Other Candidates With

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. The last
session of the Democratic convention
was slow in getting started. The dele
gates were tired from their LONG fight
over the Presidential nomination. There
was a disposition also to await word
from Governor Cox before selecting
ms running mate.
At noon Judge Moore, of Youngs-
town, Ohio, convention manager for
Governor Cox, was stll trying to reach
the nominee over the long distance
telephone to learn if he had any choice
for Vice President. Later it was init
mated that Governor Cox would be
glad to leave the selection to the CON
NentioD.
The nomination Of Presidential
candidate wound UP the real business
so far as scores Of de.e~ates End alter
mates were concerned, and the outgo-
ing trains had great part Of the con-
vention force aboard them. Somebody
suggested that the outgoing trains be
polled.

Mrs. Roosevelt said that she had

The little village of Hyde Park, birth
Roosevelt, received quietly but with
citation the news that its favoritc politi-
cal son had been named as running
mate to Governor James NJ. Cox.
Mr.. Roosevelt first came into politi-
cal prominence in 1910. when he was
drafted by the Democrats of the 28th
New York State Senatorial District,
consisting Of the counties Of Duchess.
Putnam and Columbia, in an effort to
defeat Senator John f. Schlosser. Of
Beacon, who was a candidate for re
election. Roosevelt was successful,
rolling up a majority Of 1856 in the
Democratic landslide, which carried
John A. Dix into the Governors chair.
One of the stories still told of Mr.
Roosevcit's first campaign by local pol
iticians is that he corralled the farmer
vote by running on a platform which
advocated uniform apple barrels.
Since Mr.. Roosevelt's appointment to
the Navy Department he has spent
most of his time in Washington, re
turning during the summer months
and on holiday trips 10 visit his moth
or. He has never relirquished his deep
interest in Hyde Park, however, and is
still one of its foremost citizens and
one of the leading parishioners of st.
Iames's Episcopal Church, which the
Roosevelt family has attended for
years He is a frequent visitor in
Poughkcepsic and active in county
Democratic councils.
He is a distant relative Of the Astor
family through his mother.
Mr.. Roosevelt divides his time when
at home between his family, his in
tercst in local affairs, and tennis, for
which he displays his chief sporting
enthusiasm. He is extremely demo-
cratic in manner and is popular
throughout the country.

New York State Ballot
Complicated This Year

Voters in this state this year viii
have harder time marking their bal
lots than ever before. There Will be
three BALLOTS: onc for Presidential
electors. one for state and local candi-
dates and another for proposed amend
ments to the state constitution. John
r. Noorhis, president Of the Board of
Elections, who will have charge of
preparing the ballots in this city, said
yesterday the electors would enter the
polling booths with more paper than
ever before.
The local ballot viii be the most
formidable of all. 1t viii contain all
the candidates for the seven state
offices, those who are aspirants for
the United States Senate. those who
would sit in the two vacancies on the
Court of Appeals bench, candidates for
the Municipal Court. for the two va
cancies in General Sessions, for the
nine vacapcies on the Supreme Court
bench, and the candidates for State
Senator Assemblyman and Congress-
Each group of candidates will be
allotted square, as usual. And the
voter must go through each group and
vote for his choice in Manhattan and
the Bronx he or she may vote for nine
for Supreme Court and when this is
done the Presidential ballot must be
marked, but in this case the work is
easy, as a cross in the circle under
the party emblem does the trick.
On the ballot submitting the pro
posed amendments to the Constitution
the voter must mark A cross in the
square opposite the word YES" or the
word No" which follows the descrip-
ton of each amendment.
