SPEECH AT LUNCHEON

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
NEW YORK, Aug. 2S-Governor
James NJ. Cox renewed his assaults
on the republican campaign fund to-
day in his first New York speech, de
livered at a luncheon in the Commo-
dore hotel. E.,
If it were not that the documents
presented came from the very inside
of republican headquarters the gov
ernor declared, then the country
might look with some doubt upon the
whole thing, for the simple reason
that it is difficult to believe that
political generals can either be so
bold brazen or foolish, and yet the
very thing that has just been exposed
is simply repetition of the foilies OF
the year"
Governor Cox was given a rousing
reception as he marched down Fifth
avenue from the democratic club to
the Commodore at the head of mile
long parade of shouting and cheering
democrats He waved his hat in re-
sponse to the cheers. A police escort
of hundred men and the police band
accompanied the parade.
When the money-digging canlpa ign
started with an organization that
swept the country and reached into
every state and county" Cox told his
audience, when open relation WIN
big business became an affair OF par
tisan pride, then it became apparent
to all that the group which has run
away with the affairs of the repub-
lican party, after having departed
from the idealism of its historic days,
has simply gone mad.
"They turned into the campaign
believing it would be what they desig-
mated as a sure thing Large sums
of money were procured in order TO
start up racial groups and to keep
alive emotions aroused by the war.
Instead of helping to allay the affairs
of world civilization, they sought to
bring confusion into the communities
of America-to multiply, in short, the
woes of mankind, and charge it all
to the administration in power in or
der that the spoils of office might be
gained" 4
