On he other hand by the very action of the candidate himself there is reason to be- lieve that he recognized that he was not making the hit that he expected. When he undertook to shower Sena- tor Johmson with fulsome praige it was svident that he was trying to win over those who were once bull moesers. Im- mediately Senator Johnsom took the platform he didn't undertake to hand back the bouquets but launched out against the league of nations on which Governor Cox is in full accord with President Wilson. But the more surprising action on the part of the democratic candidate was the charge he made against the Califor- nia preds. It is difficult to believe that he has been treated as he claims. Such certainly has not been the attitude of the newspapers in other parts of the country. He has been accorded plenty of opportunity to present his views by republican as well as democratic pa- pers even though he has made chayges were not supported. If his com- nt is that papers are not daily re- ng the charges that he is repeat- ing each time he must realize that there Y5 no one to blame but himself. The pa- pers regardless of their political lean- ings are anxious to furnisk the news and as a contributor to the news of the day Governor Cox isn’t going to be ig- nored because he %3 a2 democrat, any more than his own newspapers are going From the investigation which has been started by the grand jury in Chi- cago to sift ouf the charges that there is crookedness in connection Wwith big league contests there will be an opportu- nity for the fans of the country to fol- low with much interest such proof as is presented and such denials as can be expected to be made, Although the investigation concerns acts of a year ago, when it is claimed players in the worid's ®eries accepted money and played to lose games, it is well that the faets in.the case should be fully aired and the guilt or the innocence of the players established. It is of the utmost importance for the national game, which is supposed to be on the level and which the majority so believe. If there are those Who are engaged in such an underhanded practice the quick- er it can be proved the better for there 18 nothing that would call for more dras- tic action for the bemefit of the sport in the future than that very thing. For this one or that one to make al- legations or te bring charges does not cettle the matter.
