GOVERNf COX PROVES HE
rs 7 ONE-LUNG CANDIDATE

he had sn news picture Showing
GOyernbr1oX making a speech in
Minnesota Il saw Governor Cox in
the moFii tonight and there wasn't
a hand CLIP in the place, except one
fellow wa over in a dark corner who
hit his hlds together as if he was
afraid sOebOdy would hear it. May
be they yere all Republicans except
him, but seemed funny and it made
me wondr if the people everywhere
act that lay.
We'll, iack," answered his uncle.
what yo witnessed at the movies
may have been because of the fact
that peope applaud moving pictures
much les than they did during the
war, butt. opens up thought l have
had ever, since Governor Cox start
ed on ht speaking tour. In every
big political campaign many things
are said back and forth that would
never be Said by the same men were
it not fer the fact that they were
battling for Office, but in most presi-
Dental BATTLES we have seen that the
men were BIG enough to be above
the petty cheap and mean things of
politics, &c that no matter which man
might bs elected the country would
be fairly safe in believing that either
man wOiild make a strong guiding
hand at Ehe head of the nation. But
Mr.. COX has shown that he is NOT
a BIG min because his speeches have
hSsen fuP to overfiOwing of the pet
ftiest and cheapest statements a man
could pdsibly make. The only thing
he scent to be able to do is to state
over and over again that those who
oppose lin are telling things that
are not rue, and he uses the words
lie and falsehood with no apparent
regard 3r what the result may be.
"GOvelnOr Cox has charged over
and OVel again that the managers of
the Republican campaign have raised
or are tying to raise I fund of Sl!,-
000,010 riGn which to buy an under
aUld on bhe Government. He alone IL
responsible for thesD statements. for
all of his managers say they know
nothing about it. They say they be-
lieve he will make good Ill proving /
his chaEges. He has not made good
yet and he has not appeared before
the Semitic committee that is investi- I
eating these charges in Chicago. In +
stead OF proving his charges, he goes (
right on and continues 10 reveal his /
small liinp and the petty tactics he
is cOmfelifd to use in his fight for .
the Presid lncy."
why dtesn't he talk about some
things elselr asked Ruth.
That is the question hundreds of
thinking Americans are asking them
selves thess days, Ruth. If Governor
Cox had any real argument in favor
OF his staAd for the World Club he
would certlinly be telling the people
about it. f the World Club plan is
such a fire thing for the United
States as ne says it is after talking
with WOODROW Wilson, why doesn't
he prove j to the people? He can't
do it. Thai is the answer. He can't
do it. He knows just as well as do
we. that Article X of the World Club
plan means that in every war in Eu-
rope the United States would have to
do the fighfng and furnish the money.
He knows that it would mean the
OF an army by the Unit
ed States to fight the battles for Eu-
rOpean diplomats with no thought as
to the cause or the nation the army
might be fighting for, or how many
Americans might be killed or manned
,Or life. Governor Cox can't answer
hat sort OF thing and he KNOWS IT,
and that .is the main reason he has
ried to Sc the attention of the peo-
)le on an unproven charge that the
3epublica l5 are spending more mon
~ than d should.
