affected by the Newberry episode (
Qj
money was spent after it had been
collected from business interests in 'r
the preconvention campaign in such ^
sums that the whole country was
shocked by the scandal.

"The Newberry lesson went un- ij
heeded by the interests behind presi-1
dential candidates in the spring and .
early summer of 1920, and the ad-'1
r -j
monition which multiplied in circum- |1
stances of the recent past would or-:v
1 V1
dinarily carry to the normal mind, is
insufficient to stay the hand of greed,; ^
of conspiracy and corruption, which j

Organized in December.
; n
Governor Cox recited how the Re-;
publican ways and means committee
was organized last December and its
work, he saiJ. was "vigorously pushed (
from the very first." Its local chair-: e
men, he said were business men in : q
most instances very wealthy men. |g
In this connection he quoted from
a letter John Kirby, Jr., chairman of!,,
the Dayton, Ohio, committee of Feb-! &
rtiary 7 last, stating "This is a pure- p
ly business men's movement." i c
! ^
"It took on the impetus of a com- j
mercial .enthusiasm," Governor Cox . j
continued. "In addition to the local tj
chairmen state managers were en-! ?
^ gaged traveling representatives oper- \g
ated; salaries running as high as $500 q
a week and expenses have been paid."
(governor Cox quoted at length I
from many issues of the "Upham ^
bulletin." 1 | ?
A statements by Mr. Upham said'a
that Senator Harding's election was 11]
the "job" and involved "the simplest j ?
principles of salesmanship, knowl-' u
edge in our goods, faith in our goods,! a
tact and energy in presenting our
? ? 1 la
goods," Governor Cox aeciarea.
"The quotes were very soon an- j
nbunced," said Governor Cox. "The '
meeting was held in Chicago. Mr. j T
Hays addressed it and spoke his:
blessings. Typewritten sheets were j
distributed to those assembled. I j II
produce herewith, one of those sheets:
which carries quotas as indicated."
At this poinu Governor Cox pre-! T
sented the list of cities.
"The sum Of $8,145,000 is to come,
' * 00 ?* ? +Vi a luror.
nor irom 20 siaica, uu L 11 V1JI WiAW |
est "cities in 27 states, said the gov-; T
ernor." 'But let us see whether the j
quotas placed upon the largest cities j
were exceeded. Again we come for
proof to the official bulletin which,
under date of August 10 says: Boston,
Mass., had a 90 per cent, attendance
at an organization meeting
on August 4. This is an excel- 0
lent record for a hot day. Real in-'
terest was aroused. Senator Weeks |f
inspired them with an understanding! c

produce, 1 j t]
"That they did produce is proved j 0
by the bulletin of August 10, 1920, j ?
when telegrams received that day j
were published. Among others we j
see the following Metropolitan Boston
willing to contribute more than
'250 per cent, of its original quota
which would turn the Boston fund i
from $300,000 to $750,000.
"The Columbus, Ohio, quota is!
$100,000 and yet, in the bulletin of
August 10, a telegram from Columv?to
ie incprtpr? rarrvine these reas
JL/UkJ iAiWV* W WV.J ? y ^
suring words: "Then, too, the end is'
not yet, for it is probable the sum |
of $150,000 for the state and national
treasury will stand to the
credit of Columbus before the first
day of September." Then a little
color was given to the story.
Not Final Total.
"That the $8,000,000 fund is not
to be the final total in the country at
large has already been clearly
proved. Further information is supplied
by official Republican docu- j
ments. For instance, the bulletin i
^ -wn^pr Hafp of August 5 announces: J
'The following cities in Tennessee
are all organized for quotas: Chattanooga,
Nashville, Memphis and
Knoxvilie.' Only one of these cities
is in the $8,000,000 list?Memphis
is assigned $25,000. The bulletin of
August 10 announces: 'Chattanooga
oversubscribed its quota this week.
The* balance of the Tennessee cities
are being carefully canvassed.'
"Not a city in Arkansas is listed in
the $8,000,000 class. Only one city
in Louisiana?New Orleans. Only
one city in Georgia, Atlanta. Not a
single city in North Carolina and
yet Harry W. Blair wired the Bulletin
as follows: 4Why not urge the
rest of the United States to emulate
the example of Arkansas, Louisiana,
Georgia and North Carolina, which
are all over the top. North Carolina
went over on the 27th of July
and the end is not yet.7
"In the state of Michigan, only one
city, Detroit, is put in the $8,000,000
class and yet the Bulletin under
date of August 10 says that: 'Flint,
Mich., business men decided to make
their campaign short and snappy and
by
''The 'money diggers' struck pay \
iirt in Florida. C. C. Buhen of Eau
}allie under date of August 7 wired
he Bulletin as follows: 'Many coun- j
:es of Florida organization. Dade |
tnd Palm Beach counties very i
trongly lined up. Key West shows
nuch interest. Also Fort Pierce.'
"SDeakinsr of Florida, the Bulle- -
- J- " ' I
m carries this paragraph under date ,
f August 10: 'Florida Republicans I
ay they wish to help pay the freight
or return of good Republican days.' j
Maine is not found in the king ;
o\v and yet under date of August j
6 the Bulletin places her in the list j
nth these words: 'With this contri- i
ution, Maine, the Pine Tree state, j
iad been oversubscribed $5,000/
"Coming to Ohio we find Por*s- |
nouth is not in the Ohio list but the j
Juiletin of August 16 says 'Ports- '
nouth raised its quota at one meet-;
ng-y j
"Xew Hampshire is not named and ;
et the Bulletin of August 10 says i
\'ew Hampshire money is being sent j
very day to the Eastern treasury, i
Chairman hopes to complete entire
tate's quota by this week.'
"Only one city in Colorado, Den- |
er, is mentioned, yet the Bulletin of 1
august 15 says: 'Colorado?S. C. j
lamlin, state chairman, guarantees !
tate's quota by September 1.'
"Even South Dakota reports to the j
bulletin of August 10 that 'Sioux j
'alls had an enthusiastic meeting Au- j
ust 4 and promises its. quota by Au-!
urt 15.' It is not in the $S,000,- ,
CO list. j
"Boys, Get the Money."
"I am sure the country will be in- |
crested," the governor continued,
in some of the methods that were
dopted that kept things going. Ii
tie Bulletin of August 10 Harry M. *
Hair, Mr. Upham's first assistant,
nder his own signature contributes
n article entitled 'Step on It.'
"These are his slogans:
'Harding an<i Ccolidge have the
confidence of the people,
B-U-T, boys, get the money,
'he platform is sound enough tc
hold the weight of the nation.
B-U-T, boys, get the money,
t tak"* time to organize, but wf
haven't any time left,
B-U-T, boys, get the money,
he weather is hot; the men are or
vacation; meetings are hare'
to get,
B-U-T, boys, get the money.
here are hills to climb, B-U-T v.
you want to make a hill at the
same soeed you've been run
ning where the road was level
you've got to give it more
power,
Give her the gas; step on it."
Governor Cox closed his statement
n contributions thus:
"When my charge of a corruptior
und was first made, Will H. Hays
hairman of the Republican nationa'
ommittee, made a distinct threat ir
hese words: 'If, at the instance o'

A capacity audience cheered and ;

i i-- A. i I... u j
appiause was ne..umeiieci u> l:;i nums, .
hung' at each seat which screeched !
their approval of the governor's ;
statement.
As he read the list of cities as- j
signed quotas, Governor Cox, coming ;
to the $00,000 opposite to Dayton, |
Ohio, his home, interpolated: "It!
will take GO times $00,000 to carry j

Commenting' on the reports "un-1

Governor Cox suggested that a small j
group of men would guarantee pay- j
ment in the event of deficits in popu- !
lar subscriptions. i
"They'll need the money," Gover- i
nor Cox interjected.
Besides declaring as he concluded \
his statement on Republican contri- j
buticns that be renewed his charges i
and accepted Mr. Hays' challenge j
Governor Cox said: '
"I prove the charges."
The governor asked whether any
one in the audience was not convinced.
A man in the gallery stood
ip and shouted, "Yes."
Cries of "Throw him out" were in- j

"Why are you not convinced?'* |
isked the governor.
"Because you have 'not named a

las contributed one penny," the man
eplied.
Amid considerable confusion, Govrnor
Cox replied that the Republian
leaders could produce the name?
