Battle Greek, Mich, Sept. 3.--Gov-
ernor Cox today made whirlwind
rush into his western campaign, max
ing dozen speeches throughout Mich
igan, attacking republican campaign
contributions and peace policies.
Charges of plot to buy the presidency
were reiterated in virtually every ad-
dress.
The principal addresses were at Lam
sing and here Governor Cox also
made numerous rear platform speeches.
AS proof of his charges, the governor
at Lansing read from copies of the re-
publican treasurer's official bulletin.
and from alleged lists of subscriptions
to the. republican hand book.
The latter he said comprised rep
resentatives OF "gib business almost
everywhere except New York. Read
ing from the list of prominent men
named in the subscription list, he
said these men are not making con-
tributions to my fund, and there are
three different reasons; they haven't
been asked; they wouldn't be permitted
to, and they probably wouldn't if they
had chance because they don't ap-
prove of my policies
For the first time, Cox discussed
Article Ten in his address here. 1T

alike, and the powers must keep off
the grass. That's the whole meaning
of that instrument"

peace, Governor Cox said it was a pro-
gressive plan and that Senator Hard
ing, the republican nominee stood for
reaction as he had done also in op-
posing the new Ohio constitution.
The labor issue also was discussed
by the governor who reiterated his
charge that republicans were receiving
contributions from persons who would
substitute the bayonet for the Golden
Rule under reactionary national ad-
ministration."
II stand for peace as against war, a
peace for all that will give no advan-
tage," Governor Cox said, renewing
his charge that large sums of money
were being contributed by certain in
terests, Ito gain the inside track in re-
