Little Anna Cox ihas wrought con
sternation in the "Jimmie" Cox
household at Dayton,;, Ohio, where
her daddie runs the Dayton News
and is governor of the state, not to
mention being Democratic nominee
for presidency of the United States.
The fact of the matter, as reported
by Elton Watkins, .j proxy jmember of

turned from the notification ceremonies,
is that Anna is right in ttie midst of

"And when Cox comes to1 Oregon he
will bring several surprises," Watklna
declares. "First, he will shatter the
general idea that he is a big man phy
sically. 'I i ' 4i '
"Cox looks more like A. Bj Clark than
anyone I can call to mind, and in
stature he is almost a counterpart of
Senator Chamberlain. He j has . a big
nose but is, nevertheless, a , handsome
man." For speech making he hasn't "a
contemporary peer. He pounds out his
facts after the Theodore Roosevelt
fashion, and 'foregoes eloquence of the
Bailey order for cold, hard; logic force
fully presented." j
One place where Governor Cox will
shine-in the West will be among news
papermen. There the candidate is at
home. Watkins reports, an news writ
ers may be assured a reception.
"At the notification luncheon at Cox
beautiful home the committee was about
to be seated when Cox espied news Writ

A brisk breeze Friday afternoon
helped to temper the otherwise tor-,
rid heat anil was probably responsi
ble for one degree less of heat reg
istered at -.-the .-'weather bureau than
on Thursday afternoon.
y At 1 o'clock the tern perature was 92
above, as compared with 93 at the same
hour Thursday, and Acting Meteorologist
(ii)lam expressed the 'opinion that the
tentperature might miss the high point
of 98 registered Thursday,' by several
degrees, ';;;-:';;.- 1;.-.
It was hot enough on Broadway Fri
day afternoon to satisfy' the most ex
acting heat lover, but the terrific stifling
heaf wavea of Thursday r were missing.
The breeze ' from , the' northwest, even
when the day's heat was approaching
the' maximum, was almost cooling.
WARMER IJT 3IOR5lU
From'Ji ujitil 7 o'clock Friday morning
the temperature was almost stationary
at 70 degrees. By 7 o'clock it was 72.
At- 8 o'clock Friday morning It Was
73 above, as opmpared with 72 at the
same hour Thiirsday.7
The lowest temperature of the past 24
hours occurred at 6 :10 this morning
when . the thermometers at the yeather
bureau registered 70. j - .
Much of the heat of Thursday lingered
in the air, setting the istage well for an
other stiff heat period! Friday afternoon.
The weather man holds out no promise
of relief in the next 24 hours.
' Portland passed through- one ' of its
few sweltering nights: Thursday. With
the evening the breeze increased, but it
did not seem to groy cool until early
morning. , , . j .-7 :
