 In his talk to his newspaper em. plOves Governor Cox said:
 "The greatest gift that the Al. mighty God can give to any man ir public life is to permit him to come into the world under circumstances which enable him to know the life status of the man who works. Pro vidnce was good to me--it was my privilege to come through the ranks know the torment of the boy who is without funds, and I know his anx. iety as to how he will get an educa. tion that will help him achieve his ambitions. If nomination means cleo tion that will take to the white house this best equipment for man ir public experience in the ranks with those who toil."
