Assistant Secretary of Navy and Rel
alive of Late Colonel Chosen as
Running Mate for Cox.

San Francisco, Cal, July 7.-Frank-
lin d. Roosevelt, assistant secretary
of the navy and relative OF the late
Col Roosevelt, was nominated by ac-
clamation for vice-president by the
Democratic national convention yes
terday afternoon as the running mate
for Governor James M. Cox of Ohio,
who was chosen as the presidential
nominee on the forty-fourth ballot
early yesterday morning.

soon after the convention assembled,
and although other candidates were
presented, there was no doubt Of Mr..
Rosevelt's selection from the first
Whatever the verdict may be at the
general election, the democratic con-
vention leaders are in high feathers
over the nomination of Governor Cox
of Ohio for president and of Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt of New York, assist
ant secretary Of the navy, for vice
president. 1t probably is the young
est ticket nominated in the past fifty
years by either party Governor Cox
is 80 and Roosevelt SO. Undoubtedly
the magic of the latter's name helped
him win the vice-presidential nomina-
ton for which he was not an avowed
candidate.

Drift Slow at First.

The drift to Cox began immediate
ly after Palmer's delegates had been
released, but it was slow at first, the
McAdoo followers fighting TO the
last ditch, and attempting to delay
the choice by repeated motions TO
adjourn. The governors supporters,
however, were in the saddle and they
put down all attempts to throw the
convention into recess.
Some of the states were slow in
surrendering their votes, even when
the nomination of Cox appeared as
sured. 1t was not until the forty
third ballot that the Ohioan sue
ceeded in getting majority of the
votes
On the forty-third balloT Cox polled

nomination OF Governor Cox was only

diana delegation, which in previous
balloting had shown willingness to
throw its strength to the nomination
of either McAdoo or Cox. were turn
ed towards Cox. On the fOrty-secOnd
ballot Indiana gave Cox nineteen and
McAdoo eleven. On the fOrty-third
the Indiana votes were cast twenty
for Cox and ten for McAdoo. Flani-
gan, who had been voting for Nc
Adoo. went to Cox on the forty-third.
On the forty-fourth and final ballot
