 Dayton, Ohio, July 7.-If the legislature of Louisiana acts in accord with the opinion of Cover nor James M. Cox, the democratic nominee for president, women will be enfranchised to vote at the November I election and the democratic party may get the credit for making uni versal suffrage fact.
 In telegram to Frank J. Looney Chairman of the Louisiana state cen tral committee, Governor Cox ex- pressed it as his opinion that the Louisiana legislature owes it as a duty to the democratic party to rati- fly at once. MT. Looney had wired the Governor asking him to express his views to the legislature on rati- fication of the amendment.
 In his official capacity as governor of Ohio, the democratic candidate has repeatedly placed himself on rec ord in favor of women suffrage. He has signed bills intended to enfran- chise this state and in 3. special mes sage to the legislature transmitting the federal amendment for ratifica- tion, he urged favorable action.
 It was stated today by those in close touch with the democratic pres idential candidate that he contem- plated conducting his campaign chief ly from Columbus, where he will ne- cessarily have to be much of the time in connection with his duties as governor. His Dayton friends however, anticipated that his home city will be one of the principal nerve centers in the campaign and that no small part of his campaign work will be conducted from his newspaper of flee. It has been the practice of the governor to come home each Friday from Columbus and speEd the week end with his family at Trails End and at his newspaper office.
 No political conferences of import ance are expected until the party leaders return from San Francisco. The visit of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the vice presidential nominee, which is expected Saturday is not antici- pated to develop into anything more than an exchange of felicitations.
 MT. Roosevelt will stop here on his way home from the convention. The governor spent most of today at his newspaper office, receiving callers and reading messages of congratula- tions which have poured into his off, flee in a constant stream. Among them were fclicitations from all the contenders for the honor that came to the Ohio governor from Vice Pres ident and Mrs. Marshall cabinet mem bers governors. political leaders of both parties, representatives of la bor, business men and personal friends.
 Own Home He Says.
 One message from Franklin Lane, former secretary of the interior, said:
 q sincerely congratulate you and the country. Do give us campaign that is constructive, that will chal- lenge the interest and support of the new voters. The people want to hear a definite word as to home affairs as we'll as foreign"

 "There is an erroneous impression that golf is rich mans game. It is not. A set of clubs don't cost much," he said. He declared it en- outdoor life and particu- larly country living.
 eff have one public hobtH that is more outstanding than any other, it has been the preachment of more homes. You can preach patriotism to man and appeal to his sense of duty, but you can't make the sort of appeal to him that he gains from his own refluections after he owns a home.
 "He buys a lot, and. quite often, borrows money to build home; his hopes are centered in the enterprise, and he works for it and it becomes his own particular interest in his
