The desire of the democrats to carry Ohio was as much an inducement to the | dylegates in 1920 as anything else. Were it not for the general fandslide and reaction of the country in 1920, the friends of Cox insist he would have carried Ohio. They point, in- deed, to the election last autumn in Ohio when Gov. Donaghey, friend of | Mr. Cox, won an overwhelming vot. “Taere has been talk that Mr. Cox Is not in good favor with the democratic organization in Ohio because he did not conform to the wishes of his former aides, George White and Ed Moore, when the question of selecting a nom- inee for Governor of Ohio was talked over last r in the coun of the party. e then, however, Mr. Donaghey’s victo! tended to har- monize party difki s in Ohio, and while no doubt the enemies of Mr. Cox are making a good deal of a stir against him on the theory that he could not command the support of the Ohio delegation it would be sur- prising indeed if he did not again &0 to the convention with the vVotes of his own state. It wlill all depend upon what the chances of Cox appear | to be outside of Ohlo. If there is a sentiment for him in other states the Ohio delegation will be found fighting vigorously for him. He will be Ohio's favorite 'son af, the convention any- how. Stand on League. Aside from his intimacy with the leaders in the eastern and middle states, Mr. Cox has in the years been more outspoken ¥ other. democratic leader in untry on the subject of. the If the democrats toward Woodrow | Wilson, if there has been a revival of Wilson sentiment, former Gov. Cox is the only man who has been men- tioned for’ the democratic nomination k through thick and thin to the Wilson doctrine. Nearly every other candidate has deviated from the Wilsonian position. Mr. Cox has made it clear, however, | that he did not intend at any timegq that America should enter the league | of nations without reservations. He was quite willing to accept reserva tions which would protect American ! sovereignty and meet the objections | of those who sincerely questioned the ambiguity of the covenant. If Kuro- pean questions are an issue in Amer- ica next year, former Gov. Cox will | have placed himself in a position to argue that problem from intimate knowledge gathered on personal in- vestigation of the principal European countries. Takes Defeat Calmly. Mr. Cox was elected Governor of Ohio’ the first time he ran but was defeated the second time. A defeat, however, does not disturb the courage of James Cox. He wi elected of Ohio_after an who can © Ohio after has a resiliency in politics that the leaders are not likely to ignore. With President Harding, the republican nominee, a native of Ohio, the demo- be bound to consider the chances of carrying Ohio. Although the vote of the eastern states Is important and Woodrow ! Wilson was elected largely with the aid of the west, it must not be for gotten that he also carried Ohio. | What _democrat can carry Ohio | against Warren Harding? The friends | of Cox say that the Donaghey victory | in the last election at a time when | extraneous issues were chmlnaledi showed that the position of Mr. Cox in Ohio had been restored.

Both Coroner Nevitt and Deputy Coroner Martyn were satisfied that the woman's death had resulted from natural causes, but when Detectives O'Dea and Cullinane re- yorted the arrest of Elizabeth Spencer, colored, roomer in the Mistouri avenue house, they de- clded to perform an autopsy. Elizabeth characterized the af- fair as being absurd. ~She had never heard of nor handled any the alleged *“voudoo” prepa She was arrested about 10 ¢ last night and held until after th autopsy had shown death to have resulted from natural causes, when she was released. is not the kind of man who gives up anything without a fight and, while he professes not to be a candidate, circumstances in the party itself are quite likely to force him into the po sition of attempting to reconcile the democratic organizations in such m- portant states as New York, Illinots, New Jersey and Ohio with the Wilson wing of the party.
