Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1920-10-29

The reaction Of the two inmenaa
crowds which Mr.. Cox addressed. one
of 1900 from the south balcony OF
Tomlinson Hall and another Of fully
5000 packed inside the hall, left not a
doubt in the mind Of Mr. Cox or any
body else present that Indiana is going
TO be swept into the Democratic column
next Tuesday.
Mr.. Cox expressed the confidence that
not only Indiana. but the whole Nation
/ would tread the same path it followed
In twice electing Woodrow Wilson, and
the crowd roared its approval.
WILSON'S NAME SIGNAL
FOR GREAT DEMONSTRATION.
Governor Cox viii have delivered $50
speeches when he closes his campaign
in Chicago Saturday night.
In few has he touched the heights
he attained IN his two addresses heres
his attaches said
1t was simply a case Of great man,
greatly inspired by a great assemblage,
20 deliver great speech upon nobIe
cause.
1t was the temper Of the audience as
the principal meeting inside Tomlinson
Hall to cheer not at tha drop Of the hat,
but at the fall Of every syllable from the
Candidates lips, but Tomlinson Han
never heard such acclaim as burst forth
when Mr.. Cox paid tribute to President
Wilson
isn't 1t sinking to very low standards
IN this campaign to continue a propa-
ganda, creed Of poisonous hate against
the President Of the United States, who,
like a crippled soldier, was brought in
in an invalid chair onlo on the day be-
fore yesterday IN order to speak what
Is In his soul on this great question
'The country in all probability has
been surprised to know how tragic. how
sad, that picture is in the White Houss.
''The Chief Executive Of the United
States In the giving OF his strength
possessed as he was CT a sole obses5ion
to the cause Of war, lies tonight
stricken victim OF the war as clearly
as does any soldier in any hospital foF
our disabled heroes"
EQUALLY READY TO
EXPRESS INDIGNATION.
As perslstently as did the crowd cheer
the sentiments OF Governor Cox and the
names OF leaders, beth Democratic ana
Republican, who favor the league. so also
did they express their scorn for those
who have conspfred to block the entry
OF the United States into it.
Mere mention OF the name Of Senat0e
James e. Watson of Indiana called for
a storm of Kisses and shouts of denun-
citation that the speaker was compelled
to wait for it TO subside.
The crowd was hardly less vocfferou8
In its expression Of disapproval toward
Boies Penrose, Senator Harding, Reed
smoot. Truman Newberry and other re~
dictionary and discredited members Of
the senatorial oligarehy.
Comparison Of the demonstration with
that accorded the Republican candidats
In the same hall two weeks ago brings
distinct comfort to the hearts of Indiana
Democratic leaders.
Governor Cox had no larger audiences
than did Senator Harding. for the rea-
son that 1t was impossible to jam mora
people into the hall on either occasions
and 1t is possible that he did not have
a larger crowd In the outside overflow
meeting than did the Republican chief.
but for enthusiasm the Cox crowd had
the Harding crowds vastly oyershadowed.
Whereas Senator Harding read from
his manuscript for minute after minute
without getting so much as q whisper
from his audience. Governor Cox had
great difficulty in keeping his listeners
from spending more time cheering than
he did talking.
BEGs FOR ERAsURE
OF PARTY LINES.
II come to you tonight with the great
est cause, the most sacred cause. the
most important cause, having wider
significance than has ever been present.
ed to the men and women of any nation
In .he world said Governor Cox.
"And come to you In no PARTISAN
sense; I do not want, IL VOC please, to
be considered as the candidate Of any
political party in the sense that candi-
daeies have been regarded in the past.
s'I want here to counsel with you rep-
resentatives OF an intelligent cltizenslNp
in the great American commonwealth.
'sI want that we all might build out
of Imagination st least a shrine to
America; that we might gather around
II and divest ourselves of every consid~
Grafton except one, and that is, what II
our duty to our country; what is our
duty to humanity, and what is our duty
to Almighty God. Himself?"
He said that he was going to discuss
the covenant OF the league and that he
was going to begin with its origin, take
Il apart so the people could see just
what 1t was, and then discuss the OBJ
jections that have been registered against
it and the controlling practical and spin
itual reasons for our becoming a meme
Der.
.Disposing OF the arguments of its ens-
mics that the league Is British league"
or French league" or an Italian
league" and so on, Governor Cox de-
clared that it Is a world league.
"It is a composite of the conscience
and the judgment of the nations OF
the earth," the Governor said
1t must not be lost sight of that it
grew out of the earnest desire OF civilized
peoples to make impossible the recur-
renee OF the tragedy Of 1914 to 1918, DO
