THOUSANDS AT
HOMECOMING OF
GOVERNOR COX
Ceremonies at Dayton Attract
Huge Crowd Norn!.. ee and
Wife Almost Mobbed
By Admirers.
By ROBERT B. SMITH.
Ctilrago Tribune-Omaha Bn Leased Wire.
Dayton, O., July 31. Dayton
knocked off work 0:1 cash registers
and airplanes Friday dressed up in
its holiday togs and. along with the
rest of the Miami valley, devoted it
self wholeheartedly to rejoicing offi
cially over the honor that has come
to its favorite son, "Jimmie," alias
James M. Cox, democratic nominee
for the presidency.
Twelve thousand persons, exceed
ing in number the estimates even of
the Chamber of Commerce, marched
past the reviewing stand to show
Governor Cox how proud they were
of him. For three hours, the gover
nor sat in a blistering sun and
watched his townsmen march by
and yell "Hurray for Jimmie."
There were floats depicting the gov
ernor's childhood days, jazz orches
tras, glee clubs, a score of bands and
airplanes swooping overhead and
dropping bombs, prominent citizens,
newsboys and brother Elks, all do
ing honor to the democratic nomi
nee. There was nothing "put on" about
the enthusiasm of the occasion.
VVhen the last man in the parade
filed by the reviewing stand, the
crowd threw off all restraint and
rushed to shake hands with their
friend and neighbor, "Jimmie." The
policemen couldn't hold them back.
The governor and Mrs. Cox, in the
reviewing stand, were literally
mobbed. They tried to meet the
avalanche of outstretched hands for
a while and then looked about for
means of escape.
Take Refuge in Jail.
The county jail appeared to be
the nearest sanctuary. They gained
the entrance and the iron bars rang
behind them.
"Well," gasped the governor, mop
ping his brow, "this is the first time
I have ever been driven to jail to es
cape my friends."
He looked out through the bars
and addressing the clamoring multi
tude said:
"I appreciate your feelings and as
sure you that as long as I live I
shall remember this day and shall
attempt to justify the confidence you
have placed in me. I bid you good
afternoon and invite you to come to
see me in Washington."
All of Dayton and its Miami val
ley suburbs turned out to celebrate
the governor's nomination. Repub
licans cast off their partisan preju
dices and joined in making the event
a civic jollification.. Governor Cox
came out of his seclusion at Trail's
End for the first time in a week and
motored to Dayton to accept his
townsman's congratulations. It was
estimated that no less than 100,000
persons lined the route of the pa
rade. Pleased With Newsies.
The sections of the parade which
pleased the governor most was the
"newsies' " division. It was made up
of hundreds of the boys who carry
and sell Cox's newspapers, The
News, in Daytonand in Springfield.
"Hurrah for the boss!" the boys
yelled, as they passed the reviewing
st;nd. Cox waved at them and
smiled broadly.
"Hurrah for Jimmie!" some of
them shouted.
They carried many banners. One
of them read:
"We deliver the goods so does
Jimmy."
Another banner carried by the
newsies bore the inscription:
"Easy sledding in November
we're for Fighting Jimmie."
."Be Coxsure," read another of the
newsies' slogans.
"No kicks on Jimmie's route," read
another.
Delegations from a number of
lodges marched by carrying banners:
"In honor of Brother Cox." There
were girls' glee clubs and orchestras
on auto trucks passing the review
stand singing Ohio, the Cox song
at San Francisco. Scores of big
Dayton concerns had floats carrying
everything from mermaids to cigars
and bearing banners: "Congratula
tions to Jimmie.
Floats Represent Rise.
1 An important section of the parade,
consisted of floats representing the
governor's rise to fame. The first
showed his birthplace, a humble farm
home. Another represented him toil
ing away as a reporter on a small
country newspaper, and finally be
coming publisher of the Dayton
News. The last of the series was a
reproduction of the White House,
showing Cox already occupying it.
Another interesting float contained
an electric printing press in full op
eration. It was busy publishing a
miniature newspaper, copies of which
were scattered through the crowd. -
"A printer for the White House,"
was the inscription . on the side of
the printing press float.
The governor had not intended to
make a speech, but the clamor of the
crowd weakened his resolution..
"Nothing could induce me not to
say a few words to you, because my
heart, is so full of gratitude," he
said. "I would feel ungracious not
to say something in appreciation of
This testimonial from the men and,
women with whom I have lived for
20 years. I just said to a gentleman
who lives in -Washington that it
seemed to me a reflection of the in
telligence and good judgment of any
man who gave any indication of a de
sire to leave Dayton.
"Yet, somehow, I have a feeling
that I am going to reside in Wash
ington in a house that you your
selves own and as a public tenant of
your property. I promise to take
good care of it. I recognize the
friendly spirit of the old friends and
neighbors who greet me here and yet
I sense something stirring itliin
you that speaks the devotion of the
great mass to our institutions of gov
ernment. "You are interested in the distinc
tion that has fallen on a fellow
townsman, but you have a greater in
lerest in the possession of a govern
ment which has every four years a
presidential campaign. I see men
here who have followed my standard
far 10 years.

PRESS AGENTING
FAKIRS CURBED
BY N,Y. ATTORNEY
False Stories for Publicity
Purposes Exploded When
Prosecutor Begins
:... ligation.
New York, July 31. (Special.)
District Attorney Swann has dug up
a law which he says will curb press
agent "faking." He has issued sub
poenaes for five persons concerned
m one of the most recent fakes
which caused the police to drag the
Central park lagoon for the body of
a Japanese film actress, who the
next day appeared on the screen on
Broadway.
O'Hanlon found among the be
longings which the press agents had
"planted" at the hotel Pennsylvania
the suicide letter of "Miss Yaki,"
which had been conceived as a front
page sensation. The detective un
wittingly spoiled the campaign of
the publicity men by putting the let
ter in his pocket and keeping it out
of the papers. The concocting of
This letter, according to District At
torney Swann, if forgery in the third
degree, according to section 3, chap
ter 889 of the penal code, which
says:
"A person who shall knowingly
alter or shall cause, aid, abet or
otherwise connive at, or be a partv
to the miking, altering, forging or
counterfeiting of any letter, tele
gram, report, or other written com
munication, paper or instrument
purporting to have been written or
signed by any other person, or anv
paper purporting to be a copy of
any such paper or writing, where
no original existed, which said let
ter, telegram, report or paper or
paper purporting to be a copy
therefor of aforesaid the person al
tering the same shall know to be
false, forged or counterfeited, and
by the uttering of which the senti
ments, opinions, conduct, characters,
prospects, interests or rights of such
other person shall be misrepresented
or otherwise injuriously-affected, is
guilty of forgery in . the third de
gree." This is a misdemeanor, punishable
by a year's imprisonment and
$10,000 fine.
The district attorney also called
attention to a law passed by the last
legislature, and effective September
1. One provision reads:
"Any person who knowingly and
wilfully states, delivers, or transmits
by any means whatever to any man
ager, editor, publishers or reporter,
or any other employe of a publisher
of a newspaper, magazine, publica
tion or periodical or serial any false
and untrue statement of fact con
cerning any person or corporatioi
with intent that the same shall be
published, is guilty of a misde
meanor." No Dip In Pool for
