Cox’s paper, in which traveling salesmen were referred to as “unmitigated bores”. is to be brought to the atten- tion of the St. Paul council of the United Commercial Travelers Satur- day night, it was said yesterday. ‘The editorial will be brought before the traveling men under the head of “communications.” Rules of the or- der will prevent formal action, trav- eling men declared. J, D. Shields, 225 West Fifteenth street, Minneapolis, wrote Governor Cox, demanding an_ explanation. Charles E. Morris, secwetary of the Democratic: candidate for the pres- idency, replied that the editorial was published while Mr. Cox was gover- nor of Ohio and not in actual charge of his newspaper, that a retraction was printed and that such matters should not be brought into the cam- paign. G, 0..P. Withholds Comment Officials of the Republican State Central committee declined to com- ‘ment on the incident yesterday, Dem- ocrats said that Secretary Morris’ let- ter should be sufficient explanation. The editorial was printed in the Dayton, Ohio, News, August 15, 1914. It said in part: “The art of salesmanship is a good deal of a nuisance to the public. It has come to the point where every business of any magnitude must .em- ploy'a purchasing agent, whose time is largely wasted by men who want to sell him something and from whom he has'no intention of buying. Yet he must treat them courteously and listen to long rigmaroles in which he is not the least interested. “If there is no purchasing agent, somebody else has to submit to in- numerable interruptions of salesmen who are unmitigated bores. “If a man would exercise the first impulses of his heart, he would kick them out of his office if they did not take the first hint. That the salesman escapes With a whole skin in every in- stance, speaks. volumes: for’ the good nature of the tong suffering business man. “If these ‘slatements “apsty to the ‘traveling ‘man,’ what ‘shall be; said of the activities of the multifarious ‘agent’ who has-for salel/every/tevice under the sun? “The housekeeper who has not the most forceful manner and who is not willing to be cold and brusque is at the mercy of peddlers who go from door to door. “The man in an office bujlding js no more immune unless he‘\is fortune enough to be in an office building which forbids agents to circulate, or is fortified by a private office senti- neled by an alert and ever watchful office boy or secretary.” Editorial Printed. Twice The Sample Case, official organ of the U. C. T., is authority for the statement that the ‘editorial was re- printed by the Springfield News, the governor's other paper, before the re- traction appeared in the Dayton News and that the retraction did not meet with the approval of the traveling men of Ohio. Charles E. Morris’ letter in reply to Shields’ letter follows: “This will acknowledge the receipt of your letter addressed to Governor Cox. I think Mr. John A. Millener, general counsel of the United Com- mercial Travelers of America, prob- ably is familiar with the circumstance referred to in your note. I can only say that the editorial referred to, printed in the Dayton News, August 15, 1914, was printed at a time when Governor Cox was functioning as chief evecutive of the state of Ohio, that when the matter was brought to his attention in Columbus a retraction was immediately demanded of the edi- tor who wrote it, and the editor ac- cepted full responsibility and severed his connection with the paper the first of the following month. “This, of course, was a matter of deep regret to Governor Cox, who numbers among his very warmest friends some of the best known travel- ing salesmen in the country. “Now in frankness let me ask you if it does not appear in all honesty that the campaign for presidential elec” tion is in bad shape when issues vital to the country cannot be offered for discussion, but one of the parties to the contest must report to pettiness of this nature, going back so far as six the decision to continue the present 000 Incorporators, A.

DAK. TO Mono Ok Co ee a OF PRICE REDUCT ION . N ORDER to keep in pace ath the level of raw ma- terial prices declining, we beg to call attention to the new change in prices on all Studebaker Cars. It is not a case of wages falling down the reason for this change in price; or an over-stocked market of , Studebaker Cars; but the cause rests on shrewd buy- ing of raw material and large output, together with manufacturers being compelled to put their goods down . to reasonable values. It has always been the policy of the Studebaker plant to give the car buying public every advantage of the market conditions, and this is one of our chances now. .
