The Progressive Democracy of James M. Cox

Charles Morris was an American writer of dime novels. He used several pseudonyms. He also compiled a series of Historical Tales. These are retold legends and historical events meant to be read for enjoyment rather than used as texts. James M Cox was Governor of Ohio, U.S. Representative from Ohio and Democratic candidate for President of the United States in the election of 1920. While a reporter he went to a town where a train wreck had occurred. Wile the other reporters went to the scene of the accident, Cox hired the telegraph writer to transmit the Bible to his office. By law, once a message was begun it could not be stopped. Cox went and got his story and returned to the office and sent his story. When nominated for President he supported the internationalist policies of Woodrow Wilson and favored U.S. entry into the League of Nations.
