In referring to America's great re
cord in war, Mr. Cox pointed out
that there is not a line in the Re.
publican platform that "breathes an!
emotion of pride or recites our na-j
tional achievement; in fact, if a man
from Mars were to depend upon the
Republican platform or its spoken
interpretation by the candidate of
that party as his first means of in
terpretation, he would not find a syl
lable telling him that the war had
been won and that America had sav-
ed the world. That is ungenerous!
and ungracious in the extreme.
Mr. Cox points out that the Hard
ing program of a separate peace
with Germany involves "dishonor,
world chaos and decay."
Gov. Cox's ideas about agricul
ture and limiting tenantry will meet
the approval of the sound
est thinkers on problems
that confront , the country. In fact,
his entire speech reveals a sweep and
grasp of public questions that is
gratifying.
Roosevelt's acceptance speech wasj
short and "pitched on a high plane.
. He, bases his hope of thg triuaiph of
'- .the League of Nations and the Demo
? cratic party on a sublime trust in the
'triumph of the right. Many people
think that Coolidge, Republican vice
' presidential nominee, in his : accept,
ance speech went a notch ahead of
Harding; that Cox put it all over
either; and there will not be lacking
.those who will declare that,Roose-
velt made the best acceptance speech
of the year.
However that may be, certain it
is that Cox and Roosevelt invite vot
ers of the country to support candi
dates pledged to a program that ap
peals to t kst m people who are
proud of th's nation's great past and
look to a greater future, in striking
contrast to the program outlined in
the Republican platform and inter
preted by Harding and Coolidge: a
program of hate and selfishness and
narrowness and halting and reaction,
entirely out of keeping with the spir
it that wants to "carry on."

In his messagc t the Legislature
which convened in extraordinary ses
aion Tuesday, Governor Bickett gave
instances of the inequalities and in

valuation of property for taxation
