James Middleton Cox (March 31, 1870 – July 15, 1957) was the 46th and 48th Governor of Ohio, U.S. Representative from Ohio and Democratic candidate for President of the United States in the election of 1920. [...] Cox's running mate was future president, then-Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt. One of the better known analyses of the 1920 election is in author Irving Stone's book about defeated Presidential candidates, They Also Ran. Stone
rated Cox as superior in every way over Warren Harding, claiming the
former would have made a much better president; the author argued that
there was never a stronger case in the history of American presidential
elections for the proposition that the better man lost.
