Cox or McAdoo could the Democrats hope for success in the No vember elections. , It so happened that most of the strong party leaders were Vned up with Cox, he sd. but eVen this backing would have been fruitless had not a number of independent delegations finally swung to the Ohioan. "The bosses' were licked." declared this politician, who Is by way . of being; "somewhat of a "boss" himself. "They put , everything they had behind Cox. but It was only when the delegates finally decided themselves that they wanted him that, he was nominated. This convention, to my mind, demon strated that' a group of independent delegates, acting practically without leadership, might have kept the conven tion deadlocked all summer. , v"The" Democratic nominee was decided upon about 2 o'clock in the morning, all right, but it was oat in the open, with, more than 1000 persons- men and women -sitting in and probably 10,000 others looking on."
