2. THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 22, 1920 COX ATTACKS FORCE USE TO END STRIKES Labor Problems Discussed in Canton Address. RIVAL PARTY IS ACCUSED targe Interests Declared Contrib uting to Republican Cam paign Expenses. CANTON'. O.. Aug. 21. Labor prob lems, the league of nations and re publican campaign contributions were featured by Governor Cox in an ad dress here tonight and also today at Orrville, O. Settlement of Industrial contro versies by force of public opinion in stead of bayonet, while order is main tained and neither side aided by the government, was urged by the gov ernor here tonight. The labor issue was emphasized in this community in which Governor Cox figured during the steel strike for refusing to send troops and also by removing a demo cratic mayor. "Large interests are contributing to the republican campaign fund," he declared, "because they want to buy an administration under which sol diers and the bayonet will be used to Bottle difficulties." Adjustment la Discussed. On the league issue Governor Cox declared "there cannot be an eco nomical readjustment in America un til things are tied together in other parts of the world," and reiterated arguments that America should enter the league to "keep faith" with Amer ican soldiers and the allies. He de nounced a separate peace with Ger many. Keply also was made by Governor Cox at Orrville to the address of Sen ator Harding defending the senate. He said Mr. Harding had failed to distinguish between the senate as an institution and the group of repub lican senators who, he said, have "formed a domineering, arrogant oli garchy" trying "to annex the presi dency." In discussing labor. Governor Cox declared that the government "must preserve person and protect prop erty." I.avr and Order Advocated. "It must maintain law and order," he said, "being careful that neither i . I -. , n i "i . n. V. oill'flnfflD'li " "Both labor and capital should un derstand that force must surrender its place to calm reason. The future of the country demands it. "There is no sympton of present tendencies more dangerous than the eagerness of some industrial cap tains to intrench themselves in the favor and gratitude of public officers, with the very definite idea that force can be invoked, if occasion arises, to compel settlements. Such" a policy is the mere manufacturing plan of bol-hevism." SPENCER TO QUIT PROBE Missouri Senator to Resign From Senate Special Committee. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 21. Senator S. P. Spencer announced today he would resign as a member of the senate special committee investigat ing campaign expenditures. He issued a statement stating he will be a candidate for re-election and would psefer being no longer a member of the committee, as the investigation might be extended into the expendi tures of candidates during the prim ary election and that under those conditions his own expenditures would be subject to investigation. Mr. Spencer's resignation, however, will not take effect until the com mittee has completed its inquiry into the campaign expenditures of the r.r,.sirt.ntil M n rl irla t ps. The committee will resume its meetings in Chicago on Monday, accoraing 10 ai&paicncs receiveu today. , among the means which the republi cans rely upon to get out a maximum party vote. It is not in the republi can scheme of things to have the presidential candidate do the bulk of the campaigning at least, not yet or be the chief reliance for getting out the vote. The republican campaign is being conducted largely according to sched ule. The democrats may Jibe at Hard ing for staying at hone, and may get as much pleasure as they choose out of jokes about the "sleeping porcll campaign," the "rocking chair cam paign" and the "hammock campaign." The republicans are quite willing for the democrats to get as much fun out of that as they can. The republi cans have all along intended to do it just that way, and they are proceed ing according to a schedule which may or may not turn out to be suc cessful, but which is not at all acci dental or casual and was worked out with intelligence. More Activity lue Later. Of course, the republicans do intend that things shall he a little more active later on. Their schedule con templates a gradual acceleration of discussion and activity. A little later on, if the republican campaign con tinues to go according to schedule, you will see Marion the center and fountain head of policies and utter ances, carefully worked out, which will be more impressive and more attention-catching than the recent out givings. It was never the intention of the republicans to make the cam paign exciting, but a little later on there will be an effort to make it im pressive in a serious way. The fact is, it was and is up to the democrats to make the campaign ex citing, to be aggressive, and to make things lively. Thing3 were running in favor of the republicans. Every body might as well admit that. The success of the republican congres sional campaign two years ago was abundant evidence of it, and the re publicans always have considered there is no reason to doubt that the trend of 1918 continues to be the trend of 1920. The only factor that has intervened Is the league of nations, as an issue, and the republicans are fully confident that by the time the election comes they will have that issue in such shape that they need not fear its reducing their strength below what was their strength in 1918, The republicans had things going their way, and it was up to the dem ocrats to reverse it. It is apparent the democrats haven't created enough activity yet, as they must create, if they are to win. One reason why the democratic campaign is not going actively is a balfling change made in their prb gramme some time between April and August. Before the democratic convention met it was the theory of the demo crats, and particularly of those very democratic managers who nominated Cox that their best" opportunity lay in taking advantage of the "wet" and "dry" issue. Thev belirvorf that the drastic enforcement of pro hibition was unpopular, and they pro posed to capitalize that unpopularity to their advantage. In certain local elections, notably in New Jersey, they naa seen a candidate for governor. running on a "wet" issue, win a remarkable victory under otherwise adverse circumstances. It was New Jersey, in fact, that gave them their cue for this "wet" line of campaign. j.ne pian or these national demo cratic managers to take advantage of this condition was an intelligent and promising bit of strategy. They naa u an worKea out. They used to talk of their plans in terms of a military campaign, and thev taun familiarly of capturing the "eastern salient" of the republicans. By "east ern sauem- iney meant New Jersey, New York and some other eastern states which went republican in 191X and where a large element of the pop- "" ia now restless under prohibition.

An Anglo-German alliance advocated by Arthur von Kemnitz, writing in the Taege lische Rundschau. Von Kemnitz, na tionalist member of the reichstag and author of the note to Mexico di patched during Herr Zimmerman's regime in the foreign office, in which Mexico was asked to join with Ger many against the United States, re Jects the idea of making bolshevik .Russia the "pivot for Germany's for eign policy." "I admit," he declared, "that the very thought of an alliance with England is nauseating, but it is the only way open. REPUBLICANS ARE LATENT (Continued From First Page.) speakers lunctionlng- in smaller com munities, which the country a.s a whole does not know about, are "Red Rock" Cottage . Cheese tempting delicious satisfying Because "Red Rock" is good for you, you ought to eat more of it. Eat it every day I From meadows of clover WW nated Cox was this: They knew they had the solid south anyhow. "With the 11 southern states that will go democratic under any circumstances they would have 125 electoral votes to start with. In addition to these, they believed that with" a "wet" issue they would have a good chance to carry four im portant eastern and middle western states, namely Massachusetts, with 18electoral votes, New York with 45, New Jersey with 14, and Ohio, with 34. These 101 electoral Votes added to the 125 southern ones would make 226. They would still need 40 elec toral votes, for the number necessary to win is 266. To get these 40 additional votes, they believe they had a better chance through appealing to the "wets" than in any other way. In the first place tnere are three border states, namely Kentucky with 13 votes, Maryland with eight, and Missouri with 18. AJ1 three of these would be 'expected or dinarily to be hard-fought contests. The balance might readily be swung one way or the other. Maryland and Kentucky being two of the largest whisky manufacturing states in the union, and Missouri being one of the largest beer manufacturing, it is en tirely Intelligent to anticipate that the "wet" issue might carry these states. Other States Relied On. All these states mentioned so far would give the democrats within one of enough electoral votes to win. To get that extra electoral vote as well as to take the place of any of the states which they might have mis calculated, they relied upon a num ber of other states in which they felt the "wet" issue would have consider able popularity. One was California, where the wine industry is important. California has 13 votes. Another was Connecticut with seven votes. An other Indiana with 15 votes. Another Rhode Island with five votes. That was the democratic strategy for this -year as originaUy conceived. Apparently it has all been changed. Why it has been changed your corres pondent can only surmise, and he has not a yet sufficient assurance in the correctness of that surmise to give it to the public In all likelihood the motives that caused the change of strategy will be clear later. The one thing that is now clear is that the plan of campaign has been changed. Nelthef Cox himself nor the democratic management is doing any thing along the line of the "wet" issue which, according to the original plan, was to have tfeen the burden of the campaign. One part of the strategy as orlg inally conceived, included putting a "wet" plank Into the democratic plat form that was prevented by the vigil ance of Bryan and the other "drys," but that alone would not account for the apparent change in strategy; an other element that disrupted this plan of campaign was the fact that a split arose in New York state between the "wet" democrats who helped to nominate Cox and the "drys" who were friends of McAdoo. Cox Turns to New Issue. Whatever the motives. Governor Cox since his nomination seems to have changed entirely the plan of campaign as originally outlined by those who nominated him. Instead of making the democratic drive for the "wet" vote and winning the eastern salient. Governor Cox is apparently making his drive for the progressive in the west. Your correspondent rather expects before the campaign is" much older to se Cox putting less emphasis on the league of nations and thrusting for ward his appeal to the progressives on the basis of his own record while governor of Ohio, as his chief weapon asr&.inst the republicans. If he can succeed in getting the campaign into tl.is field it will be a lively one, for Cox is unmistakably aggressive al most to the point of ruthlessness, in mr.klng this sort of attack.
