' When it was alleged that Mr. Cox, then govern- \ or of Ohio, hail interceded with federal authorities \to have James and Robert Scripps, sons of the multi-millionaire owner of a string of some twen- ty-four newspapers, exempted from military setv- f rpg the war, Mr. Cox entered the oe jenial 1 one in Nase I never spoke or wrote a word to the ie president, the secretary of war or to any | draft board asking the exemption of |” Mr. Scripps, any one in his organization i or any one else. When the files of local draft boards finally drifted into Washington and became available,, the Scripps case was examined and a long and urgent appeal, signed by James’ M. Cox, governor, for ex- emrtion, was discovered, addressed, however, to the editorial director of the Scripps league news- ‘papers. The record shows that Mr. Cox’s appeal was turned down by the local draft board,*subse- “quently the case was ordered ‘to Washington on appeal and the ;papers came, to=President Wilson, . Secretary Baker and next to Gen. Crowder, who ' doubtless acted for exemption of the Scripps boys on instructions from the secretary of war and the president. . It does not so much matter that a couple of yel- ‘ow Scripps kids escaped their duty to their coun- try, for the bos who did go to France will see that the fact is not forgotten. There is, however, the little matter of denial by the Democratic presiden- tial candidate. Ought not that be remembered along with the Scripps cowardice? How: would you view Mr. Cox’s cheap attempt ‘to get away from the thing he did. Would it not have been the manly thing to have stood by his’ letter on behalf of the Scripps boys? * Jf it was the proper thing to do why attempt to conceal the fact, why deliberately mislead the public by such broad and sweeping impressions as are certainly intended in Mr. Cox’s denial? Tactics of this sort are at times restorted to by ward politicians. Mr. Cox is a candidate for presi- i dent. He has the honor, if such it be, of being the | isecond Democratic presidential candidate to delib- eryately and wantonly attempt to deceive the public. Has anybody heard of any of the big smokes of the Democratic party sending congratulations to Tom Watson on his noble victory for the senator- ship in Georgia? With: Hatding, Cox and Watkins alt out of the state at the same time, Ohio must have seemed like a quiet Sunday in some New England village. ; TO AVOID EMBARRASSMENT. Realizing that the Wilson administration and the Wilson League of Nations have been repudiated by the American people, and neither are held m high esteem on the other side of the Atlantic, the presi- dent’s most intimate friends and advisers are sub- mitting to him the propriety of resigning the office of president and permitting Vice President Marshall to complete the term. is is done for two reasons. The shattered staté of the president’s health which is known to be in such condition that he has not been able for _ moriths to exercise the functions of chief executive. | *The‘second reason is the certamty of Senator Hard- ling’s election as the successor. The president's advisers are perfectly aware that: he will be totally physically unable to assume any of the customary duties at the inaugural of a new: president, devolving upon the retiring chief They know, too, that it would be personally preferable to Mr. Wilson to have Senator Harding receive the presidency from some other person than himself. -The strongest reason being that by this aes ici course the president would save himself from hav- ae pci pum kik Be oer ee opposite political a er 1 A See eae of plies A cary fiends of the presideht in devising this unpre- tube plan admit that they have been actuated | entirely by the hope that the president may be saved some of the embarrassment inevitable with ‘an unhappy ending of his League of Nations pro- gram. Entire justification for relinquishing the reins of government would be found in a fr statement to the public regarding his state of health. The family that advertised for a cook “with a little Scotch in her,” has not been successful as yet. Good cooks are notoriously scarce, but ome answer- ing the requirements of the advertisement is olaet hopeless in — times. WHAT WILL HE DO? When* Mr. €ox tells a questioner at Mitchell, -S. that; - “I shall oppose any measure that ié in conflict with the constitution of the United States and the eighteenth amendment ds interpreted by the supreme. court,” he simply ducks the issue. Any. simpleton would oppose an unconstitu- tional measure after being so declared by the high- est court in the land; but the supreme court has not ruled upon the right.of congress to fix the per- centage of alcoholic content in beverages. Congress is believed to hold this right. Mr. Cox, having been nominated: through the wet interests and having ‘heretofore favored and been aligned on that side of the issue, the question ‘ for him to answer is, what he will do as president in case a Démocratic congress attémpts to repeal either the eighteenth amendment or the Volstead enforcing act or to increase the lawful percentage of alcohol in beverages? Will he veto or will he sign? That's what the people want to kndéw. No other than foolish people would purchase $21,000,000 worth of ambulance harness. and then find out that the ambulances were motorized. OBEY YOUR OWN JUDGMENT. . Since all you people have a direct say a3 to who your president shall be, what character of man do you prefer? An honest, straightforward, square-dealing gen- tleman, or one who cannot and does not give you a direct answer: to a direct question, who evades the plainest propositions by stratagems and de- celts? _ Would you prefer to hand over the care Pot your interests to a man you know’ you can trust and who has always. proved up four square in évery transaction df life in a long arid honorable career; or would you deem it wisdom to entrust. your .af- fairs to the mar. you cannot trust, ‘one yon must or tells you only half traths > The responsibility of making selection of a man to. conduct your public busimess affairs for the ensuing four years will be presented to you on No- vember 2nd. If you don’t choose wisely it is your own fault. The character of the two candidates for the presi- dency has: been placed before you. You have heard all about Mr. Harding and Mr. Cox. You have read what each has to say upon the matters that concern yourself and your country. You have doubtless noted the manner in which they ‘say it. You are as able to judge as anyone else what is straightforwardness and what is evasion. Simply apply your own intelligance and judg- ment to your action at the polls on November 2nd. There is nothing more to it. . With the Democrats it was the League of Na- tions in the Maine campaign, until the vote was counted. Then it was state issues. , ‘ WHAT THE COLONEL THINKS. Speaking of James M:> Cox as a presidential candidate Col. William J. Bryan, one of the great leaders of the Democratic party, says: “After disgracing the state Cox aspires to a position where he could disgrace the nation. His election, if such a thing were possible, would turn the White House over té those who defy the: gov- ernment and hold law in contempt.” The swivel chair admirals of the navy do not appear to enjoy any great degree of Popa s in such maritime provinces as Maine.
