THAT COXONIAN YAWP ABOUT
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Governor Cox is pulling the old
familiar, Democratic campaign stuff
about the huge campaign corruption
fund that is being raised by the
plutocrats “to buy the government”
for the Republican party. He says
the amount of this fund is fifteen
million dollars. A few days before
his running mate, Franklin D. Roose
velt, said it was thirty million dol
lars. Perhaps as the figure is drop
ping off fifty per cent every ten days,
it may go lower still before the
election. In Governor Cox’s speech
es, however, it is likely to get. big
ger. His talk on this subject is a
part of the old paraphernalia poli
ticians of his type think is essential
to a “militant” candidacy for office.
When the size of a partys’ cam
fund is considered, it would seem
important to give some considera
tion to the interests and influences
that would be likely to give up money.
What interests with something fi
nancial at stake are likely to figure
in this campaign?
What about the cost-plus contrac
tors, who unnecessarily spent hun
dreds of millions of the people’s
money in order that their profits
might be greater under an arrange
ment which put a premium on inef
ficiency and wastfulness? Are they
going to contribute to the Republi
can campaign fund, or will they, in
expression of their appreciation for
favors received, throw their bit into
the Democratic hat when it goes
round?
What about the profiteers? Hasn’t
the going been good for them under
the present national administration?
Have they anything to complain
about, and have they not much to
be thankful for? Why should they
want a change from^_the conditions
created under an administration which
got into power declaiming against
wealth and the high cost of living?
What about the ten thousand new
millionaires created since the “new
freedom” was turned on, more than
doubling the number of men of that
wealth in the country? Have they
any reason for a special grouch
against the political party which got
into power in il912 promising to
paralyze the plutocrats? Don’t they
know that its outcry against “plu
tocracy” is just as insincere as it
was four and eight years ago?
What about the speculators in the
necessities of life, and the manipu
lators of finance who have profited
by the conditions of the past few
years? Hasn’t the federal reserve
system,, been used to encourage and
foster their activities and enable
them to make unprecedented profits
at a time when the people of the
country generally were being asked
to save and Sacrifice for the winning
of the war? Where will their cam
paign contributions go—to the party
^vhich had given them so good a
chance to exploit the public or to the
party of opposition?
What about the munition makers
and the manufacturers of war mater
ials? Four years ago the Democratic
party got into power declaring that
ad these people were working for
Republican success, but since that
time more money has been spent for
munitions and war materials at
good prices than was . ever even
dreamed of before in the history of
this country. Are those who have
profited by this so “sore” at the
party which promised to keep us
out of war that they are going to
help the Republicans put it out of
power?
What about the international fi
nanciers, the men who have made
hundreds of millions in international
finance -since President Wilson’s sec
ond administration, and who are to
day hoping that the blood and the
treasure of this country will be
pledged in the Wilsonian League of
Nations to guarantee the continuance
and expansion of their gigantic prof
its? Are they going to contribute to
the Republican or to the Democratic J
campaign fund? The chief organs of J
these interests in New York City, in
cluding an evening paper directly
owned by them, are whooping it up
for Cox and laughing up their sleeve
at his antiplutocracy smoke screen.
What about the particular special
interest, hoping to profit enormously
by changes in the laws of the land,
which three times made Mr. Cox gov
ernor of Ohio and whose chief- Ohio
attorney managed Governor Cox’s can- i
didacy for the Democratic presiden
tial nomination? It is going to con
tribute to the Republican or to the
Democratic campaign fund?
There are, of course, many thou
sands of patriotic American business
nen who will contribute to the Re
publican campaign fund. They will do
so because they love their country,
mci believe mat tne weitare or eacn
is wrapped up in the welfare of all,
not because they have had or are
sxpecting special favors from the gov
srnment. The attempt of Governor
3ox to place a sinister interpretation
rpon their support of the Republican
party may be characteristic of the
man; but if so, it does not reveal
iiirn as one big enough for the pres
idency of the United States. This ef
fort to terrorize and threaten and
bullyrag those who support the oppos
ition party with illy concealed sugges
tions that the government will be
used to hound them should the Repub
lican party be successful, is too sug
gestive of the Russianizing process to
which this country has been pretty
well subjected under the present na
tional administration. It is especial
ly offensive when used as a smoke
screen to cover the activities of the
Democratic campaign fund collectors
who are now engaged in “cashing in”
on, the elements and interests which
have fattened through administration
favor during the past few years.
Speaking of campaign expenditures,
what about the hundreds of millions
of the people’s money used by the
party in power during the war, under
the management of such partisan
press agents as George Creel, to
spread administration propaganda?
What about the several hundred thou
sand new federal job holders who
are being utilized to promote the
Democratic cause at this moment, at
public expense? What about the Ohio
machine, the Cox machine of office
holding partisans who busied them
sevles for months promoting the Cox
candidacy for the nomination and are
now just as busy at the people’s ex
pense trying to carry the state for
him at the approaching election?
There is an old saying to the ef
fect that men in glass houses should
not throw stones. This adage seems
to apply with special force to Gov
ernor Cox. He is indulging in coarse
abuse, cheap epithets and personal as
saults that would come with better
grace from some one less vulnerable
than himself. This he is likely to
discover in due time if he does not
soon abandone billingsgate and epi
thets and vicious personal attacks for
methods more in keeping with a can
didacy for the office of president of
the United States. Even his theory
that the presidency of the United
States can be bought for fifteen mil
lion dollars or any other sum is not
popularizing him with the millions of
American voters thus gratuitously in
sulted.
It’s hard to get xiyer a reputation
for being “easy.”

Back-to-School
Days
In a few days, the school bell, after many
weeks of silence, will be tolling forth the
summons, Back to school.” To mother,
it will mean the beginning of more work and
less help around the house.
Clothes to be gotten into shape—youngsters to be dressed and
fussed over—little folks too busy and excited to be of much use
to mother.
Fortunately for mother, she has no longer to worry about the
clean clothes problem—each week she is sending her family wash
to us. The time once given to slaving over the wash-tub and
wrestling with heavy boilers and baskets, are now devoted to
better care of the children and the home.
The spic-and-spanness so noticeable in school children today
is a laundry product. Why not YOU give yourself and the kiddies
' the benefit of it. A minute at the phone will do the work.
