WARM WELCOME
WATTS FOR COX
AT WHITEHOUSE
Nominees Attitude Toward
Administration Policies
Excites Keen Interest.
G. O. P. BREAK FORESEEN

WASHINGTON, July 9.-An enthus-
iastic welcome awaits Democratic Presi-
Dental Nominee Gov. James NJ. Cox,
whenever he sees fit to call at the white
house to confer with President Wilson,
1t was announced today, but 1t will be
left to leaders of the democratic organ
ization to determine the part the presi-
dent shall play in the Cox Roosevelt cam
paign.
Mr.. Wilson, it is asserted, desires to
step aside until called on to aid in the
campaign.
As Gov Cox was selected for the nom
ination without the especial approval or
the president, his attitude toward admin
istration policies is awaited with keen in
terest here.
Several administration leaders who left
San Francisco before balloting was COM
pleted arrived today.
They are enthusiastic apparently over
the ticket but not reconciled entirely to
the defeat of William g. McAdoo.
They all predict the party Will line up
solidly behind the ticket, however.
Secretary Tumulty is one of the most
confident of the administration men.
At the morning conference with the
newspaper men. he continues to add to his
list OF democratic states day by day.
Tumulty believes the Cox-Roosevelt
ticket viii force the republicans into a
more active campaign before many weeks.
He believes Cox will conduct cam
paign along such lines that Senator Hard
ing viii be forced to tour the country.
Democrats declare the harmony in the
republican ranks is not stable and that
there will he break in the open or
under the surface before the election in
November
The whitehOusp is confident OF victory.
Secretary Tumulty has talked with
Gov. Cox over the telephone several times
since the nomination. Il was stated. and
the Ohio governor is In constant touch
with the situation in Washington.
The date on which the conference viii
be held has not yet been fixed, the an
nouncement said.
