HARDING CREED
ONE OF SELF|SHNESS
SAYS GOVERNOR cox
Sounds Ringing Truths in the
Ears Of Forty Thousand Vot-
ers of Kentucky.
FINDS MUCH SENTIMENT
FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Special Dispatch 10 Every Evening
By Louis Seiboid.

louisville. Ky, Oct. 9.-''To preach
such a gospel Of selfishness Is an offense TO
the decency Of America"
This was the retort made by Governor
Cox before tremendous gathering Of
Louisville Democrats, last night, 70 the
creed Of Senator Harding America
and America only.
The deuunciation of the revised Hard
ing program by his opponent was eheered
for more than FIVE mi1utes. Ii was de-
liyered as the climax to eleven speeches
made by MIR Cox to gatherings aggregat-
ing 10000 persons that fiocked to the
railway train from their harvesting OF
bountiful crops and from desk and fac
tory bench.
All dav long the Democratic candl-
date turned his verbal guns directly on
his opponent. He seemed TO find genuine
pleasure in finally having forced Senator
Harding TO take definite stand on the
supreme issue of the campaign, though he
gave the credit for the achievement 10
''irreconcilabic" Senator Borah
More than once during his speeches
in which he warned his hearer that four
..reactionarIes would be appointed 10
the Supreme Court in the event OF Re
publican success and pledged himself to
urge the repeal of the excess profits tax,
the Democratic candidate taunted hls
rival with surrendering 70 the Borsh
group.
DENoUNCFs AMERICA ONLY CREED
His Characterization of that surrendei
before the wholly sympathetic audience
that cheered hum last night was couched
in these direct and comprehensive phrases
Under the pressure OF threat from
Senator Borah, the Senatorial candidate
for the Presidency Is DOW out IN the open
and his creed is America and America
only
''To use his words, we must consecrate
ourselves To the wei are of America and
not the rest of the oTld.'
Must we forget that we are stlli
part of the world, the dominion over
which is in the hands of God. Even the
Senatorial oligarchy can't promise us
new world Of our own.
IF We ere to 1--we commercially, we
have to trade with Others. If We are
To cut our products TO our own con-
sumption the mere adoption of that
policy would carry us back fifty years
industrially But there is something
more than the practical side. Are we
to close our souls against every thought
of sympathy and help and leadership!
Are We 10 say We have no interest In Ire
land, nor Germany, nor Austria, mol
Russia, nor Poland, nor the other nations
OF the world struggling for democracy
Are we TO close our eyes to the picture Of

Raymond Webb, Accused of
Attempt to Kill, Quietly
Disappear.
ESCAPED LAST NIGHT
FROM PRISON FARM

Frank Richards and Raymond Webb,
both of Millsboro, who We're serving time
at the workhouse, escaped from the prison
farm last night.
Although search was instituted for
them AT once, and the workhouse authori-
ties are hopeful of coming up with them,
both men were still at large at noon TO-
day. 1t was not known definitely IN what
direction they went, or whether both
went IN the same direction.
They had been working with a dozen
other prisoners on Delcastle farm, which
is connected with the workhouse. but
which is about two miles distant. They
were under guard, Deputy Warden David
81 Ward being In charge Of the farm force.
The men escaped from the bunkhouse,
where all had reported at the evening
meal between and O'Clock Richards
and Webb were missed about o'Mloc,
but nobody appears to have seen them
leave The alarm was Immediately gwen
and the police of Wilmington and other
cities joined the workhouse force IN the
search.
Richards was serving four and half
years for manslaughter, and ms tune
would have been out on July 8, 1921
He was accused of killing a man with a
bottle. Webb was serving FIVE years on
the charge Of attempted murder and had
only four months to serve to complete his
,entenoe. Both men We're considered good
prisoners and they were good farm
workers as well.
The escape of these two men makes
five who have gotten away since Warden
Plumner took charge on April IL, 1920.
During that time 110 prisoners have been
dismissed. of whom l07 obtained jobs
outside and are now at work. Three have
returned TO the worl1house and are await
ing trial. One hundred convicts are work
ing on the outside OF the FIVE who have
