COX TO PLACE
COUNTRY UNDER
BUDGET SYSTEM
Says Feder&l Government Can
Not Be Conducted in
Haphazard Way.
POLICY IS OUTLINED
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—Reorganisation
of the existing departments of the Gov
ernment under a specific budget plan will
be effected by Governor Cox. in the event
of his election to the presidency.
This assurance Is given by him in a
letter to Edgar B. Davis, a New York
student of business organization, in re
ply to a questionnaire sent to him by
Mr. Davis, containing certain specific
questions as to what course the Governor
would pursue, If he is elected, with re
spect to all matters,
x -The Federal Government,” Governor
Cox's letter says, ‘‘is the greatest busi
ness in the country and cannot be per
mitted to continue in haphazard fashion.”
Mr. Davis sent a similar questionnaire
to Senator Harding, but there has been
no reply to i^.
Governor Cox’s letter, taking up the
questions in order, la as foUows:
My Deer Mr. Davis—Although few
speeches have been made by me which
do not "contaia direct answer to all of
your questions, I am assuming that you
want the replies in order as the questions
are presented.
1. No one imagines that it will be
possible for either Republicans or Dem
ocrats to secure two-thirds majority of
the Senate, necessary to wield the treaty
making power vested in the Senate utfder
the Constitution of the United States.
At the same time it is to be remem
bered that a victory for the League of
Nations Is not be considered a partisan
victory in any senae, and no senator
elected at this time will fall to rec
ognize the mandate of his country.
The entire difficulty with the situa
tion for the past eighteen months has
been that a partisan conspiracy was
formed to make political a question that
never should have been in politics.
2. There should be scarce consideration
for the entrance of America into any
new association of nations.
In the first place the League of Na
tions is a going concern with- forty
three members, who have obligated them
selves to undertake no new undertakings
or associations with other nations in
consistent with the provisions of the
League of Nations.
A separate peace with Germany would
have to be undertaken as a part of a
program of isolation.
In my opinion there will be, under
anv circumstances, a sufficient number
of'Senators, both Republican and Demo
crats, who are opposed to such a plan
to prevent its adoption.
3. In my every adress T have
stated not only that it was little les*
than a crime that tDe T-eague *f Na
tions should have been made a political I
issue, bait also that if I am elected ;
the treaty will be ratified.
I propose to call into conference the
members of the Senate; to accept sug
gestions from them, from Mr. Wilson. I
from Mr. Taft, from Mr. Root from any
one who comes forward with sincere pur
pose to clarify any questions that are
In doubt to reassure our own people and
to make certain to our associates the

TO BE HUSHED

gated and found there was not sufficient
evidence tO \hold the man.
"8o far as me being ln any way con
nected with the matter, I know noth
ing more about It than you do.”
Regardless of the very apparent de
sire on the part of administration mem
bers to forget the release of Roy Llngen
felter, the public refuses to be satisfied
with the statement of the grand jury
that there was not enough evidence pro
duced before it to justify an indictment.
Letters condemning the lack of action
6n the part of the county authorities
continue to come to The Times.
Discussion of the case is general ln
the Srato.
WHAT DISCUSSION
HAS BROUGHT OUT.
Out t of the stories told by persons
familiar with the episode, it has been
established :
1. That Roy Lingenfeltcr assaulted
a little girl several years ago and
was convicted on the charge of as
sault and battery, the Intent charge
having been dropped.
2. His sentence was suspended while
Joseph T. Markey was Judge oi
Criminal Court.
3. He was caught with little girts
by citizens, who held him until he
was turned over to the police.
4. He stated to police and reporters
that he had attacked more little girls
than he could remember.
5. He repeated this statement before
a roll call of policemen at the police
station.
6. Joseph T. Markey sought to hare
the parents of girls Lingenfelter had
enticed, or attacked, agree to permit
him to enter the Navy without prose
cution.
7. Judge Walter Pritchard of City
Court refused to listen to such an
arrangement and bound Lingenfelter
over to the grand Jury.
8. The grand jury considered hie
case and, without calling a number
of known witnesses against him, rec
ommended bis release.
9. A storm of criticism was fol
lowed by a second investigation by
the grand Jury, personally conducted
by Prosecutor Claris Adams, which
resulted in a second recommendation
for the release of Lingenfelter and a
statement from the grand Jurors that
“the evidence adduced did not sup
port the facts.”
10. Lingenfelter, within three day*
of the time he was released from Jail,
applied for re-enlistment ln the Navy,
Incorporating hi hla application the
statement that he has ‘never been
arrested.”
Some powerful influences Interfered
with the bringing to trial of Roy
Lingenfelter. whose own statements,
corroborated by the circumstances of
his arrest were sufficient to have
Justified an indictment and trial of
him on a charge of assault and bzt
terjr with Intent to commit a felony.
Frank C. Lingenfelter, city en
gineer. denies absolutely that he took
any part ln the arrangements by
which Roy Lingenfelter was freed of

the necessity of facing a trial in
Marlon County.
He also states that he does not
regard the report that Roy Lingen
felter is his cousin, and that he re
fused to be a bondsman for Roy
Lingepfelter as “any affair” of the
public.
In the meanwhile no one has yet
come forth with -an explanation of
why -'Hoy Lingenfelter received such
privileged treatment at the hands of
the “good government” administra
tion.
