[edit] Where is here?

The following paragraph is currently part of this article:

Cox recorded for the Nation's Forum several times. The campaign speech featured here (emphasis added) accuses the Republicans of failing to acknowledge that President Wilson's successful prosecution of the war had, according to Cox, saved "civilization."

My question is, where is the "here" that the paragraph alludes to; is it on Wikipedia, is it on another web site. If its on another web site, is this something that can be linked to this entry? Likewise, the above states that Cox recorded several times, but only make reference to the one instance that is suppossed to be "here". What were those recordings about?

• I was going to ask the same question, but I see someone else already did two years ago... --Maarten1963 22:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

"Here" is the hotlinked footnote

[edit] Project Gutenburg reference

I think it is extremely doubtful that the book linked in the Project Gutenburg template is by James Middleton Cox. I think it must be another James Cox. Can anyone validate one way or the other? David 23:33, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

It's not by James Middleton Cox, but it is about him. Project Gutenburg lists the subject of The Progressive Democracy of James M. Cox as being "Cox, James M. (James Middleton), 1870-1957".[1] -- SwissCelt 17:55, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

In March 2006 someone fixed the problem I was referring to, which was an incorrect reference using the Gutenburg template.David 20:30, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistency

The statement

A. you suck argued there was never a case in the history of American presidential elections where the better man lost.

is inconsistent with the preceeding statement

B. Stone professed that Cox was superior in every way over Warren Harding and would have made a much better President.

Perhaps statement "A" was meant to say something else. Perhaps it was meant to say Stone argued [that] there was never more of a case..., or something of the like.

[edit] Cox's life after 1920?

The bio says he died in 1957. So what did he do for all those years? Did he work in FDR's administration? This article needs to be fleshed out more.Tom Cod (talk) 06:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
