WHEELING. W. Va., Aug. 16. (Spe
cial.) So far as it is possible to fore
cast Governor Cox' line of campaign
from his speeches at Wheeling, it
-would appear that he is disposed to
develop two fields, first, vigorous ad
vocacy of the league of nations and,
second, his own progressive policies
and plans as contrasted with what
he alleges to be the reactionary poli
cies and purposes of Senator Harding
and what he calls Harding's "sena
torial oligarchy."'
These speeches at Wheeling were
really the formal beginning of Cox'
campaigning and they were watched
carefully 'to see if they marked any
line of departure from the heavy
emphasis which he placed on the
league, of nations in his notification
address a week ago. The fact is, he
made no departure that was especial
ly noticeable, unless it was in the
direction of still greater emphasis on
the league.
Leagroe Appeal Emotional.
Apparently Cox is entirely satis
fied with the reaction of the public
to his notification speech.
In the first of the two speeches at
Wheeling, which was the more for
mal one, being delivered before the
members of the democratic state con
vention, he never alluded to the reso
lutions. He did say that, of course,
the covenant is -not perfect, but he
said that the perfecting of It must
come from future "additions" and
from "the refining processes of ex
perience." His argument for the league wai
more or less clearly divided into two
parts. There was an emotional ap
peal and a technical argument. The
emotional appeal he began by saying:
"The outstanding question in this
campaign Is, are we or are we not
going to keep faith with those boys
who died in France?" He said that
the purpose for which those American
boys were asked to fight was the
preventing of future wars, and that
the adoption of the league as an in
strument for that purpose is an obll
gation definitely promised and now
overdue to the American dead in
France.
Effective AlloMon Made.
In this connection he made an
effective allusion to his visit to Presl
dent Wilson, saying he wished he was
free to repeat the conversation on
that occasion, when Mr. Wilson said
his hope was to live long enough to
see the pledge he had made to our
soldiers redeemed by the ratification
of the league. Governor Cox" plea
for the league was well received, the
emotional parts of the speech were
well done and received hearty and
sympathetic applause,- but he was
even more in touch with his audience
and with the occasion, and he received
the heartiest approval of all when he
sailed into the republicans and took
the hide off Wall street in the man
ner of good old-fashioned political
speeches.
One felt also that this part of his
speech was a little more to his own
liking, and it is safe to say that in
future speeches, when he gets into his
stride, he will devote himself more
and more to this sort of thing and to
his own accomplishments in the way
of progressive legislation in Ohio.
"OllRarcby" Often I'aed.
He used the phrase "senatorial oil
rarchy" again and again. He said
that a little group of selfish persons
"have banded themselves together in
greed and selfishness to purchase the
presidency, their checkbooks are
ready." He said it was their purpose
to get a wrestler's "underhold" on
the government. He said that among
their purposes was one to emascu
late the federal reserve act which
the democrats passed, and he prom
Ised to reveal in future speeches
more details of a secret move which
he alleges Is being made in this direc
tion.
Governor Cox Is unquestionably
most at home and is most effective as
a campaigner when he talks about
himself as governor of Ohio.
ir he were free to follow his own
lead without regard to the party as
whole, if he were free to disregard
everything except putting' his own
best effort forward, he would confin

governor.
Economic Problem Understood.
in tnis part or nis speeches, mor
than in talking about the league of
nations or anything else he is th
most natural, the most earnest an
the most convincing to his audiences.
He seems to understand the business
of managing the economic problem of
a state and to have the kind of confi
dence in his own ability in that field
that can only arise out of successful
experience. He said he had "never
railed out a soldier in an industrial
controversy" and "never fired a shot
to settle a strike." He called on the
world to ask the employers of Ohio
whether they are now satisfied with
the innovation he made; to ask the
employes if they had benefited, and
to ask the courts whether things are
not better now in all respects. It
was this quality of preaching pro
gressive doctrines, rather as an en
gineer seeking better results for all

to his office.

whether they were going under Rus

they had herd rumors there would
be a plebiscite in which the people

with ordinary party men, the answer
to this question would be yes, regu
lar party men never sulk. They know
the rules of the game. Regular party
men know that when you lose a fight
within the family you should shake
hands and present a solid front to"
the common enemy. But the trouble
is, Wilson's friends, and Wilson him
self for that matter, are not regular
party men. They were really outsid
ers in politics. They worked hard and
gave big contributions to the two
Wilson campaigns, not because they
were thtck-and-thin democrats, but
because they had affection for Wilson
personally.
They are not subject to the ordi
nary rules of the game. They don't
have to turn and support their suc
cessful enemy as regular party work
ers must. These men don't want any
offices merely for the sake of -the
job. They have position and power
and wealth in their own right. If
they don't like the way things are
going, they quit, and there isn't any
way of subjecting them to the ordi
nary party discipline.
Cox Hu Difficult Problem.
That situation, and how to remedy
it, is the question that now confronts
Cox and a most difficult question it
is for him. It isn't whether Cox pays
a courteous visit to the White House:
it isn't a mere question of whether
President Wilson treats him courte
ously when he comes; it isn't a mere
question of whether Cox stands, or
does not stand, for Wilson's league of
nations. The question is whether
these friends of Wilson, who have
been the party leaders and party
managers for the last eight years
and who are entrenched in the stra
tegic positions within the party or
ganization, will put their muscles and
their brains not to mention their
pocketbooks loyally and whole
heartedly into service of making Cox
successful.
That is exactly the question which,
will determine whether or not .the
democratic party can or cannot make
a good fight and get out the full
party strength. Cox knows this is
the question as well as any disinter
ested observer knows it, and it can
be expected that Cox will put the
last ounce of his intelligence into the
work of getting the support of these
Wilson leaders.
Committee on Professional Ethics
and Grievances Prepares Re
port for National Body.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 15. More organ
ized activity by bar associations in'
the selection of fit candidates for
judicial offices is urged by the com
mittee on professional ethics and
grievances in a report prepared for
presentation at the annual conven
tion of the American Bar association
here August 25-27.
In the opinion of the committee,
"an appointive judiciary, with a pre
liminary indorsement of candidates
by the bar, is the ideal manner to
obtain a uniformly efficient bench"
The report also emphasizes the
need for thorough co-operation of
members of the judiciary and the
bar, ior the purpose of maintaining
high professional standards in legal
practice.
Questionnaires seeking suggestions
as to how this co-operation might be
accomplished best have been sent out
to approximately 1500 members of the
judiciary throughout the United
States, during the last year, according
to the report, which has been made
public by the local committee in
charge of arrangements.
In reply, it states, recommendation
has been made that the bars in the
various localities be incorporated,
with the Canon of Ethics as a part of
their constitution. Wherever this plan
is carried out. the recommendation is
made that the corporations be en
trusted with complete supervision of
the activities of all practicing at
torneys and of those who follow the
profession without- first having met
the prescribed tests.
The report suggests that the lack
of proper tests as to character of ap
plicants for admission to the bar "is
the cause of many unworthy men
slipping in."
One of the recommendations em
bodied In the report is that the com
mittee be centralized to allow the
holding of conferences at stated
times, in order to act on important
questions which arise.
The members of the committee are
Henry W. Jessup of New York, Thorn
as Patterson of Pittsburg, James D.
Shearer of Minneapolis. Hugh Henry
Brown, Tonopah, Kev., and Henry J.
Carter of New Orleans.
thought that by- preventing the nom
ination of his son-in-law they would
humiliate him. Arguing from their
own pretty crude point of view they
assumed that Wlison's dearest wish
would be to have his son-in-law suc
ceed him. Whether or not they were
right about this does not matter. I
happen to think they were wrong,
but they thought, and gloried in the
thought, by preventing the McAdoo
nomination they were getting even
with Wilson for eight years of en
forced separation from federal pat
ronage. .
They came together at San Fran
cisco hungry for revenge and they
got it.
Democratic Faction Happy.
These men and these organizations
agreed upon Cox for the purpose of
beating McAdoo. and when they suc
ceeded they gloated in a way that
could not be concealed. For that
matter, they did not want to conceal
their gloating. In fact, several of
them gave exultant and insulting
messages of triumphant revenge to
various friends of Wilson and McAdoo
and told these friends to give, the
messages to the objects of their re
venge. Cox' nomination was a tri
umph of the enemies of Wilson, of
McAdoo and the administration gen
erally. These anti-Wilson leaders who
nominated Cox constitute one group.
Let us now consider the other group.'
the group of friends of Wilson. Every
one knows who they are. They are,
with one exception, the men who
nominated Wilson and managed his
campaign in 1912 and 1916. They are
the men who have had the run of the
White House, who have been close to
Wilson, whose recommendations have
had weight in matters of patronage.
Inaidera for Wilson.
I do not mean the little office-holding
friends of Wilson. I mean the
big men everybody knows who they
are Vance McCormick, B. M. Baruch.

Crane and several others lees well

have been close to Wilson, the men
whose recommendations have influ
enced him in matters of patronage
and otherwise, the men who have
been personally loyal to him, are a
distinct group. They are the men
who have been the insiders for the
last eight years. With the nomina
tion of Cox and the taking over of the
party machinery by Cox' friends,
these friends of Wilson, by every law
of practical politics, become the out
siders.
Under these circumstances, will

It was noticeable that in the even

more "scrappy," one might say more
scratchy. It was in the second speech
that he spoke of Harding as being the
creature of a senatorial "ring" and
as being "penned in a dooryard in
Marion, Ohio."
It was entirely legitimate. Roose
velt, in 1916. used to make the same
kind of allusions to Wilson's front

Nevertheless this kind of a speech
won't do Cox as much god as his more
restrained ones.

Cox Tries to Win Party Leader.
In your correspondent's judgment
this was one of the factors which in
fluenced Cox in taking the Wilson po
sition on the league of nations so
completely. Will Cox be successful in
this effort?
So far there is evidence that he has
made much progress. Of course, Mc
Adoo has come out and said he will
support Cox. But that is merely the
courtesy of custom. Every defeated
candidate does this except those who,
like Bryan, have convictions or emo
tions deeper than mere courtesy calls
for. That is only because McAdoo is
that kind of a man. It isn't merely
a matter of that sort of thing, it is
matter of these big and'able and rich
arty leaders who managed the cam
paign in 1912 and 1916 jumping in
and managing the present campaign
with the same enthusiasm and the
same vigor and the same resource
fulness that they gave to Wilson then
Without the aid of these men Cox
can't win. '
Will these Wilson leaders come In
and work and give their time . and
nergy and enthusiasm and their
money? So far there is little 6ign
that they will. Why should they?
These friends of Wilson and of Mc
Adoo can afford to be much more in
dependent towards Tammany and
Tammany's associates than Tammany
can afford to be toward them.
Two Groups at Outs.
If Murphy and Nugent and Bren
nan and Morse and Moore and the
rest of those who put Cox over if
they gloated over beating McAdoo
why should McAdoo s friends now
help them elect Cox and put them in
positions of power for the next four
years positions where they can in
trench themselves and continue their
power and prevent the selection of
McAdoo four years from now?
There is real antipathy between
these groups, not merely a conflict if
interest and ambition, but an irrecon
cilable difference of temperament
tastes and character. The leaders
who nominated Cox are of the city
boss, rough-and-ready politician type
The leader3 who have been friends
and intimates of Woodrow Wilson for
eight years are of an utterly differ
ent type.
In the raging of Wilson's enemies
and even the quieter dissatisfaction
of more reasonable persons with him
it must always be conceded that he is
an idealist, even on the occasions
when he Is a self-righteous and dis
agreeable idealist. And the men who
gravitated towards Wilson all had
some share of his idealism. This type

of man has little in common with the
type of city boss that put Cox over.
Whether these two elements can ever
get together in support of Cox is the
democratic problems in this campaign.
. It will be a triumph of tact on Cox'
part if he can bring it about. It will
be more than a triumph of tact; it
will be a triumph of character. These
Wilson leaders will never help Cox
into the White House unless he
"comes across", to their satisfaction.
Cox Faces Dilemma.
"By "coming across" I mean putting
himself in sympathy with them, shar
ing their ideals and establishing fel
lowship with them, except by turn
ing down the other group to whom
he is so everlastingly indebted for
his nomination. He can't turn down
his group without violating the first
aw of politics-. Cox must stand by
those who stood by him. If he were
not a man who understands and lives
up to these obligations of practical
politics, he would never have got as
far in politics as he already has.
Between these two groups there Is
fundamental and irreconcilable dis
trust. The point of view of Wilson's
friends is not personal to Cox at all.
They have nothing against Cox. To
them he is a stranger. So far as Cox
personally is concerned, they would
be glad enough, to see him president.
But decidedly and emphatically they
will never be willing to give it to
him quite as much through hate of
McAdoo 'and Wilson as through love
for him.
The point of view of Wilson's
friends is that they are not going to
exert themselves to elect Cox unless
Cox gets rid of what they regard' as
the wet and otherwise undesirable
elements who nominated him.
Cox Must Desert Backers to Win.
Cox can only be successfully, he can
only get the full strength of the dem
ocratic party at the polls, by finding
some way of divorcing himself from
the elements who gave him the nom
ination; can only get the full enthu
siasm ad strength of the democratic
party by achieving such an elevation
of character as will appeal to tho&e
leaders to whom Wilson s character
appealed. With these men indiffer
ent, the party can never get anywhere
in this campaign.
The strain .between these two
groups is just now acute and it is
giving Cox a good deal of concern
The Wilson leaders were in the posi
tions of power in the party and they
are being turned out. Homer Cum
mings as national chairman was one
of their men, and he was turned out.
The group that named Cox is not sat
iafied with that and wanted to make
clean sweep. It wanted to get rid
of 'Hollister and Cochran and other
minor officials, but Cox stepped in
and saved them.
But most of all the situation is
made acute by the question of
finances. The democratic national
committee Is broke dead broke and
a good deal over a hundred thousand
dollars in the hole. Wilson's friends
could and would enrich the demo
era tic treasury over night if things
were to their satisfaction. In 24
hours they could give the democratic
machine the momentum which car
ried it to success in 1912 and 1916
Without them this can hardly be
done, even though Cox has rich
friends. The time is too short bare
ly 90 days to reorganize the ma
chine, refinance it and man it with
new workers. Cox has a question of
party organization on his hands fully
as imperative as his need to impress
his personality and nis issues on the
public at large.

Bonar Law's Expected Speech
. Favor of Dominion Form of
Government Suspected.
BY ARKO DOSCH-FLEUROT.

DUBLIN, Aug. 15. (Special Cable.)
Sir Horace Flunkett. president of
the Irish Dominion league and chief
sponsor of the dominion idea, is sus
picious of the reasons for Bonar Law's
reported interest In dominion home
rule.
"If. as reported, Bonar Law is groins
to make an important declaration in
favor of the dominion home rule in
parliament Monday," he said to me,
"his words must be carefully con
strued. Irishmen too often have been
tricked by English politicians to fall
again the victim of their easy prom
ises. "I realize the gratifying change ol
sentiment in Ireland recently and it
looks as if most unionists as well as
nationalists and many who call them
selves Sinn Fein are becoming do
minion home rulers. The business
world has also at last seen the neces
sity of taking an active part In poll

out of the boycott they fear from the

end the present troubled state. I
fear, in their hurry, they will turn to
anything the government pleases to
call dominion home rule.
"I fear that the conversion of many
is too recent to be profound and the
clever English politicians will know
how to stampede them. It's a favoTa

divide Irish opinion and it is very im
portant that Irishmen go slowly and
not fall into a coalition trap."
