a good running mate.
"Cox and Roosevelt, that's catchy.
isn't it," commented the GOVERNOR as
he first learned who his associate on
the ticket would be from the Asso-
ciated Press in his home at Trails
End. The governor has left his news
paper office in the city before vice
presidential nomination was made,
and his office had forgotten to
telephone him the result.
Governor Cox was sitting in a re-
clining chair in his library enjoying
his pipe and chatting with some news
paper representatives when informed
of Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination. He
appeared well pleased with the selec-
ton and at once dictated to the news-
paper men the congratulatory tele-
gram which he sent to Mr.. Roosevelt,
also one sent to his campaign man.
ager, E. H. Moore.
The governor admitted that he was
not intimately acquainted with Mr..
Roosevelt, but declared him to be a
vigorous, outstanding, courageous and
progressive democrat. He comment
ed particularly upon two addresses
made by the vice presidential nomi-
nee, one before the national democrat
ic committee in Chicago last winter
and the other on Americanization in
Dayton. He said MI. Roosevelt's SER
vice in Washington has given him
a wide experience and a wide acquain-
tanceship. In his public address af-
ter his nomination in Middletown on
Tuesday night Governor Cox declared
in commenting upon the industrial un-
rest in the world, that "any attempt
to exploit class hatred is equally as
dangerous as the bolsheviki in Eu-
rope"
He asserted that the golden rule
works much better than the bullet
or the bayonet and that in all indus
trial disputes there is a middle ground
which must be followed in order that
justice be done to all.
"Those in public places must guard
the freedom of the many from the
exploit of the few" he said.
Governor Cox said he will make no
plans for the campaign until he has
had an opportunity to confer with par
ty leaders, most of whom will not get
back from San Francisco until the
latter part of the week. He said he
may go to the executive office in Co.
lumbus today or tomorrow to clean
up work there.
The governor indicated in his tele-
gram of acceptance to convention
Chairman Robinson that he would
make an active campaign, rather than
the "front porch" variety planned by
the republican nominee.

President Wilson Tuesday night
