day and Last Niffht.
San Francisco, July 6. James M. Cox, three times governor
of Ohio, was nominated for the presidency early this morning
hv the Democratic national convention in the break-up of one
of the most prolonged deadlocks in the history of national polit
ical parties. - .
It took 44 ballots to make the choice, and it was not until the
38th, when Attorney-General Palmer withdrew from the race,
that the long succession of roll-calls showed any definite trend.
- In the turn-over of the Palmer delegates, Cox gained the ad
vantage over William G. McAdoo, his rival for first place since
early in the balloting, and that advantage never was lost
W ith its choice made, the convention adjourned to noon to
day to name a candidate for the vice-presidency,
Should it be decided to give second
place on the ticket to the East, Frank
' lin D. Roosevelt of New York, assistant
secretary of the navy, seemed to be a
favorite, but if the nomination goes to
the West there are several possibilities
talked about by the leaders.
Supporters of Governor Cox won a
way to the nomination by persistently
battering at the McAdoo and Palmer
forces in many states throughout a
long series of shifting', and rallies,
which left now one and then the other
of the candidates iii the lead.
On tha opening ballot Friday the
Ohio governor was in third place. He
soon passed Talmer, however, and on
the 12th ballot went ahead of McAdoo.
Then began a see-sawing between the
Cox and McAdoo totals which at the
end of the 39th roll call at midnight
found the two virtually the same.
On the 42d ballot the accession of
most of the Palmer strength, to Cox
put him well ahead and after that
peat and little state delegations went
into the Cox column in a procession.
On the 43d he got a majority for he
first time of all the votes cast and on
the 44th he was plunging toward the
required two-thirds when Colorado
changed its vote to him and made the
nomination obvious. It was made
unanimous on motion of S. B. Amidon
of Kansas, rice-chairman of the nat'nn
al committee, and a leader of the Mc
Adoo forces.
Changing Ballot.
Of the 44 ballots, two were taken
last Friday night, 14 the first session
Saturday and six at the Saturday
night session. There were 22 recorded
yesterday, 14 at the all day session
and eight last night.
Cox began the fight with 134 on the
first ballot and climbed steadily until
the 15th, when he had 4G8V'j- Hi low
est vote after that was on thf 35th,
he first taken at last night" session,
when it fell to 376',.
A curious thing in the voting for
McAdoo was that be received 2fl on
the first ballot, the lowest east for
him. and xrtrt on the last ballot. His
high-water mark was 407 on the 4IUh
ballot. At that time Cox had 490.
Palmer opened with 2.n votes. Hi
highest vote was 26" ',i on the seventh
ballot.
A the x total passed that of Mc J
said it had been made without prom
isrs. .
The struggle was exceeded in voting
duration in Democratic annals onlr It
the fight at Baltimore in 1912 which
gave the president his first nomination
on the 40th ballot.
1 Yesterday' Beginning.'
Fresh from an over-Sunday study of
the 22 ballots taken last week, the con
vention went to work Monday, appar
ently hopelessly tied up in a triangular
deadlock between Cox, McAdoo and
Palmer. Time and again the rival
forces launched their noisy demonstra
tions in an effort to force the 1asu&
The roll-calls went through swiftly ex
cept for these interruption. Chairman
Robinson and his aide on the plat
form kept up constant pressure for
speed. Ko noon recess was taken. The
convention drove ahead fhroiigh ' two
new eurges, one toward Palmer and
the other toward McAdoo, neither of
winch produced any decided results.
All three of the leaders were going
tronglv when a dinner reces gave ou
portunity for the final setting of lines
on which the battle would be carried
to a finish.
Palmer Withdraw.
The galleries again Vere jammed nd
delegates were keyed up to a point
where shout and cheer greeted the
changes of single vote. A alight con
tinued gain for McAdoo in the first
night ballot sent his ptrtisan off into
a roaring, gesticulating parade about
the hall, in which western and southern
state standards were prominent, but
w hich no amount of shouting could in
duce New York or Pennsylvania to
join. New York had reached a division
of 20 for McAdoo and 70 for Cox, on
which it stuck throughout, while
Pennsylvania as steadily had voted 7.1
of Its 78 delegates for'Palmer. With
the 37th ballot, however, Palmer
strength took another drop. Amidst
wild jubilation by McAdoo anpporters.
Chairman Robinson fought for order
and led former Representative Carlin
of Virginia, Palmer"s manager, up to
the speaker's stand. The crowd hushed.
It recognized Carlin and knew that his
appearance forecast only one thing, the.
release of the Palmer delegates and a
break-up in the long deadlock. Men
halted where they stood in the aisles
to listen. Corridor poured back hun
dreds of lounger to the floor to park
the doorways and jam the entrances
Adoo and surged upward, the McAdoo to the galleries. An electric leeling ol
managers made a desperate ngni a
stop it in time. Their candidate twice
bad held the lead and lost it. however,
and many delegate supporting him
bad irien up hope that he ever could
be nominated. On the last four ballots
McAdoo lost steadily, several solid
tate delegations deserting his banner
for that of the leader.
Made Nomination Unanimous.
Besides, the scattering Palmer dele
gates, who at first had swung to Mc
Adoo. drifted over into the Cox camp
in increasing nnmlicr. and the Ohio
man Isrpan to take a commanding pU
in the balloting. Om-e lie had more
thsa a mstoritv the fight was easy. At
the end of another day of furious
trucfle. the convention stampeded to
Cox. fliuig aside its rules and rode lii
nomination unanimous with a roaring
shout.
A terrific uproar followed. The whole
was of delegates threw themsehe
into a final wild demonstration, great
er than any of le orgies of none tiat

as the surges of sound paused to let
th figure reach the clerk. Little by
little the drift to toe Cox column con
tinued, gaining momentum as it ran.
"Get into the wagon!" roared a man in
the galleries, and the Cox rooter took
it up. Vote for other candidate than
Cox or McAdoo brought yell to "come
out of it" and wake un " Finally
after a new move by McAdoo aupport
er to adjourn in a last desperate ef
fort to stave off defeat had been roared
down, the last ballot, the 44th, began.
The result was forecast with the
first ' vote. Alabama swung solidly to
Cox. State by state, delegations who
had stuck out for McAdoo with divided
delegations, followed suit. The slide
had set in and there was no stopping it
The convention had its mind set to
nominate on that ballot t'p and up
mounted the Oluoan a. total of votes
As it passed the 700 mark, with the
necessary two-tnird just ahead, the
tumult increased minute by minute un
til the last votes were heard only
vaguely on the platform. Pennsylvania
went over and the Colorado chairman
leaped to his chair to change the vote
of his state to Cox. Half a dozen other
chairmen were waving for recognition
to make similar announcements.
Chairman Rohinson hurried to his
desk with Ham B. Amidon of Kansas,
McAdoo chief, whom he presented
only after a furious assault with the
cavel forced a partial lull in the cheer
mg. 1 hrough a continuous racket Am
idon moved that the rules be suspend
ed and the nomination be made unani
mous. All over the great ball men
climbed UP on chairs to wave their
arm for silence and then stand poised
like college veil leaders to signal the
answer to tha question.
Banging his gavel in a nnal thump
Chairman Robinson put the question
and the answer roared pack at, him
with all the volume of a thousand
voice in shouting " the, tremendous
'are" that made !overnor Cox the
Democratic nominee.
The 44th ballot never was completed.
In the chorus of affirmation it was
swept away as unnecessary. Many of
the changes which would have been
made had the rot been carried through
were never recorded, and on the fare
of that ballot Governor Cox received
officially 702VJ votes, but these were
never totaled, for he was nominated
bv the unanimous voice of the con
vention.
The nomination of Governor Cox
means that the two great parties not
only have gone into the same state
for their candidates, but have picked
men who for years have been associat;
ed more or less closely in the same
profession. Like Senator Harding.Gov
ernor Cox is a newspsper man and

Some time ago there waa a meeting
of the women of Washington county
to learn the sentiment toward engaging
a county home demonstration agent
nd organizing a home bureau, and as
a result of that meeting another was
held in Montpelier to-day, at which the
organization was effected and officers
were elected as follows: President,
Mrs. Dan Jones, of Waterbury; vice
president, Mrs. C. A. Badger of Kast
Montpelier; secretary and treasurer,
Mrs. Raymond Briggs of Montpelier.
The county demonstration leader will
lie Mis Mildred Boyce of Conway.
Mass., a graduate of the normal school
at Framingham, Mas., where she bad
training in home economics and mat
ters which would come under her su
pervision in this county.
The object of the home bureau is to
work along economic and home demon

farm bureau. In some states and ia
some counties of Vermont, it is a part
of the farm bureau work.
Miss Charlotte Pierpont, home dem
onstration leader for Vermont, called
the meeting to order and explained in
detail the accomplishments of the last
few weeks and the purposes of the or
ganization. Mrs. Badger, who had lein
getting member among the women of
the county, reported 381 enrolled. This
was considered remarkably good, inas
much as when the farm bureau was
organized it proved difficult to get a
memliership of ?(K).

meeting on "Enthusiasm. Co-operation
and Work," describing what he hoped

White Meat of 20 Chickens for

An essential feature of chicken An
toine is that it is made of the white
meat only. One chicken might conceiv
ably furnish enough white meat for
two persons, but. the servant were'to
be considered. No doubt they also like
chicken Antoine. So that 20 chickens
were cooked, the white meat extracted
and served in the most approved fash
ion. What remained of the chicken wa
thrown in the garbage. There are score
of hospitals in tow n that would gladly
have sent for the 20 chicken carcasses.
But no matter.
"Sure, he knew about it." said a
friend. "Ile a no friend to waste of that
sort. But what could, he d? He
couldn't go down into the kitchen and
call down hi butler, cotild he?"
I wanted to know why not. Other
folks have.

scornfully. "To call down a wise fowl
