GOVERNOR COX PROVES HE
Is A oNE-LUNa CANDIDATE

"Uncle Ted,'' said Jack, who had
just returned from the movies where
be had seen a news picture showing
Governor Cox making speech in Min
nesota, 81 saw Governor Cox in the
movies tonight and there wasn't a
hand clap in the place, except one fell
low way over in dark corner who
hit his hands together as if he was
afraid somebody would hear it. Maybe
they we're all Republicans except him,
but it seemed funny and it made me
wonder if the people everywhere act
that way"
"Well, jack answered his uncle,
"what you witnessed at the movies
may have been because of the fact
that people applaud moving pictures
much less than they did during the
war, but it opens up a thought I have
had ever since Governor Cox started
on his speaking tour. In every big
political campaign many things are
said back and forth that woud never
be said by the same men were it not
for the fact that they were battling
for office. but in most presidential
battles we have seen that, the men
BIG enough to be above the petty,
cheap and mean things of politics, 90
that no matter which man might be
elected the country would be fairly
safe in believing that either man
would make strong guiding hand at
the head of the nation. But Mr. Cox
has shown that he is NOT BIG man
because his speeches havesbeen full to
OVERLOOKING of the pettiest and cheap
est statements a man could possibly
make. The only thing he seems to be
able to do is to state over and over
again that those who oppose him are
telling things that are not true and he
uses the words Iie' and 'falsehood
with no apparent regard for what the
result may be.
"Governor Cox has charged over
and over again that the manager, of
the Republican campaign have raised
or are trying to raise a fund of 49,
900 with which to buy an under
hold on the government. He alone is
responsible for these statements, for
all of his managers say they know
nothing about it. They say they be-
lieve he will make good in proving
his charges. He has no made good
yet and he has not appeared before
the senate committee that is invest-
stead of proving his charges, he goes
| right on and continues to reveal his
small mind and the petty tactics he Is
compelled to use in his fight for the
presidency
"Why doesn't he talk about some
thing else.' asked Ruth.
"That is the question hundreds of
thinking Americans are asking them
selves these days, Ruth. If Governor
Cox had any real argument in favor
of his stand for the World Club he
would certainly be telling the people
about it. If the World Club plan is
such n fine thing for the United States
as he says it is after talking with
Woodrow Wilson, why doesn It he
prove it to the people? He can't do
it. That is the answer. He can't do
it, He knows just as well as do we.
that Article X of the World Culb plan
means that in every war in Europe the
United States would have to do the
fighting and furnish the money. He
knows that it would mean the main.
tanning of an army by the United
States to fight the battles of the Euro
peon diplomats with no thought AS to
the cause or the nation the army might
be fighting for, or how many Ameri-
cans might be killed or MANNED for
life. Governor Cox can't answer that
sort Of thing and he KNOWS 1T, and
that is the main reason he has tried to
get thu attention of he people on an
unproven charge that the Republicans
are spending more money than they
should.'
