COX RESTLESS TO
PLUNGE IN FIGHT
' By Albert Fl Baenzinger
Dayton, Ohio, July 8. it. N. a)-
Like the aoldler-who has caught the
smell of powder on the eVe of hattle
and is impatient to get Into the fray;
so Governor James M. Coxr Demo
cratic r presidential nominee, finds
himself tugging at the traces while
waiting to jump into the campaign
with all the . physical and mental
strength in his possession. f
The strain he v Is "laboring under was
demonstrated In his speech at the Day
ton Country ciub last night before -the
100 golfers participating in the . state
tournament here. , White -the - talk was
extemporaneous. Governor. Cox had ide-
liberately planned to make no reference
to politics and confine . himself to golf
entirely.- - w a
POLITICS AKB GOLF
Toastmaster Lee --Warren James,
president of the Dayton .Association of
Commerce, introduced Governor Cox as
the patron saint of the Ohio Golf as
sociation and - immediately connected
politics with the , meeting -J by adding
that the governor would ' be the patron
saint . of the United States next No
vember if, not defeated by Senator
Harding. ' .- - ' .
The presidential nominee- spoke of the
intimate relations existing between Sen
ator . Harding and himself as vfellow
newspaper -'publishers and golfers. He
recalled . the meeting of - the Ohio
Dailies association last winter, in
which tliey.both were proposed as the
respective candidates of the twou-par-tles,
and . added. . facetiously : !WhO
knows - but . what . the two editors and
golfers arranged the whole thing be
tween themselves and were playing the
game together." . r
COX XSJf HARDING FRIEXDS
He - then became serious and told
them that, regardless of what the re
sult would be in November, warren u,
Harding and ( he would be the same
good friends they have always been for
years. Then- followed a talk on the
same. ' -.r'-' --
A demand for a clear statement of his
stand on prohibition from Richmond P.
ftobson, .a leader of the prohibition
forces in the Democratic party, popped
out from among the jnumerous tele
grams of congratulation received today
by Governor James M. Cox, Democratic
presidential nominee. - .

ply and the governor announced it would
be given in due time, but would not Indi

he "nevecwas as ready, for a campaign"

he Is willing to stand by his record in

to that principle in government, then we

forced. That process will demonstrate its
wisdom or its weakness, and, if chance
