I; COX
PUTTY
MA
MAN
0 STRENGTH
Senator Warren O. Harding was
pictured as a "man of putty," a
"trickster," a "hesitating:, doubting-,
weakling reactionary," In an address
by Ann Shannon Monroe, popular
writer, before the Cox-Roosevelt club
of St. Johns and Portsmouth, at St.
Johns Tuesday evening. On the
other hand, Miss Munroe painted
Cox as a "men of his own convic
tions," a "man of power," a "fight
er," standing on his own feet and
hewing his own way to attainment
of his progressive purposes. The
comparison was given In telling why
the women of America will support
Cox and Roosevelt.
HARDING 18 RILE5T
The Republican platform says that
'the people are entitled to know in defi
nite terms how the parties purpose solv
ing these problem.' Miss Monrqe said.
"Has Harding suggested one single
method T He saya he wants us to know
'his thought on the league.' Well, he
has had so many 'thoughts If we try
to know them all we get tangled. Has
he answered the California Japanese
question? Yen with platitudes about
what 'the nation owes to the Pacific
coast states.' Not a nvllatiln nirnurtlnr
how he 'purposes solving" this problem.
He prattles of the 'common welfare,'
but he objects to the workmen's com
pensation act. He meanders along about
how he values women, but he was op
posed to passing the maternity bill that
would give more relief to more women
than his buttered words of a lifetime
could secure. He patters along about
"humane regulation of labor,' but voted
against humane labor lawn.
POHITIVE WAX WANTING
"Olfford Pinchot says 'He Is by no
means made to my order, but he is a
Republican.' Clarence True Wilson says
'Harding is the last Republican I want
ed for a candidate.' Taft says, 'He Is no
master mind, but he's a Republican.' We
have not had one positive plan from
his speeches, we can base no hope on
his record Vthe senate; nothing In his
present utterances gives us a basis for
hone In the future.
"Now, where do we find Cox? Defi
nite, fearless, four square, standing on
his record as public official which is
all to the good, all constructive, all
one long progressive fight against the.
things Harding's backers and owners
stand for. He Is not wet clay with the
Impress of powerful hands all over him.
He stands on his own feet, fearlessly on
his record of Drotrressive lee-Utntlnn
. "America cannot be dragged backward

government was instructed today by

ous complaints to the city auditor.
She demanded the matter come be
fore the council.
She contends she received a notice

when, as a matter of fact, her resi
dence has been in Portland for 12
years.
Commissioner Pier, In charge of
the bureau of finance, will take the
matter up at a special meeting. ,
by the intolerable treachery of a little
handful of political manipulators. ' We
women are thinking, if you please you
can't catch us with mere palaver; our
vote will be with Cox, along with that
of the best men of the nation."

HARDING'S VOTE
IN SENATE WAS
ALWAYS NEGATiV
E
Record Shows He Was Opposed
to System of Farm Loans, Ship
ping Board and 8-Hour Law.
Washington. Oct. 13. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL.) If the country had adopted
the lead of Senator Harding, upon
his record aa a senator, it would
have no farm loan system, no ship
ping board, no 'eight hour law for
railroad employes, and there would
have been no federal control of
railroads during the war. He op
posed all of these and voted against
all except the farm loan bill and 'the
eight hour bill, when he was marked
absent.
Had the country depended on Harding
for enactment of the draft law. or the
child labor law, or the bill to stimulate
agricultural production during the war.
on the bill returning the railroads to
their owners, no telling what might
have happened, for he was absent each
time.
VOTED AGAI58T REVEStE
Just before the country entered the
war, February 28, 1917. Harding voted
against the revenue bill necessary ".o
sustain the government. He had favored
a bond issue for raising the money.
On that occasion, and on later oc
casions, he voted against amendments
offered by progressive senators of the
Republican party to Increase the pro
portion of income taxes in the higher
brackets, which would have lessened the
burden for the smaller taxpayers.
He voted against the bill to create
an employment bureau in the department
of labor. The Harding theory Is that
this Is not a function of government
There would have been no war finance
corporation to regulate the Issue of
securities In war time and conserve the
financial strength of the nation In war
time had Harding been followed, for he
voted against It. He likewise voted
against the bill to Jail sedltlonlsts and
plotters.
He voted to reduce appropriations foi
the federal trade commission when
Smoot, Watson and Sherman were try
ing to cripple the commission following
Its exposure of the methods of the big
packers. Kenyon, Norrls and .other
progressive Republicans eaved the ap
propriation. ALSO OPPOSES FUND AMENDMENT
