OAKLAND, Cal., Sept 18.
Sugar profiteers were arraigned
here tonight by Governor James
M. Cox, Covernor Cox reviewed
attempt b the president to de
throne profiteers who have reign
ed for "five long years, sordid,
soulless, ugly and hateful.' .
"I am in favor, in circumstances
like this., the governor said, "of
the government, through congress,
supplying a rotary fund . to be
placed in the bands of the presi
dent tor the purchase of as much
ot the sugar crop as is' necessary
to prevent profiteering. II elected
In November I shall recommend
to the congress that this be done
for future emergencies In food
supplies.
Strikes at Profiteer
"The extent to which profiteer
ing prevailed during the war. and
especially since the signing of the
armistice, has been outrageous,
The amount stolen from house
holders of America In that time
by the profiteers would pay off the
greater part of the funded debt
arising from the war Itself.
"It must be more than a coin
cldence that the many profiteers
who were protected by the sena
to rial allgarchy in the present
congress are paying their share
into the Republican campaign
fund, which I charge will not be
leta than 815,000.000." '
Governor Cox pointed out rela
tion of radical activities to pritl-
teering.
"Whenever sober thinking peo
ple develop resentment against
government. ' he said, "you al
ways find that the case has been
one of government impotency or
neglect in the face ot a crisis.
When conditions are obviously
wrong and unjust, the great mass
of our. people look upon tbe gov
ernment tor the relief on the oc
casion that Individual action or
community co-operation is net ef

Speaks of Radiral!ni
In my travels through western)
country I studied carefully the
symptoms of so-called radical
movements. Leaders ot them. In
some instances, are radicals in the
truest sense, but the. rank and file
I have foound to be a sincere, well
intentioned people who complain
and complain bitterly of abuses
which the government could have
corrected but did not because it
was in reactionary hands.
Sites Itefjrn or Sugar.
"The recent reign ot the profi
teers who oowned the supply ot
sugar is an impressive instance.
Definite remedial jneasares were
suggested and submitted, anad as
definitely rejected by a Republi
can congress in a aasiaraiy . at
tempt to keep the people in dis
tress hat reactionary influences
might win a presidential election
in 1920. The senatorial oligarchy,
which . has '' assumed Republican
leadership fiddled gleefully yt hlle
the great mass of our people was
in distress. With full knowledge
of the tacts, they , looked calmly
upon the" most shameless proofi
teerlnr which . indefensible greed
could impose upon Its helpless vic
tims. Has Harding .A Remedy? -uAnd
now comes , forward the
candidate of the senatorial oli
garchy with the mere statement to
the people that excessive profiteer
ing is criminal and should oe
stopped. "He presents no sugges
tions for the prevention of crime
or the apprehension ot the crimi
nals." What In 'reality he does is
to prepare the way for a new era
of high prices and profiteering by
announcing his intention of chang-
Ing our tariff rate3 to tnose or. a
highly protective system,"
SA NFRANCISCO Governor
Cox, in an address here today De-

referred to Herbert Hoover as the

Is no doubt about that. Harding
Will carry Ohio Just as surely as
the sun rises; It Is only a ques

will be. It Is estimated all the

The fight is very bitter, and has
developed Into a campaign ot per

though It is, will have absolutely
no effect upon the national tick

fight, and a discussion of Its ef

which can better be written after

any political observer familiar
with the Illinois primary fight
it is a simple thing to see ow
