A statement issued Sunday by
Gov. Cox reviewing his western
campaign described il as "a wonder
full trip-with just one rainy day"
Declaring that the western people
are independent" the governors
statement said in part:
They realize the last month Just
what the maintained reactionary
propaganda has meant The thing
they resent most is the deliberate
Withholding Of the facts bearing
upon present conditions. They have
developed a feeling approaching
real bitterness against the senatorial
OligarChy.
Turn In Road
Following the war, with all Of
its disturbing elements, there is no
question but what there was a feel
ing that a turn in the road was de
sirable and a political change was
generally discussed. The voters
however are realizing i'm the west
that the political change which they
had IN mind the rc-intrenchment Of
the same old gang that Roosevelt
drove out in 1912. The patronizing
attitude of the senatorial oligarchy
has offended the west and the plan
Of making the people come TO the
senatorial front porch has developed
into a comedy before we reached
the coast
"In communities. large and small.
paid emissaries from republican ma
/ tional headquarters are actually
| tramping on each others toes Ap-
parently every camp follower in
America is on the payroll. Evidence
Of the expenditure Of money is so
apparent that there is no longer a
doubt about the alliance between
big business, grasping profiteers and
the senatorial oligarchy."
