Cox was formally notified today by Senator Robinson of Arkan- sas. chairman of the notification com mittee, that he had been chosen by the democratic national convention as the party's presidential nominee.
 No Bosses Dictated.
 ''The convention reached it's deci- melled judgment by the delegates without inducement or coercion from political bosses" the senator said. -"The honor and responsibility at tending this nomination came 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 service demonstrates rare leadership"
 Senator Robinson outlined the pro- gressive legislative measures in Ohio which he said Governor Cox had se- cured against opposition. Of the Ohio budget system, included in the list, he said:
 G. O. P. Adopts Budget. The measure has proved so satis- factory that the republican nominee has declared for a similar system of co-ordinating national income and expenditures"
 The democratic platform was "clear and unmistakabie'' in its meaning 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 un- derstand'' and susceptible of various constructions"
