GETTING UNDER THE HIDE"

AS Governor Cox progresses in his canvass for
the presidency he is camping the trail of his adj
versary, and is carrying campaign which is
described delighting his audiences, arousing them
70 the greatest enthusiasm. He does it by seeking
she vulnerable points in the Of his adversary,
piercing them deftly and effectively In his assault
on the big republican slush fund Governor Cox has
get them prevarcating, explaining and denying with
result that the matter is before the Senate investi
eating committee at Chicago in such way that Gov
ernor Coxs charges are being corroborated from
day to day: and United States Attorney Cline is
about to institute an investigation in the federal
court
In Montana Governor Cox has been ventlating
Senator Harding's attitude in the matter of the
League of Nations; and he has charged the Repub-
lican nominee with v&cillaton and continual facing
in different directions that important issue. At
Great Falls Montana Wednesday he charged that
Senator Harding has veered from point to point un-
ill he has committed himself in less than eight diff
ferent ways. To quore Governor Cox:
Senator Hardings positions have been as fol.
lows:
"1-In the senate voted with the mild reserva-
tionists.
ON the senate, advocated and voted for the
Lodge reservations.
o-ln the ser aCe supported the Knox resolution
for separate peace with Germany.
4-Nonlinated on platform which declared
the League af Nations has signally failed
"5-Speech Of acceptance, proposed separate
peace with Germany and new relationship of "a
tons to be established by him and the scrappng of
the league
"6-August g. speech, an entirely new pan-the
resurrection of the dead Hague tribunal under which
there occurred the Russo-Japanese, the Boer the
Balkan and the Great World war;
"7-Speech of September 6th-"The League has.
now passed beyond the possibility of restoration
"8-Same speech (September g., Amendment or
revision of reconstruction of the league covenant is
stle among the possibilities"
Senator Hardjngs record in that particular re-
calls that familiar trick on the observation-disclosures
stage, where the performer produces a bottle and
draws any kind of liquor individuals may ask;
Whisky. brandy gin, port, claret, and even milk.
With effective irony Governor Cox presented
that phase of Hardng's record and proposed Joint
debate at Marion on the famous from porch, between
two of Hardings supporters. 1t is so good that we
reproduce it as follows.
LET us not FORGE in this connection, that Re-
pubicans of all shades Of opinion this subject have
visited Marion and without exception, whether the
guest favored the League opposed the League, he
invariably reported to the press that he endorsed
Senator Hardings position stated to him in
ferences. All this would be aughable if it were not
80 tragic. 4... 4..<t .-e.e..,n.
"It is important that definite decision come
out OF Marion. Ir this connection | have sugges-
ton which is that Senator Johnson who is against
any KIND OF League and eX-PreSident Taft who
has Endorsed the present League conduct joint
debate on the front porch at Marion and that Senator
Harding render decision which will be not only his
decision bu his final decision"
Surely that is "getting under the hide" in great
