Franklin d. Roosevelt was born
in Hyde Park, Duchess County,
N. Y, January 30, 1882, the son
of James and Sarah (Delano9
Roosevelt. OF Dutch origin, the
family came from Holland in 1913;
and in later generations intermar-
ried with Flemish, Scotch and
Irish settlers of what is now the
City of New York.
Graduated from Harvard in 1904
with the degree of A. D., after re-
ceiying his preliminary education
at Croton School. He graduated
from Columbia Law School three
years later and was admitted to
the New York State bar.
In the 1910 State campaign he
was nominated for State Senator in
the district comprising Dutchess,
Putnam and Columbia counties,
which for twenty-eight years pre-
viously had been represented by
Republican. "Young" Roosevelt,
as his Dutchess County neighbors
knew him, made vigorous cam
paign and surprised the old-line
politicians by gaining q decisive
victory.
In the 19l0-19l2 sessions of the
General Assembly Senator Roose-
welt gained applause as an anti
Tammany Democrat. Despite the
opposition of Tammany leaders,
Roosevelt was renominated and re-
elected State Senator in 1912, car
rying a district which went Repub-
Hcan for the other candidates.
In March, 1913, he resigned
from the Senate to accept an ap-
pointment as Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, a'post which he oceu-
pied during the war and in which
he still continues.
The Democratic nominee is a
fifth cousin OF the former Presi.
dent, and adds another chapter to a
career that closely parallels that of
his illustrious relative and name
sake. Before be was 80 Roose-
velt, like Theodore Roosevelt, was
Ia member of the General Assem-
bly, of New York; both were Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy; at 38
Franklin d. Roosevelt is a candi-
date for Vice President, four years
younger than Theodore Roosevelt
was when he was chosen to run
with William Mckinley. He mar
ried daughter of SElliott Roose-
welt, which made Theodore Roose-
welt his uncle by marriage.

SKETCHES OF
THE NOMIN EES

Not unlike many another boy
who attained prominence in latter
life, James Middleton Cox, Gov
'ernor of Chic, was born on farm
near Jacksonburg, o., March 81,
Io70 He attended the district
schools of the neighborhood, be-
came printers devil, printer,
school teacher, newspaper report
er, secretary to Congressman,
owner, manager and editor of two
newspapers, Congressman three
terms aud Governor three terms.
In the eyes of those who know
him best this record is an out
standing reason for his candidacy
for President in the approaching
campaign, and it is added by his
friends from the Buckeye State
that this is not Gully the sentiment
of those of his own political faith,
the Democratic party, but by many
men Of all other political faiths.
The early trend Of Ohio toward
progressive thought in government
and the enlivening activity along
these lines brought to the front in
Congressional politics James NJ.
Cox, who espoused these princi-
piles from his first appearance in
public life.
The same application.that made
Mr.. Cox a successful business man
by his own efforts and from which
he attained success made him a
Congressman regarded as excep-
tionally efficient and Governor of
a nominally Republican State.
He first became a'candidate for
Governor as the leader..of the pro-
-gressive movement which demand
ed a change in the Constitution of
Whio. Successful in the follow.
ing election, he obtained the en-
actment of laws which placed to
the constitution in it's new form in
full effect.
School men in Ohio are quoted
as saying that the Ohio school code
of today will live as an everlasting
monument to the achievements Of
Governor Cox. Among the laws
for which Governor Cox assumes
responsibility are: A child labor
ilaw that has been copied in several
States; a model workman's COM
pensation act; a mothers pension
system; the initiative and referen-
dunn; scientific budget; a prison
farm providing healthy occupation
for convicts; elimination of sweat
shops; law to protect Ohio inves-
ors; consolidation of many useless

The Choice of a King for Greece.

The death Of the young Greek King,
ALEXANDER. after an illness of fort.
night, has called to the attention of
the world the peculiarly complicated
political situation In the Hellenic king
dom. Foremost among the elements of
this situation are the effect which the
Kings death will have upon the gen
eral election early next month, in
which the national strength and
popularity of VENIzELos will be put to
test, and the result of the persistent
efforts Of the deposed CONSTANTINE
TO recover his throne when a successor
to ALEXANDER is chosen.
One solution of the governmental
problem which has been proposed, that
of the establishment of n republic, is
opposed by VENIzELos, who has him.
self been suggested as the only likely
candidate for the Presidency. He re.
fused to entertain the proposal when
it was preached at the time of Con-
sTANTINE's deposition. He opposes II
now because he believes that the read
justment Of territory after the war
has given 30 Greece new people in
Thrace, the Egean Islands and Asia
Minor, who are scarcely ready for un-
dertaking the burdens Of self-govern-
ment which would be imposed by n
republic.

from Crete with the detached view OF

take the building scandal inquiry out
Of the hands of the District Attor-

we recall has ended in anything better

be a shame if, after the exposures
made by the legislative committee
and Dir. UNTERMYER, the guilty should

How much public confidence is there
in Mr.. SWAMI as n candidate for

in an authorized interview with Mr..

porter. Governor Cox, in reply
characterized the question "as I'M
fairly and unfortunately stated but
went on to announce: II thoroughly
concur In the reservations proposed
by Senator HITCHCOCK, and also those
suggested by me formerly"
Slippery Governor Cox! The clari-
flying and helpful reservations pro-
posed by Senator HITCHCOCK, as
everybody ought to remember. were
so innocuously Clarifying and so harm
lessly helpful that even Mr.. WILSON
himself, months and months ago,
seated firmly in the seat Of obstinacy
and defiance, was willing to accept
them as they stood
The campaign opened with a decla-
ration by President WILSON that he
and Cox were absolutely as one" on

Cox confirmed the declaration of
unanimity by the pledge that what
he promised I shall, If elected, en-
deavor with all my strength to give"
If there is any deviation from this
in the Huntington utterances Il must
be regarded as evidence of a sly poll

hour and fiftieth minute, of a com
ing avalanche.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 20.
A delegation representing the Amer
lean Legion and headed by +. w. Gal
braith. Jr.. national commander. visited
the White House to-day and iSft for
NAL statement OF their complaint against
Louis f. Post, Assistant Secretary Of
Labor, whose dismissal the Legion is
seeking.
The delegation had expected to see
President Wilson. Not even Secretary
Tumulty was at his office when the dele
cation arrived, however. and 80 the
members left a written statement
Tt Is regarded as unlikely that the
statement will get to the President, since
he Is said to have already communicated
to Mr.. Post approval of that officials
handling Of Immigration and deporta ton
problems. This Is In face OF complaints
against Mr.. Post not only by the Legion
but also by Attorney-General Palmer.
The Legion's complaint is that depor-
tation of undesirable aliens abruptly
stopped when Mr.. Post took charge of
that work. Mr.. Palmer. whose depart
ment rounded up and arrested the aliens,
voiced the same complaint.
Later Mr. Post stood in the way of
the Legion's desire TO get space on Ellis
Island from which the work of Ameri-
canization in which the organization has
interested itself could be carried on, It
Is understood.
The Legion was represented by a COM
mittee of six appointed by National
Commander Il. w. Galbraith, Jr., and
composed of Democrats from tire South,
as follows: Henry d. Lindsey of Texas.
Roy Hoffman of Oklahoma. Wilbur c.
Hall of Virginia, Emmett O'Neal of Ken
lucky. J. NJ. Johnson of South CAROLINA,
and John J. Wicker OF Virginia.

Of the Legion in the Pacific coast States
demanded an investigation of Mr.. Post
official conduct with reference to depor-
tations. a committee of three recon-
mended his dismissal and the national
executive committee of the Legion on
October l approved the report
The Legions complaint states that the
Labor Department cancelled from Janu-
airy to June 10. 1920. 2,115 deportation
warrants, ordered deportation in $50
cases and deferred sixty cases.
