Sweeping Toward Cox

r HE confident claims OF Democratic cam
paigners who are keeping in close touch
with political developments in the closing
days of the campaign, that the trend away
from Harding and toward Cox is growing
so rapidly to assume the proportions OF

strangely supported by Louis Seibold, who is
generally recognized as one of the closest
political observers and most accurate fore
casters OF election results of the times.
AS Mr.. Seibold diagnoses the situation,
Republican claims of victory are based SOLE
ly on conditions which existed three weeks
ago. when 1t seemed that they could not
lose, but since that time there has como
into evidence a marked change in public
opinion. resulting from Republican breaks"
which has manifested itself in a surprising
recrudescence of popular interest and APP

toward Cox, he says, developed after the
DeS MoineS speech OF Senator Harding, and
became even more emphatic as the Rcpub-
lican candidate was enmeshed in confu
sion OF ideas no amount Of explanation has
succeeded in disspating.
AT this juncture of the Republican nom-
nee's discontinue, both Governor Cox and
the President launched n very aggressive
campaign to arouse the moral conscience
OF voters to the support OF the league of
nations, and this campaign has met with
wonderful response. The whole country
has awakened to the soundness of the APP
peal and is taking it up with the fervor
of religious crusade. The effectiveness
OF this appeal to the moral conscience of
individual voters has been greatly strength
ened by the shocking cartoon affront to the
devout religious sentiment of the Christian
people OF the nation, which was inspired
at Republican headquarters and found pub

These, and many other things, in the
opinion of Mr. Scibold, have combined to

There can be no doubt of the tremendous
change in public sentiment toward the

They are in behind il with all of their might
and are giving it impetus with n strength OF
