COX ATTACKS
TAT rs STAND
Democratic Presidential Cam
didate Adopts New Line of
Attack Upon Taft.

BY The Associated Prsss
q VAN VERT, Ohio, Oct. 14:-A
new line of attack upon former
President Taft's position upon the
league of nations was made here to-
day by Governor Cox in opening a
three days campaign in his home
state today.
Referring to Mr.. Taft's statement
: that "even in event of Governor
Cox's election there would remain
enough Republican senators to de-
feat the treaty" the Democratic
candidate today stated this indicated
q plan to disregard a decision in the
"league referendum"
This can mean only one thing"
said Governor Cox; that when /
am elected on straightforward
platform favoring the league it is
the purpose of the brazen conspira-
tors of the senate to treat the man
date of the people with contempt
and turn their back on the express
: ed will of the electorate. This in
E the first place is unthinkable and
in the second place will not be per-
mitted, for after all this is a democ-
racy and the will of tie people is
triumphant.
"On the other hand" the COVER
nor continued, "if the candidate of
the senatorial oligarchy were to be
blected because he favors staying out
Of the league, and then after his as
Bumption of office were to turn about
face and propose entering the league,
what about the popular mandate and
the referendum then? What would
Borah and johnson say and what
would the voters of the country think
about such Reputation of their will
The time is now for us to remind our
selves and think seriously of the fact
that the government of the United
States is a government by the peo-
pie. Senator Harding may be will
ing to scrap the league but the Amer
tcan people are not ready to have
their government scrapped by a de-
ceitful band of political hooters"
Governor Cox reiterated that he
favored going into the league of ma
tions with the Hitchcock reservation
or any other reservations that are
offered in good faith to further clart-
fy or reassure and do not have the
pupose of destruction.
TT has been apparent" the Cover
nor continued, that the entire pur-
pose of the senatorial clique has been
destruction of the league and repudia-
ton of the purposes for which we
entered the war.
America has forty million voters
who are getting sick and tired of the
purposely created doubt and un-
Certainty and who now demand to
know whether Senator Harding in
tends, as ex-President Taft has i'm :
piled, to repudiate the doubt of the
Solemn referendum in the forthcom-
ing election on the greatest issue ever
before the people.
ssIn every CITY and village from the
Atlantic to the Pacific the people
are holding indignation meetings to
show their resentments against the
clique and against the candidates
that have shown their willingness to
sacrifice the honor of the nation to
win a partisan victory at the polls.
Here we have a proposal of Senator
Harding that we play with the
Fundamental rights of the American
people and disregard their purpose
As expressed in election"

ing to the plain intent of such stat

charged with the interests of the
public, might have a measure of con-
troll over the service to be rendered

They have, knowing the facts. in
fixing rates and valuations, employ
ed, experts who are unduly biased,
and committed to the corporations
point of view.
They have disseminated between
corporations in granting promptly
the applications of the Public Ser
vice Gas Company and the Public
Service Electric Company and the
Public Service Railway Company for
increased rates. within a few weeks
after the said applications were
MADE, Wnlle the case of the New
York Telephone Company. which
was closed in December of last year,
Is still undecided"
The governor says at the outset of
his decision that there is nothing
to the contention raised by counsel
for the Utility Board that he is ex-
ercising unconstitutionally judicial
right in trying the Public Utility
Board. He cites precedents to prove
his right to hear the case and re-
move the board, and quotes former
Justice Hughes of the United States
supreme court in this connection.
Following is the letter which the
governor sent to each of the ousted
utility board members: you will
please take notice that / have
found and determined that you are
guilty of neglect of duty and miscon-
duct in office as member of the
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers of this state and for this reason
have and do now remove you from
such Office. A copy of the conclu-
sion so reached by me is enclosed"

CHANCERY COURT ACTION
AGAINST BURNRITE co

Through a bill of complaint filed
in the court of chancery yesterday
against the Burnrite Coal Briquette
Company. a Delaware corporation,
with principal Office and plant In
Newark and a branch in this ity, 1t
is expected that what is described
in the bill as "an extensive stock
selling scheme" entered upon by the
Burnrite and allied corporations will
come under scrutiny. The stock
selling is alleged to be based largely
upon the alleged value of certain
patents and secret processes which
the corporation named claims 20
own, but which according to the
bill are the inventions of George j.
Mashek of Newark, president of the
Mashek Engineering Company, conf
plainant in the action.
Vice Chancellor Backes, on the
strength of 'he allegations contained
in the bill and a number of support
ing affidavits, granted an order di-
recting the Burnrite Coal Briquss to
Company of New Jersey, the Burh-
rite Coal Briquette Company OF
Delaware. the Burnrite Coal Bri-
quette Engineering Company of
New York, Francis NJ. Crossman,
vice president and general manager
OF the Delaware Coal Briquette
Company and William II. Friend to
show cause next Tuesday why they
should not be enjoined from further
exploitation of the patents and Sc
cret processes pending determina-
tion of the suit.
The bill is based upon a contract
attached as an exhibit. pursuant to
which the complainant company
constructed the plant of the Burn
rite Company in Newark at the con-
tract price of s26,250. The bill sets
forth that only s17,730.70 has beer
paid and there is still due a balance
which the said defendant has failed
and refuses to pay" An action tc
enforce payment has been brought
in Essex County Circuit Court.
