II1IUIILI IILULHILUy I SAYS SALES By Ward A. Irvine Branding assertion by Harding; followers that Governor Cox la op posed to salesmanship as a profes sion as a' "misrepresentation, even greater than that practiced against the League of Nations' ErWin A. Taft. a member of the United Com .merclal .Travelers of America, in a statement lsued Jtoday. made a fiery attack on those responsible for spreading the misleading report. With other local traveling men lie ex pressed his Indication at such political tactics and brands them as "insulting to the intelligence of traveling men of America." Taft agrees thai an edl- MAN l. tnFlnl annura In nn or C iOVrrtlOr UOI newspapers in 1514 referring to the profession' as a "nuisance" while the governor was in Columbus, but he sub mit an order dispatched by Cox imme diately Initiating that the article be re- pudlated, as evidence 6f the governor's views on the editorial. ATTEMPT TO MISLEAD . 'Governor Cox is not opposed to sales manship and never was," Is the state ment of Taft. "For the Harding fol lowers to spread such a report is a de liberate attempt to mislead the salesmen of this country. A pamphlet has been sent broadcast by the Republican com mittee and Stanhope Pier of Portland took occasion to write a letter to u local newspaper referring to the editorial, but leaving out, either through Ig norance of the facts or a deliberate at- . tempt to misrepresent them, the repudi ation of the editorial by the popular Ohio, governor. V.l "As soon as the editorial appeared, Governor Cox sent the following tele gram to D. li. Kumler, managing editor j of the Dayton News : "Sly attention has been called to an editorial which appeared In the Daily Kews In criticism of commercial trav elers. This is an Insult so gratuitous and uncalled for, an affront to an or ganisation of men who have made the present development of the American market possible, and is so radically in conflict with the policy of the news papers which I own and control that I request you to insist at once upon the editorial writer responsible for it pub lishing an apology addressed to the com mercial travelers over his signature without unnecessary delay ! MK8HA0E IS SUPPRESSED "That message the Harding followers have deliberately suppressed," Taft con tinued. "And that is not all. They Ignored the retraction published In the " Dally Ncwi at Cox's request. They for . got to tell about Governor Cox accepting the resignation of the editorial writer after the apology had been published. They didn't talk about the message sent to Governor Cox's secretary by the edi torial writer on July 23 last. In which he said: . If my old editorial which was used six years ago is brought up I wish it known that I was solely responsible for it, and any attempt to connect Governor Cox's name with it would be as unjust and as despicable as It was in 1914. "Nor did they mention the letter writ ten by Oovernor Cox to Sol Wolerstein of the National Council of Traveling Salesmen's associations. In It he said : "I recognize the fact that considera tion in proper measure has -not been given -the commercial travelers In either legislative or economic programs com mensurate with the service they have rendered the government. COX IDEA DEFINITE I have some very definite Ideas on the subject and if I am elected to the f office of president I shall continue In the future, as I have in the past, to take into my counsel men who represent the traveling commercial Industry, be cause' my experience has taught me in no way can a public official better se cure the real trend of public opinion, and public opinion la the thing that must rule In America. They are entitled to a full hearing and due consideration in every measure af fecting the welfare of the country and themselves. "All these facts were suppressed," Taf emphasized, "in an apparent attempt to befog the real issues of the campaign and secure the votes of the commercial Health Underwear eMen,Womcn and Children Change your underwear!
