SCORES HARDIHG'S STAND
Senator Robinson, Arkansas, Delivers
Nomination to Gov. Cox.

Dayton, O.-Hailed as a candidate In
whose selection neither midnight
combinations nor p.utocratic cabals
were instrumental" Gov. James M. Cox
was formally notified by Senator Rob
inson Of Arkansas, chairman of the no.
tification committee, that he had been
chosen by the democratic national
convention as the party's presidential
nominee.
The convention reached its decision
through the exercise of untrammeled
judgment by the delegates without in
ducement or coercion from political
bosses" the senator said. '1he honor
and responsibility attending this nom
nation came to you because your po-
sition respecting campaign issues is
known TO be in harmony with the
platform adopted and because the
record of your public service demon
stratcs rare leadership"
The democratic platform was clear
and uImistakable" in its meaning as
TO the league of nations, the senator
said, while the republican platform on
he subject was beyond the power
Of the human mind to analyze or un-
derstand" and susceptible OF various
constructions.
I'VE believe" he continued, that
the treaty should be ratified and that
this country should cooperate with
other governments which have en-
sered the league of nations for the
preservation of world peace.
'The republican nominee has de-
clared for defeat of the treaty and
the rejection of the league. He has
made clear that it is no longer a con-
troversy about reservations. Ii is pro-
posed to restore peace by act of con-
gress instead of by treaty and to
leave unsettled all the vexed and diff
ficult questions growing out of the
war"

pany, through which he has declared
he will establish a chain of banks and
