San Francisco, July 6.-Franklin D.
Roosevelt of New York assistant sec
retary of the navy, was nominated for
Vice President today by the Demo
cratic national convention and became
the running mate of Governor James
vi. Cox of Ohio, Democratic choice for
the Presidential nomination.
Despite the disinclination of Tam
many to his nomination he went over
by acclamation without ballot.
Nomination Of w. It. Vaugha, of
Orego, who had received State pri-
mary endorsement was changed into a
second for the successful nominee.
cambridge Colby, secretary of state
who was endorsed as candidate and
refused to allow his name to be used.
finally was urged to consent if he
should be "draftcd" AS it turned out
the Tammany crowd decided to accept
Roosevelt, who brought to the ticket
the participation Of an administration
man, and Mr.. Colby's name was not
considered further.
Never Any Doubt.
Mr. Roosevelt was placed in nomina
ton by Timothy l.. Ansderry, a former
Representative from Ohio, who sat as
Cox delegate in the District of Co.
lumbia delegation. Seconds spranp
from all parts of the convention hall,
and although Roosevelt was not form
ally nominated until we'll after the
business of nomination was taken up,
there was never any doubt about it
and never at any time was there any
opposition. The secondlng of his nom-
lnation by Governor Smith of New
York, from the Tammany DELEGATION
clinched it.
Senator Robinson, OF Arkansas.

was appointed chairman of the COM
mittee to notify Governor Cox of his
nomination and Chairman Homer S.
Cum mings, of the Democratic commit

committee to notify Mr.. Roosevelt.
After its tumultuous session of for
ty-four ballots the convention reas-
sembled at noon to finish its work.
There was at first a delay utilized by
the Cox managers to hear from the
governor about his wishes on the Vice
Presidential nomination, f. II. Moore.
OF Youngstown, Ohio, who managed
the governors fight, let it be known
that Cox was willing to leave the Sc
lection Of his running mate to the
convention. With that the forces cas-

Roosevelt's nomination applauded an
appreciation of him by his chief, Sec
rotary Josephus Daniels.
Extends Thanks to City.
During the closing moments of the
convention the usual formal rcsolu-
tions affecting the national committee
and the convention organization were
adopted with res ,lution expressing
the thanks an dappreciation of the
convention to the city of San Fran
cisco.
Chairman Homer S. CUMMINGS. Of
the Democratic, national committee
said:
"The convention reached it's results
in true Democratic style. The forces,
purposes and opinions represented bv
the delegations had full play and
reached an uncontrolled result. It was
a long, hard contest, but it leaves no
scars and the candidates will have the
united support Of the party.
San Francisco redeemed every pro-
mise that was made in her behalf and
IN many respect far exceeded our cx-
fectations. There was some who doubt
