Evening Post ) WASHINGTON Aug 7. In the ab fence of other Issues the Democrats nnd Republican are jawing at each other a good deal aboul campaign con trlbutlons nnd oliier npocta of money. Thouchtful persons must wish ttial the Candidates would discover something more vital o talk about The. truth. I- no vital Issue-, have developed nnd runner of the candidates ha? devel Tped ft vital personality. 1 suspect that neither of then le go jnff to develop ;i;i p t sonul It mat the American public will regard as vital. Neither of them has it in tiim to fy the present American appetite .r personality Wo have crown accus tomed to Btrong personalities in ' h Ik country For twenty years there h.. e teen three men with the capacitv to unmet votes from one party to the -ether All of "hese three, Roosevelt pud Wilson and Bryan, are politically out of things f No one coma deny the personal it v of these men. You niiKlit 01 might not l.ke the kind ol personality, but the, quantity of it ou h.id to concede. The pp:ng oi these men la the passing , ;of an er. Wc are back into the last century 1 -la Harding we are bock to McKlnloy Parfield and Rutherford B. Hayes Foi 'ox we have precedent among the presidents. Cox is a smart fellow, bent on success, financial political tud otherwise. MUST WAIT A LITTLE. However, fot adequate judgment cn pern ing the personalities of the wo candidates wo must wail until there li more time fo. reflection For the present the public need only be warn ,cd to wait until the lime for more' mature consideration has come. Don't v. allow the syrupy stuff that 16 be- ; Jus poured out Just now. The present phase of the campaign was ea pre ised .t I ieri ei .,( nr.-.cv be other inv by hi icv: York World n was a curiously dispassionate Ut lerance to come from the World, which, when it is partisan Is violent' -iv partisan, and rhlch, on the nine pul of ten occasions when it is Demo- Icrallc, Is comn.only accepted as the Reading Democratic "rn of the coun txj "Thus far," said the World, "there has been little populai interests in Ihe --presidential campagin A great deal of noise has been inudn by professional politicians, but He great mass of the American peopit are neither tall I) .about politics lor thinking about poll ties For the tine U Ing thej are in ll different to both ciiiidhlati s Senator Harding's s-peecn .,. aocep'ano .,, ied nobody except the reactionaries and the bitter er.d opponents of the P league of natlohs, and to the American I people as a whoie Governor Cox is sun I -an unknown quantit They have not yet had the opportunity to take his measure Whether or not there to j be a real and vital interest in the cam- I palgn will depend ,n Governor Cos ' lie can quicken i into life cr he i in j turn it into a colorless contest he -iwcen two Uihc politicians engaged in I trlng to sneak into the White House I through a cellar window" j MUST STUDY COX.

The Dem ocratic leaders talk about this condl j lion as if it were a thing to be proud 1 of They regard an empty treasury as a virtue. But the face le. the Demo- H crcts aren't any more virtuous than j rhe Republicans, They are merely leas buoinesshWe Tie Republicans have money because the Republican man- I agement has handled things with busl- i nesslike qualities, and business. ike f qualities include forehandedness 1 The fact is that in the four years i since 1916 the Democratic nation 'j committee has received and spent J more money then the Republican na 1 Bona committee Starting with an 1 empty treoeury at the close of the H 1016 campaign the Democrats have I t&kcn In since that date a little over $2,000,000, and the Republicans have.

But the Democrats have managed things J In s much Utfa businesslike way. 1 In the first place, the Democrat J started the 1916 campaign with a con- 'RINGSIDE ACCOUNT OF EVENTS AT DAYTON AS NOMINEE IS NOTIFIED FAIRGROUNDS.

DEM N K ts CHI I R Bearing flags and dedked In ban neri, thousands of cheering Democrats escorted him to the fairgrounds A warm sun bathed the fairgrounds crowd, d. spelling the danger of early i morning rains, but brought a soggy w ie of humidity which marie a shirt isleeve crowd of marchers and specta tors Most of the visitors came from Ohlq but thousands others came from I other states It was nearly 2:.t0 before the head nf the part.v reached the grounds Encs. steps and mils of the amplthea tre were crowded long before the par ol' arrived and the sun swelled the, receipts of the soft drink venders al though the heat was relieved some what by a breeze which kept flag and banners fluttering, MU- COX THERE UDrs, Cox and Mrs. Roosevelt, the! governor's daughter, Mrs. D. J. Ma honey with relatives and other friends of the candidate occupied a large box directly across the pi ess section from the speaker's stand Other boxes held Democratic notables Gore. To' one side of the spc ker'o stand was sealed the notification committee and to the rear the Democratic national committee. Moving pictures and other cameras were perched at numerous vantage points I There were thousands of "rail bird"; spectators lining the race track fence and around ihe track was a bla k 1 border of parked automobiles A mighty roar went up as the para'le began Its march down the race track1 to the strains of "Ohio" played by the Cox bund," of San Francisco WAN ES HIS II AT The governor stepped up to tho speaker's stand and waved his hat otj the ampltheaire.

Ii the Republicans are In better shape i bun this and they are it is' merely because they are more busim-s. like and forehanded. The Republican national committee under the man agement of win Hayes is conducted with keen devotion to business princi pies, The Republicans don't allow de fie-Its to accumulate. They either have the monev. or know where it Is com Ing Irom. before they spend it In another icspcct the Republicans have beep more efficient than the Dem ' ocraLs The Democrats have just changed their national chairman. A chairman comes along without any ex P Mem- in managing the organization. 1 H mu&t get together the fUDdd nccea ?ary to run the campaign, and must do 1 quickly, because the election Is le6s than ihiee uonths off He hardly i do Itj It Is a physical impossi bility to get an i ffectlve machine un-1 dez way In proper time The Repub licans, however, were more forehand led. More than six months ago the Re publican had an informal agreement among themselves to ihe effect that no matter who the candidate should be. Will Hayes -hould be the national chairman. The result was that Will Hayes was ablo to look forward and plan He was aLlP to lay out a skele ton organization and within a week after the Repub'ican convention he, was able to ha7e an efficient machine1 working In perfect order. Doubtless a good deal will be raidj about money as the campaign goea on. Mr. McAdoo declares that there: must be pitiless publicity for all con ! trlbutions. That is 60und enough, but,1 broadly speaking, an experienced re porter Is not able to get as excited about this matter of mency contribu nons as the politicians try to makcl of ihe national committee and Gilbert Ccx, 8", father of the presidential ICS ndldate. The Cox boosters at the front of the line received an especlallj heart', reception. The Guffy club of Pittsburg ::rn d White umhrclla". Most of the delegations had their own bands and between them and the Cox band which was stationed by the speakers stand there was an almost : continuous flow of melody BAN N I Its ( 1RR1ED Innumerable legends were on ban J tiers carried by the marchers. A Mil waukee contingent said I "A vote that will make Mllwaul.ee tamous Cox 1)9 1-2 per cent., Hard ing 1 - 2 of 1 per cent.'' Aboul a hundred miners from 'he !

The first woman's delegation in line, a Cincinnati division received extra waves from the pasb hoard fan "f the governor and Mr. Roosevelt A salvo of applause was given the marchers from Marlon, SenAtor Hard ing's home Thev- were led by 150 wom-n and sarrled a banner dei iiring "We're here Jimmy all from nar jlon.' Another said "No, Cox never played a horn and he won't plav sec ond fiddle to any senate bunch."

When he declared that the peace ' treat must br ratified, ' more, ap plausi ..line Other cheers followed his opposition to "a reactionary" presl denl The crowd la.iirhed and cheered when he predicted Governor Cox would carry the fight to the Republl ii and not have a front porch cam paign Governor Cox was given an oration nt 4:40 The governors first cheer was given his declaration that he took up the pemocratlc standard 'a free man.' Laughter and applause greet ed his statement that this was ' no time for wobbling," but for straight talking and acting. Governor Cox's praise of the clarity of the Democra platform brought another cheer and his flagellation of Republican senators for their treaty course received frequent expressions of approval. It was 6:20 o clock when the gover nor concluded his address. Ho was1 given another ovation. Severa- thoue and spectators remained to the end the public believe they are Broadly speaking, both parties and all poli ticians get as mu"h money together as thev can. If the Republicans get moro It is only becaube they go about tho collection of it In a more businesslike waj The facts will show that the Democrats have received and have spent more money in the past four years than tho Republicans have In ! Cldentall) It is a curious fact that Mr ( o. is Hit; first millionaire who ever! received the crcsldentlal nomination l i no either part' If the Information which the news paper men receive from Governor Cox's neighbors and associates is cor j rect. he could chip in a million dollars or so to the Democratic campaign fund without bein em harassed to meet next month's rent No other caudldate for president In recent years had any thing near that much money. Wilson! ntercd the presidency without any money whatever W hen Taft left the presidencv he was rather relieved to I get the assured salary of a p.-ofessor-1 ehip at Yale Roosevelt died worth! something over half a million dollars, but more than half of that came to l bun after he had left the presidency McKlnlev was practically a penniless, man Bryan was ponniieas when he ! began to run for the presidency, and j Bryan has not as much money now ai people commor.ly think he has.
