Title	James M. Cox Article Regarding Election Loss to Warren G. Harding
Subject	Ohio Government Presidents and Politics Cox, James M. (James Middleton), 1870-1957 Harding, Warren G. (Warren Gamaliel), 1865-1923 Political campaigns Presidential elections
Place	Jacksonburg (Ohio) Butler County (Ohio) Dayton (Ohio) Montgomery County (Ohio)
Description	Ohio Governor James M. Cox wrote this article for the New York World on November 3, 1920, after he lost the presidential election to Warren G. Harding of Marion, Ohio. Cox charges Harding with being inexperienced and a puppet of the Republican Party leadership, and argues that he was elected without popular support. The article is four pages and measures 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm). James Middleton Cox (1870-1957) was born near Jacksonburg, Butler County, Ohio. He left school at the age of 16 and later taught at a school near Middletown. In the following years Cox became interested in the newspaper business and purchased what would become the Dayton Daily News in 1898. As Cox's newspaper business grew, so did his interest in local politics. He earned a seat in the United States House of Representatives serving the 3rd district from 1909 to 1913. Cox was also elected governor of Ohio in 1913 and served until 1915. He was elected a second time in 1917 and served until 1921. After losing the presidential election of 1920, Cox never ran for public office again, but he did remain close friends with Roosevelt. Through the years between 1920 and Roosevelt's death in 1945 the two exchanged personal letters, telegraphs, and pictures on a regular basis.
