COX AGAIN ASSAILS 1 EN ROUTE WITH GOV. COX. SIOUX CITY, IA.. Sept. 2S Gov. James M. Cox campaigning here and throughout South Dakota today, asserted that the senatorial oligarchy must assume responsibility for reductions in wages that may come in the near future. Any decreaseel wages er any slump in farm prices can be traced to failure of the U. S. to assist in re-establishing normal business eemditions throughout the world, ho said, adding that this in turn is attributed to blocking off ratification of the. treaty by the senate. Big business, Cox charged, is planning to tnkc advantage: of those circumstances to prevent any decreases in price consumers must pay until it is forced ! to do so. Cox today is dcfmtti ly on reern d aK opposed to elimination of Article X from the league of nations e-ovenint. w hich was characterized by President Wilson as ' the heart of the treaty." In response to an inquiry the governor reiterated his belief that this feature of the covenant was simply the application of Hie Monroe doctrine ft) the entire world.
