Inalienable
right of every American
citizen to get drunk, and in the right
of the village undertaker and the
keeper of the Jag cure aanitarium to
collect revenue from the liquor busi
ness. Enforcement la Scoffed At.
In Just eight words, the democratic
nominee disposed of the 18th amend
ment and the Volstead prohibition en
forcement act. That Senator Harding
should have promised law enforce
ment scoffed at as "unnecessary" by
Mr. Cox, who used the eight words,
however, to say that the prohibition
amendment and the Volstead act were
useless because "morals cannot easily
be produced by statute."
The Cox speech further indicated,
as heretofore pointed out, the need of
a democratic setting: further on the
issue. For example, when it was an
nounced in New York three days ago
that Harding, if elected, would im
mediately convene congress and rec
ommend among other things the re
peal of the excess profits taxes, nu
merous democratic newspapers de
nounced such a proposition as a bld
to Wall street."

f found,"
Mr. Cox said: "I believe that a bet-
form of taxation than the so-
excess profits tax may be
and asserted he favored a
wider distribution of this burden. Re
publican leaders said that Mr. Cox'
speech showed a lack of knowledge
of all that had been going on in Wash
ington during the. last year or two of
the Wilson administration; whose sins
he cheerfully saddled upon himself
for better or worse.
Congress Condemned for Tax.
For Instance, he condemned the re
publican congress for failure to re
duce the tax burdens, obviously over
looking, they said, the fact that both
Secretary of the Treasury Glass and
his successor, David F. Houston, ap
peared before the last session of con
gress and decried any tnougnt 01 re
vision or reduction of taxes for an
other year and possibly for two
years.
Relative to his declaration for
budget system, which is but an elabo
ration of the democratic platform
plank on the same subject, the candi
date is to be reminded that a re
publican congress passed a budget bill
in the last session which was vetoed
by the democratic president because
of soma trifling encroachment on
autocratic executive powers. The Cox
charges, made many times before and
repeated in this , speech, that lasge
sums have been collected by the re
publicans for no purpose except to
buy a governmental underhoid, it was
pointed out, have their answer in the
policy of the republican national com
mittee up to this time of accepting no
contribution larger than $1000 from
one individual.
Big Issue Hidden in Eight Words.
During his recent visit to this city
Mr. Cox' new chairman, George
White, said he would not agree to any
such a limit of campaign contribu
tions. But, as said before, after all.
the Issues featured by Mr. Cox are
not half so important as the one
which he attempted to conceal in
eight words, submerged in a para
graph of which it is no coherent
part. It Is not difficult to observe
here in the east the hope that has
taken possession of the "wets" since
the nomination of Governor Cox.
They have come out in the open in
their efforts both to help Cox and
to restore liquors of high alcoholic
content.
The most candid of the lot. how
ever, is J. R. Buckeydge, an official
of the New Jersey liquor Interests,
who announced during the week that
the friends of wines and beer would
be urged to support Cox. The slogan
which he announced was "Wets and
wets only," meaning that only known
friends of liquor were to have the
support of the "wets."
Wets Boldneas Revealed.
The boldness with which the wets
supporting Cox have set about to
overturn prohibition has been re
vealed in several spots during the
last week. One example was the
,Tammany platform adopted by the
New York democratlo convention!
declaring for modifying the Volstead
act to permit 2.75 beer. Another
evidence was a ruling on Thursday
by the democratic attorney-general of
Maryland, an ardent Cox supporter,
that the police of Baltimore were
under no obligations to assist the
federal government in enforcing the
Volstead act.
In the Virginia primaries. the
wets" fought in the open and boast
now that they nominated three of
their own kind for seats in congress.
defeating as many "dries" at the
same time.
At the same time, the society col
umns tell of Postmaster-General
Burleson being down the river as the
house guest for the week of Robert
Crain. who is asking the supreme
court to grant a rehearing on the
Volstead act. Immediately on read
ing the Cox speech, republicans an
nounced their readiness to accept the
issue of the Wilson league of n
tions, but back of all these state
ments was the apparent conscious
ness that an issue can not be made
