COLUMBUS. OHIO, ,Augurt 31.-
Governor Cox. Democratic prcsiden-
,ial candidate, in statement today
declared as absolutely untrue and
false" statements attributed TO VIII
II. Hays. chairman OF the Republican n
National Committee. before the Sem
mcnt issued by the Republican COM
paign expenditures. that it was not
the policy of the Republican com
mittee to obtain contributions in ex-
cess OF $1,000.
Governor Cox again referred to
what purported to he an official docu-
rncnt issued By the Republican com
mittee to prove his assertion. The
ernor is alleged 10 have been issued
two days after Senator Harding S
nomination at Chicago. by Treasurer
Upham.
"Moncy Disgcrs" Receive Plans.
The document, Governor Cox de-
clared. said by it's preface that sub
scriptlons were 20 be sought in ex-
cess OF $4,000. that the quota
should be sold and that minimum
OF 100000 was to be sought in cities
the size OF ST. Louis. Cleveland and

Contrasting this official document
from the Republican national he\l-
quarters" Governor Cox said wish
the statement Mr.. Hays made ycster-
day under oath. i cannot believe n
single word he says on the sub
ject. That he has been caught in his
own trap is evident"
The Governor declared that ali
State chairmen should be summoned
By the committee to bring all docu-
ments relating to money raising with
them. The spotlight should be thrown
on the activities Of all political parties
and i, should be kept there inten-
s!vcly until election day." he added.
Enough is known now. through
records from Mr.. Hays headquarters
20 convince the public that as the
head OF i great organization he has
deceived the public and at an official
hearing dciied the truth"
Mr.. Cox's statement follows: 81
have read VIII Hays testimony be-
fore the senatorial committee. For
months he has said to the public that
the campaign funds were to be raised
through individual subscriptions not
exceeding $1,000. In other words, 1t

the face OF accumuiat!nG evidSnce, he
