in as buoyant spelIbinding form in his
9th year as when he fought his losing
battle against Harding in 1920. The
Dayton editor -statesman'S recent broad
cast was one of the most telling talks yet
delivered on the Democratic side. Once
upon q time Cox ranked as a Jefferson
ian who shares the same diluted en-
thuSiasm for the New Deal that inspires
Carter Glass ct al. But Cox leaves no
doubt that he now fully supports Roose-
welt and his policies. The Governor Is a
tower of campaign strength in nip-and-
tuck Ohio.
Although Senator Clark, Democrat. of
Missouri suggests that Senator Nye,
Republican, of North Dakota played
politics in releasing the Elliott Roosevelt
Fokker aircraft deal afidavit, Nye has
conspicuously refrained from taking part
in the 1886 presidential fracas. The
Munitions Committee chairman has
been friendly to the New Deal in Con-
gress, but announced some time ago
that he would confine his political
activities this year to North Dakota local
election affairs, regardless of the
national contest, even though his party
comrade of former days. Representative
William Lemke, is candidate for Presi-
dent. Nye's colleague. Senator Frazier.
is understood to be supporting the Lemke
candidacy.
DR.. Manley o. Hudson, Harvard law
professor, just elected to fill the World
Court vacancy caused by resignation of
former Secretary of State Kellogg, has
ranked for years as the foremost advo-
cate of American entry into the League
of Nations. He was once attached to
the Secretariat in Geneva and is widely
esteemed there. Because Of his inter-
national contacts, Hudson received the
highest number Of nominations by ma
tional groups that any candidate for the
World Court bench was ever given-39
as compared to the previous record of
80 for Charles Evans Hughes in 1928.
Other Americans who were place in NOM
ination for the post awarded to DR..
Hudson included former Secretary Of
State StimSon, proposed by France, Bel
gium and the Netherlands; DR.. James
Brown Scott, the candidate of Peru, and
Prof. Philip Marshall Brown, nominated
by Austria.

Senator Borahs formal announcement
that he will not campaign for Landon is
a cruel blow to the Republican high COM
mand. Chairman Hamilton felt assured,
after the conspicuous kow-towing to the
Idahoan at Cleveland. that Borah sooner
or later would lend his stentorian inf1u-
ence to the Kansan's cause. Republican
leaders laid particular stress upon the
Senate veterans active support, as a
desirable counter balance to the aid
which Norris, La Toilette and other
Progressives are giving the New Deal.

Not only are Roosevelt and Landon
now electioneering in the same Mid
western territory so vital to victory for
either of them, but next Thursday they
may actually pass each other in almost
head-on collision. The prospective point
Of contact is Senator Vandenberg's home
town of Grand Rapids, where, accord
ing topresent train schedules, the Sun
flower Special will pull out of the Union
Station there Just about five minutes
before the New Deal caravan rolls in.
If the Governors train is a bit late or
RooseFelt's special a little early, the
rivals may find themselves once again
under the same roof-this time, Of
train shed, instead Of the Capitol at
Des Moines.
