CHIEF COX APPEALS
Nominee Tells Half Truth,
Leaves Rest to Inference.
OHIOAN KNOWS ALL TRICKS
Impression on Audience Is Xot
Lasting-, Says Walter I. Tooze
Analyzing Latest Tour.
BT WALTER L. TOOZE JR.
CHICAGO, 111.. Oct. 16. (Special
Correspondence). Governor Cox has
just finished his swing through Il
linois, Indiana and Ohio, speaking In
many of the leading cities of those
states and making many rear-platform
talks from his special train. The
writer had the pleasure of hearing
him, among other places, at Spring
field, 111., St. Louis, Mo., and Logans
port, Ind., upon this trip, and to form
some impressions regarding his cam
paign. At the outset, it is well to point
out that the White House is now in
complete control of the democratic
campaign, and the democratic nomi
ness is without doubt taking his
orders from the president as to what
should be said upon his speaking
tours.
The democratic strategy, as shown
by the recent speeches of Governor
Cox, has centered upon a discussion
of the league of nations. The burden
of all of Cox's addresses upon his re
cent trip had to do with the league.
There is no doubt a good reason for
this line' of attack.
League Distracts Voters.
By taking up the minds of the
people with the league of nations
issue the voters are prevented from
considering the woeful extravagance
and almost criminal waste of the
present administration during the
war.
They are making an issue out of
something that should not be an issue,
and which the election of Mr. Cox
could not determine possibly for there
arc not. sufficient senatorial contests
in the country which if entirely won
by the democrats would give the
league advocates a sufficient ma
jority to adopt the league. But in
their endeavor to cloud the real issues
of the campaign in this manner they
are meeting with more or less suc
cess, which justifies the strategy from
their standpoint.
Cox Good Campaigner.
But it must be admitted that Gov
ernor Cx has a pleasing way of
handling himself before an audience,
is a good campaigner, and apparently
tireless. He talks to his audience,
rather than addresses them. He has
and uses every trick of the dema
gogue and depends largely upon ap
peals to passions and prejudices to
win applause; he plays largely upon
the emotions.
He is the most dangerous sort of
campaigner in that he adroitly tella
half the-truth and leaves the rest to
inference, the in f erence naturally be
ing false. For instance, he charges
that the league of nations text is not
printed in the republican campaign
text book as a part of his charge that
the republicans are conducting a cam
paign of silence and are endeavoring
to keep the facts from the people, but
ho dors not point out that this text
book, like the democratic text book,
is not for general distribution, but
only for tlm assistance of speakers.
His whole speech is filled with in
stances of truths half told, but with
insinuations which are calculated to
create an erroneous impression. This
method of campaign is the apex of
strength pf the demagogue.
IMays for Applause.
One of his favorite plays for ap
plause is to invite questions from the
audience, and then say to them that
we are in America and not in Siberia,
and that every American citizen has
a riht to speak and ask questions.
and that if anyone should ask him a
quest ion the q uestion would be an
wend. and tin? person asking same
would not be thrown in jail either.
This is handed out as a jibe at the
republican candidate on account of
the. unfortunate Baltimore episode
where the mistaken zeal jf the police
created a rather poor situation. But
in the way he puts this proposition
to his audiences. Cox seeks to create
the impression . that Harding is
against free speech and is in favor
of placing men in jail for asking
questions. He also hammers the sen
ate oligarchy, as he calls it. and tells
how they picked the republican nom
inee, but lie fails to- say anything
about .Murphy. Taggart, ct al., or how
he was nominated.
A rather amusing thing occurred in
this connection at Kast St. Louis. The
man introducing Cox endeavored to
tell how the horrible senate oligarchy
or clique secured Harding's nomina
tion w ithout the consent of the people
and against their will, and then went
on to contrast it with the purity sur
rounding the selection of Cox.
More I ray era deeded.
He said at San Francisco no senate
oligarchy picked the candidate; but
instead, ten or 12 of the very prom
inent democratic leaders of the nation
got together and agreed upon the
Ohio governor, and when he eaid this
he thought he had actually put the
nomination of Cox upon an unassail
able plan e. Several amusing things
happened- at East St. Louis.
It was a democratic crowd, and
they secured the services of a demo
critlc minister of the gospel to open
the meeting with prayer. He did not
pray for. America, but he confined
himself to asking for the success of
the democratic party and the demo
cratic nominee. They will need more
than the prayers of the East St. Louis
preacher to get by in this election.
Many Trick In Sack.
Another trick which he works is
when discussing the objections to the
league he calls up the objection that
under Article X American soldiers
would be sent overseas to fight the
battles of Europe. He calls out to the
ciowd and asks if there is a school
superintendent or professor present
He finally finds one and then the
following takes place:
"Profe ssor, is it not a fact that un
der the constitution of the United
States congress only can declare
t. war?
The professor says "Yes."
"Now is it rot a further fact that
the president of the United States i
the commander-in-chief of the armies
and navy of the United States?"
The professor says 'Yes."
"Now is it not a further fact that
the president of the United States has
nr more power to declare war than
has the chief of police of Peoria?"
The professor says that Is true.
He leaves the objection to take tip
another, but he does not point out the
moral obligation .under Article X, nor
the fact that did our representative
In the l"aguo agree to send armed
" forces to Kurope congress would
be morally bound to back him up; he
doea not point out that all there la
now or ever has been to back up In
ternational law is moral obligation
and not legal obligation.
Appeal to Women.
During his later speeches, the Ohio
governor has been playing up the
spiritual end of the league of nations.
No doubt he has a two-fold purpose. :
First, it Is a sentimental appeal, and
Is expected to sway the women of the .
country: secondly, he has been ac
cused of being Wed up with the wet
element in the country, and no doubt
he hopes that this will counteract to
a certain extent objections against
him on this ground, and give out the
impression that he will enforce the
Volstead act.
Through Indiana and Illinois, Cox
Tlad fair sized audiences and was fre
quently applauded. At St. Louis he
had a very demonstrative body of lis
teners. The big auditorium was filled
to overflowing, with standing room
at a premium. The mention of the !
name of President Wilson by Mr. At- I
kinson, democratic candidate for gov- I
ernor, started a tremendous dem
onstration. It lasted for ten minutes.
Cox was given a warm welcome. It
was here that he propounded the nine
questions to ex-President Taft. If
the sentiment of that crowd truth
fully Indicated sentiment throughout
Missouri, there would be no doubt as
to how Missouri would go.
Impression Is Temporary.
My impression, gained after listen
ing to Mr. Cox several times, is that
the impression he creates is tempo
rary. People are swayed for the time
being, but away from under his in
fluence the impression soon leaves
them. His speeches lack depth and
are filled with so much petty mud
slinging that they do at create a
lasting impression.
Tt pannnl h triiMifnllv sniri how
ever, that he is hurting his candidacy
in his present tour; but it can be
truthfully said that he is not gaining
much substantial support. This may
be due to the fact that the people
have already made up their minds, or
it may be due to the fact that his
speeches, though pleasing to hear,
lack everything constructive, as
pointed out before.
He wasted his time in Illinois, for
there is not the slightest chance for
him to win there, nor is there the re
motest possibility of the democratic
candidate for senator defeating Mc
Kinley for election. In Indiana he
might have done some good for Tag
gart, democratic candidate for sena
tor, but so far as his own candidacy
is concerned, Indiana will give Hard
ing a decisive majority,- and down in
Indiana the politicians know what Is
going to happen. Taggart traveled
with Cox through Indiana and spoke
to the same audiences. The race be
tween Taggart and Watson is close,
but recent developments point to
Watson's re-election.

NAMES ARE BADLY MIXED
Duplication and Similarity Make
University Rolls Complex.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu
gene, Oct. 20. (Special.) Compilers
of grade sheets and rollcall reports
have met their Waterloo in the dupli
cation and similarity of names which
exist at the University of Oregon.
According to Mrs. George Fitch
of the registration office staff Smith's
lead off with 18. Johnsons are a
close second with 14. There are 11
Moores and 10 Millers to worry the
professors and Wilsons and Hills are
running a close race with eight each.
To add to the confusion which this
causes is the exact duplication and
similarity of names. For instance
there are two Ruth A. Tucks; an1
Arthur W. Johnson and an Arthur H.
Johnson; a Harold V. Simpson and a
Harold E. Simpson; two Dorothy Dix
ons and a Dorothy Divkey to make
life more pleasant for the hard-work
ing bookkeepers.
Two Hazel Whites are enrolled, as
are an Elaine Cooper and an Elaine
Couper; two Ben Reeds and two Jean
Mackenzies sometimes cause lost time
in the registration office. . fc,ddie
Evans and Edward Evans sometimes
cause worried instructors to thrown
their hands up In dismay, ine three
Helen Kings probably will get their
grades mixed up when grading time
comes and J. Allen Smith and Allen
R. Smith may find themselves in
much the same predicament.
Student Workers Plan Club.
trxrVERSlTT OF OREGON. Eugene,

students who are working their way
through the university is being
started at the Young Men's Christian
association. The club will set a

limited to 30. The club is the idea
of James Price of Seattle, who has
been active in Young Men's Chri
tian association affairs since his ar
rival on the campus.

H. R. Winebarger of Mitchell was ar
rested on the charge of operating a
car without a license and was fined
$50 in the justice court. He was also
