COX'S SPEECH OF ACCEPTAN CEML'

light school In Kentucky has, in fact,
become a historic institution. The
practice has spread into other Com
monwealths and bands Of noble men
and women are rendering great SER
vice. There should be no encroach-
ment by the Federal Government on
local control. II lis the healthAul,
reasonable indivtchlalism OF American
national life taat has enabled the
citizens OF this Republic TO think for
themselves and, besideA state and
community initiative would be lm-
paired BY anything approaching de-
pendence. The Central Government,
however. can inventory the possibili-
ties Of progressive education. and ~ y,
helpful manner create an enlarged
public interest in this subject.
WON'T COMPETE WITH THE DOL
Lars OF O. o, p.
There will be no attempt In this
campaign to compete BY dollars
with our opposition. So many
peopie have been In the money
oatherinQ business for the reAe-
tionary cause that the millions al
ready IN hand are moro or less a
matter Of general information. All
that We ask 10 that both parties
deal IN the utmost good faith with
the electorate and tell the plain
truth a. to the amounts received,
the contributors, and the items Of
disbursements. Tho public Iudo-
ment IN elections should be rem
dored after tho fullest hearinq
possible. Each side has the right
to properly present its case. This
10 4 legitimate expense, There 10
mo narrow dividing line between
the legitimate and illepitimate in
+ political campaigns. One oontem-
plates the organization and
maintenance Of 5ueh facilities az
are necessary TO advise the people
Of the facts bearing upon the is-
suesi the other carries tho DELHI
crate purpose to interfere with the
I honest rendering Of verdict.
How misguided some OF our peopl
arei Recognizing that readjustmen
must be made, they believe that the!
will fare better II they cast their for
tunes with those with whom the,
dealt on the base OF campaign contri
buttons in days gone by. They do no
sense the dangers that threaten. Tn
sort of readjustnent which will appea
to our Self-respect and ultimately q
our general prosperity, is the homes

simply delays the ultimate process
and we should remember the lesson o
history that one extreme usually lead
70 another. We desire industrial peace
We want our people to have an abid
Ing confidence in government, but n
readJustment made under reactionar
auspices will carry with II the conf
dence OF the country.
" were asked TO name In these
Trying days the first essential
notwithstanding every other oon-
alteration, the response would bei
Conscience in government. II
would be nothing less than q
calamity " tho neSt Administer
ton were elected under corrupt
auspices. There 10 unrest in the
eoUntryi our people have passed
I through q trying experience. The
European war, before IL engulfed
uA aroused eVOry racial throb in
. Nation Of composite citizenship.
The conflict in which we partioi-
pated oarSied anNieties into every
} community and thousands upon
thousands OF homes were touched
by tragedy. The Inconvenience
incident TO the war have been dis
quietinuI the failure Of the Re-
