THOUSANDS GIVE GOVERNOR COX GREAT OVATION (Continued From Pf* One.) were adopted and then it was given to Charles Evans Hughes, four years ago the candidate of the Republican party for the presidency, for scrutiny and sug gestion. Mr. Hughes made seven suggestions, five of which were written In. "I see that Judge Hughes. In the speech delivered here today, says that his suggestions were not ‘literally' written Into the covenant," the candidate said. “The spirit and .the provisions and the principles of what he suggested were written, and In fact. Instead of five, you might In full propriety say that the greater part of another suggestion, which makes ,sly suggestions; they all were written Into the covenant of the leagu. “At the peace table at Versailles all of these amendments and additions were approved. “You ask why It was made a part of the Treaty of Peace? “For the very simple reason that the one compensation of this great war Is peace, peace for your generation and peace for all future generations.” INDORSED BY EVERY RELIGIOUS SECT. After the covenant was brought back to America by the President, it was in dorsed by practically every important religious sect In the country, he said, citing a list of favorable resolutions by Catholic and Protestant, Jew and Gentile bodies. “What Is the point of this religious en dorsement? “It is this: That when we were spirit ual we were all agreed, and we did not differ until we became political. “More than that, when God talked to ns we were for It. “When Lodge talked to some Amer icans they were against it." There was prolonged cheering when the speaker declared that to his mind the most important indorsement of all was that of the Gold Star Mothers, whose 81,000 boys lie In France. He analyzed the opposition which de veloped from the senatorial oligarchy, showing how the President had earnestly endeavored to get Into the treaty and the covenant all the practical sugges tions made by Congress upon his re turn from his first trip to France. These suggestions wers worked Into the document, he said, and yet “before the President had a chance to set foot on the soil of France, while he was yet In mid-ocean, the basest conspiracy in all the history of mankind was under way In the United States Senate.” One by one Governor Cox enlled th* names of the leaders of the thirty-eight Senators who signet! the Infamous round robin denouncing the league, and one by one the crowd hissed and hooted them. For each of these men Governor Cox predicted a return to private life on March 4. “I said to you that this question of peace was almost too sacred to be a political question, bnt it Is In this cam paign because of that conspiracy. “It Is necessary to come to the people In order that under the Institutions of a free Government the people might undo a great wrong which was perpetrated In the Senate of the United States, and I believe you will admit with me the Im propriety of even suggesting that cne of the conspirators himself should be nssigned to the task of conducting the process of correcting that great wrong when he was a party to the perpetration of the deed himself." The Governor took up the form of the league, article by article, and clearly ex plained its Intent and defended It agalns: objections which have been raised. Article 10. he said. Is based upon the Commandment, “Thou sbalt not steal,” and Is nothing more “horrible" than the prohibition of territorial grand larceny. He showed how the league was de signed to prevent the four causes of war—theft of territory of weaker nations by stronger, great national armaments secret diplomacy and the practice of monarehs declaring war without con sulting their pcop'es. TAKES IT OBJECTIONS TO T!IE COVENANT. Taking np the objections to the cove nant,'Governor Cox asked: "I suppose they hare told you In Indi ana that If we go into the league, we will have to send onr boys overseas,every time there is a row In a European back alley Have you heard that In Indiana?” For Itching Eczema, Old Sores and Piles “T guarantee my ointment." says Pe terson of Buffalo, “to cure eczema; to stop the itching at once nnd any re liable druggist will cheerfully refund your money if PETERSON’S OINT MENT doesn't do everything I say It will do.” William A. Carley of Franklin, N. is surelv a wise man. He writes: “I used PETERSON’S OINTMENT on a little boy suffering terribly with ec zema. It did the work." Then there is Alex. Lout tel, a brave fireman of Buffalo, who is glad to writ# as follows: “I had an old sore on my leg for many years. The best doctors [ailed PETERSON’S OINTMENT en tirely healed the sore quickly." And from aver in Canada cornea a letter from A. Hlockeby, stating: “The best thing 1 ever hit for itching plies is PETER SON’S OINTMENT.” A big box for 35 rents.

Lawrence & Cos, Chicago.—Adver- Isimsat Cries of “Yee” came from the aud ience. “Is the superintendent of schools here, or a professor In any of your universi ties?" Somebody in the audience shouted: “They are all Republicans.” “Don’t fool yourselves, gentlemen,” Governor Cox said, “they are Americans and most of them are for the covenant of the league all over America. “The chances are that every professor in your State university is out tonight making a speech for the league." The candidate said he wished to ask tho school men a question about the Constitution nnd then proceeded to show it Is impossible to make a treaty which runs counter to It and hence Congress still would retain the sole right to de war or send American troops over seas. i, i MORE POWER THAN POLICE CHIEF. "The President, while commander-In ehlef of the Army and Navy, hasn’t any more power to declare war than the chief of police In the city of Indianapo lis,” he added. He demonstrated that unanimous con sent is required for league action on important controversies and disposed of the “six to one votes" objection. “Six to one,-have you heard that?" he asked.

Tim Watson put that out.” "What is tt that Jim tells you? That England has six votes?” the candidate continued. “Yes,’’ the crowd roared, and someone added: “But who will believe it?” Mr. Cox continued: "There is only one thing wrong with that statement, otherwise it is all right. “The one thing that is wrong is that there Isn't a word of truth in it.” He then showed that England has only one vote and that If the Hitchcock reservations had been adopted by the Senate that England could not even have had the support of her five colonies In any controversy concerning her. SHATTERS ANOTHER ANTI ARGUMENT. “It will Interfere with tho aspirations of the Irish people; have you heard that?” tho candidate said, passing on to the next objection. “What are the facts?" He was interrupted by a cry from the audience: “The Irish don’t believe them." “It is pretty hard to fool the Irißh people,” the candidate replied, and then put himself on record again as being In favor of the principle of self determi nation for Ireland because the peace of {he whole world is bound up with INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1920. the Irish question. Turning from the objections to the league, Governor Cox gave attention to the position of the Republican party and its candidate on it, showing the long series of twists and turns and about-faces the opponents have executed. “It Is not often that I am compelled to apologize to an audience," he said, “but I am driven to that necessity this evening. “I can’t tell you where Senator Hard ing stands tonight because I have had n very busy day and I haven’t yet read the evening paper.” "Let us take up the practical view point that we must give to Senator Harding’s suggestion. We must have no consideration whatsoever of the wel fare of the other nations elesewhere In the world. What does that mean? Physical Isolation, commercial Isolation. That means that we will build a com mercial world of our own. "Men and women, we cannot grow ns a nation unless we grow commercially. Wo cannot grow unless we sell our sur plus from farm and factory. There Is evidence of a business decline now. You see It In shop, mill, mine and on the farm. Why la it? "Because the demand for our surplus has stink every day until it has almost gone to nothing—why? Because the na tions of Europe cannot buy—why? Be Made over the FAMOUS BOSTONIAN LASTS that are unequaled for style and fitting quality. Such as: The Hampton The Sefton The Yorke The Nassau The Argyle The Kenmoore The De Lancy The Herald cause the nations of Europe haven’t uny credit—why? Because the agencies that established international credit won’t give them credit —why ? Because they don’t know whether they can puy theli national debt —why? Because there Is no guarantee that they are going to stop maintaining great, armies and great navies. "Why can’t Europe stop? Because America Isn’t doing it. America can’t do it and will not do it until the rest of the world does it. All the nations of the world must do it together and they can do it by all of them becoming mem bers of the League of Nations of the World." He spoke for the league from the spir itual viewpoint and closed his address with the statement that he stands for the league; that he will sit down with the Senate, when elected, and that when he sits down he wishes at least one vote from Indiana for the leagie, the vote of Thomas Taggart. Miss Julia Landers, Democratic can lldate for presidential elector-at-large; Henry Spaan. Democratic candidate for Representative of the Seventh congres sional district, and Mr. Taggart spoke before Mr. Cox arrived. Mr. Taggart said In Introducing Acqullla Jones, permanent chairman of the meeting: “I have visited all corners of the State and, friends, I wish to say to you that I have never seen the Democratic party so thoroughly united, nor the Progres sives and Independent Republicans so thoroughly agreed with them as they now are In support of the League of Nations and In opposition to the Good rich tax law. “In my campaign for the senatorship I have sought only to appeal for sup port from a business standpoint, for what I believe to be for the best welfare of the people of this State. “I have said nothing unkind about my opponent, and regardless of the untruths which have been uttered against me In this campaign I want to say that so many kind things have been said of LOWEST Tire Prices In Indianapolis NAME AND SERIAL NUMBERS INTACT for a very limited time, first quality Tires, not seconds.
