in power when the President has been
and is according to the reports from
the White House, too i'll to talk to
people who want to see him about i'm
portant matters connected with the
welfare of the country. Aside from
this fact this conference was very i'm
portant because it proves beyond any
shadow of doubt, that Woodrow Will
son still dictates what the Democratic
party shall do and that Governor Cox
will simply be tool in his hands, do
ing whatever Mr.. Wilson tells HON to
do. After the conference was over both
President Wilson and Gov Cox issued
statements. These statements show
that Gov. Cox was completely won
over to support the world club plan
Just as President Wilson insists it
should be and just as it has been turn
ed down by the majority of the United
States Senate, many Democratic Sena-
tors included. Gov Cox said he
pledges with all my strength, is elect
ed to give what he promised In
other words, kiddies, Mr. Cox talked
with Mr., Wilson and when he got
through Mr.. Wilson said, in so many
words, that the Governor was entire
ly satisfactory to him. And remem-
Der that no man is satisfactory to
Woodrow Wilson unles she promises
to do and think Just as Woodrow Will
son wants him.
Whether Gov, Cox agreed with the
President about the World Club plan
before he went to see him, | do not
know, but do know that when he got
through he Dl Dagree The President
in his statement said that the Ameri-
can people gave their sons and their
money during the war with the plain
understanding that the world club
plan would be formed and that he
went ahead to start ii so that the
American people MUST accept it Just
as he says it should be. When Gov
Cox went to the White House he was
talking about reservations and when
he left he talked of nothing but the
Wilson league. He may have talked to
the President about various kinds of |
reservations which he thought neces-
sary to keep the twenty-one Demo-
cratic Senators in the party who voted
against the world club. If he did, Mr.. |
Wilson soon changed his mind for him. |
1t must be an awful blow to the Demo- |
Gratis who worked so hard at San |
Francisco to keep Mr.. McAdoo and the |
other men close to the Administration |
from getting the nomination. Most of |
the delegates at San Francisco realiz-
ed that the best thing the Democrats
could do would be to get as far away
from Woodrow Wilson and all his con-
nectsions as possible. Then they NOM
mated Gov. Cox and everybody was
happy. But on Sunday, July IS, all
their happiness faded away when they
eralized that Gov. Cox was going to be
a real Wilson man, even to the extent
of boldly promising to continue his
policies, If he is elected.
Jack, 20 uand Ruth will remember
that last summer we saw what was
called Punch and Judw show. Lit
tie toy people who danced, walked and
acted by being pulled with strings
from behind in the hands of some man
who did the talking. That is exactly
the way this country will be run
should Gov. Cox be our next President
Mr.. Cox would be the Punch and Judy
and Mr.. Wilson would pull the strings
and do the talking.
IF the American people want four
more years of Wilsoiian one1man gov
eminent; if they want the Constitution
o fthe United States again thrown to
the four winds; if they want American
boys sent to every country in the
world to fight the battles of foreign
nations; II they want us made the
laughing stock of the whole world and
to Sc the policies Of the fathers, of
George Washington and Abraham Lin
coin trampled under foot, then they
will vote for Gov. James M. Cox, of
Ohio. The Democratic party is sure to
be overwhelmingly defeated"
