Ohio governor was in third place. H*
soon passed Palmer, however, and on
the twelfth ballot went ahead of Me
Adoo. Then began a set-oawing be

which at the end of the thirty-ninth
roll call at midnight found two vir
tually the same.
On lite foi t> ?second ballot the ? ac
cession of most of the Palmer stren

after that great and little State dele
gations went into the Cox column in
a procession. On the forty-third he
got a majority for the first time of all
the votes cast and on the forty-fourth
he was plunging toward the requires
two-thirds when Colorado changed its
vcte to him and made tne nomination
obvious. It was made unanimous on
motion of Sam B. Amidon, of Kansas,

Franklin Roosevelt, of New York,
Assistant Secretary of tl^e Navy, was
nominated for vice president to<Jay
by the Democratic national., conven
tion and became the rntuiliig mate o?
Governor James M. Cox, of Ohio.
Democratic nominee foi* ;pr<toid4ht.
The first cries of "Cox^and Roose
velt" rang through the Convention
hall and were mixed with the tthouts
of the vote of acclamation, by which
Le was nominated without a ballot.
Despite disinclination of the Tam
many organization to accept him,
l.oosevelt's name went over with a
band wagon movement during which
~ m ? s? <Hsi? ?
.Tames Hamilton TLewIs, of Illinois,
was withdrawn early by former Gov
ernor Dunne; Governor Stewart, of
Montana, and Former Governor HaW- j
loyv of ldaho, were withdraws, and,

not^be a contender, as did David R
Francis, of Missouri. Nomination of
W. T, Vaughan, of Oregogn. who had
received the state primary endorse
ment, was changed into a second (br
? the successful nominee.
? Colby's Name Considered. '
Btinbrldge Colby, Secretary of Sta
te, who was endorsed as a candidate
and refused to allow his name td be
used, finally was urged to consent If
fce should be "drafted." As it turned
out the Tammany ft row d decided to
accept RoosevelCwHo brought tcr the
Uctest the participation of an adminis
tration man and Mr. Colby's name
was not considered further.
Mr. Roosevelt was placed in nomi
nation by Timothy L. Ansberry, a for
mer representative from Ohio, who
sat as a Cox delegate in the District
of Columbia deltffatlon. 8econds
sprang from all pafta of the conven
tion hall, and although Roosevelt vii
not formally nominated until well af
ter the (witness of nomination wag
taken up, there was never any doubt
about It and never at any time wa?
there any opposition. The seconding
of his nomination by Governor Smith,
of New York, from the Tammany del
egation, clltifched it
