COX J 5 SPEECHES
FLAYS REPUBLICANS
Candidate arid Leaders Are
r Declared Reactionary.
LEAGUE CAUSE PUT FIRST
V
Harding "Surrounded ' ty Senato
rial King," Declares Democrat .
in Ohio Campaign. '
WHEELING, W.V.,'Ang. 14. Gov
' ernor Cox today threw his lorce into
the presidential campaign with five
speeches here and in Ohio, all flaying
what ba termed the republican "reac
tlonary candidate and leaders'" and
supporting the league of . nations as
the premier democratic cause. He
! Btormed the republican position, at
' packed the "senatorial oligarchy"
'which he said was trying to add the
L-""presidency to Its domi.na.tion, , de
"nounced proposals for a. 'separate
: peace with Germany as "perfidy" and
charged that "a few men were banded
together trying to buy the presi
dency." Millions on millions of dol
lars, he added, are being - taken Into
the republican campaign fund.
That Senator Harding? ' i's' "'sur
rounded by a senatorial ring," was
asserted by the governor. He added
that he could not be "kept muzzled,
on hLs front porch by any ring."
Addresses Made on War.
Motoring from Columbus, . the.
nominee made three- addresses en
route, at Zanesville. Cambridge, and
St. Clalrsville. Ohio, addressed the
West Virginia democratic convention
and a public meeting here tonight on
the river front. All through Ohio
. he received informal receptions.
The league was foremost in all of
. his addresses. The republican lead
.. ers, he charged,, are behind a "smoke
screen, of hypocrisy, for one thing
pure and simple, administration
' spoils." He also stressed what he
.declared was the fight between
"reactionary republicanism" and
"progressive democracy" and pre
'.' dieted his election.
..VrTba outstanding question of this
campaign," he told the state conven
";tlon. "is whether we are or are 'not
going to keep faith with the boys who
died in France."
' League Held Fledge to Dead. -
.4 Declaring that the league is a
pledge to those who died. Governor
Cox told of his visit with President
Wilson.
"I wish every American could have
been with me," he said. "The presi
dent's whole thought Is that he gave
a promise to the mothers of the na
tion when he asked them for their
boys, and he wants to live to see that
pledge fulfilled."
The governor declared that the
league also was a pledge which "will
make war impossible, or practically
so." The republican leadership, he
said, was acting in partisan "bad
faith" in opposing it.
The governor named Senator Lodge
as head of the "senatorial oligarchy."
When the Massachusetts senator
proposed compromising the treaty
reservations. Governor Cox said. Sen
ators Borah of Idaho, and Johnson of
California, "served notice they would
bring about a rupture of the re
publican party." The republican plat
form, therefore he asserted, was
"ambiguous and meaningless."
"Separate Peace" Scouted.
In cudgeling the proposal for "a
separate peace with Germany." Gov
ernor Cox said it came from Senator
Harding, adding:
"But he will never receive an op
portunity to make a separate peace.
There will be none, because I will
not make one.
"I was not nominated by a sena
torial ring nor any other kind of a
ring," the governor said tonight
here. "I decline to be tied to my
front porch by a senatorial ring. I
deny it the right to hold me there,
and when I am elected I do not In
tend that a senatorial ring, nor any
other kind of a ring shall own me.
I believe in the constitution and pres
ervation of the divided authority be
tween ine tnree co-ordinate branches
as our fathers intended, each retain
ing its independence, but not ex
ceeding its function."
Reactionary Control Charged.
The republican senators' purpose,
he declared, with a fling at what he
termed the "plural government" pro
posed by Senator Harding, is "to
make executive administration not
the affair of the responsible presi
dent himself, but of the ring that
surrounds him."
Charging the republican party with
being under reactionary control, the
governor said Colonel Roosevelt's
fight for Its reform was of but tem
porary effect.
"Domination by political figures,
once violently repudiated by the
American electorate, is undenied," he
declared, "ine men who control the
senate are determined to annex the
presidency to their domination, and
in what they believe to be a certain
republican year they - have done
things they would not have dared to
think of doing in the past.
Senate Arrogance Charged.
"Recognising the unrest and the
disposition of the people to shake
themselves from conditions that sur
rounded them tluring the war, they
argue that the electorate will return
to the party not In power. They have
nominated one of their number for
president and then they have at
tempted to fasten upon the rank and
ftle their creed of hate and intrigue.
They discuss plural government with
elf-evident candor. At times the
uppeej branch of congress has ex
ceeded its constitutional authority
and it Is dominated now with an ar
rogance without precedent.
"I recognize that the people are
restive: that their conveyances have
been Interfered with by war. and that
emergency taxes have been oppres
sive, but my message to the people
is: 'Scop, look and lister, before you
step. Ask yourselves what reaction
ary policies have meant in the past.
Reflect on the certain consequences
of a senatorial oligarchy taking over
the presidency and depriving it of
the characteristics of leadership
which the constitution intended." "

The fair grounds, situated in the
foothills of the Simcoe mountains
with a background of evergreen pine
forests, towered by the snowcapped
peaks of Mount Adams, Mount
Rainier, Mount St. Helens and
