Boss" Barnes, his record in 1912
as exposed by Theodore Roosevelt
and the so-called Democratic book
of faith" were touched upon although
Mr.. Cox, in hurrying over this por-
ton of the message he was trying to
bring home to his hearers, didn't
make this argument very clear, in the
opinion of many of those who heard
him. He insisted that the signatures
of several nationally known business
men to this document and its ap-
prevail by Mr.. Harding consisted evil
dence that big business" was not
only supporting that Republican can
didate but that it was bitterly op-
posed to his (Mr. Cox's) election. In
this connection, Mr.. Cox emphatically
asserted that he was progressive,
invoked the name of Theodore Roose-

Mr.. Cox appealed to the former
service men, asking that all those who
had been in the service indicate their
presence. He flattered them on their
record in France and told them that
the Republican senate was prevent
ing the conclusion of the work they
had so we'll begun. He appealed for
their support to insure swift adop-
ton of the league of nations and the
formal ratification of the peace
treaty.
His discourse upon the league of
nations was brief. He charged the
senate of the United States with en-
tire responsibility for failure to per-
init the country to get back on a
peace basis, said that the war ridden
nations of Europe needed this ma
TONS help which was being withheld
simply that the Republicans might
make political capital of the situation.
He painted vivid picture of the
thousands of children in Europe who
were starving to death, telling his
hearers that responsibility lay with
the senate of the United States.
Cox pledged that in the event OF
his election, some of the funds now
being employed for building battle
ships would be used for irrigatinG
arid Idaho. He said nothing relative
to the record of the present admins
tration and did not touch upon waste
full expenditures at Washington.
