cession and the 10000 who marched
by. The most original was one who
shouted "'Rah for Cox" All others
shouted "'Rah for jimmy" There was
a battalion of the Ohio coal miners
wearing the carbide lamps Of their
craft on the visors Of their white can
vas caps and one Of them carried a
sign that read, Jimmy has been fair
to us; the miners are grateful"
Some of the Marchers
Another group bore a huge trans
parency that read: "Jimmie's boyhood
friends from Middletown." These held
up the parade while they circled about
in an Indian war dance. Then came
another group that advertised them
selves from Jacksonboro, birthplace Of
"our Jimmy" There were others from
Camden, where "Gib" Cox is spending
the last years of his life. One of the
cronies from the circle Of old men who
sit around the back room Of Wilson'S
general store in Camden called out a
greeting, but the elder Cox didn't hear
it. He had fallen asleep. The old man
will be eighty-seven on his next birth
day and these involuntary maps are
coming at closer and closer intervals.
The sensation Of the parade was the
Marion delegation, which was about
1000 strong in the parade, and among
the signs they carried was one thai
read: Harding lost Marion County
for Governor by 984 votes" Another;
It's gettin' leetle too warm on the
front porch"
Speaks Nearly Two Hours
1t was 4:37 D. m. when Governor Cox
began to speak, following The notifca-
tion address by Senator Robinson. 1t
was 6:21 p. m. when he concluded, and
even then he had skipped portions Of
the written address. When he started
broiling sun was making every one in
the crowd glsten with perspiration
Half an hour before he finished the sun
had been shut from view by threaten
ing sky and then a drilling rain began
that dispersed the majority of his
audience, excepting only those who
were sheltered in the grandstand.

From a stag Correspondent

DAYTON, Ohio. Aug. 1.-THE career
Of James NJ. Cox, three times Governor
of Ohio, came into full bloom at the
Fair Grounds here to-day when he for
mAlly accepted the Presidential NOM
ination rendered by the Democratic
party, interpreted the platform of the
San Francisco convention and was af-
fectionately acclaimed as Jimmy by
$4,000 persons.
These were massed about the start
cr's tower Of the race track, filing the
grandstand, part of the "stretch" and
overlooking into the paddock. They
seized upon the slightest excuse to
cheer the man whose name has become
familiar to them since he entered poll
tics. But in the small tower from
which the Ohio executives voice was
mcgaphoned to the outermost edges of
the perspiring, flag waving throng, was
small group of men, undemonstrative,
who have played important roles in
shaping the destiny of the nominee.
One was "Gib" Cox, the Governors
father, white-headed, sun tanned, IN an
obviously new suit adorned with
large, silken, red badge with a gilt lace
edge
He had seen this youngest son come
into the world undistinguished from
the half dozen brothers and sisters
who had preceded him into the wealth
erworn, red brick farmhouse at Jack
sonboro, some thirty miles as the crow
flies from the tower where Governor
Cox spoke to-day.
Ran Away From Farm
If "Gib" Cox had been less exactins
in the amount of farm labor expected
from his youngest son Jimmy, by the
word of the Governor himself, might
be working on the old place to-day as
tenant farmer, instead of being the
Governor of a state and the head of
major political party. But the boy
couldn't stand the drudging farm work
and ran away to the home of his broth
er-in-law at Middletown, half a dozen
miles away.
This was James @. Baker, postmaster
at Middletown, who also was in the
tower to-day. His wife is the Cover
nor's oldest sister. Baker was his
from Republication to Democracy.
Then Baker bought a weekly news
paper and while acting as printers
devil in this shop young Cox was in
fected with a virus that has kept him
in newspaper work ever since.
He might have gone along into
middle age as a country editor but for
James Faulkner, who was in the tower
to-day reporting the Governors speech
for "The Cincinnati Enquirer" More
than twenty-five years ago Faulkner
was city editor of "The Enquirer" and
when young correspondent named Cox
at Middleton showed rare enterprise in
getting an exclusive story of train
wreck that was costly in lives Faulkner
had him come to Cincinnati and 90 to
work as a reporter on a big newspaper.
Scores Over Other Reporters
There were scores Of reporters at
the fair grounds to-day, but Faulkner
was the only one who sat in the tower
along with the nominee. Another in
that restricted space was Daniel Ma
honey, son-in-law of the Governor and
cepresident of his publishing COM
pany, which owns the Dayton and
Spring field, Ohio, newspapers with
which Cox laid the foundation of his
political career. Mahoney has run the

automobiles to Trailsend, the beautiful
home of the nominee. Governor Cox
stood just inside the door and shook
hands and exchanging friendly greet
ings with the national committeeman
OF nearly every state and with other
Democrats. such as Joseph Tumuty,
President Wilson's secretary, and
Secretary Meredith, the only Cabinet
officer who attended. Most of the
Democratic Senators, including James
A. Reed, of Missouri, who because of
his opposition to the League of Nations
was excluded from the San Francisco
convention, would add nothing to the
hymn of praise for Cox except to say
that the nominee was a charming
gentlemen.
Many OF the Democratic Senators
were there. Behind the Governor stood
Mr Roosevelt, and in the library was
Mrs. Cox, charming in white accor-
DION pleated costume, and urging all
she greeted to partake heartily of the
buffet luncheon being served by a
swarm of darby walters in the dining
room and on the terrace
Candidates Lead Parade
1t was 1880 O'Clock when the Gov
ernor asked Mr.. Roosevelt if he was
still game" to march with him at the
head of the parade from downtown to
the Fair Grounds. Mr. Roosevelt was,
and they started for the Soldiers and
Sailors Monument, at the head of Main
street Arriving there they climbed
out OF the Governors car, and, with
their straw hats in their hands, set off
down Main Street at the head of band
and trailed by more than ten thousand
other marchers.
About seven years ago Main Street
lay eight feet deep beneath the food
waters of the Miami River. 1t was
Just as impossible to-day because of
the mass of humanity lined along the
sidewalks. The Governor and his run
nlng mate walked along, paying no heed
to the thumpings by which the drum
mers Of the bands endeavored to keep
everybody in step.
Jimmy" was the predominant word
in the staccato roar that came from the
sidewalks and Jimmy responded with
a wave of his hat and a smile that
brought out the crows feet at the
corners of his eyes. Now and again
they halted each other by a pull at
a potential Presidential or Vice Presi-
Dental arm to pose for some photogra-
pher, frequently an amateur with
this, past the stone pillared office of
the Governors paper, "The News" past
the plant of the National Cash Regis
ter Company and finally into the fair
grounds. There was a vast crowd wait
ing there, which overhowed the grand
stand.
Then the Governor and Mr. Roose-
welt took their places in the starters
tower and reviewed the rest of the pro-

papers since his dad-in-law got into
politics.
Then there was Senator Joseph T.
Robinson, of Arkansas, in white
linen suit similar to the one he wore
as chairman of the convention which
nominated Governor COX. He delivered
the speech to-day by which Governor
Cox was formally notified Of his nomi-
nation.
Beside the Governor stood Franklin
D. Roosevelt, the Vice Presidential
nominee of the Democrats.
In a flag-bedecked box in the grand
stand, within smiling distance of the
tower, sat the young wife of the nomi-
nee, his sons and daughter by form r
marriage and the wife and fair-haired
daughter of Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t was early morning when the first
of many delegations detrained in Day
ton, and then all through the forenoon
they continued to come. All told,
there were about forty bands, and
among them they seemed able to clay
but one tune, "He Rambed,' but the
words that were sung to this cadence
were:
The hills send back the cry.
We're here to do or die
Ohio--Ohio,
Well 'lect Jim Cox.
Or know the reason why.
There were delegations from every
one of Ohio's lightweight counties
The largest from Hamilton county
(Cincinnati) filled three train sections
and there was another large one from
Marion, the home of Senator Harding.
The official Democratic count of the
individuals in this group was 1855, of
whom it was admitted that "about
fifty came from clowns nearby
Marion"
Many From Other States
There were other delegations from
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
souri,, Michigan and New York Con-
spicuous in this group were Former
Ambassador James W. Gerard, and Nor
man f. Mack.
While these groups were thronging
the Drofusely decorated business por-
ton of Dayton, some of the leading
Democrats went in a procession of

Josephus is not going to have 1t
said again Of him that he didn't give
everybody a chance at a naval de-
coration. Saturday night he issued a
call to the entire naval service asking
for statements regarding acts of
heroism or distinctive service Of any
kind which would entitle men and
officers to decorations. This was a
bit of rare foresight on his part. for
in the next breath he reminded his
department that the naval award
board reconvened on Monday. Pre-
sumably any Recommendation not re-
ceived up to that time would not be
considered. Considering that naval
stations and ships are located all the
way from Washington to Guam and
back again. around the earth, it is
their own fault if they do not get
around with their recommendations.

that even should they return it will
