A FAMILIAR TYPE or CAMPAIGN

Governor Cox pledges himself to
enforce, the dry law" The governor
has been shifting toward such a
pledge gradually. He is striving to
placate the dry democrats.
But Cox was nominated as a wet.
There's no doubt of that. Bryan says
so and Bryan knows. The newspa per
correspondents said so and they
knew. The personnel Of his support
proved 1t. Moore made wet assur-
ances to New Jersey and the wet in
terests. There's no getting around
that nomination without getting wet
feet.
II looked good then II the Wilson
leaguers and the vets and the gov
ernment-employe ownership of rail-
roads bunch and the nationalizers
and the socialistic outfit and wood
row could be marshsIled into a host
II looked as theo Cox could get thru
Coventry at the head Of it. It looked
like good play for the green. But it
fell into one bunker of popular opin-
Ion after another: the opposition OF
the country to a return OF the LIQUOR
traffic. the disgust of the people with
the democrat administrations UNI
holy waste OF public funds and ut
ter inefficiency and the realization
that q change must be made if the
country was to be saved from disas-
trous failure of transportation and
national bankruptcy.
. Now Mr.. Cox is pledging enforce
ment Of the dry law. He is profuse in
pledges. Which pledge would he he
likely to keep. the promise to the
vets or the promise to the drys?
Cox is desperately seeking votes.
Somewhat about his pledges" and
his appeals reminds Of the-first cam
paign Of the present governor of
Iowa when he was the candidate of
the vets and Of the mud readers and
of every other disgruntled or special
interest that would accept assurances
or pledges. The two campaigns lp-
proximate in type. The governorship
bf Iowa was landed thus. The rest is
history. History all too familiar.
