Peace With Honor Is Issue Says Cox In Campaign Speech
Governor James M. Cox announced peace with honor as the core goal of his presidential bid and criticized Senator Harding. He set a Columbus July 20 national committee meeting and Dayton’s Trail's End as a notification site. He refused to name a permanent campaign manager, weighing Cummings' fit as speaker over managerial duties. A towel factory project in the old furniture factory near Dayton moves slowly due to a lack of suitable new mill machinery and high prices for secondhand gear. Promoters consult with Belton towel factory president Blair Rice as they consider rushing the plan if deliveries justify it.
