Nominated at San Francisco on the
Forty-Fourth Ballot.

San Francisco, July 6.-James M.
Cox, Governor of Ohio, was nomi-
mated for President by the Democrat
ic national convention at an early
hour Tuesday morning on the forty
fourth ballot.
When the balloting on the forty
fourth vote had gotten to a point
where Cox had 702 votes and was
rapidly approaching the necessary
two-thirds of 729, Sam B. Amidon,
of Kansas, manager of the McAdoo
forces and vice chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee, took
the platform, end moved that the
nomination of Gov. Cox be made
unanimous. Immediately there was
roar from the tired and worn DEL
egates, which lasted for full four
minutes before Chairman Robinson
could put the question on Amid !on's
motion to suspend the rules and
nominate Cox by acclamation.
At 1:43 o'clock the motion was
formally voted over with rolling
chorus of ayes and a crashing of the
brass bands.

acquired Titanic Efforts.

II is interesting to recall the almost
suprhuman efforts required five years
age to float a $500, 1000 Anglo-French
lon. Early in the summer of 1915 a
commission representing England and
rance came over to arrange n credit
he Englishmen were Baron Reading,
Jord Chief Justice of England; Sir Ed
gard III. Holden. chairman of the Lon
don City and Midland Bank: Henry
Babbington Smith and Basil p. Black
lett The French members were Octave
Homberg and Ernest Mallette. Not only
was there active hostility on the part
of some Americans and a great deal of
unfamiliarity with foreign loans on the
part of the American public but the
amount decided upon. $500, 10000, was
the largest sum ever raised by public
offering within limited time. In adj
dition the great western portion of the
United States was decidedly lukewarm
In regard to the loan. To offset the
handicaps many banking innovations
were undertaken, the commission made
a trip to Chicago and the most extern
sive advertising campaign ever at
tempted up to that time was success
fully carried out.
After the fullest sort Of preparation
the offering was made In October, 1915.
Large amounts of the bonds did not
find their way into the hands of in
vestors at the moment, and during the
long continued process OF distribution
the price declined below the issue price
