of Senator Harding a
South Bend, Ind., Aug:. 19.?
Charges that at least $15,000,-000 are
'being contributed to the Kepublican
campaign by selfish interests were
< made today by Governor Cox, Demo- j
cratic presidential candidate, during
the course of two addresses opening
the Indiana Democratic campaign:
"That is its low mark," he said, j
"and the sky apparently is the limit.
In Ohio $500,000 was raised in the
twinkling of an eye. They have subdivided
America in seven districts
and influential men representing selfish
and greedy interests are passing
the hat. They are trying to buy a
governmental underholt. It is a mere
bagatelle compared with what the
contributors expect to get back."
Pleas for the league of nations, denunciations
of what he said was the
Republican plan for separate peace
with Germany, promises of tax reductions
and problems of the high
cost of living were other features of
Governor Cox's address. He spoke
to a crowd of several thousand late
today on the court house square, attended
a banquet of the Indiana
Tiomnprntip Editors* association and
tonight addressed another large
crowd at another large public meeting
in the coliseum.
Plan of Wall Street.
With the Republican campaign
fund a special object of the governor's
attack* he declared that Wall
street interests were planning to
emasculate the federal reserve act in
event of Republican victory by providing
that bankers only shal be eligible
to a federal board membership;
to secure power over credits aud interest
rates.
Governor Cox also urged federal
relation of packers and other cold
storage concerns with time limits for
storage of foodstuffs.
To the editors in his audience
comprising about 500, Governor Cox
gave his views on the print paper situation
urging reforestation, inveighing
against a print paper combina- j

tributed to the paper shortage. He j
also took sharp exception to Senator |
Harding's depreciation of the disap- j
pearance of political organs. Urging j
an "independent press," Governor j
Cox said that Senator Harding's was,
"a dangerous proposal" suggesting
control of papers by the "senate (.
oligarchy."
Tennessee's ratification of the wo- !
man suffrage amendment brought j
from the candidate fin his discussion j
of the league the statement that war
is more unlikely than yesterday.
Women Will Help
Praising women as "progressive j
and patriotic," Governor Cox con- j
tinued:
"I think they are going To help j
things. Their mother instinct is go- j
ing to stay the hand of war and that j
in itself is sufficient to justify the '
cause of woman suffrage."
The league, Governor Cox de- '
dared, is necessary to "keep faith ,
with the boys who died in France," !
|
and also, he said, involves "the pur- J
pose, the home, the happiness and the i
self respect of every man, woman j
and child."
It is needed, he said, to reduce the
cost of living by decreasing taxes for j
armament, and by stabilizing agri
culture and industry. It is the great ,
transcendant issue of the campaign, I
he declared. j
Republican arguments that the
league would impair Air ^ncan sov-;
ereignty were pronounced "moonshine"
bv the governor, declaring
that if American sovereignty was im- ,
paired so would that of 29 other
league members.
"If they all lose it, where d^3s it
go?" he asked. "Who gets it?"
"Former President Taft Says Cox j
is right and Harding wrong," the 1
governor continued, "but that he will j
vote for Harding. If I am right you
owe it to your conscience to vote for
me.
"The league of nations is the sali

rvation of the people of every nation.
. Screen of Hypocrisy.
Republican opposition, Governor
Cox reiterated, is "a smoke screen
of hypocrisy to secure the spoils of
office." /
/
He also denied that the league
would get America into every European
"squabble," reiterating that
congress only may declare war and
order Americans to foreign duty.
1 Some Republicans, Governor Cox
said, objected to President Wilson's.
j visit to France. "The president
went," the speaker asserted, "to prevent
consummation of a dishonorable
peace"' and, he suggested, "won a
greater victory at the peace tabic in
the world pence plan than was se:'
cured in battle."
Governor Cox also rapped Senator
Harding's front porch campaign and'
often assailed the Republican "senatorial
oligarchy" which he said, was
"now attempting to elect one of its
mpmhprs president." Reiterating
that he was "a free man," Governor
Cox said that he would "not be tied
to my front porch by a senatorial
ring or any other kind of ring, nor
owned by any such combination
when in the White House."
Attacking the Republican campaign
fund Governor Cox said that
the "minimum fund which is demanded
is $15,000,000.''
In PIvofal States
"This will not be scattered gen- j
erally over the country but it will
be used in certain close and pivoted
states," he said, "and it will be put
to the uses which can not be defined
in ethics. Meetings are being held i
now in the cities, quotas are being
allotted and the money is coming in/'
Certain bankers who Governor Coxsaid*
are contributing are those who
he charged were seeking to emasculate
the' federal reserve act.
"Many bankers in writing their
checks," he continued, "to the Republican
national committee are simply
making an investment."
Such contributions are not being
made and would not be received by
thr Democrats, Governor Cox declared,
adding:
"And I intend to cast my eye on
every contribution and we are not going
to have any tainted money."
Others, he continued,-are writing
large checks so that if their puppets
' -1- ?i. i
ana tuois ?;t:L liuu umce
have the bayonet to enforce their
will.
Referring to the spread of Bolshevism,
Governor Cox declared::
"The surest gauarantee of Bolshevism
is -an administration which is
revealed to have bought the presidency."

PLEASANT AND PROFITABLE
DAY AT SMYRNA CHURCH
i By invitation ami at the command
of Mr. Arthur Kibler, president of
the county Sunday school convention,
I had the pleasure of attending
the annual session of the county convention
at Smyrna Presbyterian
church on Sunday.
I drove cut in my new 111 and
carried President Kibler. The secretary
furnishes a detailed account of
the convention but I feel like saying
a word or two about the meeting.
There was a large attendance and
the good spirit that prevailed among
the delegates and visitors made it a
most pleasant and profitable day for
all who were present. President Kib- j
ler is an enthusiastic and ardent
i worker for the Sunday school, and
I during his administration the past
year the interdenominational association
has made much progress an:! has
done good work. Mr." Kibler believes
in doing things when he goes
at it, . and he does things, as was
evidenced by the large number of
delegates present and the fine program
which he had arranged.
This was my first opportunity to
attend service in this church. It was |
a matter of regret to an mat tno pao-1
tor, the Rev. E. C. Croker, couli not
be present, but he has not been very
well for some time, and is now off on
his vacation, but will be back by the
first Sunday in September to resume
his labors, and all wish that he may
be much improved in health.
' Smyrna is one o? the fine country
churches in this county and has a
large and substantial membership and I
the good people take a pride in keep-1
ing their church in the front rank and
have made during the recent past
some very great improvements in the
arrangement and important additions
so as to accommodate the Sunday
i eehool.
President Kibler had directed me
to go cut and take the Rev. E. V.
Babbrs place on the program. Of
course I could not do that, but I did
the best I could under the embarrassment
of trying to take the place.
The Sunday scnooi wont is a .^wv
one, and it is gratifying: to sc^ the
interest being taken in it by the- men
as well as the women. The proper
training of the children is the great
problem before the men and women
of this generation. Much of the future
greatness of our republic depends
upon it and the training received
in the Sunday school is among
the best and most lasting that you
can give to the children.
The good people of Smyrna and
the visiting delegates spread the dinner
on the ground and every one had
a sufficient of the good things which ,
the women of Newberry know so well' .
how to prepare. The following resolutions
offered by the committee on
resolutions, E. H. Aull, J. Y. Jones ,
and James F. Epting, expressed in
some feeble way the sentiments of
the convention and were heartily J,
adopted by the delegates:
j Rsolvcd, That this county Sunday ,
school convention desires to put on \
record its appreciation of^the cordial <
welcome and hearty and soul inspiring
reception and entertainment it
has received from the good and hospitable
people of the Smyrna church
J and community.

BIG FILIBUSTER
ON ALABAMA SOIL
THIRTY MEMBERS OF TENNES
SEE LEGISLATURE AT DECATUR
Men Who Quit- Their State to
Break Quorum Declare They
Will Remain Away.
Decatur, Ala., Aug. 21.?"It shall
not pass,'' was the new battle cry
taken up by the 30 filibustering members
of the Tennessee house quartered
at a local hotel here today. The
25 legislators who crossed the state
line into Alabama this morning at
daylight to break a quorum in the
house and prevent final ratification of
the Susan B. Anthony suffrage
amendment, were joined by five adrli
+ innnl momhprs this afternoon.
Sunday morning the entire party
will attend services at the First Baptist
church here, wearing in the
lapels of their coats the emblem, a
red rose, signifying their opposition
to ratification of the suffrage amendment.
The silence which the filibustcrers
have maintained since their arrival
here this morning was broken tonight
by Representative Kail of Nashville,
who gave an extended interview
setting forth the reasons for
the flight from Tennessee.
"T i T> T> T
" in iODO, X"iirsuil -DIUV?H uvvy waned
an extraordinary session of the
negro and carpet bagger legislature
and at the point of the bayonet ratified
the 14th amendment," he said.
"This action was talked over and
to prevent a recurrence of such action
there was incorporated into the
constitution a provision that no legislator
shall ever act on a federal
amendment unless the amendment is
submitted before said legislator is
electcd. The 19th amendment was
passed in May, 1919. This legislature
was elected in November, 1918."
XT o 11 orm-nr] f Vl o
COCll i,a ti? t: nan wiu
federal amendment was a blow at
state rights, an'd declared that its
ratification would place in ' federal
hands the authority over elections.
Governor Roberts again was charged
with exerting coercion to force reprepresentatives
to vote for ratification
by Representative Hal!.
"We know," he Said, "that certain
members of the legislature who hold
political appointments under the
present governor are not voting the
will of the people they were elected
to represent, nor, according to the
-1 - - X ? 1 J- 1- ~ A/vv?f/?l/N?AA knf

according1 to the mandate of the
state's chief executive."
( Four more legislators are on Alabama
soil and are due here Sunday,
according to Representative Hall of
Nashville. The names of those who
arrived this afternoon were given as
Representatives Whitfield, Boyd,
Skidmore, Crawford and Smith. Representatives
Russell, Rucker, McMurray
and Cheek are due here tomorrow.
