cox AND ROOSEVELT

The Democratic convention at San Francisco have
done WELL 1t took "A ballots to bring them clear vision
they made the nomination of James
deton Cox by acciamation The nomination of Franklin
d. Roosevelt without any protest
Nothing is quite clearly proven that the con-
independent its Bryan, heretofore
invincible controlling policy decisively beaten
his dry plank His futile protest against Cox based
his assertion that Cox wet another dis
tnct defeat The administration desperately fighting for
unequivocal endorsement of the League of Nations
told firmly that the delegates regarded reasonable
reservations important in fact squaey endorsing
the action of the senate and house democrats who voted
for the Lodge reservations.
We felt from the start that Mr.. McAdoo was the
strongest who could have been
he would have been admirable candidate but it
that he personally did for the job and very
dent that he thoroughly approves of Governor Cox
The unspeakable Palmer completely beaten as
doubt that the shameless Georgia
delegation in his favor was his disadvantage rather
than benefit 1t will not be long when the country
will be relieved of Palmer permanently Palmer and
Burleson have been the expensive nduged
in by this administration and while confident that
Gov Cox will be President it will be In spite
and not beosuss of what the existing administration has
done.
By the action of the Democratic convention Ohio is
right in the democratic column Mr. Cox has beaten
Senator Harding twice in that state have
slightest doubt he do it again
Governor Cox stands square before the people on
every question vexing them and is evel-headed-
great big American He is not the tool of wealth. he
not militarst he is a prohibition fanatic though
he has impartialy enforced the prohibition law Ohio
In fact he is just the to take charge of the country
time when foolish fads and gttering theories
been usurping the rghtfu functions of government.
Again say, The Democratic Convention has done
we'll
Yakima valley (Wash) farmers passed a resolution
the other day urging the government the profits
the grain corporation to reimburse farmers
bankrupted by The fixed wheat prices. But to
recollect that the profits have been spent furnishing
-four to the Poles who trying to make Poland
include Russia Sympathy bird that frequently lights
a long way from home
Editor Hopkins who the Nucla Independent, one
of the best country sheets that this Office has
just suffered very fire loss by of the Nu
cla Cheese factory burning MIR. Hopkins owned the
jorty of the stock and only half carried
he loses heavily just the factory doing splendid
work and bidding fair to become fine venture The
other editors Of the slope will sympathze with him
his loss and sincerely hope he reestabsh the bust
which real boon to that community.
1t appears that the San Francisco convention
lated Horace Hawkins with the Senatorial bug. He is
said to be receptive candidate least and possibly
ready to do pulling for the nomination Most pro
gressve democrats will hope he succeeds in landing
Tuly SCOTS candidacy has not prospered and every
he declined to debate the League of Nations with Schuyler
there have been democrats who felt that
should be placed the ticket Hawkins never
Hawkins.
