In a bleak and dusty storeroom in Washington street, Chicago, hastily filled up a few hours after congress had declared war, says the Brooklyn Eagle, sat Margaret Blair at a switch board calling up scores and scores of women, urging them to report at once at the women's council * " 3 -Prvy Y17PV work. . ol defense <inu nuut aw* A few moments after the 44th ballot had been taken in San Francisco the. same young woman was again at a telephone, this time at Trail's End, near Dayton, Ohio, the country home of Gov.

"She was very happy and .very ex ' cited," Mr. Blair commented later, as frankly he wiped the moisture from his eyes. Naturally she would be. I was also. And I wished, as I hung up the receiver, that her mother . were still living." If the Democratic.choice for'president becomes the nation's choice in November, Mr. Cox will begin his administration as Madison and "Grover Cleveland began the:/, with a girlish wife as,his chief counsellor. Mrs. Cox, who is the only daughter of the president of the Blair Engineering company of Chicago is still on the youthful sic?e ot womannooa. Her father unblushingly announced her age as 29. "She s young to be a president's wife," he said seriously. Mr. and Mrs. Blair moved to Chicago from Pittsburgh when Mar1 1- -? o Ki Vi^r garetta, tneir aaugnier,.

Chicago society knows all about' the beauty and charm of Ihis distinguished young woman who was destined to be a belle from the days when as a child she romped about the garden paths of Cherry Farm and tore along the country roads near Elmhurst, a Chicago suburb, on her black pony. ** PloiV wns r>r>f? of the margin ci,ua juia^ ?z first of the young girls of CHicago to enlist for service during the war and she took the first job that came and performed it well. ? In 1912 Miss Blair was presented to Chicago, society and a year later it was rumored that she was to marry Carl Matz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Matz. The engagement was broken, and it was four years later that the popular Chicago belle became the bride of Ohio's governor.

Roosevelt, assistant sec- w retary' of the navy and Democratic ei candidate for the vice presidency, a received quietly but with elation the g< news that its favorite political son ! had been named as running mate to t; Gov. James M. Cox this evening. The H . Associated Press carried the. first ci ! news of his nomination to Mr. Roose' velt's residence, but attempts- to C communicate with his mother, Mrs. ! James Roosevelt, were unavailing, as ai [ she was out for the evening. a ' i Mr. Roosevelt first sprang into po- cc 'jlitical prominence in 1910 when ne 1 u< ; was drafted by the Democrats of the [ y< Twenty-eighth New York state sena- > 1 torial district, consisting of the?

Schlosser of Beacon, p< who was a candidate for reelection. n< : Roosevelt was .successful, rolling up, of > a majority of 356 in the Democratic j sa ' landslide which carried John A. Dix' ti< j into the governor's chair. One of1 r' the stories still told of Mr. Roose- tb ? velt's first campaign by local politic- jti< > ians is that he corralled the farmer' i vote by running on a platform which . advocated uniform apple barrels. > .!

He has never relinquished ci ' his deep interest in Hyde Park, how- " a ever, and is still one of its foremost ei ", citizens and one of the leading par- h< j ishoners of St. - James Episcopal la ! church which the Roosevelt family , has attended for years.
