NEW LIFE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CHAIR MAN SOUNDS REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN SLOGANS.
AUGUSTA, Maine, August 21— Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican national committee, today opened his party's campaign in this state for election of members of congress with a speech in which he asserted that Governor Cox was dominated by President Wilson and four unnamed "bosses."

"The democratic candidate appeals to both the Wilson and the anti-Wilson factions of his party," declared Mr. Hays, "To the former he holds forth the president's platform. To the latter he exhibits himself as an advocate of complete change in administration. He offers to the country for foreign use the Wilson government and for domestic service Tammany Hall—truly a marvelous combination of impotence and ill-repute."

Mr. Hays devoted much of his speech to discussing campaign funds, denying vigorously that the republican party planned to expend excessive sums to elect Senator Harding and Governor Coolidge.

Also denying that millions had "gone into the republican treasury" from "certain interests banded together to support the government."  Buy the presidency—a statement which he credited to Governor Cox—Mr. Hays declared that this amounted to a charge of conspiracy to betray the country.
