IS LAID TO G.. O. P.
BY GOVERNOR COX

SOUTH BEND. Ind, Aug. 90
Charges that at least $15,O0O,OOO are
being contributed to the Republican
campaign fund by selfish interests
were made Thursday by Governor
Cox, Democratic presidential candi-
date, during the course Of two ad-
dresses opening the Indiana Demo
cratic campaign.
"That is it's low mark" he said,
"and the sky apparently is the linn
it. In Ohio 100000 was raised in
the twinkling of an eye. They have
subdivided America into seven dis
tricts and influential men represent

passing the hat. They are trying
to buy a governmental 'underholt:
It is a mere bagatelle compared with
what the contributors expected to
get back
He spoke to a crowd of several
thousand on the courthouse square,
attended banquet of the Indiana
Democratic Editors association and
addressed another large crowd at the
Coliseum.
With Republican campaign fund a
special object of the governors at
tack, he declared Wall street inter-
ests were planning to "emasculate"
the federal reserve act, in event of
a Republican victory, by providing
that bankers only shall be eligible
to a federal reserve board member
ship to secure power over credits
and interest rates.
Governor Cox also urged federal
regulation of packers and other cold
storage concerns with time limits
for storage of foodstuffs.
To his audience of editors, com

gave his views on the print paper
situation, urging re-fores tration in
Weighing against print paper COM

and panic has contributed to the pa

supervision. He also took sharp ex-
ception to Senator Harding's depre-
citation of the disappearance of po-
litical organs. Urging an 'inde-
pendent press" Governor Cox said
Senator Harding's was "a dangerous
proposal" Suggesting control of pa
pers by the senate oligarchy."

Auditors from the firm Of Alonzo

purpose of making an audit of the

report is made the extent of Mr..

matter of conjecture. although Mr..
Crook stated that he confidently ex-
pected the amount would not be as
large as had been rumored.
Mr.. Welch conducted a large ware
house business for the storage of
cotton. and hundreds of farmers Of
this section hold storage receipts for
cotton deposited with him. It is be-

their claims will be filed along with

soon as an audit can be made. a full
statement will be given the press
