AMES M. COX, chosen after a long struggle to be the
11 democratic standard bearer, has made a record as gover--t"
nor of Ohio that has stamped him of presidential timber.
Hit election to that office for three terms marked him as a man
ot exceptional power, for Ohio is nominally a republican state.
Like Senator Harding, against whom he will run for the presi
dency, Governor Cox ia-an Ohio riewspaper man. i '
i l.-In 1898, Cox bought the Davton News. In 1903- he houo-ht
.tm' Springfield Press-Republic, forming ter the Springfield
Netis. These two papers now. constitute the News League of
whiphCox is owner and editorial director. ' ; t ' ;
! Cox represented the Third Ohio-district in congress from
Hf09 to 1913. In tha latter year he bgan tiis first term of gov-
wnar, his election as a democrat having been hailed by "republic
cans as an i'accident." In 1915 he was defeated for, re-election
bit: Frank B. Willis, republican. In 1917, however! Cox came
bak strong and wron the ejection over Yilli3 ' Li 1919'he was
again elected for a two-year term, T . ! ' .
?" Cox had barely assumed the duties of governor in 1913 when
the great floods of that spring inundated Dayton and the ValleyB
of the Miami and bcioto. The man who dominated the situation
following the floods was Cox. He assumed complete charge.
declared martial law. and in thre davs.'lurinr which he never
lefthis office, started the wheels of relief moving and had re
habilitation under way. . .., "
- During that series of disasters. Cox was "chief "magistrate,
commander-in-chief, head of the life-saving service,' provider of
food and clothing, principal health officer, severest disciplinar
ian; hardest worker, most hopeful prophet, sanest ' counselor,
kiaaest philanthropist and most accurate reporter,'? according to
jntemporary editorial writer. , ' , . : :
u, jjm cox wa3 one 0f tne firgj. jr0vernors in the nation to go
after profiteering. Long before any definite stand was taken by
federal authorities, Cox announced he would rUn down and pros
ecute every man found boosting unduly the cost-of ' foodstuffs
and life necessities. The campaign in Ohio became of national
importance, several other governors following suit.
sS' Governor Cox sponsored and secured passage of the Ohio
"workmen's compensation act which only recently was approved
by King Albert of Belgium as a model for the world.-. This act
eliminated all the major reasons for 'conflict between employer
and, employe by guaranteeing injured workmen and dependents
of those who lost their lives in line of duty, a sufficient indemnity
by Automatic action by the state. , c
Other things accomplished by Governor Cox during his three
terms are child labor laws that have been copied by other states;
4 mother's pension system; initiative and referendum; a scien
tific budget system ; a prison farm to provide healthy , occupa-
tion for convicts; elimination of sweat shops ;' a."bliie Sky" law
to protect Ohio investors a reform of the school system ; con
solidation of numerous state bureaus and abolition of others, and
many other laws designed to protect workmen and farmers.
$' Cox "never lets his interests drift. Even while conducting
th affairs of the state at Columbus, he has an eye on his two
neWs-papers and Often runs down to Dayton and Springfield to
confer with his editorial and business staffs, . .Sometimes he
writes an editorial or so while he is in the office and occasionally
helps out in the composing room when there is a rush to put the
pap.er "to bed."
Men call 'Jimmy1 Cox. Ohio's three.
time Governor, a "regular fellow."
Hean tell a good story and appre
elate hearing one. He Is a fair whist
player who enjoys the game most when
he Winn. . He is an epKBging eonver
sat tonal it.
But above all, James M. Cox lik.es
the outdoors. He. la an enthusiastic
fisherman and hunter. When he Is In
Dayton, almost any morning he may b
seen at sunrise taking a. brisk canter
over country roads near his farm,
nlone or accompanied by Afrs. Cox and
James. Jr. When In Columbus, he
tries to get In a round or so .of goli
every afternoon.
' His love of hunting Is lh reality a
love of hunting dogs. Nothing In re
cent years, has grieved him like the
tieath of old Tom, run down and killed
by an automobile a few weeks ago.
; Oovernbr Cox was 60 years old two
weeks ago. He is robust', Weighs about
"165 pounds and Is stockily built'..
Cox was developed In the hard
school of experience. Ills early educa
tion he got In the public schools.
When quite young he started to work
as a printer's devil, then taught school
became a newspaper reporter, was prl.
vate secretary to a congressman,
congressman for terms, became editor
and owner of ' two Ohio" daily news-
riapers, and finally was elected govern
or. Hia third term as governor will
end Ifi 1921.
Cox was born on a farm near Jack,
"sonbunr, Ohio, a few miles from Day.
'ton. , He spent his youth working on
the farm and (Attending school near
his home., j -j.

en th fellowtng letter to the Pendle
ton Commercial Association to repro
duce as' an evidence -of what irriga
tion is doing in the west end of Uma
tilla county. The letter is reprinted in
full. . .
STAKFT EU, Ore, July 3, Believ
ing that the (reneral public should
know something definite - as ' to the
value of irrigation as applied to the
arid lands of Umatilla eounty, I desire
to submit the following facts gained !
from my own experience and Investi
gation. - h
1 am at present tfwner or pari ot tne
Southwest quarter of section four.
Township three. North, Range twenty-
nine, B. w. M. '
This was sold In the year 1905 be
fore Irrigation was possible at five dol
lars per acre; ' ;
The value of this land today Is five
hundred and an per acre.
NY.W let us see what this' land Is
prodndnr. ' From twenty acres In hay
in 1919.' one hundred eeventy tons with
harvested' and a pasture crop to the
value of five dollars per acre, hay sold
in the stack on the land at a total
value of one hundred fifty-eight dol
lars per acre.
The first crop ot hay In 120 has
been harvested and weighed out over
wales amounting to sixty tons sold for
one thousand four hundred dollars or
S ; seventy-one dollars per acre and two
more crops and pasture crop sim m
reckoned with. '
I am merely giving these figures to
Justify the statement that this land Is
worth five hundred dollars per acre
under Irrigation against a vnlue of five
dollars per acre Ithrmt irrigation.
