CINCINNATI, O., May 20. Georso
Barnsdalo Cox, long Republican Jeader In
the city, county and State, died early to
day. He" had been In n. critical condition
for several days from pneumonia, follow
ing a stroke of paralysis nbout four weeks
ego.
At his bcdsldo through the night were his
lfo, his brothor, Alfred. Cox, and John
Kinney, city sealer, who wns a llfe-loiiR
friend. Bcsldo his brothor, he leaves a
Bister. He had no children. Cox was born
In Cincinnati, April 29, 1853.
Cox had been Republican boss of Cincin
nati 27 years when ho retired In 1913 and
demoted himself to his theatrical interests.
"I mado good in politics because I never
lied to any ono and because L never went
back on a. friend," said Mr. Cox at that
time. "What is more, despite somo rrltl
clsm to tho contrary, I always tried to
tervo tho people."
Cox took prido In his achievements. In
t, rare moment of talkativeness ho onco
aid:
"I evolved Into a boss because of my
peculiar fltness. I havo never mado a
dollar out of politics. I havo seen to it to
serve It. I have eliminated the use of-big
turns In election purposes. A boss Is not
necessarily a public enemy."
Cox got his start In tho Clevclnnd-Blalno
presidential campaign of 1884. "Ho was
born In 1853. He was a pin boy In a Cin
cinnati bowling nlley and later drove a de
livery wagon. He was big and strong and
forceful. Often ho knocked out his man,
loth black and white. In tho turbulent dis
trict of the city his reputntlon grow. His
headquarters were In tho saloon ho opened
it Central and Longworth avenues, called
The Power House." Horo tho down-and-'enter
could always Had a friend, a drink
and a dime for a meal.
Blalno came to Cincinnati In 1884 and de
cided to mako theblg young saloonkeeper
his campaign manager. Although Blaine
was not successful, tho way Cox had man
aged the local fight brought him prestige
and from then on for many years few dis
puted his leadership.
He made and unmade Representatives,
Mayors, Judges and Governors. He was
the power behind tho throne of many a,
pompous officeholder. Thcro were protests,
but few Important Insurrections.
But at last the forces against him proved
too strong, and he had tho humiliation of
seeing young Henry T. Hunt elected Mayor
over his head.
More serious trouble awaited him. He
was Indicted with eight other directory on
charges of illegally loaning the J115.00U of
the funds of the Cincinnati Trust Company
to the Ford-Johnson Chair Company, n con
cern using convict labor of several States,
In which Cox was Interested. Thetrlal
resulted In an acquittal. "
Cox was over with politics however.
"All the other old fellows are out of It,"
ha declared. He purchased a substantial
Interest In the Shubert theatrical business,
and from then on had been out of the public
,ye. He was believed to be wealthy.

First Tho United States has been
kept out of war.
Second. America's rights havo been
forcefully chnmploncd.
Third A policy of nonintervention
In Mexico has succeeded, while prompt

Fourth. Tho Monroo Doctrine has
been upheld, fair dealing with sister

CHHVT CHASE, May 20. All was quiet
at the fcmlnlno rookies' camp last night.
Tho stillness was emphasized by n throb
bing, noise within tho tents. It told better
than words that most women Rnore.
Tho sound of a breaking twig was heard
near tho tent of, Company C. Then camo
tho sound of running feet.
"A man t A man !" tho cry resounded
throughout tho camp. Sentries searched

Doctor Wiley hnd his two llttlo sons with

After tho Bpcechcs there was a ball game

St Paul Road" Aain to the Fore
Makes Mountain Travel Clean and Mountain Vistas Clear
Achievements in the railroad world have been manifold and splendid. In
this great work "The St. Paul Road" since its inception has been a
leader. It is particularly fitting, therefore, that this railway sht tld accom
plish the first extensive main line electrification in the world. For440-miles
from Harlowton, Mont, to Avery, Idaho, across the Belt, Rocky and Bitter
Root Mountains, this railway has electrified its main line.
This colossal undertaking has claimed the attention of the nation. The giant
locomotives, fed with the limitless energy of mountain streams, the marvel
of regenerative braking on down grades, the increased efficiency and econ
omy of operation and the notable increase in travel delights, appeal alike
to engineers, scientists and the traveling public.
