BIG DEMONSTRATION
FOR cox At DAYTON
Ten Thousand of His Neighbors
Join in Home Coming
Celebration.

DAYTON, Ohio, July 3l.-Yesterday was
a great dav in Dayton, the occasion being
the "home coming" celebration planned
in honor OF Governor James Nj, Cox BY
the people of Dayton and Montgomery
county.
It was remarkable demonstration.
There was a parade through the streets
of DAYTON with fully l0.0O0>in line.
That. however, was not the most inn
portant feature of the demonstration,
which was staged on one Of the hottest
midsummer DAYS that Ohio has expert
enced. The real feature was the gen
uineness which marked the welcome TO
Governor Cox.
The governor was overwhelmed by the
cordiality of the reception extended 10
him by the townsfolk and the others IN
this vicinity who have known him from
boyhood. He had not intended to make
an address but he was so deeply affected
bv the outpouring Of the people that he
expressed his appreciation, He told the
people that he never could be anything
but n great President after the inspiration
which had been supplied by the reception
they had given him.
Governor Cox was IN his element.
After his address from the platform OF
the reviewing stand, he attempted to
walk To his automobile accompanied by
Mrs. Cox. The crowd surged about him
and prevented such an escape. As q
result the governor, literally lifted upon
the shoulders of the crowd, WAS forced
10 seek safety in the county jail. From
the steps of the jail he delivered this
brief address
This is the first time that have been
driven to Jail to escape my friends. !
appreciate your feelings and assure you
that as long rs | live | shall remember
this day and shall attempt to Justify the
confidence YOU have placed in me,
bid YOU good afternoon and invite YOU
10 come to see me IN Washington.
Leaders of the Democracy here, said
the enthusiasm shown means only one
thing that Cox would sweep Ohi0 and
that the spirit would spread TO othefNarts
of the country and assure his election.
II is generally agreed here that the
demonstration was the biggest thing OF
it's kind that has ever taken place IN tins
section Of Ohio. Starting about noon
when white clad women and men, not
few in short sleeves, began 10 make
their appearance in the flag bedecked
streets. it grew rapidly until at half past
two. when the parade started, Main street
and those adjoining il were one swelteT
ing mass Of humanity with the name OF
Cox on every lip.
