Show A COX - WILSON $ISfPRE- IN DjCTED Washington, Sept. 27. Scenting a bicak between the Wilson and Cox forces' tho Republican Publicity association, as-sociation, through Its president, Hon Jonathan1 Bourne Jr.lBaues the following: fol-lowing: "Rumoro arc .Ire, In Washington that DomocraU' are about to stage a break between President Wilson and Candidate Cox In an eleventh-hour eleventh-hour effort to saxe the democratic candidate from the terrific handicap of Wllsonlsm which. Uko a thorn under un-der tho saddle weights, Is goading Cox to desperation. It Is freely admitted ad-mitted by Democrats that Wilson is Cox's 'old man of tho sea,' and they believe that the political Slnbad of Ohio must rid himself of tho Vii-y Vii-y son Incubus If anything is to be sal-f sal-f ugcd from the wreckago of Democratic Demo-cratic hope. ' 1 jji , Jj ' - "The first hint ot an lntcntlon..to stupefy and slip from under the American Am-erican dictator is found In tho stnto niont made by Senator Gilbert M, . HItchcoock Just before he left Washington Wash-ington for his western campaign tour I' will bo recalled that on .August 10th at tho instltgatlon of Mr. Wll-Don, Wll-Don, Secretary Colby addressed a note to the Italian ambassador to America, Slgnor Avczzana In which ho mado a direct bid for tho vote of the Americanized Poles by a vicious thrust at tho Red government of Rus sla which at tho time was threatening threaten-ing Poland with extinction. This was followed later by Mr. Colby's suggestion to a large Polish delegation delega-tion to vote the Democratic ttlcket, provided they wanted tho United Statc3 to go the limit In helping Poland which he Intimated could only on-ly bo assured through a Democratic victory. Mr. Colby In his noto declared de-clared 'It Is not possible "for tho I government of tho United States to I recognize tho present rulers ot Rua-I Rua-I sla as a government with which tho I relations common to friendly govern-I govern-I menta can be maintained,' and he -"k charged tho existing Russian regime with having Tlolated eTery principle I of honor ud good faith and every. I usage'and convention underlying the ' j whole structure of International law. A "Mr. HItchcoock, In hU statement Jm advocated the recognition of soviet W,, Russia by tho United States thereby indorsing the stand which Mr. Wll-I Wll-I on formerly took whllo In Paris. i -Tho Soviets havo been In control I for threo years,' Bald Mr. Hitchcock. 'Of courao the classes turned out of power will call tho administration bad. But Just how a majority of the Russian people will ulllmately regard re-gard it can only bo determined after a fair trial. At present they seem isatlBflled.' And then be concluded: " 'The peoplo want nono ot tho Ideola promulgated by President Wilson. Not bo long ago th prail-dont prail-dont was called a superman. Today ho Is tho most heartily disliked man In America.' "Mr. Hitchcock was tho rubbor stamp agent of Mr. Wilson in tho sen I ate and ho led tho fight for tho ac-Cv, ac-Cv, ccptanco or tho British Wilson lcaguo JBp; tovonant without change. His lull lu-ll dtchuent of Mr. Wilson has confounded con-founded tho White Houso court, and It taken to mean that Hitchcock has Bcparatcd from Wilson. Now Mr. Cox has found that his promlso to con-tlnuo con-tlnuo Mr. Wllson'o policies havo ruined his presidential chances. On tho heels ot tho Hltchcok indictment comes tho news that Mr. Cox is noon to hold a conference with Mr. Wilson. Wil-son. A fow days ago it was announced an-nounced that tho president would bo called upon to participate In the cam palgn. It is known of all Washlng-tonlans Washlng-tonlans that ho Is in no physical con dltlon for tho task. Tho idea prevails pre-vails that Cox will therefore demand that ho bo released from all com mltmcnts to Wilson and suffered to conduct this campaign as ho sees fit. Thus tho breach will bo complete com-plete Quito elated Mr. Cox has an nounced that ho would couutenanco lcaguo reservations and ho has exhibited ex-hibited all tho arts of the 'trimmer' during tho campaign. His change on tho league Is believed to bo a forerunner of his repudiation of Wilson but It will come to late to chang'o public opinion already crystalled crys-talled against him." |
