Cox, Governor of Ohio, was nominated for President of the United States in the Democratic National Convention at 1:40 o'clock Tuesday morning, at the conclusion of a 44- hour ballot struggle, in which he had beaten down the forces of William O. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury.

L- JAMES M. COX When the balloting on the forty- fourth vote had gotten to a point where Cox had 702 votes and was rapidly approaching the necessary two- thirds, Sam B. Amidon of Kansas, man- Rge1 of the McAdoo forces and vice cbairman of the Democratic National committee, took the platform and moved that the nomlnatftm of Governor Cox be made unanimous. Immediately there came a roar from the tired dele- fates which lasted for a full four min- iites before Chairman Robinson could put the question on Amidon's motion to suspend the rules and nominate Cox by acclamation. At 1:43 o'clock the motion was made to nominate by acclamation and it was done.

The convention then adjourned until noon. The'motion was formally voted over with a rolling chorus of ayes and a crashing of the brass bands. State standards which had surged toack and forth in the desperate battles 6f the deadlock raced to the front of the hall and to a place before the platform. In the confusion and excitement of a nomination after the body forgot About a nomination for the vice presi- $ency, the leaders were figuring on a list which prominently included Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, asaist- ftnt secretary of the navy.

Attorney General Palmer at the close Of the thirty-eighth ballot released his ielegates and left the Democratic National convention free to move out of its deadlock and nominate a presidential candidate. At the end of the second ballot after the-recess, when the Palmer vote had touched 211, and it was apparent that It could be driven no higher, former Representative C. C. Carlin of flnia, Palmer's manager, took the platform and announced the withdrawal of the attorney general from the race.

Chairman Robinson, in presenting him, told the convention significantly thmt he was presenting a man who had an announcement to make which he was confident the convention would to hear. "I am about to make an announcement of greatest importance to this convention at the conclusion of which shall move a recess for 20 minutes to give the convention opportunity to decide what course it shall take. A. Mitchell Palmer asks me to express his sincere thanks and appreciation to every delegate who had voted for his nomination but he is unwilling to lelay proceedings further and authorized me to finally, positively and absolutely release every delegate pledged Jo him that the convention may pro- teed to nominate the next President Of the United States."

Then about noon the well ladened baskets were brought forth and many jolly and happy groups were scattered through the grove.

The food was excellent and in abundance and thoroughly enjoyed by the customers.
