COX HELD RULED BY
w
ID BOSSES
Hays Opens Maine Campaign
With Financing Talk.
PARTY METHOD IS UPHELD
'Most of Republican National Com
mittee Chairman' Address
la Devoted, to Funds.
AUGUSTA. Me., Aug. 21. Will H.
Rays, chairman of the republican na
tional committee, today opened his
party's campaign in this state, for
election of members of congress with
a speech in which ho asserted that
Governor Cox was dominated by
I'resident Wilson and four unnamed
"bosses."
Mr. Hays devoted much of his
speech to discussing campaign funds,
denying vigorously that the repub
lican party planned to expend exces
sive sums to elect Senator Hardius
and Governor Coolidge. Also denying
that millions had "gone into the re
publican treasury" from "certain in
terests banded together to buy the
presidency" a statement which he
credited to Governor Cox Mr. Hays
declared that this amounted to a
charge of conspiracy to betray the
country.
Financing Plan Discussed.
Referring to the republican plan
to limit individual campaign con
tributions to $1000, Mr. Hays said:
"If this attempt fails to produce
the requisite sums, we shall so state
publicly, increase the maximum, and
seek additional contributions."
Declaring that the party needed
about $3,000,000, Mr. Hays said that
no criticism of the democrats for
seeking the largest obtainable con
tributions would be offered. "Nor
shall we, in resentful emulation of
the positive charges of the democratic
candidates, so much as intimate that
their responsible officers will use any
part of their funds corruptly," he
paid. "Frankly and squarely, as be
tween mutual respecting citizens, we
don't believe they will or would if
they could.
"But I give fair warning now that
neither the republican candidates nor
the republican management will take
false aspersions lying down. . If. at
the decision of our adversaries, this
campaign shall finally resolve into a
question of personal charges, we
know of no reason, aside from na
tional distaste, why we should not
meet that issue as readily as any
other." . . ,
The text of Mr. Hays' speech fol
lows: .. Chicago Speech Recalled.
The functions of the chairman of
a national committee have never been
precisely defined. My own limited
experience, however, has convinced
me that the tasks which devolve upon
xne are sufficiently numerous and
onerous without including more of
speech making. The principles of our
party are set forth in our platform,
are elucidated by our candidates and
are amplified by our public speakers
and our public journals. It is an
admirable arrangement and one that
ehould suffice.
And yet I did maKe a speecn at m
Chicago convention. It was not long.
Indeed it was such a little one that
you may not have noticed it. I ut
tered three sentences, possibly four.
One I recall distinctly. It was to
the effect that the republican party
was meeting to accept from the peo
ple a mandate for the government of
the United States. That statement
was made in anticipation of the elec
tion to come in November. Of its
accuracy I am more firmly convinced
now on the eve of September than I
was then at the beginning of June.
1 declared further that the great
party of the union had become united
and "that there would be no bolt from
that convention. That prediction
has been fulfilled to a degree that
teemed hardly imaginable. V There,
was no bolt from the convention then;
there has been no bolt from the
party or from its candidates since.
Probably never before in the history
of our party has the natural strife
over nominations been followed by
so complete unanimity of acceptance
and approval. It is a part of my
business to detect and see signs of
disaffection, and I tell you honestly
that I have found none, either in fac
tions or among individuals. The
bringing of that splendidly encourag
ing message constitutes the chief rea
son for my being with you today.
Campaign Is Opened.
I addressed these few heartening
words to the delegates in Chicago
as your party chairman merely to
"open the convention." It is in the
same capacity that 1 now speak to
you on behalf of our resolute and per
fected organization to open the cam
paign. I shall say little of the issues in
volved. It is not necessary. They
are being unfolded and made clear
daily with incomparable lucidity, di
rectnees ana rranKness Dy your can
didates. It suffices for me to invite
your attention to one point of pe
culiar significance. We have shown
full readiness to meet your adver
saries upon any battlefield they might
choose.
When they concentrated us on the
league covenant without the dotting
cf an "I" or the crossing of a "T"
we met them squarely. When, through
their national chairman, fresh from
a conference with their candidate,
they pronounced the covenant only
a "secondary issue." after all. we
acquiesced. When the candidates re
versed their national chairman and
declared the Wilson league the eole
issue, we accepted most readily.
Where next they will land is
wholly conjectural. They may con
clude to stake their all upon weigh
ing of the relative merits of the re
spective candidates. They may pre
fer to contrast recent republican
cabinets with that which maintains
a wayward and hardly recognizable
existence.
I'rof Iteerlnp: In Conoidered.
They may wish to stand upon the
actual results of their eight-year-old
pledges to reduce the cost of living.
They may choose to dilate upon
their fresh promise to stop profiteer
ing, in the face of the fact that all
profiteering eprang into being and
continues to flourish under their own
auspices.
They may like to contrast the types
anu cna.ra.ci.ers oi justices or the su
prune court to be appointed by the
one or the other of the two nominees.
They may again rest upon their slo
gans or rour years ago "He kept
u a uui ui me w , reace, prepared
ntr.s ana prosperity," and "War in
Europe, peace in America; thank God
lor v iison.
They may seek popularity in sub
stituting for "first in war, first in
peace, iirst in tne nearts of his conn
trymen," an appellation far more apt
as of the moment, L,ast in war, last
in peace, gone from the hearts of his
countrymen.
It is for their new leader, now zig
zapging back and forth from the sin
lsier Diignt or tne soloist or the dem
ocratic party to the furtive presence
or its quartet of bosses, to make his
selection. It matters not to us. Our
ole requirement is that there shall
be no -restrictions. This referendum
is going to be more than solemn. It
is going to be great, the most com
prehensive known. Before ended it
will have comprised every phase of
maladministration and every fleck of
Wilsonites that have brought untold
miseries upon a people who have
every right to be prosperous and contented.
The democratic candidate appeals i
to both the Wilson and the anti-Wil-! KM
son factions of his party. o the
former he holds forth the president's
platform. To the latter he exhibits
himself as an advocate of complete
change in administration. Idealism
for the sentimentalists, patronage for .
the machinists that is his motto, and
he offers to the country for foreign
use the Wilson covenant and for do-,
mc.stic service Tammany hall truly a ,
marvelous combination of impotence i
and ill-repute.
Upon the highest authority we are
Informed that no man can serve two'
masters. But what of one master 1
and four bosses? Obviously with his 1
recognized dexterity, the democratic ,
candidate hopes to be able to hold to j
both, seemingly- despised by the one,
not loved by the other. What, pray,
can be deduced from the mental Dro- '
cesses of one who solemnly defines'!
the Monroe doctrine as The very es-.
sence of Article X," precisely as, with'
like accuracy, one might define vac
cine as the very essence of smallpox.
But . I have no wish to follow the
tertuous road to the trail's end at
least not yet.
Thus far. but one of the Joint as- j I
- - 1 , ' 1 yi l l ii c ucuiuciaiii; uttuui"
dates bears directly upon my depart-
ment. Speaking in Chicago on Au- I
gust 11, Secretary Roosevelt charged
that the republican campaign fund
would exceed $30,000,000. and added
that such a sum could not be hon
estly expended." Three days later.
in Wheeling. W. Va., according to
the New York Times' report. Gov-1
ernor Cox "caused a sensation and
brought, enthusiastic response when
he charged that certain interests
were banded together to buy the
presidency and that millions had
been contributed to the campaign
fund of the republican party with
esinisier intent.
"They want to be the sponsors of
tne American government, said Gov
ernor Cox. "I assure you that they
win not, ana that the government-
will be sponsor of their activities.
Their check-book -t are ready and I
open, and hundreds of thousands
yea, millions have gone into the re
publican treasury to buy an under-
hoiq on tne government.

Better spend a dollar wisely than a

Financing Plan Explained.
Mr. Roosevelt gave as his authority
for his accusation "an item he had
read in a newspaper." Mr. Cox sub
mitted no evidence whatever. Both
these men knew that the republican
national commission had adopted a
plan, which I announced more than
a year ago. for financing . our cam
paign by a method of decentralized
giving, obtaining small contributions
from a great many, with a limit of
$1000 as a maximum for any contri
bution: that Mr. Harding had pub
licly approved the plan, and that the
committee had readopted it after he
was nominated.
- Knowing all this. Mr. Roosevelt as
serted that our campaign fund would
reach the colossal sum of $30,000,000
and Mr. Cox declared, apparently of
his own knowledge, that millions have
already "gone into the republican
treasury" from "certain interests
banded together to buy the presi
dency." They thus deliberately accused Mr.
Harding, your national committee and
myself of being engaged in a con
spiracy to betray our country.
That I submit is a serious charge.
If it could be substantiated no pun
ishment of those found guilty could
be too severe. It cannot be, of course,
for the quite simple reason that it is
not true. Do vou think Mr. Cox be
lieved it was true? Do you think Mr.
Roosevelt believed it was true? I do
not. and yet they had the audacity to
utter this outrageous falsehood, deny
ing the truthfulness and reflecting
upon the honor of fellow citizens, for
one of whom at least they have pro
fessed the fullest respect. Their pur
pose is plain. They can hardly hope
to deceive the thoughtful but they do
mean to impose upon the credulous.
Frankly, I do not believe they can do
either. My concern at any possible
political effect of such defamatory
illusions, therefore, even when put
forth by authority of men deemed by
their fellow partisans worthy of hold
ing the highest of honors, is slight.
The personal aspects may be ignored.
Difficulties Are Cited.
What does sadden me is that calum
nies such as this can be spread broad
cast through the columns of great
journals without evoking rebuke from
tne guides ana leaders of public opin
ion who control those powerful
agencies. There has been no secret
about what we are trying to do. I
nave aiscussea tne matter personally
with manv of the foremost editors
of independent and democratic news
papers throughout the country. I have
pointed out the difficulties necessarily
involved in effecting so marked an
innovation. I have sought their ad
vice and suggestions and invariably
have received assurance of sym
pathetic co-operation in what amounts
to no more, no less than an earnest
endeavor to eliminate money as
controlling factor from American
politics.
iotning nas been and, of course,
nothing will be concealed. By reason
of the enlarged electorate and the
greatly increased cost of all thintrs
we figure that there will be required
a total of about $3,000,000, an average
of about 10 cents a voter. Part of
tnis has been received in small con-
iriDuuons irom inaiviauals, &o per
cent ot wnom nave never oerore sub
scribed to party funds. The larger
part oi tne totai, we nope, we will be
able to raise under the plan of limited
suDscriptions which thus far h
proved successful. If this attempt
should fail to produce the requisite
sums, we snail so state publicly, in
crease the maximum and seek ad
ditional contributions. But should it
succeed, as I believe it will, the
achievement, if I may quote a prom
inent democratic editor, "would far
transcend in ultimate and definite
good to the country the election of
a aozen presidents.
Endeavor Declared Worthy.
In any case, the endeavor surelv
cannot be pronounced unworthy of
commenaation or even of encourag-
ment. We have not tried to make
political capital out of the idea. We

banner to the stars and stripes as
a symbol of the great republic. There
shall be but the one flag. But that
flag I would paint and hold for a
moment to the light of heaven that
all might mark the difference be-
ween the old and the new. There
would be no need to post that ban
ner. It was raised first at Dorches-
er heights by George Washington.
But a few days ago I saw it re
raised in Marion, O.. by Warren G.
Harding. For nearly 150 years it
has floated over this free land, and
never once been lowered. And at the
base of the pole I would draw, facing

moment upon the 23d part of the
8 which gleam from the background
of blue. That is your star, the star
of Maine, the north star of the union,
unblemished from the time more than
a century ago when it was added to
the galaxy on our national emblem.
Let it not be tarnished now.
Illumine it fresh by sending forth
the message that Maine continues in
