COX NOTIFIED OF NOMINATION.
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."

VOTE FOR
J. G. SHOCKLEY FOR SUPERVISOR
AND HELP ME TO II KIA? OCONEE
GET GOOD HOADS.
West Union, S. C., July 29, 1920.
To Every Citizen of Oconee County,
Sou til Carolina:
As I am in the race for Supervisor
of our county, I desire that every ono
of you should know what I propose
to do if I am elected:
1st. 1 shall call upon tho citizens
in each one of tho seventy-six school
districts to meet at their own school
houses, and there elecL one man
who is willing and capable of being
your road worker, and whom you will
co-operate with in working the pub
lic roads in your own district. When
you shall have selected your man,
then I will equip him with the neces
sary tools and machinery and appoint
him to lend in this important work.
This will enable mo to appoint sev
enty-six good men, which will mean
sevonty-six wforklng .squads, who can
all bo working the roads at the same
time.
I also mean to see that all of tho
taxes for road purposes sholl be ex
pended in the district from which
they art paid. Then I will take the
chain gang and move from one dis
trict to another, building tho bridges
and doing tho heavier work in oaeh
district where it is needed most for
the convenience of the traveling pub
lic.
Xow, fellow-citizens, wo must, ns
early as we possibly can do lt, have
neat sign boards put up at all of the
intersecting roads, or cross roads, in
our county, showing where the roads
load to. This is very important and
will be a great convenience.
As t have had thirty years' experi
ence in working men, building roads
and bridges, etc., I feel qualified to
be your leader and servant In this
important work, for 1 am deeply in
terested in onr county's welfare.
I will appreciate your votes on
election day, and if you will pledge
me your advice and hearty co-opera
tion if 1 nm elected, and with your
assistance we will succeed in having
the very best roads possible under ?
system of efficient, economic, practi
cal road working.
Yours for better roads for Oconee
county-first, last and always,
(adv.) J. C. SHOCKLEY.
