NO MATTER HOW HARD THE TASK, COX FORGES AHEAD
DEMOCRAT CHIEFTAIN

NEA Service Writer
DAYTON, O„ Dec. 21.
James M. Cox, three times gov
ernor of Ohio and Democratic
standard bearer in 1920, is a
man with a variety of interests,
chief of which are attending to
his four newspapers, keeping in
touch with international ques
tions and farming.
He is equally at hpme in the
political forum, dictatin'* editor
ials to his stenographer or rais
ing hogs on his model farm at
his birthplace. Jacksonburg. O.
First of all, by instinct and by
training, Cox is a thoroughgoing
newspaper man. Talk with him in
his office at the Dayton Daily
News. You see a man of medium
height, with keen, almost penetrat
ing eyes behind shiny glasses. He
is almost never without his pipe;
there is an alertness, a perception,
in his face, and he looks considera
bly less than his 53 years.
Cox is boss of his papers. But he
hasn’t forgotten the mechanics of
his trade. Not long ago he bought
a new ‘service.” He wanted it
handled a certain way, so he walk
ed out into the editorial room,

peeled off his coat and sat down at
the -big desk and “read copy” on
it. He knew what he wanted and he
showed his men how to do it.
The “governor,’’ as he is called,
has a fondness amounting almost
to a passion for horses, and dogs.
Five miles out of Dayton is his
beautiful home, “Trailsend,” so call
ed because it marks the end of an
old Indian trail skirting the Miami
valley. There he has 100 acres,
and there he lives with his family,
i-aises bird dogs and hounds and
goes ,qn frequent horseback rides
along the 50 miles of bridle paths
surrounding Trailsend.
Six days of the year he spends
riding a mule and shooting quail
down near Tuskegee, Ala. He plays
golf a little and goes north in the
summer fln fishing trips. Every
winter now, he plans to spend a
couple of months in Florida and,
because he has an exceeding dis
taste for idleness, he bought a
paper down there last April to en
able him to keep his hand in. His
purchase was the Miami Metropolis.
He renamed it the News Metropolis.
It is perfectly apparent that Cox’s
life is filled with tasks that are
congenial. Behind him is a long
and excellent record of public of
fice, but he is not restless or yearn
ing when out of it. As he remark
ed to me, “A man formerly in pub
lice life who returns to newspa
per work doesn’t get home sick.”
And it is easy to believe he is in
earnest when he says it.
Tough Sledding.
His early years were years of
struggle, a constant fight to get an
education and “amount to some
thing," He was born March 31
1870, on a farm near the little In
dian village of Jacksonburg, 35
miles north of Cincinnati. His par
ents were Gilbert and Eliza An
drew Cox. The father descended
from an old English family and the

mother from a family of American
ship captains. General James Cox,
an early forbear, was a contempo
rary of Thomas Jefferson and serv
ed-in Congress at that time. The
general was grandfather of the
famous Samuel Sullivan (Sunset)
Cox, who served in Congress from
Zanesville, 0., and later New York.
As a young boy, he left the farm
arid attended the village academy
at Amanda, near Middletown, and
before reaching 17 he was teaching
country school. He made enough
to keep him in school by selling
papers.. While he was teaching he
started reporting on the Middletown
Signal.
Four or five years teaching
school and serving as principal of
night school and he engaged en
tirely in newspaper work, going
from the Signal to the Cincinnati
Enquirer. There he did every
thing—reporting, desk work and
editorial writing.
Buys Paper.
In 1894 Paul Sorg of Middletown
went to Congress and took Cox
along as secretary. Cox stayed
with him until Aug. 15, 1898, when
he bought the Dayton Daily News.
In 1904 he bought three papers in
Springfield, 0., and established the
Springfield Daily News. Last May,
a month after buying the Miami pa
per, he bought the Canton, 0., Daily
News.
He wps governor from 1913 to
1915. Defeated for re-election, he
came back in 1917 and served two
more terms, making him the long
est-termed governor of Ohio.
The League 'Fight.
Cox is mentioned as a strong
candidate for the Democratic pres
idential nomination. His chief ob
jective connection with his former
candidacy, he says, was to ‘help
make this country a part of a great
miei national movement to promote
peace.”
I consider the opportunity to
have made the fight for the League
ot Nations in 1920 in the face of
tremendous odds,” he declares, ‘as
an honor no less than the presidency
itself.”
He has four children living, the
oldest, Mrs. D. J. Mahoney, having

Anne, 4, and Barbara, 1.
On his big farm in Jacksonburg
he is fattening 5000 hogs and 100
steers. To me he remarked senii
facetiously that “if I didn't have
anything else to do, I might enjoy
running for president.”-

wheat in its supreme nutritional effect, because it is the first
wheat civilized man ever ate that has been cooked i-eady to
serve without oxidation, distillation, or evaporation effects,
the method of cooking being protected by the United States

is a food after the form of peas and beans, and more potent
in its nutritional effect than any cooked food ever before pro
