And Now Records It is our pleasure to announce Brunswick Records for sale, another super-product by the “House of Brunswick’’ —artistic companions of Brunswick Phonographs. They are made under the direction of great interpreters —men who have the power and faculty of developing musical selections as the composers would have them played. Jusf as there are directors for the opera, the stage, the orchestra, Brunswick has directors for records. Thus Brunswick Records, unite the talent of the artist with the genius of the composer. This means that each Brunswick Record is not only the work of some accomplished artist, but Is accompanied by the shadings oi a renowned director. This is why Brunswick Records rise above the qualities most records have in common. Come in—choose the records you want compared. No obligation to buy. A musical treat is in store for you.

PRESS COMMENT ON SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE BY GOV. COX

(Continued from Page One)

Honest Republican friends of the league of nations can no longer doubt. Governor Cox has made a manly deliverance which they can not blink, and addressed to them a tacit appeal which they can not shirk. The ideas and the policies which .he advocates ought to prevail. If they are put before the American people with clearness and force and with the drive of an active and rousing personality such as it is now certain that Governor Cox possesses, we can not doubt that they will prevail.—New York Times. ' I In his speech of Saturday, accepting the Democratic nomination for the presidency, Governor Cox said: “We are in a time that calls for straight thinking, straight talking and straight acting. This is no time for wabbling.” The candidate entirely met these demands, for his speech is a clear and forceful discussion of the issues, and goes straight to the point. It will give the impression, which will be widely shared, that Governor Cox is a more capable man than had been supposed—a man of good intelligence, decision and the courage of his convictions. Most of what he says on the many subjects now uppermost in men’s minds is wise, and also well put. On the question of taxation and expenditures henspeaks clearly, favoring a reduction of burdensome taxation, the substitution of a small production tax for the crippling taxes now imposed, and such economy—which he thinks easily possi-

ble —as will reduce our expenditures to $4,000,000,000, Including the sinking fund and interest. The author of the budget plan in Ohio, what he says on this subject has special signiflicance and weight. As president his influence would be used to introduce this much needed feature in our national finances. His attitude toward the differences between labor and capital is the same as that held by him as governor. His methods have worked well, and have proved him to be a fair man. He recognizes the need for further legislation to define the rights of both labor and capital in collective action. On the very important question of freedom of speech he is entirely sane, and would do away with all wartime restrictions —without, however, giving an inch of ground to the enemies of the government. His program for agriculture is extensive, progressive, and yet in no sense radical. The improvement of marketing methods, the regulation of cold storage, the utilization of the practical experienpe of farmers on government boards in the same way that business men have been called to such boards —such are some of the features of the program. He would do what he could to discourage tenant farming, to stimulate (individual own ership for the purpose of increasing independent * citzenship, to increase the area of tillable land, and to im> prove transportation facilities. | In a thoroughly practical way the

governor discusses the educational needs of the country, and the ways in which to meet them. The women, ' he thinks, have earned the franchise , by their services during the war, and on this subject he speaks with the earnestness of a sincere believer in the cause. He takes rather more credit to bls party for the federal reserve system than it is fairly entitled to, since most of the machinery was taken bodily from the Ald- ‘ rich report However, the Democrats did put the thing through, and can | claim the credit for the regional feai ture, the effect of which has been to distribute the power of the organize, tion. Bankers hold that this has also resulted In a loss of efficiency and an over-expansion of credit. The law has, however, worked well in the main. How our great merchant marine, in which the governor takes proper pride, will stand the test of time and competition, Is yet to be seen. The candidate dissents strong-

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

ly from Senator Harding’s theory that party government should be paramount to Individual responsibility to the people without distinction of party, which he Insists, was not the doctrine of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the forerunners of the two dominating organizations. Governor Cox says: There is, and always will be, a useful place for parties in the conduct of a free government;, but any theory of a “government by party,” which must weaken this solemn sense of personal responsibility, or alter it toward party or faction, merely will accentuate the possible evils of party and thwart its pos sible advantages. But of course the great Issue is the league of nations, and here the speech is clear and easily understood. No one can have any doubt where the Democratic candidate stands. His position has been greatly strengthened by recent primaries in the middle west which were car. rled by the supporters of the league, either with or without reservations. Governor Cox is less^ uncompromising than President Wilson, and is clearly of the opinion that common ground may be found for the two classes of supporters of the league of peace. One can imagine that it he had been in the White House while the treaty was under consideration in the senate the United States would be a member of the league today, and that the frightful confusion and strife that have burst on Europe might have been avoided through the great prestige America would have bought to the league of nations. As it is, the defeated nations and the Russians are led to believe that we are not at heart in sympathy with the purposes of the league, and therefore that there is ample opportunity for tiring Europe out by continuing the disturbed conditions until advantageous concessions may be procured. Governor Cox very naturally takes advantage of the' confusion in the position of the Republican candidate on this subject, as shown by his former votes in favor of the league with reservations, and his. present policy of repudiation and abjurement with Borah and Johnson. How this government would be dishonored by a desertion of our allies —as even Senator Lodge once said —through Senator Harding’s separate peace with Germany; the humiliation to our soldiers who fought side by side with the allies under a common leader, and to the of war workers of all kinds who made 1 such wonderful sacrifices —all this is strikingly put, as is the futility of the present Harding program. Emphasis is placed on the confusion throughout Europe that would necessarily follow the opening up, under the Harding plan, of the settlement of boundaries and other questions. As a result of it all, Governor Cox has rightly reached the conclusion that a verdict at the polls this fall can not but be followed by an agreement between the president and the senate for the ratification of the treaty. He makes It clear that he has no objection to reservations that do not destroy the fundamental principles of the treaty, and that his relation with the senate, if he is elected, can safely be assumed to be one inviting a fair adjustment of differences. One of the best things in the speech is the denunciation of the dastardly effort of many politicians to belittle, and even ignore, the achievements of America in the waimerely to feed fat an enmity towara Woodrow Wilson. The speech closes with a fine appeal to the moral instincts of the voters not to be swayed by temporary inconveniences and annoyances, the results of the war, but rather to be true to those ethical standards which have heretofore distinguished us among all peoples.—lndianapolis News (Rep.).

“I favor going in” is the plain, blunt, direct answer which Governor Cox’s speech of acceptance brings to the question as to his attitude toward the league of nations. It is a satisfactory answer and it helps to shape the leading issue of the presidential campaign. • • • It is plain common sense to say that voters who want the existing league of nations must vote for Governor Cox, and that voters who do not want it or want nothing their grandfathers did not have, must vote for Mr. Harding. It is as clear an issue as the country often gets.—The Springfield Republican. Sincere friends of the league of nations, whether they favor reservations to the covenant or prefer the pact as it stands, now find in Cox the only candidate on whom reliance can be placed for making America a member of the organization dedicated to the task of freeing the world from the curse of war. The governor does not tie himself to the administration In the sense that his opponents hoped he would. He does not antagonize those whose support is essential to success.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
