CHAIRMAN WHITE RAPS
6. 0. P. PROP AGAADA
Issues Statement in Connection
With Visit Of Travelling
Men to Marion.

New York, Sept. 27.--Georgc White,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, in connection with the pill
grimage of delegation of Republican
travelling statesmen to Senator Harding's
front porch Saturday, issued statement to
disprove what MIR. White asserted was
an attempt by the Republican National
Committee to represent the Democratic
presidential nominee as unfriendly 10
commercial travellers.
He said that six years ago Governor
Cox had made known his belief that travel
ing statesmen had made possible the pres
ent development of Americas commercial
markets.
"The immediate occasion for tins est
mate of the part travelling statesmen have
played In our supremacy IN world trade
was Governor Cox's disavowal of an edi-
tonal derogatory to travelling statesmen
published IN the Dayton News IN August,
1914, without Governor Cox s. kno wledgo"
said Mr.. White.
"The editorial was full Of exaggeratlon
and entirely out of lne with the we'll
known and proved sympathies of Govern
or Cox, who promptly tolegraphed the
managing editor of the News, demanding
immediate retractlon of tho editorial over
the signature of the writer Of IT. THIS was
done.
Although tho editorial writer sevcred
his relations with tho Dayton News I'M
mcdIately after his public apology the
Republican National Committee has re-
printed the offending editorial in an effort
to misropresent Governor Coxs attitude
toward tho travelling salesmen of the
country"
