COX REMAINS FIRM ON
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS STAND

Dayton, Ohio. Oct. Ex-Governor Cox, the democratic presidential nominee, 1 spent today quietly resting at Trailsend, his home near here, for the final speech of his campaign at Toledo tomorrow night Members of his family were with him most of the day, but late in the af ternoon he tfamped alone through the forest His only political conference, he said was a brief long distance telephone talk with Chairman White at New York In statement tonight the governor asserted that the election of Senator Harding meant that the peace treaty would not be submitted to the senate for l ratification which he added, would re- suit in controversy and confusion" His
 visits to thirty-six states the governor
 declared, convinced him that the senti
 ment of the country favored Americas
 entry into the league.
 The events of the campaign are so
 clear in their significance" said his state-
 n1ent, that the voter who is conscien-
 tious, rather than prejudiced, senses the
 difference between election result
 which means the certain achievement of
 the nations hopes, on the one hand, and continued uncertainty and confusion on the other
 T am in favor of going into the league; Senator Harding is III favor of staying out 1 am concerned about clar- ification; he is concerned about rejection. These are the outstanding words of the
 campaign.
 Senator Harding says he will not sub . init the treaty of peace to the senate as
 it is, but that he will change it. Since
 the president is without the right to make any alteration, this means that he
 will not submit it at all. This will re- ) suit in one thing, and one thing only, in l controversy and confusion
 When the men and women go into g the voting booths, it is their duty to re- 3 member the pledge that was given in the = name of America and it is proper at this l time to ask whether we are going to
 maintain the nations honor
 e The happiness of our people is de- = pendent in part upon their opportunity tc
 labor. Therefore, our prosperity as il l. Is to be affected in financial affairs, is a
 vital consideration. The chaotic state oi : things. in a part of the world cannot gc a on much longer without the backwasf r striking the very fceidations of oul l. commercial institutions. Unless we E, a into the league of nations there is nc n guarantee against the waste of resources d in the maintenance of armies and navies j. and unless this waste is halted, nationa
 credit overseas is out of the question. h T have faith in the conscience O e America It haE given a pledge that i Il did not redeem and no great moral ques $ ton has ever failed when it was submit
 ted to the judgment of the people. If W s turn our thoughts to the graves of tn. e S1,O00 brave American boys who no, le sleep in Europe our souls tell us what t sd do. The highway of civilization is line
 with the maimed and disabled. If W nt assemble the philanthropic heart of tn D. world and mold it into a concrete move es ment of helpfulness, our duty will hay
 been done. Otherwise, the morality ( to nations has failed.
 IT Suffering humanity waits upon tn t. voice of America. The verdict of No, Se smber End means joy or despair, worlc e. Vide''
