scheduled hero today on hla visit to St.
iPntil nnd Minneapolis on hi western
tour. NumcrouH rcccitIotis were uW
arranged. Interests of labor and agricul
ture. Governor Cox declared, arc in
tertwined and Interdependent.
Referring to the J.rnKiie of Nations
'With a statement that It v.as not n po
litical nuestlou except when turned to
TmrtlRtnn itHPji. (Jorcrnor Cox said :
"Millions of men, women ami chil
dren in devn.ntnt.eii regions of 1'urope
aro liternlly starvinK to death when
iVmerica has the ability und resource to
provide for them all. But this provision
'cun bo made only when reconstruction
of the Morld has been undertaken under
definite plan.
, Civilization of World at Stake
, "Although our soldiers achieved a
victory in the crcnt war and by their
j direct Contribution brought the war to n
close, we still do not have pence. I ntil
that peace is accomplished little head
way can be made. Not only i" the civi
lization of the world nt stnkp. but the
material welfare of our own couutrj
Is vitally affocted.
"Waste nnd extravagance must con
tinue until by the rntlllcatlon of the
.treaty of peace we and the other coun
tries' should know definitely where we
island."
Turning to the labor qupliou, lov
vrnor Cox continued :
"Labor Is vitally interested in the
plan of readjustment which will be
ndopted. There arc those who think the
answer to present difficulties lies in the
adoption of plan of the past; that
progress has gonn too far. I urn not of
.that class. I think 'that the solution is
dawn "of a new- day when the human
soul and the human body shall count
for more than the sordid dollar,
t. "So long as men work for hire there
will be difference of ontuioii between
those, who labor and those who employ
.labor. Industrial disputes cannot b
voided, but Indubtrlal disputes can be
Jpreveuted from menacing the welfnre
'of the nation when both parties to the
!dlsputp cun bo made to understand thnt
government is fair and that neither one
jsor the other may gam an advuutuge.
t Public Opinion Rules
, "Public opinion rules in America.
Jand public opinion will nlwnjs ettle In
'dnstrlal courlicts If the game be played
la thu open.
i "Labor Day oame to be as one of the
We posts on the road of progress. P.ut

ognize it. The reactionists are iu Mi',
mous groups. They iousit priiimrn.
of the holders of privilege, privilege
conferred by lnws. Tliey strive not only
to retain existing privileges, but to se
cure additional ones. '.Special interests
Is only another term for privileges.
"The privileged few nre assisted by
those who. through deliberate miscon
duct or miseducntion. permit the elimi
nation of the majority rule. Special
"privileges are aided by the extreme radi
cals, who propose thing that are either
unworkable or advanced ahead of their
time. By misguided ndvooacy of inap
propriate things, they deceive many
earnest citizens who desert from pio
eressivism. "Labor should have the right to or
canize and through representatives of
thefr own choosing negotiate collective
"bargaining. This right never has been
denied capital. Care must be exercised
that government at no time be made op
pressive iu maintaining the laws of the

Klshts Mustn't Be Impaired
"I have said that public opinion will,
settle Industrial disputes, und to this
end believe the government should pro
vide for proper investigation in nil
cases, with provision for the filing of
the facts without prejudice, so that the
public mny have full information. The
right to free speech and free press and
the right of orderly a-emhlv, guaran
teed by the constitution, must never he
Infringed.
"Too long have we urged the down
trodden of other hinds to come to us ur
laborcre. without giving a thought to
their proper absorption in the melting
pot. Once on our -"hores, they hnve
been forgotten uutil. bv our own neg
lect, they hiue become a serious menace
through lack of pducation and under
standing of our ideals.
"Amerlcaniziitmii must be seriously
undertaken b the goenimeiit. with in
WAGON ROVERS f.
slstence upon full co-opcmtlon by the
employers of this lab6r."
rging nucquntc remuneration tor
(tovernlnent employes, Governor Cox
said that If .elected he would sign a. bill
granting the "long Buffering nnd loyal
postal employes tfio rolief they so richly
deserve In the way of appropriate and
adequate wages."
Discusses Farm Problems ,
Discussing agricultural problems,
Governor Cox telterated many sugges
tions made in hia speech of acceptance,
Including federal reclamation, agricul
tural extension and home building.
"In working out the problems of
Am,erjrnn farm life," he said, "tho ex
tension of transportation systems, the
hiilldlntr of cood roads nnd the creation
of modem school facilities in tho coun
try, which bring the boy and girl on
tbe farm the opportunities thnt are ot
fered to tho boy and girl of the city, go
hand In hund. It Is now possible also
to bring cycu the most remote rural
district the entertainment facilities to
be found lu the more populated cen
ters. "Farm work should no longer be
drudgery. Labor-saving machinery long
slnco reduced the period of toll In the
Holds. It Is now possible to upply tho
same method to make more enjoynblo
tbe existence of thn farmers' wives."
The governor ulso reiterated his ad
vocacy of federal regulation of cold
storage dcclaritfg thnt it would "break
tho circle of profiteering."
G. 0. P. Candidate
Supports Unionism
Continued from 1'axp On
for the high wage the American work
man shall give to his task the highest
degree of efficiency. I nin not advo
cating the driving, slavish period of
toll which saps men's energies, but I
hold that the slacker, the loafer on the
job, is not only the greatest obstacle
to labor's advancement, but he is cheat
ing his fellows more than he docs his
employer.
"Let no one beguile you with drenms
of idleness, of the passing of employ
ment, on the abolition of employer nnd
employe. Life without toil, if possible,
would be on intolerable existence. Work
is the supreme engagement, the sublime
luxury of life.
"And there will be employers so
long as there Is leadership among men,
nnd there will be employes until huinnu
progress is paralyzed and the develop
ment of human kind dies on one com
mon altar of mediocrity. Our problem,
then, is to find the highest order of em
plo.Mnent. tho Ideal relationship, tbe
conditions under which we may work
to the highest attainment und the
greatest common good For nil concerned.
Labor and Capital Not In Conflict
"It is utterly false to assume that
labor ami capital nre In deadly conflict.
It is not important to establish, which
element comes first, since each is psspn
tinl to the other. We do know thnt
labor, the human element, is of deepest
public concern. Tbe deplornble side of
modern industry is thnt too mnny men
nre toiling like machines at work.
"Men ought to know n pride in the
thing done. The big inspiration in life
is to get on. When men tell you this is
the privilege of the few, they challenge
jour intelligence
"I wish I could plant the gospel of
loyalty to work and Interest iu accom
plishment. It is the ambition t' suc
ceed, the determination to do the most
nnd best these speed men on to the
heights. The pity is that we do not
hap enough of it under modern condi
tions. "There is too much mechanical grind,
too little contact betwciii emplover and
umployp, tort little understanding of
their mutuality of interest and then
Joint, triumph in success. I hail with
ttfl&t satisfaction the workman who has
pride in the factor und its output, und
the employer who has pride and sym
pathetic interest in his workmen.
"I am sorry the old, intimate con
tact between employer nnd pt.iIojp Is
gone. I wish wo could have the Inti
macy Restored, not in the old way, but
througn n joint committee of emploxcrs
and employes, not to run the business.
but to promote and maintain the mu
tuality of interext and the fullest un
derstanding. Herein, lies the surest
remedy for most of your Ills.
' Would Prcicnt Labor Strife
"The world is thinking about means
to prevent war among nations, and we
approve, and share the aspiration. But
America is also thinking about pie-
cut itij; industrial conflict, and nil at
tending waste, suffering and anxiety.
The matter has become of interest to the
public, even mora than the forces en
gaged in any conflict.
"Our observation Is, ns nn eminent
labor lender has said, that 'all strikes
sooner or later nro settled around a
tabic; then why not get around the
tnule before the strike, begins
"Wc cannot have compulsory nrbl
tratton, because all parties must con
sent to establish arbitration and enforce
its conclusions. I think we can have
and ought to have volltionnl arbitra
tion, The best thought of the day com
mends this way to settlement.
"The wage scalo which contemplates
a rental cost In oue place might be
wholly inadequate to meet the cost in
another) and n nationalized scale would
work nn Injustice. This point was de
veloped In the- recent rnllwny contro
versies. "This brines me to tho subject of rnll
wny legislation and the enactment of
the Cummlus-nseh bill restoring tho
railways to the lawful owners. Ave
owed It to the railway owners to re
store their property, seized for war
service, Just as wo owe the return of
me -people's money invested in govern-"
mont loans. In free nnd thoughtful
America we do not take advantage ot
war's tumult to change the regular or
der of things.
"I am well aware that many earnest
railway workers and advocates of tho
Socialist plan preferred to take tho rail
roads and put them under the operation
of thp employes, but that was not con
templating faith with America or Amer
ican promlscb. We were honor bound
to makV- the return. I favored it for
tho additional reason that I do not be
lieve m government owncrsnip.
Gocrnment's Hands Full
"The government must do ninny
things, but It has enough to di with
out invading the held of private ac
tivity, not, nt any rate, until govern
ment demonstrates its capacity for effi
ciency. "I do not pretend to say the rnll
way act is perfect ; indeed. I know it
is not. But Congress was dealing with
n problem of first importance, and it
hnd to speed the legislation. There wns
the conflict of ninny minds, ns It wns
light the.re should be.nnd the fiunl Jict
wns a compromise. Nevertheless, Ino
llcvp it to bo a good law, and cordially
sup)orted It.
"It does not guarantee dividends,
It limits them. It did make n six
months' guarantee, but thnt was to
ennble the stupendous financing for
rehabilitation. There wns no ample up
keep during the wni, and the public Is
suffering today from railroad inade
quacy. The government hns held n commis
sion rontrol over financing, rntemaklng
nnd all that concerns the shipping pub
lic, und hns made working conditions
and wages matters of concern to gov
ernment itself.
Kail Workers Preferred Class
"Railway workers are mndp a pre
ferred class, and government has slu
gled out rnllwny workers to see that
their just trentment is a matter of pub
lie pledge. This is progress.
"This law does not contain nn nntl
strike clause. You cannot take away
from nnv man the right to quit his em
plovment, but It does aim st the prompt,
Ins'tnnt grant of Justice, full Justice;
nnd justice, men. is the best guarantee
of all civilization. It does not inter
fere with collective bargaining; on the
contrary, it facilitates It.
"More, the brief experience already
bad proves thnt Congress baa provide
mo way to nnmcuinie nraring ui mu
grlnvancea of railway workmen nnd
prompt .cbmpllancp with their Just de
mands. No labor In tho world todayfa
so fortunately situated aji that on tho
American railroads. "
"Let us try out the nct.and tho rajt
way restoration In patience. , If we
havo fallen short, thb conscience of
America will sanction every modification
needed to aim nt perfection.
To Iteduce Living Cost
"I want to see profiteering Isolated
and punished. It is a moral wrong
nnd nn economic robbory. The ono who
practices profiteering is falso to business
and to country. I do1 not know of n
deadlier foo to our common country,
because he creates tho unrest thai;
threatens from within and emphasizes
tho appeal to class.
"Reduced cost of government will
help, nnd wo can reduce cost of gov
ernment by quitting the play of poli
tics with the nntion's bread' and butter.
Stago assaults on profiteering, mostly
dealing with petty offenders, do not
deeply Impress the country, nnd sugar
agreements which add a billion to our
sugar bills for n year do not indlcato
a know-how which entitles the bunglers
to hold their Jobs.
"I do not blow you a bnbbla ot im
aginary equality of men or women, hutl
I do proclaim equality ot opportunity,
proven in America and making America
the best land of hops In nil the world."
Senator Harding has not rejected the
League of Nations wholly nnd finally.
Nothing in his address of August 28, In
which his attitude was fully set forth,
can be construed as inimical to a con
cert of nations for the prevention of
war. Neither docs tho position of the
Republican nominee contemplate a sep
arate ponce with Germany, or commit
him to such n course.

York, formerly nttorney general nnd

La Follette Awaits
Voting Tomorrow
Continued from I'Bite One
crime, tho railroad brotherhoods, call it
a crime, and the Germans, glad to
get anything with whtcj to hit a. man
who voted for ratification of the trcnty,
also call It a crime.
Ixmroot Stands on Treaty Record
Besides his vote for tho Ksch-Cum-mins
railroad bill, Lenroot has hnd to
defend his vote for the treaty. These
arc tho two big issues which the La
Follette people have raised against him.
Against the La Follette candidates
the issue Is raised thnt their victory
means' the Non-Partisan League's con
trol of the state. And there Is some
thing to this charge, for It seems cer
tain thnt whoever wins, the Non-Partisan
League and the Socialists will to
gether control tho Wisconsin Legisla
ture. i
If the La Follette candidate, Blnine.
Is nominated, Wisconsin will have n
radical governor, co-opcrntlng with the
Non-Partisan League nnd Socialists,
nnd the state will start upon n career
of -radical legislation similar to that of
North Dakota.
Tho Issue divides the stnte. The
Democrats will probably vote In the
Republican primaries for Lenroot. And

tho' Socialists wM rtrobablv also vote In
tho Jomo torlmarlef fdr La Folletto's
candidate, Thompson. They did bo nU
'most to n 'man 1h tho spring primaries
when delegates to the"natlonni Repub
lican convention were chosen, with the
result that La Folletto's slate of dele
gates won by n majority of 45,000.
SocJMInt Vote Is nijf Fnetor
The result ot the contest between
Lenroot and Thompson will depend
largely uponi two factors: To whnt
extent the Socialists vote for Thompson
nnd how largo n'voto Mavor Mcllcnry,
of Lacrosse,' another La Fohctto man,
who is BC'k'lnK the senalorshlp, obtains.
McIIenry Is a wet candidate nnd Lbn
root's friends hope that he will cut
rather dcerlly Into the Thompson vote
They hope also thnt tho efforts of tho
Socialist party managers to induce the
Socialists to voto'in their own prlmnrics
nnd not in tne ltepubiican primaries
will be successful. If theso two hopcu
aro realized, It is thought that Mr. Len
root will be nominated.
t Is said here that Lenroot has made
progress In tho last two weeks of the
campaign and now has a fain chance, to
win. A fortnight ago tho' Btato wns
ylrtnnlly conceded to La Toilette.
The La Follette' candidate, Blaine,
has ft hotter chance to win the gov
ernorship than has Thompson to win
the cnntorshlp There are two La
Toilette men seeking the governorship
Blaine and Dlthmar. The latter Is
disavowed by La Follette, but his Ocr
man name may attract some, of La
Toilette's German eupport.
The anti-La Follette: strength on the
governorship will be divided among four
candidates, of whom the two lenders
aro State Senator Roy P. Wilcox and
Dr. Gilbert K. Seaman. This division
of tho opposition almost assures Blaine's
nomination.
Will Cut Republican Votes
Whichever side wins there will be
n big dollcction of Republican votes nt
the polls. The Democratic party will
put In the tield two unusually strong
candldntes Dr. Paul S. Relnsch, for
mer minister to Chinn und former head
of the department of political science
in the Udiversity of Wisconsin, for
senator, ftn Colonel Robert BrucOtc
coy for governor".'
If tho La Folletto candldntes win, the
moro conservative Republicans will feel
they owe no party obligation, to sup
port tho La Folletto ticket, It being
regarded as mbro Nonpartisan League
than Republican. And ff Lenroot wjns
many of La Follette's German voters
will be attracted by the German name
of DoctorHcinsch 0nd support blm for
thd scnatorshlp. v
But the' Democratic party Is only tho
third party In tho state; and tho big
majority by which Senator Harding Is
likely to enrry Wisconsin will be al
most certain to pull through the Re
publican candidates for senator and
governor, no matter which faction wins
tomorrow. Senntor Harding is expected
to have a majority of at least 100,000
