PRESENTED AT
CONVENTION
<Continued from Page One)
Ohio, in formally presenting Governor
Cox’s name.
“The election this year will fix the
status of America for a generation,”
said Judge Johnson. “Not only will it
decide whether we shall take our
rightful place at the very head of the
nations in a united effort for civil
ization, or shall lapse into sullen
ostracism in the face of opportunities
for service to humanity which no
people ever had; but it will also de
cide whether the domestic progress
and vast productive energies of this
continent shall be turned back into
reactionary channels after a period
of splendid achievement in Democrat
ic administration.
“When this country was forced in
to the great world war, our people in
common with their fellow country
men in all of the states, were thrilled
by the call of the great man who sits
in the seat of Washington and Lincoln
and who with superb spirit and
matchless phrase interpreted the
highest aspirations and the invincible
purpose of the free people of the
earth. If envy, hatred and passion
shall deprive him of his just recog
nition now, and deprive his country
and humanity of the benefits of his
vast service in their behalf, succeed
ing generations will pay increasing
devotion to his honor. The mighty
appeal he made to the resistless
forces of civilization will place him
among the colossal figures in the
bistory of mankind.
“The American people must now de
cide whether that pround position
which our soldiers and our people
won shall be abandoned or whether
we shall show ourselves worthy of
the inheritance we have enjoyed.
“The Democratic party needs a can
didate who holds in his heart the
memory of the glorious record of the
incomparable American boy and who
looks forward with courage and cap
acity to grasp the opportunities and
to meet the difficulties and dangers
yet to come. He must know the be
ginnings and the reasons for the re
public. He must know its spirit, and
the spirit of the wise men who found
ed it. He must know that American
ization is not an idle ceremony, that
..| not a thing to be gained in a
or a year, but that it is the result
the slow processes of education
id of the influence of association
nd contact with those who have en
joyed and appreciate what enlight
ened liberty is. He must know that
America cannot hold herself away
from the rest of the world, that
science and invention and genius have
removed all barriers on land and sea
and have brought together all the
races whether they will or not. He
must realize that the huge debts im
posed upon all the nations by the
bloody struggle make it imperative
that the American president shall be
a man of great business and executive
capacity; that this debt can only be
paid by wealth produced in the fac
tories and mines and on the farms
of the country, and that there must
be the devoted, united and harmon
ious work of every capitalist and
every worker to accomplish the
mighty task. The taxes must be in
telligently laid to the end that this
capital and this labor may be, as
far as possible- unfettered.
“The great state, of which I have
spoken, presents a man who has these
qualities in full and rounded measure.
His strength is not the passing fancy
of a mere lucky turn on the political
board. It is the solid strength and
judgment of the people after actual
power that is slowly fixed in the
performance of service. His friends
do not generalize, they specify. For
eight years he has been under the
searchlight in our state. In each of
the years new problems were met, new
difficulties encountered, new demands
made upon his tireless industry and
upon the resources of his leadership
and statesmanship. He has constant
ly grown with the severity of the test.
At every crisis and at every new trial,
he has developed a splendid reserve
force and capacity.
“All saw and admired the resolute
stand he took for the impartial en
forcement of the law. He demanded
of every subordinate executive officer
in every county and in every munici
pality the same unquestioning observ
ance of equal and exact justice. His
spirit was so high and his sense of
fairness so even and manifest that no
soldier was ever needed to march be
tween capital and labor.
“For half a century, Ohio was nor
mally Republican, but three times bis
man has been elected governor of the
Buckeye state. The lust time he was
the only man on the Democratic ticket
! who was elected and he is stronger
now. His real genius for executive
drity and his record of accomplish
ment, has increased his popularity
and strength far beyond the power of
our opponents to overcome, however
huge the campaign fund may be.”
EDWARDS TO RUN
ON WET PLATFORM
In placing Governor Edward I. Ed
wards, of New Jersey, in nomination
today, Charles F. X. O’Brien, of Jersey
City, urged that there be “a return
and adherence to the first principles
of government” and that the people be
given a direct voice in deciding the
prohibition question.
“We are fully cognizant,” said Mr,
O’Brien, “that the eighteenth amend
ment to the constitution is the law of
the land and strict obedience to the
mandate of our highest court is the
demand of the Democratic party; hut
the voice of the people has not yet
been heard on this tremendously vital
issue. We feel that American people
have been defrauded of a treasured
right that was always their proudest
possession and we propose to undo the
wrong by the installation of a con
gress and a president who will protect
and not destroy popular government,
as was witnessed in an infamous meas
ure passed by a Republican congress.
We believe that this issue has been
only temporarily adjudicated and not
completely and permanently decided,
and no great question ever yet was
settled until it was settled right.
“We believe that this question of
prohibition, when it is put to the
actual test and its hypocrisy is un
folded in all its hideous features, will
just as rapidly find a hearty repudia
tion through the same measures that
thoughtlessly and wantonly moved its
inception. Therein lies not only the
great opportunity of the Democratic
party, but the paramount supreme
duty of this convention is to decide
whether self-determination in our own
governmental affairs is to be denied
or our inherent natural rights are to
find their greatest enjoyment in the
exercise of personal liberty.
“Much has been said about the is
sue of personal liberty, but neither
savant nor doctrinaire, philosopher
nor statesmen, no matter how learn
ed or extensive his treatise might
be, could express its import more
clearly or succinctly than in the home
ly, yet eloquent phrase of the right of
every man to mind his own business
and to permit his neighbor to do the
same.
“We seek no quarrel with the dis
tinquished gentlemen who may op
pose us on this question, we do not
doubt the sincerity of those who are
committed to the cause of prohibi
tion, but we do most potently deny
that our government now is or ever
will be transformed from one of ma
jority to minority rule. If prohibi
tion is a good thing for the American
people, we maintain that the right of
personal liberty and its preservation
are of far greater consequence and
more in accordance with the idea of
justice and national honor. If prohi
bition is possessed of all the virtues
attributed to it, why not let the peo
ple decide for themselves wherein
their own best interests lie and there
by give evidence of their proportion
ate capacity of intelligence for self
g )vernment.
“Nor need the proponents of this
new panacea for human ills fear the
judgment or conscience of the Amer
ican people. The American people
are the supreme arbiters of their
political destinies and salvation, and
the man or group of men who would
t~ke away the scepter of power from
the citizenship of our country is a
menace to Democratic principles and
American institutions.
“No one will gainsay that the world
war is responsible for the greatest
upheaval in our national life that we
have ever known, but attempted leg
islation as to morals has served only
to intensify the general conditions
of distrust and confusion. Even now
there is a firmly established convic
tion that too much government not
only tends to defeat the object for
which it was intended but arouses that
rebellious spirit and contempt fur
law and order which is sadly visible
in other countries today.”
He clqsed with a resume of the
question of prohibition.
