HIS NOMINATION NOT DICTATED

Convention Chairman, Formally Notifying Candi

DAYTON, o., Aug. 7.-Hailed as
a candidate in whose selection mel
Their midnight combinations nor plu-
tocratic cabals were instrumental
Governor James NJ. Cox was formally
notified today by Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, chairman of the notlt-
cation committee, that he had been
chosen by the Democratic National
convention as the party's presidential
nominee.
1.-The convention reached its decis-
ion through the exercise of untram-
melled judgment by the delegates
without inducement or coercion from
political bosses" the senator said.
"The honor and responsibility at
tending this nomination game to you
because your position respecting cam
paign issues is known to be in har-
mony with the platform adopted and
because the record of your public ser
vice demonstrates rare leadership"
Senator Robinson outlined the pro-
gressive legislative measures in Ohio
which he said Governor Cox had Sc
cured against opposition. Of the Ohio
budget system, included in the list,
he said:

"The measure has proved so salts
factory that the Republican nominee
has declared for a similar system of
co-ordinating national income and
expenditures"
The Democratic platform was
''clear and unmistakable" in its mean
ing as to the League of Nations, the
senator said, while the Republican
platform on the subject was beyond
the power of the human mind to
analyze or understand" and suscepti'
BILE of various constructions.
1--WE believe" he continued, "that
the treaty should be ratified and that
this country should cooperate with
other governments which have enter
ed the League of Nations for the pre-
servation of world peace.
THE Republican nominee has de.
clared for defeat of the treaty anc
the rejection of the League. He has
made clear that it is no longer con,
troversy about reservations. 1t Is
proposed to restore peace by act OF
Congress instead of by treaty and
to leave unsettled all the vexed and

war. 1t is proposed to place Ger
many on an equal footing with our
government in the negotiation of the
treaty, to leave her at liberty to re-
ject our just demands and to attempt
to impose upon US unreasonable con-
ditions." FlSa
At another point Senator Robinson
said it was reported by the press that
the Republican nominees had agreed
in conference ito base their campaign
primarily on the necessity of wrest-
ing the government from what they
term personal control and restoring
party control This implies that
other features of the Chicago plat
form are to be subordinated to the
false issue based on prejudice and

put of Canada and the United States
this year only per cent more than
in 1919.
This falls far short of supplying
the increasing demand. The demand
normally increases 5 per cent a year.
In 1919 it increased IA per cent. The
situation is that five pounds of news
print paper are needed for every four
pounds now being produced.
How this shortage is boosting
prices is illustrated at the government
printing plant, which now is asked to
pay IA 1-2 cents a pound for the
same paper it bought for 1-2 cents
a pound in 1917.
Despite high prices, orders for
100000 tons of newsprint paper
went begging last year.
Any steps taken to ease the situa-
ton will be slow in bringing results

Since the presidents trip to Paris
it had been the policy of Republican
leaders to assault him as an
usurper," the senator declared, add
ing that "this unjust campaign" was

for almost year and half the presi-
dent has been too Ill to perform,
without greatest suffering, the imper-

1T is proposed that the nagging

While travelling through Tibet I had
occasion one day to leave the caravan.
I started out on foot with just a re-
yolver; for 1 was in almost desert
country, and did not expect to be gone
more than a couple of hours. / had
been alone for half an hour when. 1
came across half a dozen shepherds
tending herd of yaks. I paid no at
tention to them however, for Tibetans,
though surly, are not usually danger
Gus. Happening to turn round about
half mile further, noticed that they
were following. Obviously they meant
trouble, and as they were between me
and the caravan, had no choice but
to 70 on and try eventually to circle
ba, to my companions.
For quite a distance the chase con-
tnued. I was disillusioned and saw
that they had not hurried, because
they were certain to overtake me. Be-
fore me was the edge of a huge cliff
stretching for miles to left and right.

WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?
DIVE INTO ICY UNKNOWN
OR DEATH BY BULLETS:

Below me it dropped perpendicularly,
and at a depth of at least 120 feet.
Tapping idly against the cliffside
was three quarters of mile Of water.
What was I to do? On one side men
seeking my life, unrestrained by thought
Of law or humanity, armed with mus
kets, which, if old fashioned, had my
modern revolver hopelessly out ranged.
On the other side water, icy cold in
those attitudes, of unknown depth.
Even if there was sufficient water a
dive of 30 feet was no joke. Then
could I stand that water for three
quarters of mile? If I reached the
other side would I be able to make
of landing, and would I ever reach my
friends?
1t was a hard task choosing, but
jumped. I succeeded in swimming
across, though of course had to take
off my boots. Somehow I managed to
scramble ashore, and at last, about So
hours later, after miles of trudging
barefooted on rocky ground, I man
aged to rejoin the caravan. But it
was an awful experience.
