E Doclares Its Troatment a False , Issue to Hide Reactionary Purposes DEMOCRATS WOULD "BEND" Hy CLINTON V. OILBEKT StiuT Corrrspondtiit of the Rrcntne I'ubllc Islgrr CwivrloM, lsto, lu rubUe Ltdatr Co. Columhtu, 0., Aug, 18. Governor Cox nt tho Democratic Mate conven tion here yesterday took a step forward In developing his plan of campaign, nn ntlnck upon the Republican party and Hi candidate ns the party nnd candidate of reaction, nnd n treatment of the league issue ns n false Issue raised by the reactionaries to hide their own pur poses. Virtually the whole speech was nn arraignment of DJnrdlng na the leader of the opposition to all that was done to make Ohio n progressive state, nnd nn appeal to the Progressive vote every where. The league Issue was presented last and verv briefly, ns Iu tho second speech nt Wheeling. The governor's nrgument on the league was ns follows: The whole Republlcnn position on the league is disingenuous. The rcac tionIcs in tho Republlcnn party de feated tho, league for political purposes, to rob President Wilson of the credit that would Inevitably come from Its ac ceptance, and thus to make n Republi can victory easier. The dishonesty of uie nepuouenn position is shown, he ,?All&t - tended in the Senate Inst vear. The league issue as presented by Ilnrdlng is inns notning out n smoke screen a fig ure of speech used by the governor in every speech behind which selfish In terests nrc seeking the presidency. To "Interpret" League To get rid of tho league issue the governor went further before the Demo crats here yesterday in Indicating his readiness to nccent reservations. Tie declared that his party would add in terpretations to tnc covenant which would serve full notice on the people "f V1,0,,?"11.', t,t, w,e can ? fl,r "'"' no further. This is very far fiom the Wilson position that the service of nnv such notice Is unnecessary nnd not very far from the Lodge position that the league requires Americanizing. The Iden which the governor is try ing to drive home Is that if he Is Pres ident the league covenant will be quick ly adopted with reservations vvlilrh will set nt rest nny fear of this cnuntrj 's being involved, without nderpintc con sideration by Congress, in European nffnirs and that he. as President, will not repent the Wilson mistnkc of get ting embroiled with Congicss on the trenty. "I shnll not be enptious," lie snld yesterday. Furthcrmote, he would hnve it understood the league offers the best hope of ending war. The Re publican plan has never been disclosed and. nt best, it will Involve delay. Yesterday's speech is probably one of the 'important speeches of the Cox campaign. The candidate evidently counts upon it to throw large upon the screen the issue on which he hopes to have the campaign fought that of progress ngolnst renction. The nttack upon Ilnrdlng, ns the lender of the forces which sought to prevent th modernization of Ohio's constitution, wns shnrp, Tt will be repeated until it provokes a rejoinder, nnd then the gov ernor hopes to hnve the Issue Joined be tween himself nnd Ills rival, in which case, as he expresses it, he will have punctured the anioke screen behind which the Republican candidate is op crating. Quoted From Harding Taper The statement that by adopting tlie new constitution "Ohio had opened the wny to socialistic rule nnd thnt Ohio tion is on" is takeu from Mr. Hard ing's newspaper, the Marion Star. It is not u personal utterance of the Re publican candidate as the ndvnnLC topy of the speech Indicated. Governor Cox 1 inuuu mm cu-iii. There is little doubt of the Repub lican candidate's personal responsibility for it. He opposed, the new constitu tion in Ohio, nnd, after it had been adopted, opposed legislation carrjltig out some of its provisions. The oppo sition was organized, and ns the gov ernor declared in his speech, used the Ilnrdlng Mnrlon newspaper plant to get out n pnper circulated free and called after Mr. Ilmding's paper, the Ohio Star. But opposition to the new Ohio con stitution is not the damning thing Gov crnor Cox would make out. The cir cumstances were these: The new con stitution was adopted In 1011.', the most rndicnl yenr in tho histor.v of Ameri cnu politics, the yenr of the Progies sive split and of Colonel Roosevelt's ndvoency of the rccnll of judicial de cisions. Some of this rndlcnllsm got into the Ohio constitution. Tup uew stnte charter hnd two great vices as well ns two grent virtues. Opposed Worst Features It provided for direct primaries, and It provided for the referendum on leg islntion. Nobody would be regarded us a dangerous leactionary who would op pose these two devices today, and the extract from Mr. Harding's nevvspnper declaring that the revolution is on seems to rest chlelly on opposition to the di rect primaries und referendum. The two great virtues of the Ohio constitution were that it cut down the law's delajs by limiting nppcHls, nnd that It ended the old common hiw de fenses ugnlnst employers' liability for i.i,t, , .(,, ,i,n t-..w,i,,,i fellow servant, assumption of risk nnd contributor negligence rules.

Littlest Front-Pdrch Delegation Visits Harding Marlon, 0 Aug. 18. (Uy A. P.) Senator Harding received his lit tlest front-porch delegation today. It consisted of six barefoot Mnrlon urchins .who marched up in military dignity, under the command of n cocky little leader, bearing aloft an American flag nnd a Harding pic ture nailed to the back of a snow shovel. They serenaded the senator with n cnmpalgn song and were rewarded with n handshake and a smile apiece and the privilege of having their pic tures taken with the nominee. reel). One of tho subjects (llpcussed was relief of the candidate from direction of details of his speaking Itinerary, and In view of Governor Cox's expressed nvcrslon, to professional "press agents" and "publicity directors,' It was un destood none would bo attached to his Inmediate staff. Employment of a "big, bulky man" as a personal aide to clear the way for him by acting ns n "human wedge" In crowds nt railroad stations and elsewhere on his tour was suggested. Governor Cox will leave here tonight to fill an engagement nt South Bend, Ind., before the Democratic Kdltors' Association tomorrow. He will go via Chicago, where ho will breakfast, and remain there three hours, leaving at 10 a. in.
