Contest Long an.l Hard. Chairman Cumniings of the demo cratic national committee said: "The convention reached Its result In a truly democratic manner. The forces, purposes and opinions repre sented by the delegates had full play and reached an uncontrolled result. It was a long:, hard contest, but It leave no scars, and the candidates will have the united support cf the party. "San Francisco redeemed every promise that was made in her behalf, and in many respects far exceeded our expectations. There were some who doubted the wisdom of holding a. convention on the Pacific coast. Actual experience, however, has re moved all doubt. - The presentation of his name to the convention came as a complete sur prise to Mr. Roosevelt and the nomi nation upset all his previous plans for the summer, he said. He was busy at his hotel room writing messages to his family, now in summer quarters on the Maine Coast, when a troop of well-wishers, headed by Secretary Daniels, arrived to congratulate him. The vice-presidential candidate dined with Secretary Daniels. Admiral Rodman and officers of the Pacific fleet aboard the flagship New Mexjco tonight. He will leave for Dayton - tomorrow. Mr. Roosevelt had no formal state ment to make regarding his nomina tion. He Indicated, however, that he expected a vigorous nation-wide cam paign to be conducted and to devote some of his own time to the western states. COX LIKES ROOSEVELT DEMOCRATIC . NOMINEE, IS PLEASED WITH RUNNING MATE Record ol Jftan Who Has Been Prominent at Washington Quoted at Large. DAYTON, O., July 6. Governor James M. Cox, democratic presidential nominee, tonight expressed his ap proval of Franklin D. RoosAelt as his running: mate in the coming elec tion. A telegram of congratulation sent by Governor Cox to Mr. Roosevelt late this afternoon said: "Please accept my earnest congrat illations over the honor that has come to you. I am very much delighted that we are associated together in the cntest." in discussing Mr. Roosevelt, Gov ernor Cox characterized him as a very vigorous, upstanding, courageous and progressive democrat "Mr. Roosevelt's speech before the national committee in Chicago last winter made a very strong impres sion. said the governor. "He spoke In Dayton last winter on American ization and his address at that time : was very favorably commented upon all over the country. His service at ashington has given him wide expe rience and acqaintanceship." The governor added that Roosevelt was a very good "stumper." Governor Cox tonight wired Edward H. Moore, his campaign manager at San Francisco, saying: "Rarely, if ever, has the magnificent fight which you made been equaled in a national convention. Generalship matched support from the ranks, and that is -saying much for both. Con gratulatlons and thanks." in nis lam to nis newspaper em ployes Governor Cox said: "The greatest gift that the Almighty . uoa can give to any man in publi life is to permit him to come into the world under ciincumstances which en able him to know the life status of the man who works. Providence wa good to me it was my high privilege to come through the ranks. I know the torment of the boy who is with out funds, and I know his anxiety as to how he will get an education tha will help him achieve his ambition If nomination means election. I will take to the White House this best equipment for a man in public life experience in the - ranks with those who toil." 4 r - CHOICE OF COX ELATES DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPERS Providence News "Thankful for Escape From Blight of Palmer." "Deliverance From Equivocation of a McAdoo" Held Merciful. FOLLOWING is the editorial com ment of representative newspa pers throughout the country on the nomination of Governor Cox by the democrats for president: Pittsburg Sun (dem.) Among the great constructive works of Ohio's' governor are an efficient budget sys tem, a model workman's compensation act and a series, of progressive laws that have given Ohio one of the most complete and satisfactory labor codes in the Union. Hartford Times (dem.) Cox' rec ord for progressive legislation meets every test. He will win because the country wants the Cox type of man for its president and not the Hanna type. He is the antithesis of reac tion. Charleston Evening Post (dem.) The democratic party has taken a wide swing from the leadership and inspiration of the last eight years and has become more realistic. Cox' nomination is due to the feeling that he can win votes, that he will appeal to the human element rather than the intellectual and that he is not, the heir to Wilson. Worcester, Mass., Post (dem.) Cox has done things, done them with out fear, for the benefit of the great est number and not of the few and done them well. Politically he is a two-fisted fighter and after he is elected he fights for the right as he sees it just as hard as he fights for the election. Providence News (dem.f Out of the agony of long labor the scarred but always unterrified democracy has brought forth as its nominee a man much bigger than his platform. We lire thankful for the escape from the blight of Palmer. It is a merciful de liverance from the equivocation of a McAdoo. Omaha world - Herald (dem.) James M. Cox is a worthy exponent and champion of the platform. He is democrat at heart, both progressive ana liberal in his three terms as gov rnor. He has proved himself a great cniei executive in a great state. St. Paul News (dem.) The nomina tion of Cox will seem to most demo crats in this section a happy way out c a aeaaiecK.

The naming of Cox places the demo cratic party in the peculiar position of being able to cater to art elements in American life. Cox will appeal to those men who have long been tired of political fads. Cox is possibly the most businesslike man ever nomi nated by the democratic party. New Haven Union (dem.) It must be admitted that a democrat who can thrice be elected Ohio's governor against admittedly strong opponents U a man who has a great deal to com mend him to all voters. The nomina tion also is a complete answer to the republican charge that the San Fran cisco convention was Wilson-owned and controlled. New Orleans Times-Picayune (dem.) -The. democratic convention in our judgment "has selected the strongest candidate practically available. The convention was unusually deliberate in its choice. It is to be congratulated upon the result of Its long, delibera tions. Philadelphia Record (dem.) As a good, deal has been said about the governor's attitude toward prohibi tion. It is Interesting to recall that he was beaten by the saloon interests in 1914 because he enforced the Sunday closing law. He procured the law and enforced H and lost the election. but his party nominated him again and he was elected. Chicago Tribune (rep.) The party dodged the liquor issue, but the can didate revives it. On the covenant the party was vehement and the can didates silent. On liquor the party is silent and the candidate is eloquent. It is as shrewd a manipulation as could be made. Worcester Gazette (rep.) Cox' record as governor haa been that of a reformer. The challenge of the re publicans to make the league of na tions the major issue is not accepted. The beseeching of the president that rat'fication of his covenant be made the dominant thing In the minds of the' voters if repudiated. Springfield (Mass.) Union (rep.) By a curious development not only Is the administration defeated, but Bryan is also. Pittsburg Press (rep.) The party has definitely turned Its back upon Mr. Wilson's idealism and gone in for DAVIS.

Minneapolis Tribune (rep.) The nomination of Mr. Cox will be regard ed as a defeat for dry sentiment and will afford satisfaction to the wot clement everywhere. It is also re garded as a defeat for the adminis tration. Minneapolis Journal (rep.) Ths naming of Governor Cox forces the liquor issue, for it completes the re pudiation of Mr. Wilson. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (dem.) Governor Cox has the merit of being entirely divorced from any connection with what have come to be known as the Wilson policies. Burlington (Vt.)

Syracuse Post-Standard (rep.) iiovernor Cox was nominated because his home is Ohio and his principles are moist, xnere were no other rea sons. There was another thqught in the mind of Tammany, which is more concerned about re-electing Al Smith man aoout electing a president. Cleveland News (rep.) Governor cox is not a conspicuous, defender of the Wilson cult of internationalism. in ract, although the San Francisco platform praises the league of nations ana glorifies Its advocate, the con vention may be said to have repudat ea mr. Wilson by choosing a candid date opposed by the administration forces. Omaha Bee (rep.)

BIG ROAD CONTRACT LET Texas Award Declared Largest Sin- gle Job Ever Given in U. S. PHOE3NIX. Ariz., July 6 What was said to be the largest single road con struction contract ever awarded in the United States, was awarded in Texas to a local firm, according to word received today from Ranger, Texas. .

"A nation as wet as the Atlantic," 40 wet delegates controlled by Boss Brennan, the Illinois boss, and 19 of the 30 votes held under the iron claw of Boss Taggart of Indiana. The Inordinate desire to win brought into line many respectable delegates who felt that Cox, by reason of his soaking wet proclivities, might be able to carry the big wet states of the east and add them to the prohibi tion etates of the south which al ways vote the democratic ticket, wet or -dry. The fact was before these 1 delegates that Senator Warren G. ! Harding, the republican candidate. had voted to submit the prohibition amendment, had supported the Vol stead act and had Voted to override the president's veto of the Volstead law. Great Appeal Expected. In view of Harding's record on these measures it was thought tnai cox could make such an appeal as was in the power of no other candidate to the big industrial centers of the east, where the hope still springs eternal that the barroom and the brewery will be re-established." It is useless to discuss the league of na tions or any of the great economic questions that are before the country in this campaign with James . the candidate of one of the parties. Cox has simply been substituted for the plank which the big bosses desired most of all to get into the platform. He is the living personi fication of the anti-prohibition dec laration whicL would have been written into the platform but for the courage and determination of William Jennings Bryan. To Say More la Held Uselena. It is useless to say more. Wayne T Wheeler, general counsel ror me nnil-snlnnn league of America,' said it all In a statement which he issued a few days before the convention met. H nairl: The friends of law enlorcement will present a solid rront against Governor Cox. He is the last hope nt tha wets in their programme for nullification. Governor Cox' record makes him an impossibility if national prohibition Is to be effectively sus tained and enforced. He has served the wets- long and faithfully. He championed the license law of Ohio under which he haa tne appointing r.nwr of license boards to build a siTon? rjolitical wet machine. He en couraged lawlessness in Ohio by re fusing to aid the irienas 01 law ana order after the state had twice adopt ed a state constitutional provision by referendum vote. - - His declaration for a lignt - wine and beer amendment, which is a nulli fication measure, will alienate not only the drys, but the friends of law and order. The experience in the states and now the supreme court dei cision of the United States, proves nni-iusivelv that a beer - ana wine Amendment hamstrings law eniorce ment and would destroy the purpose of the 18th amendment. Record Called Malodorous. As Mr. Bryan well said: "Governor Cox, record is as malodorous as gov ernor Edwards', and extenas over n longer period. He has never lifted his hand or used nis voice tor me adoption or enforcement 01 laws pro hibiting the beverage liquor iraiiic. When the wets neia up me law enforcement code for Ohio by a refer endum he gave them encouragement. When the wets by an illegal referen dum attempted to nullify the vote of the legislature on ratification he was their friend. When the wets tried to adopt a 2.75 per cent beer amendment to the state constitution by a state vote and failed, he was their any. in every contest between the forces of prohibition, law enforcement and law and order he has secretly aided the enemy. He is the logical candidate for the wets, but now that the na tion is under constitutional prohi bition, his candidacy is unthinkable and a menace to law and order." , Dry Delegates Humiliated. Delegates from the dry Etates of the west felt .keenly humiliated over the convention outcome. j.ne splen did men and women of the Oregon and Idaho delegations stood out to the last ballot for McAdoo rather than cast their votes for the wet candidate nrl reluctantly voted at tne end to make the Cox nomination unanimous. Washington s delegation am not give Cox a majority until tne 4tn and last ballot and then two dele gates, Mrs. J. M. Simpson or spoxane and N. W. Washington, declined to support him. OLD BOURBONISM BACK (Continued From First Page.) nations but they did not want to take any undue chances on any entangling issues whether urged by Wilson or Bryan.

For that reason they dodged both. or tried to aoage. lei, naving aeii- nitely put them out of sight if not out of mind, they have revived the whole distracting issue over prohibi tion by nominating with open eyes the candidate most obnoxious to the prohibitionists and all temperance workers and practitioners.

He un,deJ estlmated the delegates' sense of his importance. So did most others. Cox Haa Meager Start. Now look for a moment at what happened. Cox started In with a meager 1S4 votes in a convention of 1092 delegates and with a two-thirds majority, or 728, necessary for a. choice. Both McAdoo and Palmer had votes at the outset and a far more promising outlook. Cox was wet; the convention was dry made dry either by itB convic tions or its fears. The high water mark of the wet or moist strength ; was shown when the half-hearted Cockran proposal for light wine and beer in the homes got something more than 400 votes. Any outright proposal . rr aorlous modification of the prohibition amendment or the Vol stead act would have thrown the con vention in a panic. The McAdoo forces and the Palmer forces were recruited from under the same elements. Then there was a group of favorite sons who were thor oughly imbued with the notion that their policy was to stick through thick and thin in the hope of final success from failure or inability of the con vention to do anything else. These favorite son delegates stood out like sore thumbs and were about aB popu lar They stood by their guns to the last. They had to be reckoned with by Cox as well as by Palmer and McAdoo. Uak Dropped br Murpby. There were other favorite sons who were put up as a masquerade iur m real designs of the politicians. They were Smith. of New x otk ana uwa.uo of New Jersey. On the seventh ballot his mask and New Jersey and New York got behind Cox. Taggart was more shy, but ha too landed finally where he belonged. The real fight for Cox began on the seventh ballot and they pushed him forward until the 12th ballot, when he passed McAdoo, on the 19th, when he reached his apparent maximum of 46S, while McAdoo had dropped from 384 to 327. It was.a long see-saw bat tle between . thoroughly disciplined delegations, controlled by master hands, and undisciplined delegations bossed by too .many amateurs. But they contrived to shove McAdoo ahead of Cox again on the 30th ballot. On the 38th Palmer withdrew and his following went mostly to Cox. partly for the reason of the irritations that had been steadily growing be tween Palmer and McAdoo. partly through the superior attractiveness of the cohesive Cox organixation and partly, no doubt, through personal negotiation with delegates who are politically negotiable by politicians who know how to negotiate. Prohibition, Bryan, Wilson were forgotten or ignored on the strain of those last agonising hours. Cox had with him men with the will and power to do things. McAdoo did not. It was enough.

Third party proponents see in the results of the democratic national convention the certainty of a new political party, according to a statement Issued here tonight by Howard Williams, national vice-chairman of the committee of 4S, which has called a convention in Chi j cago July 10 to 14 for organization of a new party and selection or canal dates for president and vice-presi dent of the United States. The statement tonight said: "The republican convention adopted a reactionary platform and selected typical old-guard candidate.

Our canned meat products are protected in the packing by Government Inspectors and the ap proved result bears the Government mark of standard. But our vegetable food products are not under Governmental scrutiny and care. Of the thousands of canners, there are some whose output is not always fit to eat. " And so, voluntarily, a great association of can ners have formed a National organization to pro tect the public and themselves against impure canned goods. Have agreed to a tax per case for the main tenance of a daily inspeotion in the canneries of the association's members, and have agreed to permit, only on those products whose manufac ture comes up to rigid sanitary requirements, the imposition on the package of a seal or certificate of safety. When you see this seal next year, it will iden tify for you canned goods which you may eat with the knowledge that it has behind it the pledge of a great industry as to sanitation and wholesome ness. The National Canners' Association has dis played a breadth of visfon and an intelligence in self-interest that must react favorably on the work of other associations. It will merit the commen dation of the public it serves. So far-sighted and powerful a movement will be advertised nationally to hasten the success that seems inevitable.
