Presidency
CRv Associated Pressl


Dayton, Ohio, August Hailed az
a candidate in whose selection "neith-
Ell midnight combination nor pluto
cratic cabals were instrumental"
Governor James NJ. Cox was formally
notified today by Senator Robinson.
Of Arkansas, chairman of the notifi-
cation committee, that he had been
chosen by the democratic national
convention as the party's presidential
nominee.
"The convention reached its decis-
ion through the exercise of untram-
melled judgment by the delegates
without inducement or coercion from
political BOSSES" the senator said.
"'The honor and responsibility attend
ing this nomination came to you be-
cause your position respecting cam
paign issues is known to be in har-
mony with the platform adopted and
because the record of your public ser
vice demonstrates rare leadership.
Senator Robinson outlined the pro-
:.
said Governor Cox had secured against
opposition. Of the Ohio budget sys-
TEN, included in the list, he said:
"The measure has proved so salts
factory that the republican nominee
has declared for a similar system of
coordinating national income and ex-
penditWes."
The democratic platform was clear
and unmistakable" in its meaning as
to the League of Nations, the senator
said, while the republican platform on
the subject was beyond the power
of the human mind to analyze OF un-
derstand" and susceptible of various
constructions"
eve believe" he continued, "that
the treaty should be ratified and that
this country should cooperate with
other governments which have enter
ed the League of Nations for the
preservation of world peace.
"The republican nominee has de-
clared for defeat of the treaty and
the rejection of the league. He has
made clear that it is no longer a
controversy about reservations. II *
proposed TO restore peace by act OF
congress instead of by treaty and TO
leave unsettled all the vexed and diff
ficult questions growing out of the
war 1t is proposed to place Germany
on an equal footing with our govern
ment in the negotiations of the
treaty, TO leave her at liberty to re-
ject our just demands and to attempt
to impose upon us unreasonable con-
ditions."
At another point Senator Robinson
said it was reported by the press that
the republican nominees had agreed
in conference "to base their campaign
primarily on the necessity of wrest-
ing the government from what they
term personal control and restoring
party control This implies that
the features of the Chicago platform
are to be subordinated to the false
issue based on prejudice and nrisrep=
resentation that President Wilson
performs the role Of dictator"
Since the presidents trip TO Paris
it had been the policy of the repub-
lican leaders to assault him as an
usurper," the senator declared, adding
that ''this unjust campaign" was cone
tinued in spite "of the fact that for
almost a year and half the presi-
dent has been too i'll to perform, with
out great suffering, the imperative
duties of his office"
at is proposed that the nagging
process carried on in the senate shall
be made the chief manifestation of
the republican nominees of their fit
ness for Office Senator Robinson
said. eff the senate as a body had
performed its duty half as promptly
as the president did his, the world
long ago would have been at peace"
