James M. Cox, governor of Ohio, was nominated for president of the United States in the democratic national convention at 1:40 o'clock this morning. The convention then adjourned until noon today. The nomination came at the con elusion of a 44-ballot struggle in which he had steadily beaten down the forces of William G. McAdoo, ex-secretary of the treasury, and President Wilson's son-in-law. When the balloting on the 44th vote had reached a point where Cox had 702 votes and was rapidly ap proaching the necessary two-thirds of 729, Sam B. Amidon of Kansas, manager of the McAdoo forces and vice-chairman of the democratic na tional committee,' took the platform and moved that the nomination of Governor Cox be made unanimous. Choice Made Unanimous. Immediately there was a roar from the tired and worn delegates which lasted for a full four minutes before Chairman Robinson could put the question on Amidon's motion to sus pend the rules and nominate Cox by acclamation. At 1:43 o'clock this morning the motion was formally voted over with a rolling chorus of ayes and a crash ing of the brass bands. State standards which had surged back and forth in the desperate bat tles of the deadlock raced to the front of the hall and to a place be fore the platform. In the confusion and excitement of a nomination after the strenuous and hard sessions of the convention al most everybody forgot about a nomi nation for vice-president, but the leaders were figuring on a list which prominently included Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, assistant secretary of the navy. While the crowd was demonstrating its release from the deadlock the leaders ar ranged an adjournment until noon tomorrow to canvass the question of second place in the meantime and meet again prepared to complete the ticket. " Opposition Taken by Surprise. The Cox band wagon movement really started late yesterday after noon before the recess for dinner, During the interval both sides of the fight made desperate appeals to " Tammany. Throughout the night New York's vote stood the same, 20 for McAdoo and 70 for Cox. On the third ballot of the evening session the slide to Cox started and before the leaders of the opposition could realize it the votes were flopping over in twos and threes and fours in a fashion which sent him over the majority mark and put him at a new level. After that the going was easy. (.Concluded oa Fasc C, Column 1.) League of Nations Denounced as "League of Treason and Cove nant of National Death." KANSAS CITT, Mo.. July 5. The league of nations was denounced as a "league of treason and covenant, of national death," by Senator James A. Reed, who returned here today from San Francisco, where he was refused a seat as delegate to the democratic national convention.' Senator Reed, addressing a mass meeting declared that he was pri vately assured "by grapevine mes sages" while his case was being heard. that the credentials committee of the convention would seat him if he would agree to keep silent in regard to the league of nations on the convention floor. His refusal, to make such an agreement was responsible for his being denied a seat, he said. "If there is one lesson that this country is to learn," Senator Reed said, "it is that this is not a one- man country. It is a 110,000,000 men country. If you would keep this re public safe you must do your own thinking. Tou, the pepole, are the source of all power. The sooner you exercise it, the better it will be for yu and for the country.""" Senator Reed denounced the demo cratic convention at San, Francisco as convention afflicted with interna tional blind staggers." Without direct personal reference to anyone, the senator declared there was little difference between the doc trine of the divine right of kings "and the modern doctrine that a man elected to office becomes thereby a leader, and that all who differ from him are excommunicated and out cast." Robert Lansing, ex-secretary of state, he described as the only man whom the president took to France with him who knew anything about international law "and about the only one who had ordinary" common sense," and he asserted that Lansing's re moval from office was the result of "his insistence upon warning the people of the true meaning of this league with treason, this covenant of national death." EXTORTION PLOT CHARGED Decoy Package Leads to Arrest or Illinois Farmer and Employe. CHICAGO, July 6. Xe-wcomb Pal mer, a young rariner of Momence, 111., is being held at Chicago and' Byron Caudwell, a former employe of Palmer, is in jail at Kankakee, 111., charged with an attempt to extort $40,000 from Len Small, candidate for the republican nomination for gov ernor of Illinois.

AUDITORIUM. San Francisco, July 5. The first vote to be cast for a woman for the democratic presi dential nomination came today from the Kentucky delegation. Chairman Stanley cast it for Miss Laura Clay, one of the women of the delegation. So far as convention observers could remember, it was the first vote cast for a woman in the conventions of either of the two great parties.

Copyright by tne Ne Tork Evening Post Inc., Published by Arrangement. SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. (Spe cial.) This is what happened to McAdoo. At least this is what has happened up to date, for the exigen cies of the difference in time cause this' article to be written while the balloting is still on. The McAdoo managers here were a queer come-tbgether lot, with very little in common except devotion to McAdoo, and all of them of the sec ond rank so far as politics are con cerned. . There were, first of all, sev eral of the women who have come to the front in politics. Women as politicians turn out to have less give and take than men, and to that extent they are handi capped. Moreover, women tend to be implacable and uncompromising. It is a question whether these women McAdoo leaders would not at all times have got as much pleasure out of the martyrdom of failure as out of the elation of success. Supporters Lack. Experience. In addition to these there were several McAdoo leaders who are pol iticians, but whose experience puts them distinctly in the second rank. There was Jouelt Shouse, a subordi nate official of the treasury; Mr. Love of Texas; Mr. Huston Thompson of Colorado, a member of the fed eral trade commission; Mr. Robert WOolley, a member of the interstate commerce commission. There was George Creel, although George had to go home two days ago. All these there were, and one other Postmaster-General Burleson. If Mr. Burleson had had charge McAdoo would have got the nomination. But (Continued on Pace 17. Column 1.) TV" hi Tnrn'nnf 'r 1,1 r r Tr"irrTi - TA iff'' A" "' "- j i ll' -: .

By CHARLES C. HART, Washington, D. C, Correspondent for The Oregonlan. SAN - FRANCISCO, Cal., July E. (Special.) Viewing the convention In the retrospect this evening during the recess It has not been a convention at all. Today's battle has been a struggle between two distinct groups of federal Job holders each fighting desperately as It believes for eelf preservatlon. And the bosses who hold the bal ance of power appear, to feel that It is we'J to let these government em ployes vlear each other out before try ing to proceed with the serious work of nominating a standard-bearer for the democratic party. Governor Cox. the real candidate of the bosses and the wets, was given a run for his money Saturday. Those who are anxious to free the demo cratic party of the White House blight decided overnight to let the son-in-law have one more chance. Vote Breaking Is Rase. In giving him the chance today they even delivered him a few extra votes which could not have been brought to his support except under orders. Indiana's sensational break to the White House heir onathe 29th ballot was only a part of the programme whereby the good feeling of the fed eral group behind McAdoo was to be cultivated and made to feel in the end that all had been fair. When Boss Taggart suddenly threw 29 of his 30 votes to McAdoo on the 29th ballot the word was passed around that it was only a flirtation. "The deal was made last night," ex plained a democrat from Indianapolis. He said that Taggart would give Mc Adoo 29 votes for several ballots and if this failed to bring other substan tial support to the son-in-law stand ard, the votes would be returned to Cox who had been receiving the en tire Hoosier vote for several ba'lots. Job Promised Ralston. Report. The Indianapolis man volunteered another piece of interesting informa tion which was to the effect that McAdoo's nomination by the aid of Indiana and his election meant a place in the cabinet for former Governor Samuel Ralston. He said this was the chief consideration in the deal closed between Taggart and -the,. McAdoo managers last night. '" - '" This story sounds fishy, however, because it Is doubted, that Taggart, experienced politician that he is, would accept the assurance of anyone representing McAdoo in San Fran cisco at this time. Son-in-law McAdoo reaching his peak of 421 votes on the 32d and 33d ballots began to decline just at the rate he had made his last gains, and Palmer was taken up, according to the schedule to permit the other (Concluded on Pag? 4, Column 1.) DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT. .TiirTn - nTimir'a - i. - iiii JAMES 31. COX) Spirit of Liberty Should Be Fanned In Every American Heart, Says Speaker. HUNTINGTON, N. T.. July 5. Wil liam G. McAaoo, around whose stand ard several hundred delegates to the Democratic national convention have rallied, today delivered his first pub lic utterance since the convention be gan at San Francisco, yielding to the demand of 500 Huntington villagers assembled for the Independence day exercises. Speaking extemporaneously, he took as his theme patriotism and devotion to the vision of liberty held by the revolutionary fathers. Mr. McAdoo attended the exercises as a spectator, but was discovered and called upon for a speech, and at last he yielded. He made no refer ence to contemporary politics. "We are here today because a small group of patriots met together and had the vision to conceive a great Idea and the courage to carry it out.' he said. "No progress has ever been achieved without vision, courage and performance. What we achieved for liberty has always been a flaming torch for the world." He turned toward a group of civil war veterans seated on the platform and continued: "These men responded to the call to vindicate liberty and as a result organised a great union strong enough to vindicate democracy and destroy autocracy when the call came. "The men who died 'n Flanders gave their lives for a similar purpose, for their-vision of preserving liberty, and we must not fail to rededlcate. ourselves to their vision. "When I look about and see the suffering abroad, not only among our allies, but among our late enemies, it Is enough to wring the heart of hu manity. "We must draw from this a lesson on the necessity of having vis'on and courage. There is no progress stand ing still." Referring to the place where the revolutionary hero, Nathan Hale, was captured by the British, he said: "Huntington la a place particularly fit for rededicat'ng ourselves to this vision. We drink again here the spirit of Nathan Hale, immortalized in the greatest utterance I know of: 'I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country.' This is A spirit every American citizen should cultivate." BARS RAISED TO JEWS High School Attendance Cut Down . by Hungarian Minister. BUDAPEST, July 5.

TRIBUTES ARE RECALLED Government Declared to Consist Only of Normal Men, Not of Supermen as Some Think. MARION, O., July 5. It was as "dear friends and neighbors" that Senator Warren G. Harding, the re publican presidential candidate, spoke to the thousands of Marlon and other Ohio citizens who today gathered about his home to welcome his re turn. In response to a welcome address by D. R. Crlssinger, president of the Marlon Civic association, he told them frankly that he liked their rejoicing "over a more than usual tribute to a fellow towjisman." "If It Is becoming to assent to the praise you bestow, let it be under stood that any preference ever shown me Is wholly and invariably due to the consideration which I have will ingly shown to others and to an in herited conviction that it is a waste of God's rich endowments to assail and destroy when all the flowers of life bloom best in the soil of svm- pathy and encouragement," he said. Democratic Support Predicted. If the admonition of Mr. Crissinger. himself a democrat, comes true. Sen ator Harding will ride the democratic mule into the White House next No vember. "I admonish you, my fellow citi zens." he said, "that he will ride the democratic mule into the While House in November as president of the United States." Following a recital of Senator Hard ing's early life from that of a bare foot country lad, Mr. Crissinger de clared the senator "is neither too proud to fight nor too proud to work." that he is no "silk stocking" business man but a "real fellow, a man who thoroughly knows his business .and does it, and the printer's rule which he always carries in his rabbit foot." SIr. HardliiK Shares Tribute. But Senator Harding did not receive all the tribute. He was compelled to share n about 50-50 with Mrs. Hard ing in the welcoming ceremonies. How she had shared in the trials and triumphs of her husband were related by Mr. Crissinger. who asserted that her "tactful ways will make her a favorite as the first lady of the land." Senator Harding's address follows: "Dear friends and neighbors: "There is conflict of emotions in re sponding to your cordial welcome home. It is always good to come home, no matter whither one has gone or what the revolving fates have wrought during one's absence. "It is a little difficult to make a choice among thoughts impeUing. For 38 years we have been friends n,i neighbors here in Marion, and only a few miles away are the treasured scenes of birth and boyhood. Some of them have been recalled and recorded, very recently, with touches of imagi nation. I fear, because the real story is a very ordinary one which might be related concerning any of us, but that doesn't in any way mar the understanding among hom-folk. City Achievements Cited. "There can be no mistaken ap praisal of our relationship. It is too extended, too intimate, too thorough ly stamped by community Interest. You and I. all of us Marionites, have been boosting this Marion of ours together for considerably more than thirty years, and have shared in varying degrees the achievements at tending its development. The thought of development and progress, a desire to find our place on the map of Ohio, inspired us, and there 'was common interest in spite of the seeming self ishness attending the rewards. We were all boosters together because it is an engaging pursuit. Any dis tinction which came to me in that connection was due to the accident of my occupation as a publisher rather than any spirit peculiarly my own. We all played the game together, because it was our game and we boosted because the upbuilding, up lifting, commending pursuits In life are the only ones worthy of anyone's committal. "It it is becoming to assent to any praise you bestow let it be under stood that any preference shown me was wholly and invariably due to that consideration which I have willingly shown to others and to an inherited conviction that it is a waste of God's rich endowments to assail and destroy when all the flowers of life bloom best in the soil of sympathy and en couragement. Many Tributes Remembered. "Marion has been unfailingly gen erous towards me. Many of you -have stood before this hpme before and voiced your greetings and encourage ment. There is running through my mind recollections of 17 ) ears ago, when you first wished me well as a state candidate.

Great Britain does not forget those who prove themselves its friends in the hour of need. Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, told General Pershing today in presenting him a bejeweled sword as a gift of the city of London. The presentation was made at the Brit ish embassy before a distinguished company. Commenting on the celebration to day of America's Independence, "Wrung from an autocratic govern ment by the spirit of individual free dom astir in many lands," Sir Auck land recalled in those days "there were many on both sides of the At lantic who thought the action of the framers of your constitution right." "There is none now, I believe, on either side of the Atlantic." he said, "who does not think they were right. Though neither you nor we are all of English stock, the memories of Itun nymede are a possession of all your people as they are a living memory and possession of all the British people." General Pershing accepted the sword "in the name of the men of America who, with the men of Great Britain and our other allies, com bined the " courage and stvlll that brought a new victory to our race and to all those who seek justice and liberty for mankind. "The glorious thins for this gen eration of British and Americans to have had the privilege of battling together," said General Pershing, "will be still more glorious, if in har monious co-operation they can aid in the restoration of the world and guide the future of less fortunate neoDles into channels that will In sure peace to future generations.

Victim of Severe Injuries. PROSSER, Wash., July 5. (Spe cial.) As result of a vicious mauling by a hunting dog, the 2-year-oll daughter of Harry Mack, United States reclamation service engineer, was frightfully lacerated, and her condition is alarming. First aid was rendered by Dr. W. W. Brand of Prosser this afternoon, after which the child was removed to her home at Sunnyside, with intention of tak ing her immediately to Seattle, if condition permitted. Mr. Mack was talking to a. ditch foreman when the child sought to make friends with the dog.

BT EDGAR B. PIPER. SAN FRANCISCO, July 5. -(Editorial Correspondence.) Sore, sul len and unsatisfied, the delegates of the democratic convention are here yet all the survivors are. Many have gone home, leaving the fate of the country in the hands of their alternates. Nobody sees a solution. There is is none, perhaps, unless, old Doc Mc Adoo or Tulchritudinous Palmer or Cold Storage Cox sees fit to pull out, or the sick man at Washington reads the convention's mind for it, or what is left of its distracted and dismayed - 11 - . , mat is wnat comcs,vnen a great party for six or seven years lets one man do its thinking for it. When he refuses it is stalled in a blind alley for its ineptitude. The galleries are full. For it is a holiday, the ever glorious Fourth, one day belated. The chairman has a happy thought, the Declaration should be read. He suggests that of Independence ' Ralston Reads Declaration. Former Governor Ralston of Indi ada waddles to the platform and pro duces the immortal document from his inside pocket. The Ralston rear elevation is identical with Bill Taft's porpoise proportions. Top story not the same. The governor sticks to the job from "life, liberty and happi ness" to "sacred honor.' The convention cheers dutifully arid proceeds to show its utter lack of independence by resuming the collar of its old deadlock. First bal lot, being 23d in order, is now called. No cheers. Little noise, no good hu mor, just the bilious weariness of the morning after. Mississippi starts a languid breeze by announcing that it votes solid for Cox and will continue to do so. Missouri makes a feeble effort to restore good nature by giving half a vote for Ring W. Lardner, the humorist, who says his middle name is Worm. Virginia votes for Glass, and the reading clerk casts it for "Glawss". Washington Has Its Joke. Washington state makes a merry bid for jocular eminence by casting a vote for Irvin Cobb. If they leave it to the press gallery it will be a dead heat. As it is, they have an even chance with some of the candi dates. Humor is a great thing. It often saves many a man from mak ing a fool of himself, and many a humorist from making a politician of himself. -Now they say that Cox' manager, omebody named Ed Moore, has bet $500 to $1000 that Cox will be nominated within one and one half hours the triumph of delusion over probability, the insane fancy of infallibility that seizes every or thodox political manager. The result of the ballot shows eight votes loss for McAdoo and five for Cox and a gain of 15 for Palmer. Feeble applause. All the pep is gone. Nobody cares a tinker's imprecation. Another ballot. Ohio says it will vote for Cox till the convention ad journs. Groans. Two days ago such an announcement would have thrown the galleries into a riot. Now it is taken in graveyard silence.
