Preside icc Prcsidenb 1 JAMES M. COX. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. m. COX NAMED BY DEMOCRATS AS THEIB CHOICE FOR PRESIDENCY Selection Is Made After Eight Days of Most Strenuous Political Battling--Second Place Goes to Franklin D. Roosevelt ^ WRIGHT A. PATTERSON. For President: JAMES M. COX, of Ohio. For Vice President: F. O. ROOSEVELT, of Now York. Convention Hall, San Francisco, July 6.--After eight days of the most strenooous political battling any party has seen in many years, the Democratic gathering at 2:45 Tuesday morning of the second week named James M. Cox of Ohio for president, and on Tuesday afternoon named Franklin D. Roosevelt for vice president The nomination of Governor Cox was made on the forty-fourth ballot, and after a night of the most Intense - excitement. Beginning of Break. When the convention convened on Monday morning, after a fruitless period of. balloting on Friday night and late Into the night of Saturday, it seemed to be in a deadlock, out of which no one of the three leading candidates could possibly be picked as a winner. This condition continued throughout the day. and until after a tecess taken at 5:30 until 8:30. No evidence of nuy serious break tould be found in the lines of any of Che three leading candidates until after the thirty-eighth ballot, when Congressman Carlin announced the withdrawal of Attorney General Palmer •nd the release of his instructed delegates. On the next ballots the Pennsylvania delegation continued to vote Almost solidly for Palmer, but after that they broke, the majority going to McAdoo. On the forty-first ballot the McAdoo forces began to break, and before the forty-fourth ballot was completed it was evident that Governor Cox had won, and a motion to make the nomination unanimous was carried with a shout Real Democratic Convention. It was a real convention, and more .especially a real Democratic convention, that adjourned on Tuesday afternoon. It was a convention that was ran by the 1,003 delegates and an equal number of alternates. It was leaderlesB, and. In fact, if it may be said to have bad a fault at all it was this lack of leadership that for many weary hours made it seem impossible for the necessary two-thirds to rench un agreement on the choice of a candidate. During these hours and days there were a number of men who were Quite willing to assume leadership, but ho one of them, or no group of them, could find a sufficient number of followers to make their leadership effective. The delegates) insisted that they, and not any self-appointed group of leaders, represented the rank and file of the Dem&ratic party, and each delegate insisted on voting the way he believed, or professed to believe, his people at home wished him to vote, regardless of any plea for a compromise, and regardless of the use of every expedient known to political strategy to influence him. Opening Was Featureless. The opening of the great gathering was as featureless, as all such openings are. There was an air of expectancy in the great audience, for the majority of whom this was, their first experience in a political convention of such magnitude. The audience had looked for a fight starting with the fall of Vice Chairman Kremer's gavel, but they were rewarded with nothing more exciting than the masterful keynote address of Homer Cummlngn, In which he outlined the issues on which the Democratic party would ask the people for support. This address was devoted almost exclusively to the League of Nations, and its point was './a demand for ratification without nullifying reservations. He laid special emphasis on the point that the president was not opposed to reservations so long as they did not serl- COX PRODUCT OF THE FARM ^Democratic Candidate for President Was Born in Rural Districts of j the Buckeye State.

For the next two days the real activities of the great gathering were transferred to the meeting rooms of the committees. The committee on credentials confirmed the actiou of the national committee in seating the Palmer delegation from Georgia and In unseating Senator Reed of Missouri. It had been anticipated that both of these contests would be taken to the floor of the convention, but with the exception of entering a protest on the action on Senator Reed the contests provided no entertainment for the audience. McAdoo Nominated. The event of the nominating sessions was the presentation of the name of Mr. McAdoo. It was known that Mr. McAdoo had Insisted that his name be not presented to the convention, and had repeated this wish by telegraph on Tuesday to Rev. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City.- McAdoo delegates were Insistent that the name of their favorite be presented regardless of his instructions, but Frank R. Wilson, a former Iowa newspaper man, the leader of the McAdoo forces, was equally Insistent that the wishes of McAdoo be compiled with. In the end Wilson consented to an informal presentation in which It should be stated It was without the consent of the former secretary, and without any elaboration of his qualifications for the office. Mr. Jenkins said that while Mr. McAdoo was not seeking the nomination, he proposed that democracy draft him for the good of the natlaki Fight on Platform. y The platform committee had a long, stubborn fight on Its hands In an effort to satisfy many opposing elements. Senator Glass, as chairman of the resolutions committee, represented the administration viewpoint of the League of Nations especially, and proposed to prit through the Virginia plank. This was acceptable to practically all delegates except Mr. Bryan and some of his followers who could not see the possibility of ratification without radical reservations. Other planks that caused hours of discussion referred to the liquor question, to Ireland, to labor and two or three other things. In the end the committee had to take several questions to the floor of the convention, much to the gratification of the audience. and this resulted in another oratorical display throughout all of the long Friday session. Senator Glass presented the majority report of the'Gplatform committee. Mr. Bryan presented a minority report containing a strong dry plank with a declaration for a strict enforcement of the Volstead act; a plank calling for an amendment to the Constitution giving a senate majority power to ratify a treaty and indorsing a ratification of the league covenant with whatever reservations might be necessary to secure its approval; a plank on profiteering that the cost and sale price be shown on all articles of merchandise, and a plank providing for the establishment of a national bulletin for the dissemination of Information on all important national questions of the day, open to all political parties and through which all candidates for office on a national ticket would be, privileged to announce their candidacy and their qualifications. Mr. Bryan, by request, offered another minority report on the liquor question prepared by Richmond Pearson Hobson. Bourke Cockran of New York presented a minority report for the wets providing for the enactment of more liberal enforcement legislation for the eighteenth amendment, and leaving It to each locality to determine the desired percentage of alcohol. pryan Arot^ses Delegates. It was characteristic of a Democratic convention that all'sides were given a bearing before the delegations, and what a hearing It was. Mr. Bryan was given an hour and a half to present his side of the story, and he went to bat with all his old vlgor.He received the cheers but not the votes and his dry plank went down to defeat with only 155 votes In favor of It, and his other planks were beaten without a roll call. Cockran Plank Falls. The Cockran wet plank fared bat little better. The gifted orator from New York used all of his great ability In presenting his side of the question, bu* without effect. When the roll was called the delegations from the large cities, and from two or three of the distinctly wet states, were with him to the extent of 356 votes, nearly 200 less than the needed majority. , The minority report on Ireland provided for a promise of recognition for the Irish republic, as Ireland's supporters bad not been satisfied with merely an expression of sympathy and the referring of their demands to the League of Nations. The minority report was presented by Delegate Doheny of California. It had the united support of the Irish delegates , but went down to defeat by a vote of 402 to 676. While the platform, as adopted. n.ay be said to represent a victory for tlie administration forces as led by Senator Glass, It was not adopted without giving all a chance to aeccre such changes as a majority of the delegates favored on the liqw>r question. Mr. Bryan pointed out utter the session that the combined vote for his dry plank and the Cockran wet plank did not represent a majority of the delegates, which was an evidence to him that the party was determined to entirely ignore the subject One Great Feature. Much as the great audience had appreciated the oratorical displays and the keen competition that had marked the efforts to secure party endorsement for opposing ideas, the one great feature of the national show for which all had waited was the .balloting on the candidates for the presidential nomination, and when Chairman Robinson of Arkansas announced the next order of business as the roil call of the states, immediately after the adoption of the platform, be was greeted with a mighty roar. First Ballot. On the first ballot on FrMay night the result was McAdoo 266, Palmer 256, Cox 134, Governor Smith 109, Owen 38, Davis 42. Cummings 26, Marshall 37, Meredith 27, Hitchcock 18, Glass 26, Edwards 42, Girard 21, Harrison 6. and a few scattering votes. By the time the fourteenth ballot was taken on Saturday the contest had narrowed down to the three leaders, with the exception of the Oklahoma (Iplegationj which- stuck to Senator Owen to the last; the West Virginia delegation, which never deserted Ambassador Davis, and the Virginia delegation, which stayed by Senator Glass until Monday afternoon. All of these delegations were sticking to favorite sons In the hope of being in when the time of compromise should come. The vote of the leaders on this ballot was: McAdoo 355%, Cox 153V», Palmer 182. After the sixteenth ballot a recess was taken In the hopes thaf some compromise might be effected that would permit of a nomination before midnight, bnt It was without result The leaders were willing to pick a dark horse, and the attempt was made to put over Ambassador Davis, but the delegates refused to follow the leaders, and continued to vote almost to a man as thfcy had before adjournment, and they continued to do so until midnight forced an adjournment to Monday. { Withdrawal of Palmer. In reality It was the caucuses of Sunday and Sunday night that In the end resulted in the withdrawal of Palmer and made the final nomination possible. The space allotted to this story is not sufficient to warrant an attempt at painting a word picture of the Democratic convention of 1920. It was a convention that will be remembered as one of the most flercelj fought political battles, one of the most picturesque political gatherings In the nation's history. Spectacular Demonstrations. The demonstrations for favorite candidates and for favorite policies contained all of the old-time political fervor. Time after time came parades of state standards. Time after time came fights for the possession ol Rtate standards, and In which a number of them were destroyed. At the close of Mr. Bryan's address In support of his dry plank all of the state standards, with the exception of New York, Mississippi, Illinois, New Jersey, Alabama, Ohio and two or three others, were carried to the platform In his honor. Following the address of Secretary Colby in support of the majority report of the platform commlttee on the League of Nations, every state standard was carried to the platform as a tribute to him. Noise From Ohio. The noise of the convention was contributed to a very large extent by tho Ohio delegation. Nearly 500 Ohioans were present In San Francisco, including a band of 40 pieces. When the name of Governor Cox was presented to the convention the entire Ohio contingent, with "the band at Its head, captured the floor of the convention and started a demonstration that continued for three-quarters of an hour. San Francisco did Its full part as host to the Democratic throng, and every arrangement for the entertainment and comfort of the city's guests was perfect. (Copyright, Western Newspaper Union.) DR.

Chicago, July 2.--Shipments of between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 pounds •f Cuban sugar'by way of Canada, which are now being received here, were billed to packers, canners ana wholesalers at 9 and 9% cents a pound, according to the federal, anthorlties Investigating, instead of the prices of 26 and 26% cents a pound,^ which It was generally reported pre-' viously that wholesalers and other large users were paying. A sweeping investigation has been promised'-by the district attorney's office and other federal officials. The government Investigators state they have seen some of the Invoices on which the consignees here are charged the low prices of 9 and 9% cents a pound. They announced they will examine all invoices on the consignments, question the consignees, watch the wholesalers and watch the retail stores for evidences of profiteering fn the sale of the sugar, and trace the sugar to the shippers and question them to verify the prices, according to one of the officials leading the lnven* tigatlon. Present sugar prices hover around 80 cents a pound retail. In the agreement made about one month ago with District Attorney Clyne dealers are obliged to limit their profits to 1 or 1% cents per pound. If the Cohan sugar now being received Is costing 26 and 26% cents per pound wholesale, should retail for 27 or 27% cents a pound. Bnt if the charges of the government investigators prove true, and the wholesalers are paying only 9 and 9% cents, the 27-cent retail price would constitute flagrant profiteering, federal officials said, and if the agreement with the district attorney Is lived np to, this sugar should sell for 10% or 11 cents retail, according to the federal authorities. The fair price commission rales are still in effect, although there is no fair price commissioner of Illinois at present, according to the federal authorities, and it Is expected a new commissioner will be appointed early next month, after District Attorney Clyne returns from the convention In Ban Francisco.
