Pictur- ing his republiean opponent as “wiggling and wabbling.” The democratic candi- date emphasized, to sixteen audiences, that he was for the league with “Whole heart and soul.” Centering his assault upon Senator Harding’s league statement today, Gov- ernor Cox declared it “vacillating,” the eleventh position assumed by the senator and at the heels of a “témpest” aroused Senator Harding, . Governor Cox to an audience of several thousand persons here tonight on th& bourt house plaza, closing his strenuous® day of league preachment, said: ' The vacillating ‘attitude of Senator Harding Jjustifies neither the American people, nor the nations of the world, in taking him seriously. It is apparent that he hasn't a single deep-seated con- viction upon the subjéct and that he wobbles about from one day to the other in the aimless hope that this group or that group of voters' can be pleased. It is the most pitiable spectacle in the po- litical history of America. .1 can under- stand why the sentiment of wiggling and abbling has been emblazoned over the billboards of America with the picture of the senator. The candidate of the sena- torial oligarchy has a monopoly on that process and he ought to be privileged to advertise it Although the governor confined his long string of speeches today principally 1o the league he repeated charges of a “conspi of silence by the reactionary press” against the democratic campajgn, “big business” also was flaved as a fbo. Religious tone to the governor's league plea increased and, presenting what' he termed ‘practiéal” business reasons he declared that “if we dom't go into the league T look for constantly increasing trend toward a business recession.”” The leagne is necessary. he argued. to restore foreign credit and purchasing powers. He expressed belief that America would be in the league within a fow months and that no. large natlon would be out- side within a year or possibly six months. In his fire upon Senator Harding's league statements, Governor Cox charget that his own had been and would con- tinua unchanged. < Most of Governor Cox's addresses to- day were from the rear platform and all of his audiences cheered and applauded.
