cox AND ROOSEVELT
To SEE PRESIDENT
Democratic Nominees Will Call
on Wilson, Sunday, to
Talk Over Plans.

Columbus, Ohio. July l4--Governor
James Nj. Cox, Democratic nominee for
the Presidency, and Franklin ID. Roosc-
welt, his running mate, will discuss the
conduct and issues of the national cam
paign with President Wilson at the
White House on Sunday. The announce
ment was made by Governor Cox after
ne had received a telephone message
from Joseph p. Tumulty, secretary to
the President, informing him that Mr..
Wilson would receive him in Washing
ton at 1890 Sunday forenoon.
IL is believed here that, while most Of
the White House conference will un-
doubtedly be devoted to the country's
foreign relations, which will figure more
largely In the campaign than any other
question, issues related to its domestic
policy will come up for discussion, too,
and that in particular Governor Cox
Will seek advice from the President with
reference to his prospective public utter
ances on reconstruction and problems in
volved IN bringing about better under
standing between employers and workers
as a means OF peace and stability in
American industry. The governor be
teves that the Presidents views and
his own Will coincide very closely on
before the country in the campaign
The governor has known President
Wilson since 1912, when they spoke from
the same platform at several large cam
paign gatherings In Ohio. His last visit
to the White House was in March last
year in the brief period President Will
son spent in this country TO act on lcgis-
latlon passed by Congress while the
peace congress was in progress.
While Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
was here yesterday an agreement on a
tentative campaign plan was reached
between hrm and the governor which un-
doubtedly Will be submitted to the Presi-
dent at the conference on Sunday. The
new Democratic national committee has
already made arrangements for n meet
ing at Dayton, the home of Governor
Cox, next Tuesday for the purpose of
planning the campaign The governor
and, in all likelihood, his running mate
will attend this meeting. and in the
meantime they will have had the benefit
of President Wilson's advice upon many
topics that will come up for discussion
before the committee.
Governor Cox expects full cooperation
from the administration in his cam
paign, and undoubtedly ways and means
by which such aid may be extended
will be one Of the subjects that he will
have discussed with President Wilson
before he meets the Democratic national
committee next week
The governor Will start for Washing
ton ON Friday afternoon. He Will return
To Dayton on Monday for the purpose
of being on hand 10 welcome the Demo
cratic national committeeman, a ma
IorIty of whom will reach the city on
that day.
One important topic that will be dis
cussod when the new national commit
tee meets will be the method of gather
ing and administering the necessary
publicans, the Democrats have had un-
der way for several months an organized
effort to collect money for campaign
purposes, according to all accounts this
effort has not been rs successful as
those who have been actively identified
with it had reason to expect
The disclosures before the tfrited
States Senate committee which invcstl-
gated campaign contributions and ex
pendItures Just before the two national
conventions have not helped matters
While the testimony reflected principally
upon the Republicans and did not in any
considerable measure affect the Demo
cratic party Governor Cox is on the
alert and determined that nothing shall
happen in the course Of his campaign 20
subject either his party or its candi-
dates TO eensure incidentally it is
known that the governor, who feels very
keenly on this subject, is resolved If pos
sible to make the Republicans keep with
in bounds in their collection and ex-
penditure of funds for campaign pur-
poses.
