REACTIONARY FORCES
I, SAYS COX
Issue Clear to AH Americans,
Nominee Declares.
LEAGUE ENTRY PROMISED
People Have Taken Harding at His
Word, That He Opposes Cove
nant, Says Governor.
INDIANAPOUS, Ind.. Oct. 28. Ar
guments addressed particularly to
voters favoring Senator Harding upon
the broad, general ground of desiring
"a change" in national affairs, were
emphasized tonight by Governor Cox.
To a large audience in Tomlinson
hall and in a formal statement Gov
ernor Cox fired a. broadside of ques
tions to the American people, attack
ing Senator Harding and other repub
lican leaders for their league of na
tions, legislative and political rec
ords. 'Republicans, when they are hon
est," Governor Cox declared, "have
acKnow leaped what is patent to
everyone that no one really wants
senator Harding for president and
yet they tell me that as partisans
many are expected to vote for him be
cause they have been taught to be
lieve that they "want a change.' The
expression was preached as Drona
ganda by reactionary leaders until it
Has become nauseating to the public.
Governor Cox asked whether the
voters 'desire a change back to nor
malcy relative to legislation," to "tax
evasion by big business." to "success
of reactionary politicians." to "control
of government by men led by Lodge
and Penrose," and to other conditions,
liooaier Democrats Cheer.
governor Cox's visit here was the
occasion for a great rally of Hooster
democracy. A parade, with fireworks,
torchlights and bands, was staged and
the governor spoke to an overflow
meeting outside of the hall. Hun
dreds of persons, Including many
clubs, marched in the parade.
The governor arrived at 5:30 P. M.
from Dayton, O., where he spent the
day resting and where he issued a
second statement attacking the Satur
day livening Post, ronewing charges
Of unfair partisanship.
Governor Cox also preached the
league of nations and predicted vic
tory next Tuesday.
"When I started this campaign," he
aid, "I made the prediction that we
would drive our opponents out of the
front trench by mid-October. I have
now visited 36 states. Not only has
that prediction come true, but the re
treat of the reactionaries' forces has
become a reut. The American people
clearly are for our going into the
league. The lines are definitely set.
My election means our going into the
league and notwithstanding the 'wig
gling and wobbling' of Senator Hard
ing, the voters have taken him at his
word that he is against the league
and that he has turned his back
upon It.
Enemy Held Hopeless.
"Every smoke screen set up by the
'senatorial oligarchy' has been pierced
and every entanglement has been
torn down. The specious attempt to
build up a elogan for a 'change' is
the last to falL
"3ly opponents make their fight
upon the league Issue and upon me.
They have failed In their attempt to
divert the issues. They have been
compelled to recognize that Cox is
the candidate and no longer can they
continue their assault upon President
Wilson, whom they have pitilessly be
labored for months, even though they
knew he was sick and unable to de
fend himself as much a victim of the
war as is any disabled soldier in the
hospital."
In his assault npon sentiment for "a
change," Governor Cox put these ques
tions to voters: "Do they want a
change that will mean tax revision
from a big business point of viewT
That is the change they would get
from Senator Harding.
"Do the cattle raisers want the
change desired by the packers, so that
the Kenyon-Kendrtck bill will . be
killed, leaving the cattlemen to obtain
whatever prices the big five elect to
give? All of Senator Harding's po
litical associates axe opposed to that

Do they want a change that will mean
success to the programme of reaction
ary politicians. Including Senator
Harding, desirous of abolishing all
direct primaries and thus eliminating
the troublesome Instructed delega
tion' when the old guard leaders as
semble at 2:11 A. M. for their quad
rennial conference to pick the presi
dential nominee for the republican
voters of America?
"Do the farmers want a change to
a federal government headed by Sen
ator Harding, who declared in 1917
that wheat could be raised at a profit
for $1 a bushel?
"Do the farmers want a change to
the type of political control that
brought about the agrarian revolt in
North Dakota?
"Do the workingmen of America
want a change to an administration
headed by Senator Harding, who
voted for the anti-strike section of
the Cummins bill, although in keep
ing with his general conduct he
would pose now as a friend of labor?
Appeal Made to Women.
"Do the women of America want a
change that would mean control of

Irish Question Rained.
"Do the men and women of Irish
'Jescent want a change that will mean,

of official America; or do they want a
change that will mean the presenta

world opinion?
"Do the men and women of German

influence of the United States in the

change that would be nothing more
than the repetition of the farce staged
by congress when it played horse for

men have not changed. It is impos

has changed."
LORIMER AXSWERS CHARGES
Latest Cox Accusations Utterly
Groundless, Says Editor.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28. George
Horace Lorimer, editor of the Satur
day Evening Post, in a statement to
night, in retply to charges of unfair
partisanship on the part of the Post
and its editor, made today by Gov
ernor Cox, said:
"It is common knowledge that the
Saturday Evening Post Is not influ
enced in its stand by a desire for
more circulation, because for some
time now it has cut the orders for its
edition several hundred thousand
copies weekly. If it were, as .Gov
ernor Cox charges, a large benefi
ciary of advertising growing out of
the excess profits tax. Its course in
vigorously attacking that section of
the revenue bill from week to week
would be suicidal. In short, the ani
mus behind Governor Cox's charges
must be apparent to even the sim
plest mind. The real explanation of
the stand taken by the Saturday Eve
ning Post during the past year has
not occurred and -probably could not
occur to him. It grew out of a sin
cere desire for better and-- efficient
government.
"To Governor Cox partisanship
means being against him and what he
stands for. The Saturday Evening
Post has always had nerfectlv clear-
cut opinions on politics and other sub
jects and never has hesitated to ex
press them, whether they were unpal
atable to either or both of the old
parties and their candidates. Our pol
icies in tnis respect are perfectly well
known to the public and Quite un
changed. I repeat that when we stood
xor toe re-election of Mr. Wilson in
the last days before the last election
neither Governor Cox nor any other
democrat found anything 'partisan'
or 'insidious' in our action.
"Governor Cox personally is of sec
ondary importance in this campaign.
The democratic candidate, weighed in
the balance of his public utterances,
has proved himself merely a politician
using the methods of the sensational
juui njfcusL. ins record or the demo
cratic party since the armistice has
been one of incompetence, waste and
failure to do the things that are
necessary to the salvation of America."
COX RAPS POST PUBLISHERS
Governor Charges Curtis Company
With Unfair Partisanship.
DAYTON, 0 Oct. it. Another state
ment charging the Saturday Evening
Post and its editor. George Horace
Lorimer, with, unfair partisanship,
was issued today by Governor Cox of
Ohio, democratic presidential candidate.
"The Insidious purpose of the Sat
urday Evening Post, cloaked under
non-partisan methods for the past
decade and more, has finally been
brought to light," Governor Cox de
clared, stating that it had made mis
statements only four days before elec
tion, when it was impossible to cor
rect them.
That the Curtis Publishing com
pany had been found guilty by the
federal trade commission of violating
the anti-trust laws by unfair prac
tices in distributing its periodicals
was asserted by Governor Cox, de
claring that "big business" was op
posed to him because he would give
It a "square deal and nothing more."
The governor's statement follows:
"When early in the week I called
attention to the guerrilla tactics of the
Saturday Evening Post on the basis
of its last-minute attack on me, the
response of Mr. Lorimer, its editor,
was that my action was unethical. I
am perfectly willing to leave the de
cision on ethics to the voters of
America, many of whom have been
iiietime readers or the Saturday Eve
ning Post and who from the time of
its origin have looked upon it as a
household Journal to which they reir
dered devotion because it took no
part in partisan campaigns.
"The question of ethics would seem
to lie in what America has learned
to look upon as a square deal and
when a non-partisan journal becomes
partisan in its very last issue, four
days before an election when it is
impossible for misstatements to be
corrected or deceit to be met it
would seem to indicate a very deep
seated selfish Interest based upon
some purpose which could scarcely be
called straightforward and honest. No
man who represents a Just cause has
any objection to presenting both sides
of the case.
"In my statement I charged ulte
rior interests. Since Mr. Lorimer has
seen fit to reply simply In a way that
raises the question of ethics. I would
like to direct him to these plain ques
tions: "Is his Interest in this election
which brings the unusual act of par
tisan support from his paper based
upon tbe desire for a -return to tbe
The Easiest Way
Whenever our country experiences a money
flurry, many advertising appropriations are cur
tailed and some stopped altogether.
The producer of raw material, the labor
leader, the makers of railroad tariffs, have all de-.
manded and received, since 1914, great increases
in the amount spent by manufacturers for ma
terial, labor and transportation.
But the advocates of advertising are not in a
position to demand. Advertising is not indis
pensable. - v
When the banker puts on the screws of con
servatism and retrenchment, the quickest and
easiest place to effect a "saving" is in the adver
tising appropriation.
The "gain" is immediate and the loss is grad
ual and cannot be proved anyway.
Men who are steadfast in their advertising are
either gifted with imagination or protected by
having been born yesolute.

"normalcy" under which his publica
tion sought to prosper by unfair
methods?
"Is it because the Curtis Publish
ing company was found guilty of the
use of unfair and illegal methods of
competition and of violation of the
anti-trust law prohibiting use of cer
tain contracts and of violation of the
federal trade commission's ruling?
"The complaint in each case was
based upon the fact that the Curtis
Publishing company made contracts
with -wholesale distributors which
prevented them from handling other
publications without permission from
the Curtis Publishing company and
whioh prohibited the sale of all com
peting publications. The plan of the
Curtis Publishing company was with
the intent and had the effect of large
ly Increasing circulation of Curtis
publications and unfairly decreasing
circulation of competing publications
to the end that the Curtis Publishing
company would derive large advertis
ing rates by reason of tremendous
circulation.
"These unfair practices prevented
competing publishers from obtaining
distribution of their publications
through the ordinary distributing
channels and forced them to distrib
ute through channels which did not
have any facilities for a wide distri
bution. Proof of these unlawful prac
tices was found by the federal trade
commission after extensive hearings
on July 21, 1919, and the Curtis Pub
lishing company was forced to cease
and desist."
GREEK REGENT IS ELECTED
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES XAMES
ADMIRAL COUXDOURIOTIS.
Minister of Marine ln Venizelos
Cabinet Wins by Vote of
137 to S.
LONDON Oct. 28. The Greek cham
ber of - deputies has elected Admiral
P. Coundouriotls as regent of Greece
by a vote of 137 to S, says a dispatch
to the London Times from Athens.
Admiral Coundouriotls is minister of
marine in the Veniselos cabinet.
In September. 1916, Admiral Coun
douriotis, then commander-in-chietf of
the Greek navy, accompanied Pre
mier Venizelos and his followers when
they departed from Greece for the
island of Crete and set up a provision
al government to force Greece into
the war on the side of the entente
allies. The admiral was a co-signer
with Venizelos of he proclamation
establishing the provisional govern
ment, the power of which later
brought Greece Into the war and
forced the abdication of . King Con
stantino. Dispatches from Athens at the time
said that the departure of Admiral
Coundouriotls from Greece caused a
deep impression on King Constantine
and completely upset the morale of
the Greek fleet, some of 'the vessels
of which immediately left their an
chorages and joined the allied fleet
in the Aegean sea.
FORFEIT RIGHT GIVEN UP
ACTIOIT BY EXGLAJfD IS SUR
PRISE TO FRANCE.
Official Notification Given of Re
nunciation, of Privilege of Prop
erty Confiscation.
PARIS, Oct. 28. (By the Associat
ed Press.) The French foreign office
received official notification yester
day that Great Britain announces the
right of confiscation of German
property in the United Kingdom. This
has caused great surprise, which is
freely expressed in French official
circles.
French officials emphasis the
gravity of thia move, as they fear
Germany will make a similar request
of France, which it is declared could
not be granted. However, they point
out that the renunciation by Great
Britain is not as sweeping as report
ed at first. It was said at the foreign
office today that France would send
a reply to the British note but what
form the reply would take could not
be disclosed at this Juncture.
Official circles add that Great
Britain retains her rights in case of
voluntary default by Germany. The
paragraph of the treaty providing
for this contingency reads:
"The measures which the allied and
associated powers shall have the
right to take, in case of voluntary de
fault by Germany and which Ger
many agrees not to regard as acts of
war, may include economic and fin
ancial provisions and reprisals, and
in general such other measures as the
respective governments may deter
mine to be necessary in the circum
stances." MISS BRAIN ERD1 LOSES
