Democratic Nominee is Heard by Cheering Throng at
 Pittsburgh IS AMONG STATES OVER THE TOP Nominee, Quoting From Official Bull. Ietin of G. Q. P. Shows How An Immense Campaign Fund is
 Being Raised

'tLopuiGH, Aug. EO.-a cheering throng of several thousand people to- night heard Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, deliver his widely adver- tised expose of the republican at- tempt to "buy the presidency"
 Governor Cox's data consisted al- most entirely of matter taken from the official bulletin" of Fred w. Up- ham, of Chicago, treasurer of the re- publican national committee, but his chief exhibit was typewriter list purporting to show republican cam paign quotas imposed on 51 princi. pal cities in 27 states and aggregat- ing $S,145,000.
 Names of local subscribers, Gov ernor Cox said, were ordered kept secret. These quotas, given as $2,- OOO,000 for New York City, $75O,- 0OO,0OO for Chicago, $5O0,OOO for Philadelphia and ranging down to S25,000 for smaller cities like AL bany, N. Y., were said by Governor Cox to have been announced about the middle of July.
 Cox declared he would lay the facts before the senate committee investi- gating campaign expenditures.
 As he read the list of cities rep resented quotas, Governor Cox, com ing to the $60,OO0 set opposite to Dayton, Ohio, his home, interpreted:
 "It will take sixty times sixty thousand dollars to carry Dayton.'
 The governor also predicted that he would carry Ohio.
 Governor Cox mixed into his pre- pared address humorous and sarcas- tic references to the reports of re- publican subscriptions.
 Names of local subscribers, Gov ernor Cox said, ordered kept secret. These quotas, given as $2,00O, ,000 for New York City, $756,1G0 for Chica- go, $5OO,OOO for Philadelphia and ranging down to $25,O0O for smaller cities like Albany, N. Y., were said by Governor Cox to have been an- nounced about the middle of July.
 That Senator Harding, his repub- lican opponent, twas acquainted with the details" of the quota plan and that it was also approved by Will H. Hays, chairman of the re- publican national committee, was charged by the democratic. candidate.
 From. subsequent issues of the Off, ficial Bulletin, Governor Cox quot ed many reports from republican workers throughout the country, re- porting "going over the top" and in excess of the alleged quotas.
 Announcement of the $8,145,0OO metropolitan quotas, Governor Cox said. was made by Harry M. Blair, as assistant to Treasured Upham. A meeting was held in Chicago, Cover. nor Cox said, at which Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican national committee "spoke his blessings"
 Calls It Foul Thing.
 The governor charged that type- written sheets bearing the 51 cities quotas were distributed to those as- sembled" and he produced one of the alleged quota lists, but did not state how or where it was acquired. The quota plan, he said, was carried cut like that of the liberty loan cam campaigns.
 That the reputed attempt to raise $8,145,O0O from 51 cities in 27 of the 48 states is fair evidence that the total nationa fund will be much lar ger, was declared by Governor Cox, who said big business men were prom inent on the republican ways and means committee and that the rais- ing of funds was on business "sales- manship" basis.
 Governor Cox also quoted from statements in the republican Bulle- tin that state and county organiza- tions were not to be disturbed or retarded in their activities"
 Calling attention to Chairman Hays statement that $3,00O,000 was being raised, Governor Cox said today's papers carried statement from Treasurer Upham that the re- publican total would be about $7,500,- 900.
 "From the evidence which we shall submit" he added, think you will agree we are justified in multiplying MT. Upham's figures by two."
 Governor Cox, standing staunchly by his charges that an attempt to purchase the presidency was being made, declared that "the senatorial oligarchy and their friends are hark- ing back to the days of Mark Hanna, stating that in the 1896 campaign which MT. Hanna managed, $16.000,- 900 was spent.
 "It was this foul thing" said Cover. nor Cox, "which Theodore Roosevelt brought to an end when he reform ed the republican party. When he vas doing it, Warren G. Harding branded him as an "Aaron Burr"
 q charge again an assault on the electorate" said Governor Cox. le can't be hidden; the hosts are mar-s the money ammunition is lre- pared, but it will not succeed. 1ee
