Accusing the Saturday Evening

minds" of people, Governor Cox is
sued the following statement:
Propaganda is not effective when
it is labelled, but in the guise of facts
it strangles the truth and moulds the
minds into which it is introduced as
facts. The American people discover
ed this during the war and finally
they put upon disloyal propaganda
the label which destroyed it.
Il am Just now In possession of
specimen ofgpropsganda of this very
sort. 1t is an advance copy of the
Saturday Evening. Post, best known
to great public. as a disinterested
journal. In all its history its stated
purpose has been to present the facts
and atmosphere of political situations
and to refrain from controversial po-
sitions. In this spirit, the Saturday
Evening Post has been admitted as
counsellor and friend into millions of
American homes.
'But the number of this magazine
which is to be distributed next Thurs
day, the last number before election,
suddenly throws off the cloak of nom
partisanship. For the first time in
its history it resorts to the devices
of partisan editorial and insidious
cartoons to create sentiment for
the Republican ticket. In the car
toons / am represented as a news
boy, inventing false and sensational
happenings for the purpose of selling
my wares. My opponent is depicted
, as windy and wise The impression
is sought to be created that / am
| irresponsible Senator Harding
grave and reliable
''Why has the Saturday Evening
Post done this? Why has it betray-
ed it's mission at the list minute of
the eleventh hour of this campaign?
the people know the answer. 1t has
done the thing because its owner is
one of the plutocratic group which
knows what it wants of the next adj
ministration and how to get it from
the syndicate which controls Senator
| Harding. It has done this because
| its owner is the head of the movement
which has sought subsidy from the
government for the delivery of ma
tional magazines.
'fThe Saturday Evening Post has
imposed on the confidence of the
American people, won by a long rec
ord of on-partisanship, and has
become Republican journal because
the profteers who escape gvoern-
ment taxes by diverting to it millions
of their revenue. in advertising. want
my opponent elected.
''Those subscribers who. in good
faith. have admitted this journal to
their homes all over the United States
win turn its yenai counsels out Of
doors"
