JOHNSON OFFERS COX.

San Francisco, July /.
The democracy Of Ohio, the home State
o. the Republican Presidential nominee,
urged the national convention today TO
select Governor James NJ Cox as the
Democratic candidate for President.
With Cox as your candidate, Ohio
Is Democratic, and with OHIO Demo
cratic, victory n yours, declared Judge
James g. johnson, OF Springfield, Ohio,
IN formally presenting Governor Cox s
name.
As we enter the great contest now
impending, our opponents fan every
flame Of discomfort. They pool every
dlscordant element, in order to carry the
election. Unmindful and regardless Of
the effect on the welfare of the republic,
and on the orderly processes Of society,
they arouse bitter prejudice and set in
motion forces which 1t IS easy TO see may
become absolutely uncontrollable They
DO not hesitate to cast a cloud on the
glory won for our country by the millions
oi our boys who grandly carried the flag
70 the battlefelds Of Europe and with
unconquerable spirit placed II at the very
front oi the columns Of civilization.
The American people must now de-
eide whether that proud position which
our soldiers and our people won shall be
abandoned or whether we shall show our
selves worthy Of the Inheritance we have
enjoyed.
The Democratic party needs a candi-
date who holds IN his heart the memory
OF the glorious record Of the incompatible
American boy and who looks forward
with courage and capacity TO grasp the
opportunities and TO meet the difficulties
and dangers yet TO come. He must know
the beginnings and the reasons for the
republic. lie must know its spirit: and
the spirit OF the wise men who founded
u. lie must know that Americanization
~ not an idle ceremony, that it is not q
thing to be gained IN a day, or a year,
but that IL Is the result of the slow
processes Of education and of the infu-
ence Oi association and contact with
those who have enjoyed and appreciate
what enlightened liberty is He must
know that America cannot hold herself
away from the rest Of the world, that
science and invention and genius have
removed all barriers on land and sea and
have brought together all the races
whether they viii or not.
The gteat State, of which ! have
spoken, presents a man who has these
qualities In full and rounded measure.
His strength Is not the passing fancy of a
mere lucky turn on the political board.

slowly fixed in the judgment OF the people

WEST VIRGINIA PRESENTS DAVIS

San Francisco, July /.
John W. Davis, of West Virginia
Ambassador to England, was placed IN
nomination by Governor Cornwell of
that State as the strongest candidate
being considered for the Presidential
nomination.
Purely personal and political consider
atoms must not control the selection of
candidate here" the governor said !.
at is true the Republican nomination
turned back the political clock quarter
of a century; that it recalled the days of
Mark Hanna; that reaction is written in
large letters across its political horizon.
The Chicago comedy where candidates
were permitted to wear each other out
and incidentally to weary the delegates
into state of political stupefcation pend
ing the final word from the bosses, would
have been amusing had it not been pathetic
and of serious moment to the country.
But notwithstanding all the stage
play and the camouhage, a respectable
ticket was presented, though presented
hind part foremost. That fact We must
bear In mind.
''We must further bear in mind that
q war could not be fought with four and
half million men under arms and an
expenditure OF twenty-five billions OF
dollars, money raised partly by onerous
tax burdens, without irritating many
persons. The public unfortunately is
prone to listen TO criticism in preference
10 explanations and encumiums. Foi
the highest position in all the world we
should nominate one OF the very biggest
and brainiest men in all the country
ITO nominate a man in an effort to
corral the dissatisfied and disappointed
elements of the opposition that were
politely and tenderly kicked out of the
Republican committee. nominating him
at the sacrifice OF democratic principles
and of real leadership, would be disastrous
and rcprehensible
''To deprive 10 win, the party must
offer to the American voters a candidate
clean, able, possessed OF common sense,
and free from factionalism or unnecessary
antagonism. To prostitute itself by
selling nomination for supposed power
ful influences or for the promise of votes
from those who seek class recognition
would be Infamous.
Our candidate should stand in the
middle of the great highway Of political
thought. He should know our laws and he
should have the courage to enforce them.
Such a man West Virginia offers this
convention IN the person of theAmbasador
st London, the Hon. John ". Davis.

Tutnulty Sees Cheaper Sugar.

President Wilson has signed the McNary
bill continuing the United States Sugar
Equalization Board through 1920. Secre-
tary Tumulty in making the announce
ment issued this statement
THE President has signed the Sugar
Control bill. The bill confers discretion on
the President in the matter Of purchasing
sugar from Cuba. II is doubtful whether
1t will be practicable or wise for the Presi-
dent to exercise the power conferred, so
far as the purchase and distribution of
sugar are concerned.
Some Of the Cuban sugar has been
purchased, and there is no central control
over the commodity in Cuba as there was
last year. and il might. therefore, be i'm
possible for the Government now to step
IN and purchase the sugar without increas-
ing the price to the consumer. The bill
however, continues the licensing power
also and this power may be used to assist
In controlling the profteering among dis
tributors. Much Cuban sugar is coming in
now, and the indications are that prices
have reached their peak, and that there
viii be a tendency for prices to fall in the
next few weeks"
