S&n Francisco, July 6. James M. Cox, three times
governor of Ohib, wasjiominated for the presidency by the
democratic national convention in tne early nours ot this
mornlne, after breaking a deadlock which held the conven
tion through 44 ballots.
.The end came suddenly and dramatically at 1:40 a. m.,
at the close of a night session, which had witnessed the with
drawal of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and the slow
beating down of .William G. McAdoo, President Wilson's
son-in-law, by mere force of votes. , ,f ' f r , ,
, The nomination was. finally- accomplished by acclama
tion at the end of the 44th ballot and Governor Cox will go
into the official records as the unanimous choice of his party.

Actually at the time of his nom
ination the .Ohio -srovernor had
7Zl votes or ISyi less than the re
quired two-thirds vi the 'convention
votes. However, when, the motion
wa$. made to make his nomination
by acclamation, there were half a
dozen delegations clamoring for the
recognition of ' Senator .. Joseph' T.
Robinson, tbe chairman, in Order to
register changes in their votes,
whichj if they had been recorded,
would have given him a substantial
majority over, the required two
thirds... . . -.f
The end of the long: gruelling,
fight, which had its beginning Fri
day . night, - found the delegates
weary and heavy eyed from - lack
of sleep. For nearly 12 hours they
had sat in the hard seats of the audi
torium, keyed up to a high pitch
of) excitement, which had found, out
let a 'score of times in mad, nerve
racking demonstrations. v v
lwenty-two ballots . were taken
during the day and it was not until
midnight that any of them , gave
promise of developing' a, nominee. -
Nomination Wae Apparent ,
On the 43d ballot, after 'Palmer
had announced his withdrawal from
the face and released his delegates,
it became apparent; thai Governor
Cox would.be the . nominee It be

,fHE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1920.
lence; ' Robinson was pounding
madly with his gsvel and the table
was dancing under the force of his
blows.
"I move," yelled the Kansan, as
soon as he could make himself
heard, "I move that the nomination
of Governor James M. Cox be made
unanimous."
i Hall Became Quiet.
For a bare instant there was a
hush. Then the hall was thrown
into an uproar again by the yells
that came from the throats of the
10,000 delegates and visitors who
crowded the place.
For five minutes the uproar con-,,
tintied. "A parade had long since
started and into its -hilarious pro
cession went nearly every one. Rob
inson fairly ,shivered the table with
his rain of blows from the gavel.
When he succeeded in restoring a
semblance of order he put the mo
tion of the gentleman from Kansas
to the delegates. There was a roar
of "ayes" to his question and if
there were any noes they were Jost
in the booming chorus.
Things started breaking favorably
for Governor Cox-at the beginning
of the night session. Thirty-four
ballots had been taken up to that
time and on none of them had any
of the leaders shown any formidable
strength. McAdoo had passed Gov
ernor Cox on the 30th ballot in the
late afternoon. Veterans of the
Baltimore convention eight years
ago recalled significantly that it had
been on the 30th ballot at Baltimore
that Woodrow Wilson had passed
Champ Clark. It was a coincidence
that his son-in-law should now as
sume the lead on the same numer
ical ballot under-circumstances that
were almost identical.
Deadlocked at Dinnertime.
For six ballots McAdoo had the
lead, with Cox always close behind,
and trailing the two of them was
A. Mitchell Palmer. The big Penn
sylvania delegation, augmented by
Georgia's 28 votes and a scattering
of others, had kept the attorney
general always in the running.
When adjournment was taken
for dinner at the end of the 36th
ballot, party leaders and dejegates
were almost a unit in declaring the
situation was hopelessly dead
locked. Neither Cox nor McAdoo up to
that time had succeeded in . even
getting close to the 500 mark, let
alone the 728 required for nomina
tion. On the 37th and 38th ballots, after
the convention met in night session,
the situation remained probably the
same. McAdoo led on the 38th,
with 40S.5 votes.' Cox rolled 383.S
aijd Palmer 211.
Palmer Quits on Thirty-eighth.
Just after the official results of
the 38th had been announced C. C.
Carlin, the - Palmer "manager, took
the platform. He was introduced
by Chairman Robinson as a man
vho had an important announce
ment to make.
"I am instructed," he said, "by A.
Mitchell Palmer to inform those who
have supported him, that he greatly
appreciates their loyalty. Mr. Pal
mer, however, is unwilling to delay
the pioceedings further, and he has
authorized me to release the dele
gates pledged to him, so the next
president of the United States may I
be nominated here . tonight " . s
Carlin then mo"ved a 20 minutes
recess, in order to give he delegates
time to consider the 'matter. Within
two minutes after he finished speak
ing a dozen excited confererces were
going on ahout the floor. Theyone
big question was who was to' fall
heir to the Palmer strength. It was
partly answered on the next ballot,
the 39th.
Cox Gathers Votes.

Cox. The Palmer strcn?th in Geor
gia, Maine and Porto Rico was giv
en to McAdoo.
Palmer's own Pennsylvania dele
gation hung with him on the next
ballot as a parting measure of
respect. Later it gave a majority
to McAdoo until the final 44th bal
lot, when it switched to Cox.
, The inheritance of so much
Palmer strength again shot the Ohio
governor into the lead. He polled
468.5 votes on the 39th ballot, and
after that was never headed. Mo
Adoo had 444 on the same ballot
Gain Mounts Rapidly.
On the 40th ballot Cox went to
490. His strength acted as a magnet
and drew additional strength. Un
the 41st ballot he went to 497.5, on
the 42d he shot ahead to 540.5, on
the 43d he received 568, and on the
next and last he went over.
McAdoo kept close behind him on
the first two ballots after the
Palmer withdrawal, but the out
standing opposition of Tammany, of
JNew Jersey, Uhio, Massachusetts
and Illinois to his candidacy began
to make itself felt and in the end
it was these states which beat him.
Alone they could not nominate any
body, but their strength was sut
ficient to prevent anyone else get
ting; it. Most ot the delegates real
ized this fully, so that when the
Cox band wagon started it did not
lack for passengers. Ihe delegates
were tired. They wanted to go
home. They had fought for three
days over a platform, they had had
to cancel train reservations to re
make plans a half dozen times be
cause of the tights which have made
this convention the most spectacular
in years.
Then had come the balloting.
They had balloted and balloted with
no result except contusion and
feeling of being hopelessly deadr
locked.. Moreover, they had been in
their seats for' 12 hours lunchless.
smokeless and heartily tired of the
monotonous roll calls, which led
nowhere. A and wagon came along
and they climbed aboard, happy to
get on. - .

Dayton, O., July 6. Gov James
11. Cox, democratic presidential nom
inee, will go to Middletown, O., to
night to' receive the congratulations
of "home folks" there, with whom
he attended school and worked when
a young1 man.
Among the first .of the t.tmdreds
upon hundreds of telegrams of con
gratulation received today were ones
frcm President Wilson and Senator
Warren G. Harding, the republican
presidential nominee. Senator Har
ding wired: '
"I recall a much remarKe.i cartoon
which portrayed you and me as
newsboys contending for White
House delivery. It seems to have
been prophetic.
"As an Ohioan and a fellow pub
lisher I congratulate you on your
notable victory." '
Telegrams of congratulation also
were received from Senator Robin
son, permanent chairman of the
democratic national convention; Sen
ator Hitchcock, Senator Ppirerene,
William Cooper Proctot, who man
aged General Wood's pre-convention
campaign, and from former Gover
nor Campbell of Ohio.
Telegrams were arriving so fast
that several clerks were kept busy
opening them. No attempt was
made to answer them immediately.

that to center support on Cox, and
after all the tryouts had been com

Brennan Gets Congratulations.
It was Brennan upon whom the
congratulations were showered by
great and small after tho Cox nomi

was Brennan who caused the offer
to be made to McAdoo to take sec

patriotic and democratx duty, only
to have it spurned and it was Bren

up in the corner, told him he had to

Taris, July 6. American women
have so tamed American men that if
they told men to wear skirts they
would humbly obey.
American women have made
America the greatest country in the
world. The Americans superiority
in business would be imposible' if

Despite the fact that they do not

and his fellow democratic drys are
manifesting dissatisfaction with the
wetness of the ticket their party has
named. Alienation of dry Jeffer
sonians in the pioneer prohibition
states west of the Mississippi would
be likely to offset the gains the dem
ocratic leaders have been anticipat
ing in this territory from former
Bull Moosers, dissatisfied with the
nomination of Harding by the re
publicans. Cox and Roosevelt constitutes a
ticket which assures a desperate
struggle between the republicans and
democrats in Ohio and New oYrk,
particularly and to lesser extent in
Massachusetts and Illinois.
Route Payroll Brigade.
The wets and the antiadministra
tion democrats were fairly dazed by
the scope of the victory they had
won in this extraordinary conven
tion. Not only had they , routed the
payroll brigade of the administra
tion office holders with the enor
mous influnce they exerted, but they
had induced a convention two-thirds
dry to accept a candidate for presi
dent so moist that when Jim Nugent
voted New Jersey's delegates for
Cox he merely announced:
"New Jersey votes 28 wets."
It was a miracle that not even the
three guardsmen themselves had
any certainty in their own minds of
being able to perform up to an hour
before the nomination was made this
morning. Tammany had not been
instrumental in the nomination of
the party's candidate since Parker
was named in 1904 and even Boss
Murphy as late as midnight was not
convinced that a compromise on a
dark horse would not be necessary.
When they found the dry opposi
tion to Cox melting away cn the
last two ballots the big three fairly
hugged themselves for oy. Tam

the party wilderness for George
Brennan of Illinois, who in political
acumen and generalship had won
his spurs as the worthy successor of
