While the hand played "Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot'" Dele jgates from every state stood on their chairs and cheerod the name of 1 James M. Cox of Ohio, the party's standard hearer in the desperate aud disastrous battle of four years ago. It was a personal tribute unorganized 1 and ungulded. conveying the grat t itiide of democrary for the aggres sive fight of the former Ohio gov ernor to stem the mighty republican [tide of 1 920. Ohio led the demonstration, which lasted for a quarter of an hour after Ook'h name bad been placed in nom ination for the Presidency by New ton linker. President Wilson's war time Secretary of War. who himself ? received a warm-hearted welcome I and aroused repeated applause by his praise for Wilson policies and the League of Nations. Declaring that former Governor James M. Cox. of Ohio "became a national figure at that moment In 1920 when only a few had the vi? i Ion to see or the courage to follow I the new faith ? the new political re ligion of Woodrow Wilson," Newton I). Haker. secretary of war in Presl i dent Wilson's cabinet, today placed ] Cox's name in nomination for the | presidency. ] "Without hesitation or wavering he fought the long 1920 campaign debating with our doubt, appealing to-our higher emotions, battling back [the ti?ie of Ills which, rising out of the chaos of the world, finally In cluded us with the peoples of Europe as the chldron of despair," Mr. Bak er told the convention. "Since that campaign, his dedica tion to the cause has remained com plete* Mr. Haker said. "He has de | voted the intervening year to serious ! study In the old world and this. Ho i has sought for those reasons, his ; torlc, traditional, permanent or tem I porary, which brought about our act I of discouragement at the moment of I our might. With pen and might with i growing poWer of enthusiasm and of 1 knowledge, he has as a private citi zen. sought to inspire us to better and higher thinking, and Juster and I more enduring policies. Thus Ohio I feels that hpr son. once only her i favorite, has become the nation's fav orite.
