COX
By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE.


San Francisco. Cal. July 5.-The
long deadlock of the Democratic
convention between McAdoo and Cox
was hinged upon a genuinely sin
cere desire for Democratic victory
on both sides, and the belief in the
possibility of victory by two op-
posing schools of politics. These
two typical schools are found in
every organization in the world.
Cox represented the belief in a
mathematically demonstrable vic
tory. McAdoo represented the be-
lief in a righteous victory. Cox ap-
pealed to the materialists, McAdoo
to the idealists.
Said the supporters of Cox:
