Cox's name
 "The election this year will fix the status of America for a generation" " said Judge Johnson. Mot only will it decide whether we shall take our rightful place at the very head of the nations in a united effort for civil ization, or shall lapse into sullen ostracism in the face of opportunities for service to humanity which no people ever had; but it will also de- eide whether the domestic progress and vast productive energies of this continent shall be turned back into reactionary channels after a period of splendid achievement in Democrat ic administration.
 When this country was forced in- to the great world war, our people in common with their fellow country men in all of the states, were thrilled by the call of the great man who sits in the seat of Washington and Lincoln and who with superb spirit and matchless phrase interpreted the highest aspirations and the invincible purpose of the free people of the earth If envy, hatred and passion shall deprive him of his just recog nition now, and deprive his country and humanity of the benefits of his vast service in their behalf, succeed ing generations will pay increasing devotion to his honor. The mighty appeal he made to the resistless forces of civilization will place him among the colossal figures i1Y tne history of mankind.
 ''The American people must now de- eide whether that pround position which our soldiers and our people won shall be abandoned or whether we shall show ourselves worthy of the inheritance we have enjoyed

He must know that America cannot hold herself away from the rest of the world, that science and invention and genius have removed all barriers on land and sea ard have brought together all the races whether they will or not He must realize that the huge debts inn posed upon all the nations by the bloody struggle make it imperative that the American president shall be man of great business and executive capacity; that this debt can only be paid by wealth produced in the fac tories and mines and on the farms of the country, and that there must be the devoted. united and harmon ious work of every capitalist and every worker to accomplish the mighty task The taxes must be in- telligently laid to the end that this capital and this labor may be, as far as possible, unfettered.
 "The great state, of which I have spoken, presents man who has these qualities in full and rounded measure. His strength is not the passing fancy of mere lucky turn on the political board. It is the solid strength and judgment of the people after actual power that is slowly fixed in the performance of service. His friends do not generalize, they specify. For eight years he has been under the searchlight in our state In each of the years new problems were met, new difficulties encountered, new demands made upon his tireless industry and upon the resources of his leadership and statesmanship He has constant ly grown with the severity of the test At every crisis and at every new trial he has developed a splendid reserve force and capacity.
 "All saw and admired the resolute stand he took for the impartial en-
