Y., July G.-The lit tio vIllage of Hyde Park, birthplace and summer residence of Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy and Democratic cae.didate for the vice presidency, received quietly but with elation the niews that its favor ite political son had been named as running 'mate to Gov. James M. Cox this evening. The Associated Press carried the first news of his nomina tion to 'Mr. Roosevelt's remlence, but attempts to ermmunicate with his mothl', Mrs. .James loosevelt, were unavailing, os Ohe was out for the ',venfng. Mr. Roosevelt first sprang into po litical prominence in 1910 when he was drafted by the Democrats of the Twenty-eighth New York state sena torial district, consisting of the coun ties of Dutchess, Putnam and Colum bla, in an effort to defeat Senator John F. Schlosser of Beacon, who was a candidate for 'reelection. Roosevelt was successful, rolling up a majority of 356 in the Democratic landslide 'which carried John A. Dix into the governor's chair. One of the stories still told of Mr. Roosevelt's first cam paign by local politicians Is that he corralled the farmer vote by running on a platform which advocated uni form apple barrels. Mr. Roosevelt was reelected in 1912, but resigned his seat on March 17, 1913, to accept the appointment as as sistant secretary of the navy. His most famous exploit in the state sen ate was his leadership of the insur gents who opposed the election of William F. Sheehan to the United States senate. After three months' deadlock James A. O'Gorman was elected with Mr. Roosevelt's concurrence. Since Mr. Roosevelt's appointment to the navy department he has spent most of his timc In Washington, re turning during the sumtmer months and on holiday trips to visit his moth. er.
