OLDEST WHITE MAN
 IN ARIZONA DIES
(From Sundays Daily)

Death stepped into the Pioneer Home yesterday afternoon and took from it within a quarter of an hour two of the oldest inhabitants, one oi them, Thomas J. Foster, said to be the oldest white man in the state oi Arizona.
 Mir Foster, who remained fully conscious despite his years, died al 6:16 p. m. He was 98 years, ? months and 8 days old.
 Louis Dugas, whose passing occur red after several hours of uncon- sciouSness, died at 6:35 p. nl., aged 79 years and 10 months.
 They Were True Pioneers
 Both the decedents were truly pio- necrs of Arizona. Foster drove a team in these parts as early as 1864 In 1869 there is a record of his hay ing worked at old Fort Whipple in a civilian capacity. Although his life was passed in various parts of the state and he was widely known, he was admitted from Maricopa county and best known in Yavapai county, Half all hour before he passed over the Great Divide, he recognized Su- pcrintendcut George Shea at his bed side and asked him how he was.
 Dugas was also admitted from Maricopa county. He had lived in Prescott in the carly days, however, and r years ago was a member of the Aztlan Lodge No. 1, Free and Accepted Masons, in this city He was visited last week by a son, Fred, who lives beyond Mayer, and is quite well known in the county. Mr. DugaS had been i'll for d number of days and the last few hours he lived, he was unconscious.
 Funerals will probably be held to- gcther, or at least on the same day. The date will be announced later.

ton for president. Throughout the
balloting Governor Cox and William
G.. McAdoo were the leaders, with
Attorney General Palmer running
third. but considerably behind the
others. Mr.. McAdoo all along main
tanned that he was in no sense a can
didate and when told of the result ex
pressed his satisfaction that he had
not been the choice of the conven-
ton 49,.
The big fight of the convention was
over the wet and dry planlss, neither
side prevailing, there being no ref
erence whatever to the subject in the
platform as adopted.
William J. Bryan was the leading
'proponent of a dry plank and fought
valiantly. and with his old time wea-
pom OF oratory, but all. to no avail.
torsonce in his life since 1896, when
he%captured the Democratic conven-
ton with his "cross of goid" spssch,.
Mr.. Bryan found himself in a small
minority in the party gathering and
he was showed under completely.
W. Bourke Cochran Of New York,
one of the nations most gifted ora
tors, championed the wei platform,
and he, received little less considera
tion than Mr.. Bryan.
The real platform fight was in the
resolutions committee, the conven-
tion itself adopting the plat
form as reported. though. the .liauor
question, the league OF nations and
the Irish question were fought out
on the floor

the Democratic party in Ohio in
1912 when he was nominated for
governor. AS one who had brought
radical changes in the state constitu-
tion. he took the field in it's behalf.
His first term as governor was de-
voted chiefly to forwarding the en-
actmcnt of laws to put the new state
constitution ino effect.
But Ohio evidently was not pre-
pared to assimilate all the new laws
for Cox was defeated for reelection.
But his party renominated him in
1916 and he was reelected for a third
term in 1918, being the only Demo
crat to win in Ohio.
Legislation for which Governor
Cox is best known includes a model
workmen's compensation law and n
child labor law which have been ex-
tensivcly copied by other states.
Educators of the country say the Ohio
