KANSAS PRESS COMMENT
To Governor Cox

NJ PAOoS agents nave DeSu around
here telling US not to print your
speeches. We did print one, when
you visited Wilson and said:
eve are of one accord, that was
enough Winifred Courier.
When meeting the Democratic ma
tional solicitor it viii be poor policy
to flash a roll OF $1,000 in bills if one
means to donate only $500. Mr..
Gerard says the Democratic rule is to
'take all in sight Salina Journal.
When Senator Harding speaks in
favor of an era OF business stability
and common sense handling OF public
problems, his words are impressive
because the type of campaign the Re
publican eandidatet is making has led
the country to believe his admins
tration would be sound and benef-
cial. Nothing irresponsible or nl-con-
sidered has come off the Harding
front porch In contrast with the an
tics and by-pIay of Governor Cox,
Senator Harding has thought deeply
and spoken seriously on questions
with which the next administration
will be concerned. That is the type
of man the country viii be glad to
have as its next president, and for
this good reason the Harding cam
paign is gaining momentuu every
day.-Lawrence Journal-World.
81 believe now as have always be-
lieved, that when the San Francisco
convention drafted the league of ma
tiOns as its leading issue, it drafted
disaster. I believe that the covenant
of the league of nations as drafted
at Versailles and urged by the Pres
ident is a lien on the life of every
young man in America. I went to
my political grave on that very issue.
1 might have been renominated if I
had yielded on that issue, but I re-
fused to yield, even to bring about
my own denomination Senator
Gore (Democrat).
Mr.. Cox is conceded to be a good
campaign speaker, in this, that he
tells his audiences more things that
are not so than any other speaker on
the stump.
Washington c. H. (Ohiol Republ-
cana campaign of loose talk,
based on insineerity and eliminating
in improved charges, is not a cam
paign that commends itstelf to Amer
lean voters. 1t is. however, the sort
of campaign which Governor Cox is
waging.
Salem (Oregon) Statesman.-The
Republican Party offers the country
an administration based on sound
principles TO succeed an era of waste,
extravaganza and amateur tinkering.
There is no doubt what the judgment
of the people viii be.
WANTED.-The name and ad-
dress of nay Republican who voted
for Hughes in 1916 but is going to
vot efor Cox in 1920. This is a ser
ious advertisement and we trust any
one who is able to answer 1t viii not
hesitate TO do so.-Iola Register.
The Wilson administration spent
SIG, 100000 for poison gas during
the war, none of It reaching the bat
tie front. Probably 1t IS this left
over material that Governor Cox is
using IN his present campaign--Na-
tional Republican.
Mark Sullivan, a former editor of
Golfers, says Governor Cox's brain,
personality and voice constitute prac-
tieally all there is of the Democratic
campaign" Isn't that a little hard
on Franklin D.?-Detroit Free Press.
When Candidate Cox declares he's
ready to fight, meaning he wants to
mix up IN European wars, what he
really means is he's ready to send the
young manhood Of the country now
wearing service stripes over there
again. Think it over.-Nashua N.
H.) Telegraph.
