TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAM), AUGUST 22, 1920 3 COX HELD RULED BY w ID BOSSES Hays Opens Maine Campaign With Financing Talk. PARTY METHOD IS UPHELD 'Most of Republican National Com mittee Chairman' Address la Devoted, to Funds. AUGUSTA. Me., Aug. 21. Will H. Rays, chairman of the republican na tional committee, today opened his party's campaign in this state, for election of members of congress with a speech in which ho asserted that Governor Cox was dominated by I'resident Wilson and four unnamed "bosses." Mr. Hays devoted much of his speech to discussing campaign funds, denying vigorously that the repub lican party planned to expend exces sive sums to elect Senator Hardius and Governor Coolidge. Also denying that millions had "gone into the re publican treasury" from "certain in terests banded together to buy the presidency" a statement which he credited to Governor Cox Mr. Hays declared that this amounted to a charge of conspiracy to betray the country. Financing Plan Discussed. Referring to the republican plan to limit individual campaign con tributions to $1000, Mr. Hays said: "If this attempt fails to produce the requisite sums, we shall so state publicly, increase the maximum, and seek additional contributions." Declaring that the party needed about $3,000,000, Mr. Hays said that no criticism of the democrats for seeking the largest obtainable con tributions would be offered. "Nor shall we, in resentful emulation of the positive charges of the democratic candidates, so much as intimate that their responsible officers will use any part of their funds corruptly," he paid. "Frankly and squarely, as be tween mutual respecting citizens, we don't believe they will or would if they could. "But I give fair warning now that neither the republican candidates nor the republican management will take false aspersions lying down. . If. at the decision of our adversaries, this campaign shall finally resolve into a question of personal charges, we know of no reason, aside from na tional distaste, why we should not meet that issue as readily as any other." . . , The text of Mr. Hays' speech fol lows: .. Chicago Speech Recalled. The functions of the chairman of a national committee have never been precisely defined. My own limited experience, however, has convinced me that the tasks which devolve upon xne are sufficiently numerous and onerous without including more of speech making. The principles of our party are set forth in our platform, are elucidated by our candidates and are amplified by our public speakers and our public journals. It is an admirable arrangement and one that ehould suffice. And yet I did maKe a speecn at m Chicago convention. It was not long. Indeed it was such a little one that you may not have noticed it. I ut tered three sentences, possibly four. One I recall distinctly. It was to the effect that the republican party was meeting to accept from the peo ple a mandate for the government of the United States. That statement was made in anticipation of the elec tion to come in November. Of its accuracy I am more firmly convinced now on the eve of September than I was then at the beginning of June. 1 declared further that the great party of the union had become united and "that there would be no bolt from that convention. That prediction has been fulfilled to a degree that teemed hardly imaginable. V There, was no bolt from the convention then; there has been no bolt from the party or from its candidates since. Probably never before in the history of our party has the natural strife over nominations been followed by so complete unanimity of acceptance and approval. It is a part of my business to detect and see signs of disaffection, and I tell you honestly that I have found none, either in fac tions or among individuals. The bringing of that splendidly encourag ing message constitutes the chief rea son for my being with you today. Campaign Is Opened. I addressed these few heartening words to the delegates in Chicago as your party chairman merely to "open the convention." It is in the same capacity that 1 now speak to you on behalf of our resolute and per fected organization to open the cam paign. I shall say little of the issues in volved. It is not necessary. They are being unfolded and made clear daily with incomparable lucidity, di rectnees ana rranKness Dy your can didates. It suffices for me to invite your attention to one point of pe culiar significance. We have shown full readiness to meet your adver saries upon any battlefield they might choose. When they concentrated us on the league covenant without the dotting cf an "I" or the crossing of a "T" we met them squarely. When, through their national chairman, fresh from a conference with their candidate, they pronounced the covenant only a "secondary issue." after all. we acquiesced. When the candidates re versed their national chairman and declared the Wilson league the eole issue, we accepted most readily. Where next they will land is wholly conjectural. They may con clude to stake their all upon weigh ing of the relative merits of the re spective candidates. They may pre fer to contrast recent republican cabinets with that which maintains a wayward and hardly recognizable existence. I'rof Iteerlnp: In Conoidered. They may wish to stand upon the actual results of their eight-year-old pledges to reduce the cost of living. They may choose to dilate upon their fresh promise to stop profiteer ing, in the face of the fact that all profiteering eprang into being and continues to flourish under their own auspices. They may like to contrast the types anu cna.ra.ci.ers oi justices or the su prune court to be appointed by the one or the other of the two nominees. They may again rest upon their slo gans or rour years ago "He kept u a uui ui me w , reace, prepared ntr.s ana prosperity," and "War in Europe, peace in America; thank God lor v iison. They may seek popularity in sub stituting for "first in war, first in peace, iirst in tne nearts of his conn trymen," an appellation far more apt as of the moment, L,ast in war, last in peace, gone from the hearts of his countrymen. It is for their new leader, now zig zapging back and forth from the sin lsier Diignt or tne soloist or the dem ocratic party to the furtive presence or its quartet of bosses, to make his selection. It matters not to us. Our ole requirement is that there shall be no -restrictions. This referendum is going to be more than solemn. It is going to be great, the most com prehensive known. Before ended it will have comprised every phase of maladministration and every fleck of Wilsonites that have brought untold miseries upon a people who have every right to be prosperous and contented. The democratic candidate appeals i to both the Wilson and the anti-Wil-! KM son factions of his party. o the former he holds forth the president's platform. To the latter he exhibits himself as an advocate of complete change in administration. Idealism for the sentimentalists, patronage for . the machinists that is his motto, and he offers to the country for foreign use the Wilson covenant and for do-, mc.stic service Tammany hall truly a , marvelous combination of impotence i and ill-repute. Upon the highest authority we are Informed that no man can serve two' masters. But what of one master 1 and four bosses? Obviously with his 1 recognized dexterity, the democratic , candidate hopes to be able to hold to j both, seemingly- despised by the one, not loved by the other. What, pray, can be deduced from the mental Dro- ' cesses of one who solemnly defines'! the Monroe doctrine as The very es-. sence of Article X," precisely as, with' like accuracy, one might define vac cine as the very essence of smallpox. But . I have no wish to follow the tertuous road to the trail's end at least not yet. Thus far. but one of the Joint as- j I - - 1 , ' 1 yi l l ii c ucuiuciaiii; uttuui" dates bears directly upon my depart- ment. Speaking in Chicago on Au- I gust 11, Secretary Roosevelt charged that the republican campaign fund would exceed $30,000,000. and added that such a sum could not be hon estly expended." Three days later. in Wheeling. W. Va., according to the New York Times' report. Gov-1 ernor Cox "caused a sensation and brought, enthusiastic response when he charged that certain interests were banded together to buy the presidency and that millions had been contributed to the campaign fund of the republican party with esinisier intent. "They want to be the sponsors of tne American government, said Gov ernor Cox. "I assure you that they win not, ana that the government- will be sponsor of their activities. Their check-book -t are ready and I open, and hundreds of thousands yea, millions have gone into the re publican treasury to buy an under- hoiq on tne government. iCirschhauiri- Clothes For True Economy Better spend a dollar wisely than a quarter foolishly there's an old maxim and a sound one. - In buying clothes, pay enough to get a suit that will look well and wear long.

Mr. Roosevelt gave as his authority for his accusation "an item he had read in a newspaper." Mr. Cox sub mitted no evidence whatever. Both these men knew that the republican national commission had adopted a plan, which I announced more than a year ago. for financing . our cam paign by a method of decentralized giving, obtaining small contributions from a great many, with a limit of $1000 as a maximum for any contri bution: that Mr. Harding had pub licly approved the plan, and that the committee had readopted it after he was nominated. - Knowing all this. Mr. Roosevelt as serted that our campaign fund would reach the colossal sum of $30,000,000 and Mr. Cox declared, apparently of his own knowledge, that millions have already "gone into the republican treasury" from "certain interests banded together to buy the presi dency." They thus deliberately accused Mr. Harding, your national committee and myself of being engaged in a con spiracy to betray our country. That I submit is a serious charge. If it could be substantiated no pun ishment of those found guilty could be too severe. It cannot be, of course, for the quite simple reason that it is not true. Do vou think Mr. Cox be lieved it was true? Do you think Mr. Roosevelt believed it was true? I do not. and yet they had the audacity to utter this outrageous falsehood, deny ing the truthfulness and reflecting upon the honor of fellow citizens, for one of whom at least they have pro fessed the fullest respect. Their pur pose is plain. They can hardly hope to deceive the thoughtful but they do mean to impose upon the credulous. Frankly, I do not believe they can do either. My concern at any possible political effect of such defamatory illusions, therefore, even when put forth by authority of men deemed by their fellow partisans worthy of hold ing the highest of honors, is slight. The personal aspects may be ignored. Difficulties Are Cited. What does sadden me is that calum nies such as this can be spread broad cast through the columns of great journals without evoking rebuke from tne guides ana leaders of public opin ion who control those powerful agencies. There has been no secret about what we are trying to do. I nave aiscussea tne matter personally with manv of the foremost editors of independent and democratic news papers throughout the country. I have pointed out the difficulties necessarily involved in effecting so marked an innovation. I have sought their ad vice and suggestions and invariably have received assurance of sym pathetic co-operation in what amounts to no more, no less than an earnest endeavor to eliminate money as controlling factor from American politics. iotning nas been and, of course, nothing will be concealed. By reason of the enlarged electorate and the greatly increased cost of all thintrs we figure that there will be required a total of about $3,000,000, an average of about 10 cents a voter. Part of tnis has been received in small con- iriDuuons irom inaiviauals, &o per cent ot wnom nave never oerore sub scribed to party funds. The larger part oi tne totai, we nope, we will be able to raise under the plan of limited suDscriptions which thus far h proved successful. If this attempt should fail to produce the requisite sums, we snail so state publicly, in crease the maximum and seek ad ditional contributions. But should it succeed, as I believe it will, the achievement, if I may quote a prom inent democratic editor, "would far transcend in ultimate and definite good to the country the election of a aozen presidents.

But that flag I would paint and hold for a moment to the light of heaven that all might mark the difference be- ween the old and the new. There would be no need to post that ban ner. It was raised first at Dorches- er heights by George Washington. But a few days ago I saw it re raised in Marion, O.. by Warren G. Harding. For nearly 150 years it has floated over this free land, and never once been lowered.
