UNANIMOUSLY SELECTED DEMOCRATIC
STANDARD BEARER WHEN FORTY
FOURTH BALLOT DISCLOSED STAM
PEDE TO COX AND CONVENTION TOOK
RECESS TILL NOON TODAY WHEN VICE
PRESIDENT WILL BE NOMINATED D
San Francisco, July 6 James M. Cox, Gov
ernor of Ohio, was nominated for President by
the Democratic Convention at 1:40 o'clock this
morning.
Nomination came at the conclusion of the forty-fourth
Lallot as the climax of the struggle in which Cox had beaten
clown the forces of William Gibbs McAdoo.
When the ballotting on the
forty-fourth showed the vote
at a point where Cox had 702
votes and was rapidly approach
ing the necessary two thirds, or
729 votes, Sam B. Amidon of
Kansas, manager of the McA
doo forces, took the platform
and moved that the nomination
of Cox be made unanimous.
Immediately there was a!
roar from the tired and worn :
delegates which lasted lour min
utes before Chairman Roberts
could put the question on the
motion to suspend rules and
make the motion by acclama
tion. The motion was formally vot-
ed over with a rolling chorus'
of ayes and the crashing of !
brass bands as state standards
raced to the front of the hall j
to a place before the platform,
In the confusion and excite
ment the convention forgot all
about the Vice Presidency; but
leaders were figuring on a list
which included Assistant Sec-;()f
retary of the Navy Roosevelt.
Adjournment was arranged
till noon to-day.
On the forty-third Cox got a
majority, the first candidate to
receive a majority in this con
convention. The situation re
recalled the memorable fight
between Wilson and Clark
eight years ago. Louisiana
broke solid to Cox on this bal
lot while Virginia left Glass, di
viding her vote between the
leaders.
On the forty-second ballot
the' Georgia delegation, which
had been voting for McAdoo
since released by Palmer, threw
that state's twenty-eight votes
to Cox.
Carter Glass having released
his delegates, Virginia broke
on the thirty first ballot, scat
tering her votes, Glass retain
ing twelve of them, however.
Virginia's twenty-four bal
lots, however, went solidly
back to Carter Glass in the j
forty-first ballot.
On the thirtieth ballot Mc
Adoo overcame the Cox lead
and went into first place by
gradual accessions which fol
lowed the slide from Indiana
and Washington.
The big three were still
deadlocked on the twenty
eighth ballot, but during the
intermission before the twenty
ninth there were rumblings of
a slide to McAdoo led by In-
diana. The casting of ballots,start Unless some unexpeted
substantiated the rumor, Mc-shift' occurred on the twenty-
when Indiana threw 29 votes
to his column and when four
teen votes from Washington
flopped to McAdoo.
San Francisco, July ! The
convention went into the ninth
session today and the twenty
third ballot.
There -was nothing to indi
rate any
prospect
marked change in
since the last roll
( .ill Saturday night.
The McAdoo and Cox sup
porters are both emphatic in
'heir claims of victory to-day,
iut had no definite basis for
their confidence. to make pub-
;(-.
Leaders remanied silent and
managers declared that they
were in the fight to a finish, and
t hat their forces would receive
steady accessions on each bal-
lot. Judged by outward ap
pearances the si-tuation resolv
ed itself into a triangular war
of attrition. Supporters of each
the three leading candidates
wire determined to hold the
voe3 they then had and to work
for recruits from rival camps
s well as from the state delega
tions which have thus far cast
their votes for favorite sons.
Realizing that the delegates
were restless and anxions to re
turn home, the various mana
gers had devoted nearly as
much time since Saturday night
to strengthening their lines as
they had to missionary work
outside the fold.
Old time observers were as
serting at this time that when
the delegates are anxious to re
turn home, a noticeable move
ment toward any one candidate
is likely to be followed in in
creasing proportion on each sue
ceeding ballot.
In the event that the lines of
the big three remain unbroken
an effort will be made to put for
ward some comprommise can
didate. Thus tar negotiations
alonjr this line are not encour
aging.
Dark horse speculation was run
ning riot. Leaders combed the
list of candidates to find one
that seemed available but out
of all their talk came nothing
even to suggest a name on
which a new mobilization might
be made.
The convention assembled
with prospects of more uproar
ious demonstrations such as
have characterized it from the
