PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 21.-Speak-
ing to a crowd of several thousand
persons in the Syria Mosque here
Thursday night, Governor James M.
Cox, Democratic candidate for the
presidency. gave to the country evil
dence which, he claims, substantiates
his charge that the Republicans are
subscribing a "slush fund" Of at least
S15,OO0,00 to "buy the presidency"
The Democratic candidate declared
at the outset that he would offer as
his proof nothing except Republi-
can evidence-"official documents"
which came from Republican head
quarters.
Specifically, he then produced what
he termed an official quota list" dis
tributed at a meeting of the Republi-
can ways and means committee in
Chicago. carrying quotas for 81 cities,
aggregating $S,145,0O0.
In addition, he read from reports,
which. he declared, were taken from
the official bulletin" published by
F. W. Upham. of Chicago, treasurer
of the Republican national commit
tee, setting forth the assignments and
subscriptions to quotas of cities,
towns and counties in a number of
states not included in the Chicago
quota list.
Justification is Claimed
The additional quotas and subscrip-
tions were not tabulated nor tOtaled
by Governor Cox, but he contended
that they fully justified his cha rye
that the fund sought by the Republi-
cans would amount to at least $15.-
0OO, 900.
He placed great stress on what he
said were reports from local leaders
in charge of collecting the quotas.
