an old newspaper and
.telling him to keep sending it un-
til further orders. He then
wrote up the wreck and was the
only man who could send the
story over the wire. This brought
him an offer, of a position on the
Cincinnati paper, where he be
came reported and editorial writ
er.
Later vouno- Cox was secretary
to Congressman Paul J. Sorg, in
which capacity he conceived a
taste for official life. His next
venture was with the help M Sorg
tobuy the run-down Daily News
in Dayton- This he made into a
live paper, after which he also
bought the Springfield Press
Republic and made a -new and
prosperous paper of it.
Having become established .as
an enterprising newspaper man
Cox next turned his attention to
politics. He was elected to con
gress in 1908 and re-elected m
1910. In 1912 he was made gov
ernor of the state. His program
of administration consisted in
getting enacted 56 progressive
measures, all of which are on the
statute books today. A law re
making the taxing system and
abolishing the old elective asses
sors displeased the farmers and
Cox wras defeated for re-election
Two yars later, however he had
his vindication and was returned
to the governor's chair. He was
elected for a third term on a "win
the war" platform- He was an
active supporter of the adminis
tration and an ardent friend of
the soldiers. Only one other
man, Rutherford B. Hayes, has
been elcted governor of Ohio for
three terms.
Cov. Cox is a member of the
United Brethren church, is fond
of outdoor sports and is a hard
worker. He has been married
twice-having been divorced from
his first wife. He has a married
daughter and two sons in schpol
His present wife was Miss Mar
garet Blair of Chicago, whom he
married in 1917. They have a seven-months-old
daughter, Anna.
Franklin D. Roosevelt ivas born
in the little village of Hyde Park
n Y., Jan 30, 1882. Though not
yet 39 years of age he has been
in public life for a number of
years- His first political exper
ience came wrhen he was drafted
by the Democrats of the 28th
New York state senatorial dis
trict to bea Senator J. F. Schtos
ser. He was successful, and was
re-elected. It is said that he
won the farmer vote by advoca
ting uniform apple barrels.
It was while he was still in the
state senate that he was appoint
ed assistant secretary of the navy.
This is a post of great responsi
bility and he has succeeded in
winning the confidence of Sboth
the administration and the offi
cers .of the navy- Mr. Roosevelt
is a distant relative of the late
Theodore Roosevelt, and he mar
ried Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, the
Colonel's niece. They have five
children.
The Democratic nominee for
the vice-presidency is a graduate
of Harvard university and of the
Columbia law school. 7 Before he
entered politics he was engaged
in the practice of law. He is u
member of the Episcopal church
and of a number of clubs in both
New York city and Washington.
Tennis is his chief sporting enthusiasm.
