COX NOTIFIED
 BY ROBINSON
 OF SELECTION
By Herbert Walker.

| (United Press Staff Correspondent. Dayton, O., Aug. With forma acceptance of the Democratic presi.
 dential nomination by Gov. James M
 Cox at Dayton today, his party sent
 forth its challenge of battle to the
 Republicans. By his acceptance, Gov
 ernor Cox replaces President Wilson as the party leader, and his first act will be to inaugurate a militant stump campaign which will carry the ban her of Democracy into every commu- nifty and into every section.
 Notification ceremonies today were witnessed by about 25,00O spectators, while 10000 marched in the parade this afternoon. Scores of bands marched in line. The parade started from Dayton at ? o'clock, and at 2:30, Governor Cox commenced the delivery of his speech.
 Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkan- sas as permanent chairman of the San Francisco convention, delivered the mo- tiication address. He hailed Govern or Cox as the choice of the convention and the rank and file of the Demo- cratic party as well. Independent voters also approve the choice, Sena- to Robinson said. A part of Senator Robinson's address was devoted to praise of Governor Cox's accomplish ments as chief executive of Ohio, achievements which eminently fit the nominee to occupy the presidential chair. His harmony with the plat form and aims of the party also rec ommend him to the Democratic hosts, Senator Robinson said.
 A caustic attack was directed at the Republican senate for it's "nagging" of the president despite his physical collapse. "Is it proposed that the nagging process shall be made the chief manifestation by the Republican nominees of their fitness for office ?" Senator Robinson asked.
 Concluding, Senator Robinson said: "Convinced that your record, your opinions and purposes qualify you pre- eminently for the service, the Demo- cratic party has nominated you for president of the United States, It is not expected that you will conduct a front porch campaign. It is not be- lieved you will wait for the American peopel to come to you to hear your but that you twill cheerful ly carry it to them, confident of their of the cause you represent" :"

Punch was served all of them, as well as the big number of Conway people who stayed for the entire program. Automobiles lined the street while ther occupants watched the club members at play.
 Another high point in the rally was the moving picture show given by Newborn Brothers at the Ideal theatre yesterday afternoon, and which all of the club members attended. Leaving the theatre, they lined up for a pho tograph and then went on the auto mobile ride given them by Conway citizens. Many cars sent in response to the call of the woman's auxiliary went away without passengers, as the response was more than mple.

 Line".
(From the Arkansas Gazette,
 May 8, 1917O

May 3, 1917)
 The Arkansas Medical Society. which met yesterday morning in the house chamber of the old statehouse, adopted a message to United States Senator William F. Kirby condemn ing his course in opposing the admin lstratlon measures concerning the war preparations, in which the senator was requested to "get in line" or resign and make room for someone who would. A committee was appointed by the house of delegates at the morn- ing session to draft a resolution. The committee, consisting of Drs. II. H. Rightor of Helena, T. J. Clegg of Siloam Springs and Earl Ii. Hunt of Clarksville, reported in the form of a message to Senator Kirby, at the general session held in the after noon. The report was adopted and the message was wired to the senator at Washington. The message follows:
 The Message to Kirby.
 "Whereas, It has come to the knowedge of the Arkansas Medical Society that certain senators and rep resentatives in congress assembled are grossly misrepresenting their con- stituency;
 "Therefore, be it resolved, That the Arkansas Medical Society in ses- sion at Little Rock May l, 1917, does strenuously disapprove of the con duet of Senator W. F. Kirby at this time of national stress, and we urge him to get in line, support the policy of our government, represent the wishes of his constituents, or resign that we may send one who will.

Bet On Cox? Most
Certainly Not Bets
on States Are Made

Any one betting on Cox? If there
is Cox admirer who has sufficient
faith in the success Of the democratic
party this fall he has not appeared
in places where men who lay wagers
congregate. Apparently Cox carries
no appeal to the man who bets.
AS gambling proposition. how
ever. the election has Its appeal and
wagers are being made. So far as
in known no big money bets have
been made but here and there are
small wagers on the result In certain
states or the outcome In cities. More
attention seems to be given to the
gubernatorial and senatorial contests
and to county offices. And this in
dicates the prevailing public senti-
ment-when a man bets on state and
county offices in this republican
state and county, in preference to a
wager on the national outcome, it is
indicative of general opinion that
the result of the national election
Is foregone conclusion.
A freak bet was made Thursday.
when local business man wagered
friend that Cox would not carry his
own county. The bet was of $40 and
the money went into the hands of a
friend to carry until the election re-
turns are in,
The most common bet is on states
considered doubtful by the gamblers.
"A few bets have been made on the
result In Ohio and one Is known to

suit. Odds have been offered that
Illinois would so republican but there
were no takers.

WOMEN ELECTORS

FIRST DAYS REGISTRATION IN

NEW VOTERS MOTT AFRAID
TO TELL THEIR TRUE AGES
Few Listed as "21 Plus" in Ono Pre-

Prognosticators who have asserted

administration Of government for the
United States and would not eXer-
else the right Of franchise If con-
ferred knew little Of what is the mind
of woman today. That the women are
interested and will vote Is positively
indicated by the result of the first
days registration.
Predictions were made by some
that not more than 500 women would
register. More than that number
registered in the five various wards
of the city Thursday, the first day Of
registration, and there are still three
days in which, to register.
The heaviest registration was in
the Second ward. with the Third
close second. Registration in the
early hours of the day was light but
after noon the new voters began to
come in numbers and during the
middle Of the afternoon there was a
steady stream Of women in and out
Of the registration places.
Give Their Ages? Yes.
+ It has been said that no one can
understand woman and there is no
reason to doubt the wisdom of the
cid saying. Under ordinary circum-
stances the average woman will go
to extremes to avoid giving her age
and it was expected she would refuse
to tell the number of her years when
called on to do so by the clerks OF
registration. Asked If the new voters
were objecting to giving their ages.

OF all New York productions,
'Frivolities of 1920" will inaugurate
an engagement Of one performance at
the Odeon Saturday night. It is the
first Of what it's producer, G. M. An
derson, alias "Broncho Billy" one

will be a series of annual entertain

and for sundry others who are not
so weary, and for the illumination of
the leading theaters Of the larger
cities.
"Frivolities' concerns itself with
making satrical and comic faces at
some Of the enduring political, social
and amusement institutions, with
multiplying costly fabrics on comely
figures until the stage is ablaze with
vivid dyes, with a musical score that
,arouses sympathetic rhythm in the
toes and shoulders Of its auditors,
with a corps of comics that tickle the
collective ribs Of their audience with
their quips and wiles and jibes, with
color spla4shed scenic effects that are

an array Of girls that might well
have walked off the front covers OF
fthe popular fiction magazines into
the front line Of the ensemble

Deaths in Marshall
County in 1919 Total
456; Births We're SIS

According to a table of vital sta
tistics issued by the state board~ OF
health for 1919 there were 456 deaths
in Marshall county in the year and
555 births.
The same table shows that the
deaths in 1918 in the county We're
SIC, or 12O more than in 1919. This
increase was due, no doubt, to the
first severe epidemic of influenza
that swept the county late in 1918
and caused more than two score
deaths in this city alone.
The births in the county, accord
ing to the table. were 693 in 1918. or
13S more than in 1919. The law, which
made possible the compilation of this
report, makes it compulsory that all
births, deaths, marriages and divor-
ces be reported to the clerk of courts.
Penalties are. provided for violations.

On advice Of attorneys a clerk in
one ward at least permitted the voter
to answer '21 plus" when asked how
many years the voter had been in the
precinct, county or state. where the
voter had actually resided there a
greater length of time. 1t might have
served the purpose as well had the
voter answered that she had lived
here "the required number Of years,
plus" On one page of the registra-
ton book almost all answers We're of
the plus variety.
In another precinct, where the vote
is not so heavy, fully IS per cent Of
the women had given their ages
correctly. it is to be assumed. Most
of the women seemed to have ia
miliarized themselves with the for
malities necessary to get their names
on the poll books and were ready
with answers to all questions.
Married Women Predominant.
The registration Thursday was al
most entirely confined to married
women, few unmarried women vot-
ers appearing to enroll their names.
This was explained by most of the
registration Of the day being in the
afternoon when the housewives went
to the registration places. The single
women, most of whom are employed
must register at the lunch hour, IN
the morning, or after work. 1t must
not be construed as meaning that
only the married women are inter-
ested in voting.
A mere man ventured the sugSes-
ton that only married women We're
going to vote and they were going to
the polls to kill their husbands ball
lots. This seemed plausible only to
the spokesman.
Older Women in Majority.
A peculiar thing about the early
registration, which is not so easily
explained, Is the fact that a majority
of those registering were women over
40 years Of age, Few young married
women registered the opening day.
First day results, however, must not
be taken 3s Indicative Of the atti-
1tude of the young married women.
The final days returns must be
awaited before any charge is made
that the younger women are not in
terested in political affairs. 1t Is
reasonable to assume. tho, that
mothers have a more lively interest
in affairs Of state than do the wom-
en- without families.
From the standpoint of the suf-
fragNt it must be admitted the first
days result was a success. Nor were
the registrants from one class, color.
creed or political faith. Representa-
tives of all were in evidence.
