OLIGARCHY' Republican Leaders Seeking tot Annox Presidency, Can didate Declares LEAGUED WITH 'INTERESTS' lly the Associated Pre Orrvlllc, ()., Aug. 21. Another spir ited nttark on the "Senate oligarchy" was made here today by Oovernor Cox in an address replj lug to that delivered recently by Senator Harding, his Re publican opponent, in which Mr. Hard ing commended the Senate as a form of popular government. "The Republican candidate," said Oovernor Cox, "has devoted u front porch session to the defense of the T'nlted States Senate. With character istic reactionary isolation from the cur lent of public thought, he falls to dls tineulsh between the Pnited States Son- I nte as an institution nnd the list of t luted States senators who have taken charge of nn important part of the government. "It is our contention thnt a group of men has formed a domineering, nrro gant oligarchy in the Senate, and tltat they have deliberately Interfered with the welfare of the world, delojed read justment in this country, nil to the dis tinct injur and disadvantage of the people." Seeks to Annex Presidency "The feeling against tho Senate." Oovernor Cox declared, "grows specif ically out of the abuses bv the oligarchy. Prompted by its success In obstructive tactics, it has moved into nn entirely new undertaking and it seeks now to annex the presidency." Continuing his attack upon Repub lican campaign contributions, Oovernor Cox also charged that "the greedy in terests which arc making the contribu tions have been in notorious consort with the senatorial oligarchy." Senator Harding, in his address de fendlDg the Senate. Oovernor Cox de clared, "stripped his discussions of the personal cipmtlon nnd elaborated on the wisdom of the fathers in creating two parts of the legislative branch of gov ernment, the Senate nnd the House." "If presidential responsibility is to be shared, it will be with the council lors of the leaders," said Oovernor Cox. "He owes his nomination to them. His gratitude is naturally to them. There Is scarcely n day that some member of the group is not in conference with him. Mnn In Street .Suspicious "The man in the street looks with great misgivings on the whole chain of circumstances that lias developed since the early hours of the morning when the choice of the Republican leaders was ! made in a hotel, nnd not in the conven tion hall nt Chicago. "Not the least disquieting phase of the situation is the unblushing continu ance of the gathering together of millions of dollnrs for campaign purposes. This is not only offensive to public sensibili ties, but the people know perfectly well that the greedy interests which are making the contributions have been in notorious consort with the senatorial oligarchy which is now attempting tn gather unto Itself the power of that lawmaking branch and the presidency as well."
