HISTORICAL DATA | IN NEW BOOK Democratic Manual Draws on Oflicial Records Not Commonly Available COX RECORD STRONG Story ol Remaking of Ohio Under His Administration a Chapter of Value New York, Sept. 11. —As a manual for reference purposes the democratic campaign text hook of 1920, Issued today, promises to transcend in permanent value its primary purpose as a political document. It contains accurate references to ollicial records at Washington not easily accessible to the casuul student. These make it a distinct contribution to the history oi the world war, to which it is in pur. devoted. The chapters devoted to tills topic are in fact non-partisan in character. The book has a further permanent character in the fact-story it tells of die virtual remaking of Ohio under the stewardship of Governor James M. Cox. Since lie assumed the executive reins in that state fifty-six progressive measures have been enacted, mul - ing for social, legislative, fiscal, agricultural, labor and educational progress. It is a remarkable record as set forth in these pages. Cox the governor is portrayed as well as Cox the candidate, to whose pledges the corn; try is lending an attentive ear. “Jimmy” Cox, beloved of children i ind men and wounded soldiers, is the man most often visible in the day-to-day news reports. From the democratic text book there emerges an executive of Bterner stuff, an unconiI promising champion of progressive I legislation, and a determined guardian of the public treasury. Measures which t Ohio owes almost wholly to him have saved the state millions of dollars. Work For Women Described. , What the democrats have done for women is set out in a series of chi p levs beginning with one on the ratifies tiou of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage , amendment by the democratic stale of Tennessee. Other chapters deal with women in industry and women it. public office. These chapters point out the progressive legislation passed Ky democratic congresses in th- in- ’ tcrest of women workers and c'te the ' imminent positions under government ! to which the democrats have appoint ■ ed women — not failing to place ' emphacis on the action of the San ' Francisco convention in givi it; women ■ equal representation on ti e demo- ' cratic national committee. In that section of the book devoted ' to “Finance” the passage of the fed- ' era! reserve law and the federal farm > loan law are acclaimed as financial 1 legislation that stabilized the coun--1 try’s currem v and abolished panics. The great amount of remedia 1 leg- : islation pas: ed by the democrats in > behalf of farmers is contrasted in the * text hook with the action of the 66th (republican' congress in cutting down ! appropriations intended to benefit agriculture. America's Part in the War. ’ An entire section of the campaign text book is devoted to "The Winning of the War.” Under this general ' heading ttiere are separate chapters ' devoted to what the American Arniv and Navy did in helping to bring the war to a victorious close, and otliei chapters dealing with all the varied 1 phases of national mobilization. The council of national defense and : its more than two score subsidiary bodies occupying large space in the book. The financing of the war is ■ explained in a comprehensive way. i Light is thrown on that much disputed ! question, “Preparadenss" before Amor ’ ion entered the conflict. Readern who may not be interested 1 in party disputes will find in tlve 1920 , democratic text hook a brief but lucid presentation of the American j war effort such as is not to be found I in any other single volume yet written. It gives credit throughout to ‘hose patriotic republicans who shared Hie burdens of the strife and In numerous instances prominent republicans who served in conspicuous places are praised by name. Credit Given Republicans. The names of such prominent republicans as Major Benedict Crowell, assistant secretary of war; Brigadier General Charles G. Dawes, general purchasing agent of the A. E. F. and Brigadier General W. W. Atterburv, director of military railroads in yjo A. E. F., have been woven into the story as proof that not partisanship, but efficiency was the sole standard by which men were measured when the nation wont to war. In contrasting the efficient manner in which the world war was conducted by the democratic administration comparisons are made with the; I Spanish war muddling under repub- 1

Mean administration, and tho wltnem called to prove that muddling is the luto Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, author of "The Rough Riders.” A large section of the hook is devoted to the 66th “Do-Nothing Congress." In parallel columns the democratic campaign text hook sets out tho program of progressive legislation recommended to the 66th (republican) congress by President Wilson and the marked failure of that body to meet the peace time emergency by reducting taxes or taking other stops to iife war time burdens. “Do-Nothing Congress" Tactics. The charge is made repeatedly that the republican loaders in congress refused to lighten the people’s bur dens in a conscious and deliberate partisan effort to irritate tho public and Inflame it against tho democratic administration. One of tlio chapters in the “DoNothing Congress” section cites a lung lift of republican senators and congi Gasmen wh.'-ie efforts to hamstring the administration in the conduct of the war have 11 en rewarded vllh committee chairmanships and ether high party honors. Warren G. Hard ing, republican nominee for president, and Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of the state committee on foreign affairs, head this list. The editor of the democratic campaign text hook is Captain William E. Moore, formerly an editor of daily newspapers in Chicago and New York, and author of a pictorial history of the world war. Captain Moore entered the army in 1917. He served 16 months in France, on General Pershing’s headquarters staff, taking part in the Champagjhe-Marne, Aisne Marne and St. Mihiel campaigns. LAYMEN TO THE RES- . CUE OF THE CHURCH Boston. Mass., Sept. 11. —To the list of laymen who have come to the rescue of the churches, such laymen as John R. Mott and S. Earl Taylor of the Methodists, Robert E. Speer of the Presbyterians, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. of the Baptists and J. H. Beards ley of the Congregationalists, a writer in “The Christian Register’ lias proposed that the name of a Unitarian lie added. He specifies Ernest G. Adams. a Boston business man. The country knows, says the writer, what Mott, Taylor, Speer, Ilockefel- ! ler and Beardsley have done for it through their churches; the country ' lias yet to learn what Adams is going j to do for it through the Unitarian !church. Mr. Adams himself says: ' "We laymen looked around and disj covered that the ministers were pull- ] ing about four times their own ! weight. We decided that it was about i i time they were relieved of some ot their responsibility.” To him religion and patriotism are practically identical, according to his I biographer, who describes his boyhood as follows: “Ernest G. Adams was born in the I Sanwich Islands. His parents were loyal Americans who took ever opportunity to instill into the minds of their children devotion to America. Mr. [ Adams tells how his mother used to take him down to the docks where | the ships were, show him the Stars and Stripes, tell him the story of America and urge him never to forget that lie was an American.
