Cox of Ohio to play an ac- tive role in the congressional elec- tions the coming fall, is taken by pol iticians in Washington, both demo- cratic and republican,. as proof that he will make another try for the presidential nomination

 But should Ohio remain republican and Lodge return to Congress, 1t is contended that Cox would be rela- lively weakened as an aspirant for the nomination.
