as the surges of sound paused to let
the figures reach the clerks. Little by
little the drift to the Cox column con.
tinued, gaining momentum as it ran.
''Get into the wagon." roared man in
the galleries, and the Cox rooters took
it up. Votes for other candidates than
Cox or McAdoo brought yells to come
out of it" and awake up" Finally,
after new move by McAdoo support
ers to adjourn in last desperate eff
fort to stave off defeat had been roared
down, the last ballot. the 44th, began.
The result was forecast with the
first vote. Alabama swung solidly to
Cox State by state, delegations who
had stuck out for McAdoo with divided
delegations, followed suit. The slide
had set in and there was no stopping il.
The convention had its mind set TO
nominate on that ballot. Up and up
mounted the 0hioan's, total of votes
As it passed the 700 mark, with the
necessary two-thirds just ahead, the
tumult increased minute by minute un
til the last votes were heard only
vaguely on the platform. Pennsylvania
NtllI Otti anu ibt Nbibihup
leaped TO his chair to change the vote
of his state to Cox. Half dozen other
chairmen were waving for recognition
to make similar announcements.
Chairman Robinson hurried to his
desk with Sam b. Amidon OF Kansas,
McAdoo chief, whom he presented
only after a furious assault with the
gasel forced partial hull in the cheer
ing. Through continuous racket Am
idon moved that the rules be suspend
ed and the nomination be made unani-
climbed up on chairs TO wave their
arms for silence and then stand poised
like college yell leaders to signal the
answer to the question.
Banging his gavel in final thump,
Chairman Robinson put the question
and the answer roared back at him
with all the volume Of thousand
voices in shouting the tremendous
AYE" that made Governor Cox the
Democratic nominee.
The 44th ballot never was completed.
In the chorus of affirmation il was
swept away as unnecessary. Many of
the changes which would have been
made had the vote been carried through
were never recorded, and on the face
of that ballot Governor Cox received
officially 702t. votes, but these were
never totaled, for he was nominated
by the unanimous voice of the con
vention.
The nomination Of Governor Cox
means that the two great parties not
only have gone into the same state
for their candidates, but have picked
men who for years have been associat.
ed more or less closely in the same
profession. Like Senator Harding, Gov.
ernor Cox is a newspaper man and
their home towns in Ohio are nst far
apart.

CAR WENT 200 FEET
DOWN EMB4NKHENT'
Remained Upright All the Way and
Occupants Unhurt-Both Pleaded
Guilty of Intoxication.

Both Henry Rock of Washington and
Peter Jondro of Barre pleaded guilty
to charge Of operating an auto while
intoxicated. when brought into city
court this morning. Rock also pleaded
guilty to separate charge of intoxica-
tion, whereupon bail was fixed at 500
for each and both men were released
until July %, when sentence will lie
imposed. These young msn were ar
rested Saturday evening after the car
which they were driving dashed over
200.foot embankment and halted in
small swamp against a tree. Jondro
was driving the car and in turning out
for another car lost control, with the
result that his Chevrolet car ran off
the road, grazed tree and then went
straight down the embankment with
the emergency brakes stiffly applied.
The broken front wheels lodged in a
small swamp after digging up ground
for several feet, the ear having re-
manned upright during the entire de-
scent The passing auto believed the
two men killed and went Immediately
TO nearby house. telephoning for an
ambulance, for doctors, and to the po-
lice department.
As il happened, neither occupant was
seriously hurt. Rock sustaining but
bruised leg and Jondro escaping un-
hurt. The ambulance was therefore uti-
lized as a patrol wagon for Rock, who
was taken TO the lookup instead of to
the hospital. but his companion had
awaited for no assistance, departing
through the woods to parts unknown.
