Governor Says Millions and

for Campaign
WHEELING, W. Vs.. Aug. 14.
Governor Cox lodav opened fire on
hl.4 Republican opposition charging
Its leadership with "attempted trick
ery" of tho American people In op
posing the league of nations and with
conducting a campaign "behind a
smoke s reen" to secure partisan
spoils.
That "a powerful combination of In
terests Is now attempting to buy gov -i
rninent control," he also asserted,
charging that millions and millions
were being raised in campaign con
tributions." The governor loosed his attack in;
an address at the West Virginia Oem
ocratlo convention. U was his first
vigorous assault on the ftepubllcansj
and was to be followed tonight by an
other address to the geneial public. 1
Although advocacy of the league of
nations, which the governor declared
v:i the greatest movement of right
eousness In the history of the world"
was the main theme of his address,
he also attacked again the Republl

service in " SCO,' and promise defi
nitely a saving of $2,000,000,000 an

"A grave responsibility rests with
the l mocratlc party," said Governor
Cox. "It must render good faith in
behalf of the nation, of the soldiers
of the war and to our allies who
helped to achieve victory. It Is not
a j. iif - in affair. The campaign thio
vear Is not a contest for the triumph
of a political party. It Is purelv a
matter of concluding a duty to civi
lization, and doing It as quickly as
prudent consideration of our coun
try's Interests suggests
"Leadership in great moral ques
tion hoi been given to the Democracy,
for the simple reason that the sena
torial ollgarc by, whic h for the time
being has assumed control of the Re
publican party, has abandoned the
idealism of other days.

"We shall not alone make appeal
to the electorate by contrasting the
rules of economic thought that have
prevailed in the past, but wo shall
call attention to the delinquent atti
tude In which this country haj been
placed by senatorial intrigue and to
the very definite program of action
wo pledge It is unnecessary to re
call t.'ie issues of the ar. They were
well marked in the public mind. We
frere wining to sacrifice in behalf of
the m t generation because 'reced

After all that is the vital thing In
civilization. We resisted a world
wide menace and we Intend now to
establish permanent protection
against another menace We know
how easily wars came in the p est ' e

in the future. We have a definite
plan. The American people u .d- i
stand it and after March 4lh. 1921.
It is our purpose to put it Into prac
tical operation. without continuing
months of useless discussion
ri I IMPTED THICKER 1
The platform of our party gives
us the opportunity to render moral
co-operation In the greatest movement
of righteousness In the history of the
world, and at the same time to hold
our own interestj free from peril. Our
position Is plain. The circumstance
in the last eighteen months convict
the Republican leadership with at
tempted trickery of the American
people. I'nder one pretext after an
other they prevented the readjust
ment' of national conditions. They
proposed certain reservations to the
league of nations and then they were
abandoned, to bo followed by nothing
more definite than the annoum ement
of a 'hope' that an entirely new ar
rangement might be made in world
affairs What method they have In
mind. If It a concretely In any one s
mind, the people do not know. No
unprejudiced person can deny that the
consequenco of abandoning the league
and attempting an entirely new pro
ject will be long delay.
