 the former President stronghold was in that territory beyond the Mississippi river
 In the beginning it was anticipated that
 the democrats would have smoothly running machine with the shrewd poiiti- clans comprising the officeholders fur nisning the nucleus. But these officehold- CTS who in the San Francisco convention supported the candidacy of W. G. Nc Adoo and A. Mitchell Palmer, have not rallied to the standard of Governor Cox
 The democratic candidate has indicated that he will favor the institution of a new deal in the event of his election He has promised the farmers a dirt farmer for Secretary of Agriculture. and has de- clared that for a Secretary of the ln- teror he would go to the great west. This has caused many individuals of the officeh olding class to conclude that their 0C4A their jobs. At any rate, practically all of them are doing nothing.
 Even the Presidents cabinet has not shown the alertness that it was thought it would show. This may or may not be due to the fact that Cox has refused to make Wilsonism the exclusive issue.
 Further bearing out the above is the remarkable contrast between republican and democratic publicity. Once a week the democrats issue a small page or 'nA formation from Washington, and a strag glng story, bearing on Cox's record while governor of Ohio from New York.
 On the other hand the republicans each night send out prepaid newspaper story by telegraph from Chicago; twice week a live, we'll written, highly colored news paper page from New-Y ork; twice week an equally well done page devoted to women and once a week a page setting forth highly partisan editorial comment culled from favorable newspapers.
 This contrast in publicity is perhaps due to the fact that the republicans have the money, have obtained the money, as Cox has it, and the democrats have not Nevertheless, there is no question but that it is effective. And thus the question arises: Can Cox, with justice on his side, win the fight single-handed?'
