COX STATES VIEWS
lit DAYTON SPEECH
DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 7.—(Delayed)—Peace for Am
erica and the world by this nation’s entrance into the
League of Nations with “interpretations” not disturbing
its vital principles, was pronounced by Governor Cox as
his paramount policy, in his speech here today accepting
the Democratic nomination for the presidency. He mili
tantly championed the league, as proposed by President
Wilson, but with interpretations insuring good faith and
understanding. He denounced what he termed the dis
honorable proposal of Senator Harding for “a separate
peace with Germany.” A league or not a league, he de
clared, is the issue between the two parties—“the supreme
issue of the century.”
The first duty of the new administration, he said, will
be to secure the ratification of the treaty.
The prohibition amendment and the Volstead act were
not mentioned specifically, but the nominee promised strict
law enforcement.
He urged the ratification of the suffrage amendment.
He flayed the Republicans and said he took up the Demo
cratic standard ‘(a free man, unfettered by promises.”
“Morals cannot easily be created by statute,” the nomi
nee said in referring to the plea against the abuse of writs
of injunction.
He paid a graceful tribute to President Wilson when
scoring the Republican platform for the absence “of a line
that breathes emotion and pride” in the nation’s war,
achievement. He said that while the soldiers fell in the
trenches, President Wilson was broken in enormous labor
in his office.
In a discussion of domestic questions, Governor Cox!
denounced profiteering and promised that the profiteers!
should suffer the penalty of the criminal law.
He advocated fair returns to capital and labor and ap
proved collective bargaining by labor through its own rep
resentatives. “We should not by law abridge man’s rights
or liberty, but neither capital nor labor should take such;
action as might put in jeopardy the public welfare.”
ROBINSON NOTIFIED COX.
DAYTON, Aug. 9.—Governor Cox was notified of his
nomination by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, who re
ferred to the Democratic nominee as “an experienced and
progressive minded leader” with a long record of accom
plishment.
ROOSEVELT TALKS.'
- HYDE PARK, N. Y., Aug. 9.—In his speech of accept
ance today, Franklin D. Roosevelt, vice-presidential nomi
nee of the Democratic party, joined with Governor Cox
in accepting the challenge of the Republicans to make the
League of Nations one of the principal issues of the cam
paign. “The Democratic party has offered this nation a
treaty of peace,” he declared, “which, to make a real treaty,
must include a League of Nations.”
He declared that the two great problems which would
confront the next adminis-!
tration would be our rela-;
tions with the world and the
pressing need of organized
progress at home. The home
needs include the extension
of education to illiterates,]
the strengthening of the im-!
migration laws to exclude i
the physically and morally!
unfit; the improvement of
working conditions; the ex
tension of communication to
make rural life more attrac-j
tive; the further protection I
of women and children in I
industry; the reorganization1!
of governmental machinery.]
Blames Republicans.
In his speech of notifica
tion, Homer S. Cummings:
declared that Americans are!
suffering the staggering pen-!
alties for the Republican
victories of 1918.
Tom Monroe, sourdough black- 1
smith of Fairbanks, was found dead
in his cabin on upper Front street j
yesterday afternoon. The oldtimer
was seated in a chair and had evi
dently been engaged in sharpening
a scythe when beckoned by the
grim reaper. He passed quickly
and apparently without suffering,
death being attributed to heart
trouble, of which the oldtimer had
had several previous attacks.
The deceased had been in the
North a long time. During the
winter of 1898 he prospected at
the head of Sulphur creek, in the
Dawson country. From Dawson he
stampeded to Fairbanks and had
a blacksmith shop there for many
years, although he was not in that
business continuously.

SPOKANE. Aug. 9. —In
an address delivered in this

dent Thomas R. Marshall ex
pressed the belie!' that the
peace treaty, with the League
of Nations covenant, cannot
be adopted, even in case of

even if the Democrats are
successful in electing all
their candidates for the sen
ate, they will still lack the
necessary two-thirds for rati

opinion that one-third of the
American people are unqual
ifiedly against the league,
one-third are for the league
without reservations, and
one-third are for the league
with reservations.
