WHEELING. w. Va. Aug. a.
Gov. Cox to-day opened fire on his
Republican opposition. charging its
leadership with ATTEMPTED trickery''
OF the American people In opposing
the League OF Nations. and with con-
ducting a campaign behind a Smoke
screen" to secure partisan spoils.
The Governor loosed his attack in
an addreas here Mt the West Virginia
Democratic Convention. It wns his
first vigorous assault on the Repub-
licons and was to be followed to-
night by another address made 20 the
general public,
Although advocacy of the League
Of Nations. which the Governor de-
clared was the greatest mo vement
OF Righteousness In the history of the
world" was the main theme OF the
Democratic candidates address, he
also attacked again the Republican
Senatorial oligarchy." The Demo-
Gratis, he added, present a cause of
constructive, progressive, economic
service In peace" and promise def
nitely a saving of $4,000, ,000,0 900 an
nually in Government expenses.
"A grave responsibility rests with
the Democratic Party" said Gov. Cox.
Through it's policies and conduct Il
must render good faith in behalf OF
the Nation, of the soldiers OF the war.

achieve victory. II is not q partisan

a contest for the triumph OF n po-
iitIcal party. II iB purely matter OF
concluding q duty to civilization, and
doing II as quickly as prudent con-
aideration of our country's interests
suggests.
"Loadership In a great moral ques-
ton has been given to the Oclnoc-
racy, for the simple reason that tho
Senatorial oligarchy, which for the
time being has assumed control of
the Republican Party, has abandoned
the idealism OF other days.
I'VE shall not alone make appeal
to the electorate by contrasting the
rules of economic thought that have
prevailed in the past, but we shall
call attention to the delinquent atti-
tude In which this country has been
placed by Senatorial intrigue and TO

without continuing months OF useless

"A powerful combination OF inter
ests Is now attempting to buy Govern

lions and millions OF dollars into q

used the future alone can tell. We
do know It Is being employed now 10
arouse racial discomfort, 70 breed un-
rest and 20 befog tho public mind,
The movement is based upon greed
and selfshness, and II successful will
result in an extreme reaction and a

The proposal OF the Democrats &c
cut 81, ,Oo0, 900, 900 from Federal AK

against its multiplication many times
in 'iilegal profits" and high hvina
