Hailed as Candidate of tho People, Not of Plutocrats. Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 7.-Hailed as a candidate in whose selection "nei ther midnight combinations nor plu tocratic cabals were instrumental," Governor James M. Cox was formally notified to-day by Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, chairman of tho notifi cation committee, that he had been chosen by the Democratic National Convention as the party's Presiden tial nominee. "The convention reached its decis ion brough the exercise of untram melled judgment by th?? del?feat?s without lnd?c?rrierit or coercion from political bosses," the Senator said. "The- honor' and responsibility at tending this nomination came to you because your position respecting campaign issues is known to be in harmony with the platform adopted, and because the record of your pub lic service demonstrates rare leader ship." Sonator Robinson outlined the pro gressive legislative measures In Ohio which he said Governor Cox had se cured against opposition. Of the Ohio budget system, included in the Hst, lie said: "Tho measure has proved so sat isfactory to the Republican nominee that ho has declared for a similar system of co-ordinating national in come and expenditures." The Democratic platform was "clear and unmistakable" In its meaning as to the league of nations, the Senator said, while the Republi can platform on the subiect was "be yond tho power of the human mini to analyze or understand" and sus ceptible of various constructions. "Wo believe," he continued, "that the treaty should be ratified and that this country should co-operate will other governments which have en tered tho league of nations for the preservation of world peace. "The Republican nominee has de clared for defeat of the treaty and the rejection of tho league. He has made clear that It ie no longer a con troversy about reservations. It is proposed to restore peace by act of Congress instead of by treaty, and to .leave unsettled all the vexed and dif ficult questions growing out of tho war. It Is proposed to place Germany on an equal 'ooting with our govern ment in the negotiation of the treaty, to leave lier at liberty to reject our Just demands and to attempt to im pose upon us reasonable conditions." At another point Senator Robinson said lt was reported by the press that tho Republican nominees had agreed in conference "to base their cam paign primarily on the necessity of wresting tho government from what they term 'personal control and re storing 'party control.' This implies that other features of tho Chicago platform are to be subordinated to tho false Issue based on prejudice and misrepresentation that Prosidont Wilson performs tho role of dicta tor." Since the President's trip to Paris it has been tho policy of tho Republi can lenders to "assault him as an usurper," tho Senator declared, add ing that "this unjust campaign was eon ti nu tul in spite ol tho fact that for almost a year and a half the Presi dont has been too ill to perform, without great suffering, tho impera tive duties of his office." "It is proposed that tho nagging process carried on in ibo Senato shall be made tho chief manifestation of the Republican nominees of their fit ness for office," St itor Robinson said. "If tho Senate as a body had performed its duty half ns promptly ns tho President did his, tho world long ago would havo boon at peace." -Miss Rollo Barton, of Caesar's Hoad, N.
