JAMES M. COX is UNANIMOUSLY
ELECTED AS DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Is Named for
the Vice-Presidency.

James NJ. Cox, governor of Ohio,
was nominated for president of the
United States in the Democratic
National Convention at lao o'clock
Tuesday morning. The nOmina-
ton came at the conclusion of a.
fOrty-f0ur ballet struggle, in which
he had steadily beaten down the
forces of William G. MCAdOO, former
Secretary of the Treasury and
President Wilson's sOn-in-law.
When the ballOting on the forty
fourth vote had gotten to a point
where Cox had seven hundred and
two votes and was rapidly ap-
preaching the necessary twO-thirds
of seven hundred and twenty-nine,
Sam b. AmidOn. of Kansas, manag-
er of McAdOo forces and vice chair
man of the Democratic National
Convention, took the platform and
moved that the nomination of Gov
ernOr Cox be made unanimous. >-
Immediately there was a roar
from the worn and tired delegates
which lasted for a full four minutes
before Chairman Robinson could
put the question on AmidOn's motion
to suspend the rules and nominate
Cox by acClamatiOn.
At one forty-three o'clock the mo-
tiOn was forally voted over with a
tion was formally voted over with a
ing of brass bands.
State standards which had surg
ed to the front of the hall and to a
place be fore the platform, were
solid in the demonstration.
In the confusion and excitement
of hard sessions of the convention,
almost everybody forgot about a
nomination for the vice-presidency
/ but the leaders who were figuring
on list, soon had names before the
convention, and after a recess until
noon Tuesday. the Convention nom
mated Franklin -. Roosevelt of New
/ York, assistant secretary of the ma
w. for Vice-prCSident.

AdOO and Cox ran neck and neck

COX THREE TINES GOV
ERNOR OF OHIO

James Middleton Cox was three
times Governor of OhiO-an honor
enjoyed by only one other Ohloan,
Rutherford b. Hayes.
Born on the farm. educated in the
public schools, a printers devil, a
school teacher, newspaper report
er, a private secretary to a con-
gresham. owner, manager and pro-
prielOr of two newspapers, mem
ber of Congress for three years,
and three times governor of his
state is his record to date.
Business success paralleled his
political achievements and through
his own efforts Cox has amaSscd a
fortune. Mr.. Cox became the lead
er of the Democratic party in ONO
i'm 1912 when he was nominated for
governor. As one who had brought
radical changes in his state cOnsti-
tuition, he took the field in its be-
half. His first term as governor
was devoted chiefly to forwarding
the enactment of laws to put the
new state constitution into effect.
But Ohio evidently was not pre-
pared TO assimilate all the new laws
for Cox was defeated for re-clcc-
ton. But his party re-nOmlnated
him in 1916 and he was reelected
for a third term in 1918, heing the
only Democrat 10 win in Ohio.
Legislation for which Governor
Cox is best known includes a model
workmpns' compensation law and a
child labor law which have eXten-
sively copied by other states Edu-
{ Gators of the' country say the Ohio
school code. enacted under Cover
nor COx's direction, will live as a
monument to his achievements.
Mr.. Cox was born in Butler county
Ohio, in 1870. He attended district
school and held his first position
as teacher of the school in which
he took his first lessons. He spent
evenings and holidays in a printing
office. In a few years he received

FARMERS MUTUAL
HAIL INSURANCE.

The Union County Farmers Mu-
tual hail Insurance has been making
good progress, since its first organ
lZatiOn of June 3, it has only been
about three weeks in action up 10
the first of July.
During this time 80 members
have enrolled in the Association and
a total of more than $4,000 worth
of crops have been insured.
This progress has been made en-
tirely by investigation and volunta-
ry action on the part of the farm
eFs as no rural meetings have been
held and the association has no paid
agents, either by salary or commits
sion, in the field. Practically all Of
this insurance was written in the
last week Of June.
All farmers connected with the
association are now confident Of
success of the organization and the
farmers should have no hesitation
in insuring in the Farmers Mutual
Hail Company. The parties insur
ed are we'll distributed throughout
the county 50 that complete loss in
any one section would not damage
the association severely. No loss
was sustained up TO July list.
There are no Salaried officers and
no commission is paid for writing
insurance, 50 it is expected that the
farmers interested will call at the
office of the secretary who has his
headquarters at the County Agents
office, and write up their policy.
Farmers at a great distance from
Clayton may write to the secretary
for blank policies and have them
filled out and witnessed before a no
lary and mail them to the secreta-
ry. 1t is necessary for you 10
know the exact description of your
land and give it in full on each pol
icy and to have the policy and
mortgage executed before a nOta-
ry. If YOU are interested in protec-
tion from hail, see or write secre-
tary at once.

RUSSIAN COTTON MILLS MAY NOT
 OPERATE AGAIN

London, Oct. 15.-Russia's great pre-war cotton industry has suffered to such an extent dufing the revolu ton that it is doubtful whether many of the mills ever will be able to oper- ate again, says Sir Charles Macara, an English authority in the worlds cotton trade, in an interview in the Yorkshire Post.
 Based upon information obtained from an Englishman who recently returned from Russia, where for 14 years he was the manager of a large cotton factory near Moscow, Sir Charles estimates that of the g. i 000,00O spindles running in Russia l before the revolution not more than | 100000 or 300 900 are now operat- 1 ing.
 The experiences of the English manager of. the Moscow factory were i told as an example of the methods ! em mployed by revolutionists in dealing
 with one of Russia's great industrial i assets, the textile factories in the i Moscow district. This particular mill i carried on all the processes from cot l ton spinning to the finished product i 17,000 workers having been employ i ed under normal operating condi- 1 tions.
 i When the Bolsheviki assumed pow.
 CT the whole cotton industry was na- tionalized. At every mill committees l were formed and finally, in October l 1919, a degree was issued that all who had been connected with the former 1 owners would have to leave.
