THE OREGON DAILY JOU RNAL, PORTLAND, . OREGON I II SLIGHT HOPES FOR COX IN CONTEST TUESDAY, JULY ,6, IZ2X EW YORKER SAW nim (Continued From Ve On.) days, with three leading candidates, on f the three wu finally chosen and the many dark horses who have been wait ins; at the sate from the day the conven tion opened, were left to seek other pas tures green. ; Th Ohioans call him Jimmy Cox, their faithful, and their always apparent ad- miration fer. him was a -factor in his nomination. Their loyalty was so patent that It became more or lass epidemfc in the convention. The 28 wet delegates -. from New Jersey wanted him and the Irish dlrr) from Mautahuatt -and , T most of them seemed to be Irish did ot want anybody who had anything to do with the Wilson administration, HEW YORK AGAIXST M'ADOO Jn the entire balloting, two votes is the most they ever save McAdoo. The wet delegates in New Yosk and in the group of states around . New York and the Murphy delegates didn't want - McAdoo, who was indorsed bv the anti-saloon r'leag-ue. These and numerous southern delegate who were in the same boat circulated -about the convention hall last night with a printed slip saying a Cox speech was used In Ohio as a campaign document in the fight against prohibi tion. It also contained a letter by liquor men approving Cox, as a candidate for governor, The ' bone dry voter who In sists that prohibition, though in full ef fect. Is still a national issue, will have to hold his nose and vote his sentiments, for,, if all acounts be true, Harding is even a wetter candidate than Cox. An other factor In the nomination was a lot of small caltbred gentlemen who thought they were" also presidential candidates. . Some of them would have made good ' town mayors.. They certainly were not i presidential timber. But they sewed up state delegations and held them but of the fight until the convention got tired of tho, foolishness and - determined to make a nomination and go home. A' convention sometimes gets away from its li would be leaders and goes on a rampage, and that is exactly what happened to why. Governor Cox is the nominee. ; The Ohio delegates insist that Cox will Cf.rry. both Ohio and Indiana against Harding, and that he will be elected. That he is a good man, an able man and a popular man must be -true, because of the affectionate Interest' with which the men of his own state urged his candi dacy and the seal by which they finally brought about his nomination.- The- Oregon delegation died In their trenches. "They held their lines-as or dered by their instructions la the Oregon primaries, and set an example in obedi ence to the people's will that may well be followed by future- delegations in Ore gon. When the struggle . was strong against them they brought many a cheer from the galleries as they heard Chair man Stevenson's regulation announce ment. "10 votes for McAdoo," The Oregonlans are all leaving for home on ' special cars tonight. ' As to a choice between a Shrirters' convention -and a national party convention, one of the former-is worth a dosen of the latter. It's more fun and less work. s Hoodlums Fined and Jailed for Insults tEo i8-Year-01d Girl ?Such hoodlums as you young men are a menace to every decent woman in Portland." said Judge Rossmatr this morning In Imposing?
