IL Judge Robert S. Marx of Cincinnati
says about the fight Governor James NJ
Cox made for better labor conditions in
Ohio and which he asserts the governor
will make for the working men of Ameri-
ca when elected President
II campaigned with Cox in 1872" said
Judge Marx, when he drove out the polit-
ical bosses of the old order. Governor Cox
fought these bosses and all the other reac-
tionaries with two fists out in the open and
carried his fight to the people then as he is
doing today and he won as he will now."
Marx describes the Democratic candi-
date whose career he has watched almost
from its start as essentially a man of the
people. IL cannot impress too strongly"
he says, "the love he has for the comrade-
ship of his fellowmen. He is just an aver
age American in his tastes and sports, a
lover of baseball and fishing but mostly
lover of men. He is the kind of man who
likes to counsel with his fellow citizens
who wants advice and heeds it. He is the
kind of an American who, like Lincoln,
wants strong men around him.
ed for office in Ohio guarantees a strong
cabinet for the nation. If Governor Cox
proves himself the friend of the man who
works with his hands it is because he still
remembers the days when just few years
before, he shaved and toiled himself. He
has had a common mans experience and
has a workers knowledge of the workers
needs and viewpoint.
81 wish you had been with me to Middle
ton, the city where Jimmy Cox first start
ed to earn his way by selling newspapers
in the streets, | wish you could have been
in the opera house when the people well
coined him after his nomination. There
was only one sign, welcome our barefoot
Jimmy for Cox is Jim and Jimmy to every
Ohioan and we are Bob and Jack and Bill
to him. Cox worked in Mddletown as
printers devil and then came to my home
city, Cincinnati, as cub reporter. l have
talked to the men who worked beside him
on the Enquirer. They tell of the kicks and
cuffs he got there, of his bulldog grit and
his hard work.
"He never lost sight of the needs of
workingmen as was demonstrated again
and again during the years of his COVER
norship. Labor everywhere knows that he
wrote the Model Workmen Compensation
Law of the World making compulsory
state insurance for every workman and
laborer in Ohio. Today 22,800 employees
and 100000 workmen are insured by the
state against death and accident during
work at half the cost of private insurance.
Today when workman is hurt in Ohio he
gets two-thirds of his wage as long as he is
out of work and if he dies his dependents
get $4,000 in cash without one cent of cost
to the employee. This is only one achieve
ment of Jim Cox in Ohio. He has succeed
ed in putting on the law book statutes re-
quiring full crews on railroads, an eight
hour day in public work, minimum wage
law for women. He has safeguarded
against accidents in mines, abolished child
labor and eliminated sweatshops. What
he has done for the workmen of Ohio as
governor he will do on bigger scale for
workmen of America as president"
