JOURNAL EDITOR
SAYS DEMOCRATS
PICKED WINNER

On his return to Atlanta saturday
from the San Francisco convention
Major John S. Cohen, president and
editor of The journal, expressed en-
thusiastic approval of the nomina-
ton of Governor Cox and Mr.. Roose-
volt, and spoke in GLOWING terms of
the great west He left Saturday
fishers meeting, but will be back in
the city before the end of this week.
Major Cohen was accompanied by
Mrs. Cohen and their daughter, Miss
Mary. They went by way of Los
Angeles and were met there by En-
the navy, who graduated from An
napolis in 1919. The family were
together in Los Angeles several days
prior to the convention, spent two
weeks together in San Francisco dur
ing the convention, and then Major
went to Banff Springs and other
points of interest in Canada. Mrs.
Cohen and Miss Mary Cohen remain
ed at Banff for two weeks.
Major Cohen travelled a total of
5000 miles and discussed politics
with men of both parties in fifteen
states and the Dominion of Canada
He returned home with feeling of
optimism concerning the Democra tic
prospects of success in the presiden-
tial election.
Convention Embossed
THE convention at San Francisco
was as completely Embossed as any
convention ever held by political
party" said he. THE nomination
of Governor Cox to head the ticket
was logical and advisable from ev-
cry standpoint. He isa a true pro
tor and publisher, student of pub
lie affairs, a splendid governor, and
a remarkably forceful personality.
My opinion is that the country will
think more and more of him as they
hear him and his speeches. He IS
appeals to the imagination of the
American people. His nomination
may be said to have been inevitable
after obligations of courtesy and
Commitment mad been paid by the
delegates 10 other candidates.
rotary Roosevelt for vice president
was a very fine stroke. He has made
a splendid constructive record in the
navy. He is young, robust, mascu-
line in every fiber, and is splendid
ly equipped for his place as running
alone will do a great deal, in my
Judgment, to popularize the ticket,
and he will make good in all partic-
ulars. =
'The Democrats enjoyed at San
Francisco a very wonderful hospital7
ity. Every detail of the convention
was handled with 100 per cent
efficiency Delegates and visitors
were treated everywhere with the ut
most courtesy. Prices were not
raised and there was no effort any
where to gouge the city's guests.
This alone was a magnificent adver-
tisement for the city and it's people,
The San Francisco hotels, such as
the Saint Francs, the Palece, the
Fairmont and others, compare with
the best in Chicago, New. York and
Europe. Their service is the last
word in perfection. To those of US
who were visiting Frisco for the first
time it was no surprise that so many
of our people have gone there and
to other cities in California to live.
1t is a marvellous country. We would
do well in Georgia to copy the Cali
fornia spirit. The famous song, I
Love You, California; is not only a
tuneful melody-it expresses a sort
of civic religion for the California
people. 1 did not see a person in the
ifornia. Although the state is
thousand miles long, distance equal
to the distance from New York City
to Atlanta, there is no sectional
jealousy and no division among the
people.
w Onu6CAduu'
Canada is a wonderland, with her
glaciers, her crystal lakes, her grand
mountain ranges, her marvellous no
tells, her boundless wheat fields, her
splendid people. After one has trav-
eled 5000 miles in the west, enjoy
ing the hospitality of such hotels as
they have in Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Seattle, Banff Springs and
other cities, riding on such magnifi-
cent railroads as the Union Pacific,
the Canadian Pacific and the South
ern Pacific, he realizes that every
American should see his own wonder
full country before he goes abroad
to look for scenic wonders.
1T believe the Democrats with Gov
erncr Cox and Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt have good chance, to
carry California. I believe the tick
ct will grow steadily in the middle
west. I believe we can carry Ohio
with Governor Cox if we can carry
it with anybody. Georgia, have no
doubt, VIII give the ticket another
record breaking majority. 1t is a
matter of profound qualification for
all of us that the nomination is &C
ceptab1e to every element of the
