INUia-ENDKNCEENME Subscription Rates One Year Six Months 75 COX GETS NOMINATION James Middloton Cox of Ohio Is the democratic nominee for presi dent. It required 44 ballots to de cide the question, with McAdoo ana Palmer the closest contenders. Cross-milline characterized the convention, with the administration back of McAdoo; Bryan insisting upon a dry candidate and Cox fav ored by the wets. Like" Harding, the republican nom inee, Cox is an Ohio newspaper man and has occupied a prominent pari in Ohio public affairs for many years. Summarized, his record showB a busy life. Born on an Ohio farm in 1870. His early training- was in the public schools, then a printer's dev il, a school teacher, private secre tary, reporter and finally the owner of two newspapers. His political career started in 1909, when he was elected congress man from the third Ohio district and served. two terms. In 1913 he was elected governor of Ohio on a record plurality of 166,823; was de feated for re-election, but in 1916 was again placed in the governor's chair. Cox has always been strong in the Ohio political field. He is not re garded as a progressive of the Wil son type, although he has been re- snonsihlA for considerable desirable t 1 legislation in his home state. It is rather a unique situation to have both the democraic and repub lican nominees from Ohio and both newspaper publishers. It is prob able that the selection of Harding by the republicans was a factor in mak ing Cox the democratic standard fcearer. Talk of a third party is becoming quite incessant, and it is possible that some one will be nominated who is regarded as more progressive than either Cox or Harding. How ever, such a candidate would have little chance of winning. All indications point to a lively campaign. Cox will have the sup port of old time democracy with the possible exception of Bryan and some of the radical dry men but in order to win h0 must capture many voters who profess the republican belief. He will get some wet voters outside of his party and will lose some of the radical dry within his party. Buena Vista Ernest Moe of McMinnville was a week end visitor with home folks.

Here's Service For You Gilroy, California, May 13, 1920 Chevrolet Motor Company, Oakland, Calif. Dear Sirs: In reply to your favor of the 12th: Several years ago we pur chased through Mr. R. M. Thomas of this city a "Chevrolet Four-Ninety" Roadster and at the same time pur chased an interchangeable light de livery body and have used it as a delivery car ever since; giving it the hardest kind of usage, with all kinds of drivers and we frankly confess that the service we have had has been marvelous. At times we have carried loads up to a ton in weight. In spite of this and other abuses our repair bill has been extremely small and the car has been very economical in the way of tires, gasoline and oil. ,We were so well pleased with the service we had on this little car that we have recently purchased through the same source one of your 1 Ton Trucks, although the little delivery car is still ir daily use. We congratulate you on tne manu facture of what we consider he most s-erviceable and reliable car on the market, cost considered. Truly, eROW'S NURSERIES. More Than Her Mouth.
