ABOUT THE NOMINEE
Believing that our readers would
be interested to know just how the
* ' nomination of Governor Cox for president
is "striking the people over the
country, The Press and Banner is,
commencing today, reproducing edi-|
torials from some of the leading pa-J
pers of the country. A good idea of,
. how people in different sections, and
with different viewpoints, regard the
nomination will be acquired from
reading these editorials:
????
The New York Times (Dem.) and
. , a supporter of the Wilson * administration,
says the following editorially:
|
The Cause and the Candidate. I
The Democrats enter the campaign
with a candidate worthy of the noble
and compelling cause whlcn they'are
resolved shall triumph through their
victory at the polls. Their platform,
their purpose, their candidate are in
harmony. They seek goocr government
and sound administration at
%
home and such an advance loward^the
moral regeneration of the world as
may be attained by the efforts of
brave and sincere men unselfishly de
voted to the principles they profess.
In the platform they adopted at San
Francisco they declare that "the
Democratic Party favors the League
! of Nations as the surest, if not the
only, practicable means or maintaln
ing the premanent peace of the
insuffe.-able burden of great military
and naval establishments." In a com*
prehensive discussion of the questions
of the day written especially for The
New York Times by Governor James
M. Cox and published in its issue of
May 23, he says: "If public opinion
in the country is the same as it is in
Ohio, then there car. be no doubt
that the people want the League of
Nations, because it seems to offer
the surest guarantee against war.'' I

went upon the great issue, tnere is a
candidate fully committed to support
of the party's position, candidate
and platform confront a rival candidate
who", in the Senate, vowed un-'
swervingly with the partisan group]
* cipppsed to the ratification of the(
Treaty, and a r?val platform adopted^
at Chicago in which that group of thef
Treaty's enemies is commended for,
Its successful resistance to the adop- 1
tion of the plan for preserving the
peace of the M[orld. The opposing par-( 1
ties have taken their positions, the '
field is ready for that "great referen- !
dum" which the President said must 1
decide whether the United States 1
Bhall withhold'its aid from this de-- 1
sired consummation. , j
The Democratic Party enters upon '
nc defensive campaign. Defense,
apology, palliation, all this rails , to
the lot of the Republicans. The Democrats
are powerfully armed in the
simple justice of their cause. They
r.re resolute in spirit, in *the nomination
of Governor Cox they hav? a
uniting candidacy, by every circumstance
of preparation ancr organization
they are equipped for the combat,
they will joy in the fight and are .
vastly more confident of triumph than
it could have been predicted three
months ago that they would be.
Governor Cox combines notable
elements of strength as a candidate.
He is a rftan of the people, that fine
type of the successful American man
of affairs who has risen from humble
beginnings by his own una:tfed industry,
native ability and sound judgment
to the possession of a competence
and to high offices. In his
( wn community, in his own slate, he
scands well; there is no better test
nt 'otinfactpr Pnlitieallv. his streneth
has beenr demonstrated; carrying the
important State of Ohio in elections
has become a habit with him. Three
times he has been chosen Governor,
and he has justified the confidence of
his fellow-citizen by efficiency in the
administration of their public affairs.
In his first term as Governor, a bud%
v
I
I
get system was adopted which saved
the State cf Ohio millions or dollars
a year; even under the strain of war
expenditure there was no increase of
taxes, no resort to new sources of
revenue. He was a great war Gov-'
ernor. His State was always ready to
meet the demands made upon her cnd^
his executive and organizing capacity
were exhibited in many works auxiliary
to the purposes of the war. His
initiative and his influences contributed
to the enactment of salutary
laws for workmen's compensation,
the regulation of child la^or, and the
great betterment of the State schoo |
system. He was a member of the Six
ty-first and Sixty-second Congresses
and served on the Appropriations
Committee of the House. He has. been
i
remarkably successful in his own
calling as a newspaper editor and. pro-j
prietor, and has had experience in
public affairs quite beyond the aver- |
age cf candidates for the "residency.
The Democracy has followed a his-|
toric custom and practice In choosing
I the Governor of a great State for the
head of its locket.
The breadth and soundness of Gov!
ernor Cox's views, the habit of his
mind' in reaching conclusions upon
public questions of moment, may be
'judged by the artide already referred
to which he prepared for The Times,
and which is republished in full upon
this page today. Upon tne great issue
(f the League of Nations, Governor
Cox holds opinions which are embodied
in this suggested lnterpreta?
7~ - i
tion of the functions of the League
which in his judgment would be a
sufficient reservation accompanying
the ratification of the Treaty:
In giving its assent to this Treaty,
the Senate has in mind the fact that
the League of Nations which it embodies
was devised for the sole purpose
of maintaining peace and-comity
among, the nations of the earth and
preventing the recurrence of such destructive
conflicts as that through |
which the world has just passed. The
co-operation of the United States with
the League and its continuance as a
member thereof will naturally depend
upon the adherence of the League to
that fundamental Durnose.
To this he would add a clause explaining
the understanding of 'this
Government that the League "must
at all times act in strict Harmony
with the terms and intend of the
United States Constitution." It ' is
our judgment that tovany mind not
hostile to the League, or so nostile to
the President that it could not toler?i
ate any work in which he nad a part,
reservations in this stfnse s?ioij&d be
ST v i
sufficient and satisfactory. At any
rate, it is upon the League issue thus
presented by the candidate and by
the platform that the fight is to be
made; the-people will judge between;
destructive amendments anc friendly
interpretations.
Governor Cox is a business man.|

bors; by all who know them. Neither
of them has any radical inclinations.
It is of the best augury for the fu- ,
ture .of "this nation that tnere Is no (
taint of radicalism in either platform.) (
No American, whether he be engaged i
in big business or in small imsiness,!
whether he be a toiler for wages or

fear that in the coming four years
the foundations of credit wiii be disturbed
by White House policies or

great difference between the two candidates,
a difference in their antecedents,
in their environment Governor
Cox Would never be callec a reactionary.
That imputation has already
been made against the other candidate.
His nomination resulted from
operations of the Senatorial cabal at
Chicago; it is known that he was the
choice of the elements that are most
dominating and reactionary in the
Republican Party. There is a very
great probability that, should he be [
elected, the party would revert to its!
old habits, to that general Bourbon
attitude toward public questions
which it exhibited in the administration
of President Taft, a much ablerj
man than Senator Harding; to that j
state of mind which looked upon the'
comfortable days of high tariffs and'
special privileges as the true golden1
age and upon suggestions or advance'
and thange as abominable; to that
political philosophy and practice
which, in short, put it in the power
of Colonel Roosevelt to break up his
party. j
Very different will be the outlook if
Governor Cox becomes President. He
is no champion of privilege any more
than he is an apostle of revolution.'
He is a man of affairs, of the soundest
common sense and good judgment.1
In time of peace he would do away
with war taxes and, like Mr. Tilden,
substitute for them revenues sufficl
ient for the expenditures of Goverhment
economically administered, fie
would remove the excess profits tax, I
which burdens business ami adds to
the household Jbills of every home in
the country, and replace it by a light,
tax "on the volume of business of
going concerns, which has been estimated
to yield $2,000,000,000 a year.
He would repeal inheritance taxes,
since the process of transferring
property from one generation to another
is safeguarded by the State, not
by the Federal Government. He
would do what is possible to make
farming more attractive, to counteract
the unhealthy tendency of youth
everywhere to seek the cities, of labor
to covet factory employment. His
mind surveys the whole national field
and he would take counsel with the
wisest how and where Government
Al&Mon*ir nnnlrl Ka Koaf Hp
has made an enemy of no class, for
he is a national man; ije comes naturally
and deservedly to tne rank of
a national figure. With such a candidate
upon a platform whlcn even Re-'
publicans have found to We iifmany
ways sound and admirable, a declaration
of principles to which no Demo-j
crat can take exception, and having,
passed through the fires of convention}
strife without bitterness or. lasting'
resentment, the Democrats, if they
will make the campaign in the spirit
in which they started it, may be unusually
confident of victory.
