arranging a sudden coup to
the prejudice of the taxpayers.
THE Anti Federal Reserve Act par
ty.
'FThe Profteer party, which seeks to
escape payment of tax on incomes
swollen by war profits.
'fThe Anti-League of Nations party,
possessing a. perfect understanding
with Senator Harding that he is to
scuttle every plan looking to interna-
tional peace.
THE munitions making party, an
organization with a vast propaganda
fund, ready and eager to embroil the
world in fresh wars. 81.
"The Afro American party, whose
hyphenated activity has attempted to
stir up troubles among the negroes
upon false sclaims that it can bring
social equality"
With these arraignments, Gov. Cox
said he had not made a complete list
of the opposition forces, but said that
Sen. Harding was the candidate of
more than dozen groups working
through the present reactionary Repub-
lican leadership" That the party has
been sold to these several designing
parties to be prostituted for this CAM
paign,' was asserted by the governor.
The governor said:
"The campaign for the presidency of
the United States has now reached the
point where it is possible definitely to
get fair appraisment of the forces that
are aligned on either side behind the
candidates. 1t is well to take stock
of these forces and to assess them at
their real worth, patriotic or unpa-
triotic, to measure them as history will
measure them, and to assay them in
the light of pretensions to a monopoly
on Americanism.
"In general. it is not seemly to ques-
tion the forces arrayed behind ones
leading opponent, but | deem this to
be an instance in which there is a
right to examine them carefully, and
| say this because have had no hesi>
fancy in granting to my opponent full
and free opportunity to examine the
forces and influences behind my own

the open convention. as the result Of

room of a hotel suite. and | am per-
fectly willing that the forces endors-
ing my candidacy be examined and
compared with those behind the re-
dictionary candidate as part OF the
issue of this campaign

the groups of forces that have been
aligned rather than the individuals
