C. S. Bird Says Cox
Does Not Deserve
Progressive Vote
LeadingBos ton Independent,
in Letter to Candidate,
Calls His Tributes to Theo?
dore Roosevelt Impudent
In a letter sent on Thursday to
Governor Cox by Charles Sumner Bird,
a leading independent Republican of
Boston, Mr. Bird asserts that the
Democratic candidate for President is
the last man in America to deserve
the sympathy or support of any one
who has been a member of the Pro?
gressive party formerly headed by
Theodore Roosevelt. His letter fol?
lows:
"In your acrobatic campaign to at?

By William Howard Taft
A Presidential campaign's a trying
test for any man, physically, mentally
and temperamentally. If ? man has
weaknesses it is likely to disclose them
to the public before the long four
months are at an end. He has to bear
much injustice in partisan attacks. He
is under guidance of managers on
whose taste or judgment he cannot
safely rely. He cannot speak his own
views on every subject, because he is
the responsible champion of a party
on a platform of principles to which
he is in a large measure limited and
bound to conform. He must avoid dec?
larations on irrelevant though interest?
ing issues which might prejudice his
strength as a candidate in any quarter.
These things must be remembered
when we are prone to criticize a candi?
dat as lacking in candor or courage.
He is not a free agent. He is a trustee
for his party. But in the end his cam?
paign conduct helps the people to judge
him.
The present campaign Is creating a
contrast between Senator Harding and
Governor Cox, which is quite helpful
to many who were in doubt. The
Democratic papers have been.full of
attacks upon Mr. Harding, because he
conformed to the Republican platform
on the league issue and made his ac?
ceptance speech as lacking in definite
detail on his plans as the league
plank uof the platform was. But in
his speech of August 28 he worked
out the platform declarations into a
more satisfactory outline of his pur?
pose. The same papers praised Mr.
Cox for his clear and straightforward
statement on the league, which mere?
ly reaffirmed Mr. Wilson's position in
favor of the league with "Article X or
no league," as the platform had done.
This contrast was held up as indica?
tive of the clear-headed courage of
Mr. Cox and the absence of this in
Mr. Harding, but injustice was done
to Mr. Harding.
Harding'? Course Vindicated
Again the proposed front porch
campaign of Mr. Harding has been the
object of ridicule by the Democratic
press. We now begin to see the wis?
dom of Mr. Harding's course. It has
enabled him to prepare careful, full
and clear addresses on the prinicpal
and .real issues of the campaign, and
then to deliver them, either to visiting
delegations or to an appreciative
audience like that he addressed at
Minneapolis.
\'o one can read these addresses
without being impressed with the con?
viction that they have been thought
out after study of the basic facts and
with a real sense of the responsibility
which, as President, he must meet.
They are not mere catchy bids for
votes. They show an appreciation of
? he whole problem he has to solve.
They are not pppeals to one group of
society in one speech, as if there were
no other groups t?, be considered.
His speech to the formers at Min?
neapolis is a good illustration of this.
His words show a real and earnest
desire to help the farmers with the
serious difficulties they have had to
face?, but he recommends no remedial
measures the effect of which on the
consumer and the carrier he does not
weigh. He is not full of panaceas and
promises that cannot be fulfilled. His
thoughts are helpful and modest, and
must have convinced his hearers that
in Mr. Harding they will have a Presi?
dent who knows their troubles," and
who, while Insisting that the farmers
themselves by voluntary cooperation
can do much, and without promising;
that government and legislation can!
do everything, will exert himself to
do all that can be done by one re?
sponsible also to consumers and car?
riers as well.
Railroad Policy Praised
His speech to the railroad wage
earners on the Esch-Cummins bill and
his explanation of the advantage to
them in the' arbitration features of that
act is admirable. It is not demagogic.
It does not seek to stir them against
their empioyers. Uttered with a sense
of responsibility to the country nt
large and to all those in interest, it is
a strong answer to Mr. Gomper3p3 un?
measured condemnation of this really
useful measure.
One might take up other addresses
of Mr. Harding of the same character,
but these two well illustrate the ad?
vantage of the opportunity the front
porch campaign gives to deal calmly.
candidU, fairly and strongly with the
electorate. The absence of appeals to
class feeling and demagogic emphasis
of impossible achievement of reforms
is noteworthy.
On the other hand, Mr. Harding is
not full of bitter attacks upon his op?
ponents. Of course, he discusses the
Wilson Administration because the ap?
proval or disapproval of that is the
real issue of the campaign, but the
dignity of his language and the ab?
sence of acrimony and of charges of
corruption must impress all with the
difference between his method of
speech and that of his opponent. Every?
thing he says aims at constructive sug?
gestion, as if he were facing the real
demands of the office he will surelv fill.
Governor Cox has taken a very dif?
ferent course. Having called to his
support idealists of constantly Demo?
cratic tendency and a few Republicans
by his declarations for the league with
Article X, in spite of its impossibility,
he then gave his whole attention to
the creation of an issue which should
screen him from the fixed and general
feeling against the Wilson Administra?
tion, focus attention on the wickedness
of the Republican management of the
campaign and enable him to reason
from that the assurance of an abhor?
rent course by Mr. Harding if Presi?
dent.
Much Cry and Little Wool
In the history of American politics
there never has been so much cry and
so little wool produced by the candi?
date of a great party as in the ch:irge
by Governor Cox in regard to Repub?
lican campaign contributions. By the
production of printed circulars issued
by a professional money collector em?
ployed by the committee and seeking
to arouse the Republican sympathizers
to adequate contributions to pay the
large legitimate expenses of a cam?
paign with thirty million voters, he
has sought to treat the exaggerate?!
fiuotas assigned in the circulars as
money in hand, and, assuming the col?
lection of them all, he has had the
unbelievable audacity to charge, with?
out the slightest evidence, that the
money is being collected from large
business interests who purpose "to
buy the Presidency" nnd make Harding
"use bayonets" to force workingmcn
to accept terms of employment the
business interests desire By constant
repetition of these gratuitous and pre
posterous charges he hopes to have
some of them stick in the minda of
laboring men and farmers, and thus to
inflame the unrest existing in many
quarters.
"He seeks to neutralize the hyphen?
ated opposition of Irishmen to the
league and to the Administration by
promising to bring the question of Ire?
land's independence before the League
of Nations and to favor it, although
any reasonable construction of the
leag-ue makes such a course utterly in
admissable and would enable the Fili?
pinos to take our dominion in the Phil?
ippines before the same tribunal. In?
deed, such a construction would enable
the negroes of South Carolina, on the
principle of self-determination, to
claim a similar hearing.
Countenance to Radicalism
"He gives countenance to I. W. W.
agitation by saying at Butte that 'wher?
ever you show me a radical movement
I will show you a government that has
teen unjust and oppressive.' "
No wonder The New York Times finds
these ebullitions of Governor Co7i,
whom it is loyally supporting, co hard
to swallow that it refers to them as
"things better left unsaid." The truth
is dawning on many that Governor Cox
doe3 not deem the issue "the league
with Article X or no league" a win?
ning issue, and that he proposes to
make this fight one of radicalism
against the existing order. His utter
recklessness of statement cannot other?
wise be explained.
The contrast between the front
perch method of campaign and that of
the itinerant agitator is one that will
become more and more painful l?j tnose
who have been led to support Governor
Cox on the merely academic issue of
the? league with Article X or no league.

HpHIS opinion is quoted for the infor

there is a difference in musical tastes

Gompers Appeals
To Labor to Back
Cox's Candidacy
Saya "Republican Platform
Interests Itself In Strikes,
While Democrats Recog?
nize Right to Organize"
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.?Baaing
his argument largely on the premise
that the Republican platform "inter?
ests itself in the question of strikes,"
Samuel Gompers, in an article entitled
" 'Normalcy' vs. Proj-rsss," in the cur?
rent issue of the American Federation
ist, the official publication of the Amer?
ican Federation of Labor, makes an
appeal for support of the Presidential
candidacy of Governor James M. Cox.
Mr. Gompers, in his article, holds lit?
tle hope that the cost of commodities
ever may be materially reduced and re?
fers to a reversion to pre-war prices in
the following language: "Obviously it
is impossible to return to something
that is past." The article, in part, says:
"The Republican party platform in?
terests itself in the question of strikes
The interest manifested, however, i?
clearly the interest of those who arc
looking back-ward and who would induce
the nation to look backward with them
There are suggestions of tribunals, gov?
ernmental investigations and the 'in
fluence" of the public opinion, th<
whole plank constituting what laboi
has described as 'a denial of labor'!
demands' and contemplating 'the erec
tion of government machinery for th<
coercion of labor and for the suppres
sion and limitation of its proper, law
ful and normal activities.' Senato
Harding places himself whollv in th?
spirit of such platform declaration:
when he says 'Let us return to nor
malcy.'
Immigration Important Problem
"As the months pass, the problem o
immigration is bound to become on>
of increasing importance. Report
from Europe are to the effect that mill
ions from northern, southern and cen
tral Europe are only waiting the ship
to bring them before coming to ou
land. No part of our public life cai
escape the effects of unrestricted im
migration. The question is one o
paramount importance. The platforr
upon which Mr. Harding is a candidat
and upon which ho would have us re
turn to 'normalcy' makes no mention o
the subject.
"Since the overthrow of the Dicta
tor Diaz the question of American re
lations with the Republic of Mexic
has been one of intermittent acutencs
and of constant importance, Th
American trade-union movement ha
held from the outset that the people o
M"\ico have the right to work ou
their own problems without interfei
enea on the part of the United States
or any other nation. The policy of
President Wilson has coincided ad?
mirably with that thought. In the lan
guage of labor's analysis, the Mexican
plank in the Republican platform
'clearly aims to undermine the sover?
eignty of the Mexican people and to
make the maintenance of order in
Mexico the business of the government
of the United States.'
Indorses Democrats' Stand
"To the orsranized workers of the
country the Democratic party platform
offers free and full recognition of the
right of organization, the right of col?
lective bargaining and the right to
speak through representatives freely
chosen. The Democratic party plat?
form also takes its stand against 'un?
warranted issuance of writs of injunc?
tions,' likewise, "guaranteeing the right
of trial by jury in alleged contempt
cases committed outside the presence
of court.'
"On the great issue of the high cost
