GOV. cox, IN HIS SPEECH,
TO REVEAL LEAGUE STAND
Chairman White Wonders if Taft
and Johnson Approve Harding
Attitude.

Chairman White of the democratic
national committee, before his de
parture yesterday afternoon to visit
Gov Cox, said Gov. Cox would make
clear in his speech of acceptance,
next Saturday. his position on all
the questions propounded by Senator
Harding on the league of nations.
1t may be pertinent at this time,
however" he said. ito ask Senator
Harding whether Senator Johnson or
former President Taft represents the
Harding viewpoint on the league of
nations.
THE republican candidate, accord
ing to press dispatches, seems dis
turbed at my suggestion that the re-
publican party will not be able to
finance its campaign through a pop
ular appeal for contributions under
$1,000. The senator had better get to-
gether with Mr.. Upham, treasurer of
the republican national committee. In
an interview telegraphed from Chi
cago and published in New York pa
pers this morning. Mr.. Upham virtu-
ally admits that the appeal for small
has fallen down. He plainly intimates
that it will be necessary to raise the
limit above $1,000.
The democratic party always has
relied upon a popular appeal for
small contributions and Will so rely
THIS year. me ueInoCrdtiC party "ei-
comes a searching investigation of
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures. 1t demands that the senatorial
investigating committee continue its
sessions throughout the campaign.
We will make public at frequent in
tervals our receipts and expenditures
and shall expect the opposition to do
the same. We want the source of all
contributions made known.
saThe democratic senators fOrced the
continuance of the activities of the
Senate committee investigating pre-
convention campaign expenses. l hope
the excessive expenditures as devel-
oped by that committee in the pre-
convention period will not be indica-
tive of the republican course during
the campaign this fall

HITS HARD AT
 THE OLD GUARD

 of old time, hard shell politicians, or in the case of a few narrowly preJu- | diced newspapers, when it is either popular or useful to damn everybody and everything connected with the op- position. I willingly acknowledge and praise the fine citizenship which goes to make up the rank and file of the Republican party. The Republican party is one of great traditions, of great patriotism, of great accomplish ments. l speak of the rank and file of that party, even today, with true respect.
 But for eight years, yes, for 12 years, a conflict has been raging with in that party-raging among those in high command. In the first eight years of this century. the Republican party was in large part under true leaders. From 1908 to 1912 group of selfish men sought for their own purposes to gain control of the party machinery
 You know the result. It was ill this city that was born the movement of protest that, in the elections of 1912, received the majority of the votes of the old Republican party. That vote was given to a great Amer ican leader, but it was even more than support of Theodore Roosevelt the man, it was the voice of insist ence that the party control be taken out of the hands of selfish men. Among those in that year who sup ported the ancient regime was the present. Republican nominee. To-day this same man and his | sponsors the old guard, show no signs of having taken to heart the drastic lesson taught them. Once again we see them, unmindful of the marvellous progress around them, warped in their selfishness, fault finding and bitterly criticizing, but offering no real remedies or con- structive program to meet the prob lens we face today.

 PRISON RECORD

Ponzi's confession followed publi- cation today of stories of the career of "Charles Ponzi'' in Montreal. Af- ter conferring with his attorneys, Ponzi admitted he and "Porsi' were the same man, that he had served 20 months in prison in Montreal for for gerry and two years in the federal prison at Atlanta for smuggling Ital- ians into this country. He asserteu his sentence for forgery resulted from his assuming the blame for a crime committed by banker in Mon treal, by whom he had been employ ed and who fled to Mexico. He de- clared he did not smuggle the Ital- ians into this country saying he crossed the border on tile train openly"
 'If I made a mistake I paid for it," he said. q had every reason to be- lieve society owed me another chance"
 Ponzi later reiterated previous as- sertions that he was solvent and could pay all notes against him in his operation of the Securities Ex- change company. It was the large business done by this company which offered 50 per cent interest in ninety days on all loans, and which redeem ed many notes in 45 days, that re- suited in the investigation under way. Ponzi claimed that through his manipulation of international postal reply coupons in Europe he was able to pay the lrage interest rate, and make huge profits himself.
