me upon the traveling men as an

is this:
! While I was officially occupied in

not only retraction of the statement,
but a public apology from the editor.
So regretful was he of the incident
he resigned his position and went to

"The traveling men of Ohio who
have brought this matter to my atten
tion so resent the propaganda that
they haev sought a meeting with me
here and hundreds of them are In
this audience tonight to express their
condemnation of the deceitful -tactic
which would befoul their organization
and their calling."
Ceivernor Cox reiterated that the Re
publicans had sought to conduct a
campaign of "confusion and decep
tlon,' by Injection of what he- termed
OS extraneous" Issues.
It was evident that when we dis
covered their creation of a huge cor-i
ruption fund." said the candidate,
that ordinary lines i.f campaign were'
to be discarded, for every one fully 1
recognized that It would be Impossible'
to spend a fund of 116000,000 in le
gitimate ways. But as the days have
passed we have found why the reac
tionary forces felt the need of so
much money. It Is not an eas mat
teyr to dlvido the friends of a great
principle, and yet, in order to win a
presidential election, I hat is the v ery
thing they shoughl to do. Under the
direction of the would-be Napoleon of
politics, whose only knowledge of pro
cedure is to array class against class
bv the expenditure of money, the mem
bers of the senatorial oligarchy ree
Ognlzihg that the people of America
w re for peace through the league of
nations, and that they were progres
sive, sought to divide the forces by the
Injection of issues that not only were
extraneous, but utterly without place
in a presidential campaign."
The traveling salesmen's propagan
da," was cited ,by th governor as an
example of the opposition tactics and
i,.. declared thai 'there has not been

mon lal to whli h appeal Jias not been

it was apparent Europe could not be

globe was desirable because the de
mand there was- for manufactured
goods which America could most easi

The senator praised the law as one
