 OhiOan

Canton, O., Aug. 21.-Labor prob- lems, the league of nations and re- publican campaign contributions were featured by Governor Cox in an address here tonight and also at an afternoon meeting at Orrville. Ohio.
 Settlement of industrial controver- sy by force of public opinion instead | of the bayonet, while order is main- tained and neither side to contro- | versy aided by the government, was urged by the democratic presidential candidate here tonight at the audi torum. The labor issue was em- rhasized in this industrial commu- nity in which Governor Cox figured during the steel strike last fall for refusing to send troops and also by removing u democratic mayor. "Large interests are contributing to the republican campaign funds," Governor Cox declared, "because they i want to buy an administration un- der which soldiers and the bayonet will be used to settle difficulties"
 That $15,0O0,00O will be the How mark" of the republican campaign fund, while the democrats will be as "poor as Jobs turkey" was assert ed by Governor Cox, who said that his campaign fund charge had not been denied. He challenged denial and promised to present evidence of his charges.
 On the league issue, Governor Cox declared, that "there cannot be an economic readjustment in America until things are tied together in oth- CT parts of the world,". and reiter- ated arguments that America should enter the league to "keep faith with American soldiers and the allies. He denounced a separate peace with Germany as "bad faith, base dishon- or and desertion of the allies"
 Industrial Peace.
 Reply also was made by Governor Cox in his Orville speech to street crowd from an automobile truck to the address of Senator Harding, his republican opponent. in which MT. Harding defended the senate.
 Governor Cox said MT. Harding failed to distinguish between the sem ate as an institution and the group of republican senators, who the demo- cratic nominee said have formed domineering, arrogant oligarchy" which is trying "to annex the presi- dcncy."
 In discussing the labor question, Governor Cox declared that the gov ernment "must preserve person and protect property"
 "It must maintain law and order" he said, "being careful that neither side to the dispute procures the. afs vantage of it's favor.
 "Both labor and capital should understand that force must surrender it's place to calm reason. The fu- ture of the country demands it, in fact, and the future of the world n we'll.
 industrial controversies are mere ly human affairs. Experience tells us that the bitterness which ordinar- fly is engcndered grows out of twc circumstances. First, the belief a sharp bargain is being sought eith- CT through attempted oppression er the favoring conditions of financial strength. Second, is the attempt which is too often successful to bring into the dispute the force of governs ment, not for the purpose of main- taining order, but to bring an end tr the strike.
 "There is no symptom of present tendencies more in evidence than the eagerness of some industrial cap- tains to entrench themselves in the favor and gratitude of public offi- cers, with the very definite idea that force can be invoked, if occasion arises to compel settlements. Such policy is the mere manufacturing plan of bolshevism."
 Governor Cox emphasized the feet that during his six years as gover- nor no soldier bullet had been fired in an industrial dispute.
 Turning to the republican eam- paign funds, the democratic nominee said that it was apparent that th0se < who believe in force are represeht~ cd in the list of contributors"
 Giant Slush Fund.
 "Camp followers are gathering by hundreds" the governor deciareas "W!hole armies of them are beine massed in pivotal states, where tne slush fund will make the Mark H4n- na days suffer by comparison. MAny organizations formed during the war; doubtless, certainly allegedly. 4ex patriotic purposes, are being taken over, insofar as the officers are Abte to do so. The American DefeneeA society has now been turned by so11e of it's officers into political at4 and part of the campai9n 1e7 will be used to render it but anoen agency of hypocrisy and decelt
