The Progressive Democracy of James M. Cox is a book written by Charles E. Morris that explores the political career of James M. Cox, a former governor of Ohio and the Democratic Party's nominee for president in 1920. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Cox's life, from his early years as a newspaper publisher to his rise in politics and his unsuccessful bid for the presidency. Morris examines Cox's political philosophy, which was rooted in progressivism and a belief in the power of government to improve the lives of ordinary Americans. He also delves into Cox's record as governor of Ohio, where he implemented a number of progressive reforms, including the creation of a state highway system and the establishment of a minimum wage for women and children. The book also covers Cox's presidential campaign, which was ultimately unsuccessful in the face of a Republican landslide led by Warren G. Harding. Morris analyzes the reasons for Cox's defeat, including his support for the League of Nations and his perceived lack of charisma on the campaign trail. Overall, The Progressive Democracy of James M. Cox provides a detailed and insightful look at the life and career of one of the most important progressive politicians of the early 20th century.A man who has occupied this position without interruption during three administrations would be a failure at the very outstart if he resorted to devious conduct or political duplicity. He has but one master--the people at large. To reach this position he had to have courage, be truthful, exercise sound and practical business judgment, and at the same time have a vision looking to the betterment of the condition of his fellow-man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
