OF TIE ADMITS
Sn Francipco, July 7v? (U, F.J
"Jamee MCox was chosen as the Demo
cratic presidential nominee because Wil
liam G. McAdoo couldn't. be nominated,
and A. Mitchell Palmer couldnt be
elected." said a veteran politician to
day. He refused permission to use his
name, ''"-
He wen on to express the belief that
only 'with. 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." I '

lowing statement: '
.- "The - convention was a great success.
It reached its result in -a truly Demo
cratic maaner. - The forces, purposes and
opinions, represented by thet delegates,
had fully ' play and reached an uncon
trolled result. It was a hag, hard cen
test, but it leaves no scars and the
candidates will ha v th united support
of the party. Governor Cox is m pro
gressive, a man of courage and vision.

"He is a splendid campaigner and Is in
hearty accord with the purposes of the
administration. Under his virile leader
ship we shall conduct a vigorous and
aggressive campaign, and the principles
set -forth in our platform will find In
Governor Cox a champion not only of
fine; character and great ability but ene
who will be able to maintain the highest
standard of public discussion and put the
campaign on a plane which will be grati
fying to all patriotic citizens.
"Our vice presidential nominee, Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, is known and admired
throughout the country, and bis' selec

ticket. , vr- . -. '; . . - -" '-1
OLAB IHETC13lE WEST - ' -"""I
"want ' to"add . ta'at I am delighted
with San Francisco as a convention city.
San Francisco redeemed every promise
that was made in her behalf - and. in
many respects, far exceeded our expecta
tions. There were some who doubted the
wisdom of holding a national convention
on the Pacific slope. Actual experience,
however, has removed all doubt. - -"I
do not think there Is a delegate, or
alternate, who does not feel the great
est satisfaction in the fact that the
convention was held in this beautiful
city. - Mystic ties of affection will always
unite the Democracy of the nation with
the people -of California."
