Va? Auk. 12 John W. Davis has won j Ji first case as Presidential nominee ? he has completely | captivated all factions and leaders of the Democratic Dartv. Not even Woodrow Wilson with his first acceptance speech in 1912 stirred up the enthusiasm and emotions of the practical politicians as did Davis last night as he stood in a pouring rain and laid the foundations of the greatest case of his career as an advocate. U?' will appeal to the Ameri can Jury from now on, as ho lilni nelf expresses It. from early morn* I ii k to late at night and "it will be no kid glove contest." Tammany Hall had wanted Al Smith, gputhern and Western Democrat* had foughl valliantly to womtmUM McAdou but tlm enn gratulatlons which the nominee received on hla apeech gave the impression that thc-re never had been a contest ? all were a unit Hii acclaiming the new standard bearer as having made good at' the outset with them. Thla correspondent mingled af terwards with the Tammany chieftains and with the leaders from the West and other sections of the country. What they said in private was an amazing tribute lo the nominee. Their applaus?* VAfl not given for "harmony" reasons -they talk and aet as if they believed Davis the greatest Democrat since Woodrow Wilson and some have gone so far at? to say he makes a better speech and a better argument. Tammany noted the denuncia tion of the Ku KIux Klau and even though the name of the or ganization was not specifically mentioned at this time ? though It will lw* In later speeches ? the pledge of the candidate that he j.wlll apply no religious test If elected President of the United States wan received with signifi cant applause for thla Is a chal lenge to the Ku KIux Klan on one of Its cardinal principles. The scene at the notification ceremony was unlike any cere mony of Its kind that has hith erto occurred. The candidate's neighbors and townsfolk turned out to cheer him and a conserva tive estimate of the size of the crowd would be about 25.000. Hut with the radio broadcasting the speech everywhere It was no serious Injury to the ceremony that It began to rain bucketaful. The nominee never altered the In flection of his voice or hurried his delivery. He knew he wns speak ing to a larger audience of mil lions which were not fidgeting uncomfortably In the rain. All the crowd heard Senator Thomas Walsh's speech but It rained Just as Mr. Davis began. It Is an Interesting coincidence that In 1912 after an unbroken, string of fair days, Woodrow Wil non encountered his first rain storm of the campaign In Clarks burg and spoke Just the same to the assembled West Virginians. Thousands were drenched to the skin but they stood by and cheered enthuslsstlcally. They are fond of John Davis here. The people of Marlon, Ohio, who used to pour forth their feeling to Warren Harding gave no more In tensely of their affection than do the people of Clarksburg to Da ?in. Speeches of notification are Im portant. of course, an Interpreta tlonn of tho national platforma and an tho opening sun In tho ranipaiKii.but they are of greater Important to tha party workers. The leaders really want to sae how a candidate will handle him self OH tin- stump. They want to he Innplred to go back home and flgfrt for their nominee. Tha choice of the convention la not al ways woll known to the rank and file. John Davl* entera the Dem ocratic llata almost an unknown tJ tho loaders as waa Woodrow Wil son In 1112. Their eyes are turned critically toward the nom ine* ? they want to aee how he will measure up In a fight. The I), mocrats who came to Clarks bttrg wont away singing tho prais es of their nomlnoo -they are wondering even now how by nccl di Dfl t ti <?>- happaned to pick no brilliant a speaker, so cogent an ndvocato. Thus the first ease with in the Democratic party Is a vic tory for the Davis personality and Intellect. From now on. with a united party behind him. there will i?e a real fight effort made by the Democrats along the llnea laid down by the candidate In his no tification speech. cknkral hines to SUCCEED PERSHING Washington, Aug. 19 ?

I The doctor had a far-away look on his face. He was reminiscent. 1 For 66 years. In all kinds of w?a- 1 ther, William Hardy Hardison has, responded to the call of the suf-1 forlng. At 79 years of age. on the | coldest day of tho winter, he was making his rounds; humming a snatch of song while his mind grappled with the problems of his 1 profession. As I sat looking at him, I rnuld only wonderr'*What does a coun try doctor know at 79?" When one thinks of the things that he , has seen In this of change, he becomes a character more Inter- 1 eating than the heroes of Action. ' ; He has lived through two great l wars and the Revolution of Med- > leal Science. Ho haa had the ex : perlenco of living in the greatest century of discovery that the I world has t>v6r known.

Ho served as1 a sergeant major In Daniel's Url- | gade, thirty-second North Caro lina Regiment. He was In the j battles of Gettysburg, Peters- j burg, tho Wilderness, and Appo- 1 mattox. After Lee's surrender he re-! turned home and was for a short ' time engaged in the mercantile ! business, nut the following year | ho entered the Medical School of \ the Vnlverslty of Maryland, from j which he graduated In 188ft. He- ? turning to his old home h?? began , the practice of medicine. When j he wns 36 years of age he mar ried Miss Harriet Nixon of Per- ! uqlmans County. Five children were born to this union, of whom j only one. Mr*. Myra Hardlnon reel?, has lived to comfort him In I his nge.

Public health, public morals, truth, new thought. politics, rep arations. relativity, free love, birth control they are all one to the corner spell binders. Some of these patriots. uplKters and cult lata wrap themselves In the Amer ican flax as they speak, treating It as the symbol of freedom of ex freaslon ss w.

With all the new Ideas and the queer Ideas that are before the American people today. one would think the Irish question a bit threadbare or shopworn), as It were. Yet this Is far from the truth. The Irish fighting spirit never dies. It quickly kindles In to flame for North Is North and South la South and never the twain ahall meet. It ao happens that several out door meetings were going on at one mill II Uim l^i t'lilWlh tnii CTrcie m? other night, it also happened that one soap boxer Was' diseuaalng health and the adjoin ing one wan discussing Ireland. There was a bad augury In this. Pretty aoon the meetings over lapped and then the run begun. Some 6.000 persons were In the Circle getting a "kick" out or the various free enterlalnmenta ao lavlahly on tap. The Irish orator waa extolling Kamonn de Valera and Intimated quite loudly that Ireland never would amount tiy1 anything until the de Valera Ideas were fully sdopted and Ulster was brought Into line. The Irish patriot proclaimed his views with so much vehe mence that the health orator ahouted over to him that he was trying to "grub the sir" and In terfere with all the other meet ings. Ha also Intimated In rather blunt language that Ireland was not so darned important sfter all, certainly not ns Important bb the health or all good American eltl lena. That was enough sold. Tha Irish orator climbed down from hla stand and made for the health man. It looked very hsd for the letter's* general constitution but' before the two principals ever got within striking distance a melee waa under way. A melee In the very heart or New York City on s hot night Is a difficult thing to deal with and they had to call out the reacrvcn or hair a dosen pre clncts before order could be re atored and nothing more heard about the Circle hut tbo hum ond the click of the cheap taxlcab me ters ss up and down town traffic was resumed. At one time during the fight ing a lone nun who must have aald smoothing terrible was being chased by over a hundred men and women. He took refuge In an all night restaurant where a woman attendant quickly shut the door In the raeee or the pursuers.
