cox The NOMINEE
The First Act of Nominee Was
To Kiss Wife.

Governor James M. Cox, was
nominated for the presidency by
the Democratic national conven-
tion early Tuesday, he declined
to make a statement regarding
his victory until after he received
notification from the convention.
The Governor received the
news of his nomination in his
newspaper Office, the Dayton
News, surrounded by fellow
newspaper workers and a few
relatives and intimate friends.
When The Associated Press
wires flashed the news of his
nomination, bis first act was to
cross the room and kiss his wife.
He then left The building, walked
a few blocks to the home Of his
closest personal friend, John A.
Mcmahon, aged 81, dean of Day
ton lawyers, to whom he wished
personally TO give the news.
Mrs. Cox was highly elated
over the nomination Of her hus-
band, and Immediately sent a
telegram to her father, Thomas
P. Blair, of Chicago.
Hundreds Of kilograms of con-
graduation were received this
morning for the Governor by the
commercial telegraph companies.
AS the day advanced the tele-
grams became more numerous.
Many of them were from his
workers and delegates at San
Francisco.
Soon after the news Of his
nomination was received, Gov
ernor and Mrs. Cox, who had
remained up all night receiving
returns, left for their home,
Trails End" near Dayton.
Three Times Governor
James Middleton Cox was three
times governor of Ohio an honor
enjoyed by only one otherOhioian,
Rutherford B. Hayes.
Born on a farm, educated in
the public schools, a printers
devil, a school teacher, a news
paper reporter, a private secre-
tary to a congressman, owner, |
manager and proprietor of two
newspapers. member of congress
for three years and three times
governor of his state is his re-
cord to date.
Business success paralleled his
political achievements and
his own efforts Cox has
a fortune. Mr.. Cox
became the leader of the Demo
cratic party in Ohio in 1912
when he was nominated for gov
ernor. AS one who had brought
radical changes in the state con-
stitution, he took the field in its
behalf. His first term as gov
ernor was devoted chiefly to for
warding the enactment of laws
to put the new state constitution
into effect.
But Ohio evidently was not
prepared to assimilate all the
new laws for Cox was defeated
for reelection. But his party
re-nominated him in 1916 and he
WI as reelected for a third term
in 1918, being the only Democrat
to win in Ohio.
Legislation Record
Legislation for which Governor
Cox is best known includes a
model workmen's compensation
law and a child labor law which
have been extensively copied by I
other states. Educators of this
say the Ohio school code,
under Governor Cox's
direction, win live as a monu-
ment to his achievements.
Mr.. Cox was born in Butler
Ohio, in 1870. He at
tended district school and held
his first position as a teacher of
the school in which he
took his first lessons. He spent
