HENRY GASSAWAY DAVIS, the!
Democratic vice presidential
nominee, is a man with more
than an ordinary business and
political career. In West Virginia and
nearby states he long has been regard
ed as a financial giant, and his poliri
cal life has been characterized by con
servatism aud sagacity.
His nomination at St. Louis confers
upon him the peculiar distinction of
being the oldest candidate ever select
ed for the office, Mr. Davis having
been born in Woodstock, Md., on Nov.
1G, 1S23. His father was Caleb Da
vis, a successful Baltimore merchant,
who died a few years after the son's
birth, and his mother was a Miss Lou
ise Brown, whose sister was the moth
er of Senator Gorman of Maryland.
Like Judge Tarker, Mr. Davis spent
his early days on a farm. He received
his education in a village school and
at the age of twenty entered the em
ploy of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road as a brakeman. This was the
first railroad built in America, and Mr.
Davis , has the distinction of having
been the first brakeman on any rail-

road in the United States. He was
soon advanced to the position of con
ductor and was then the only railroad
conductor in the country. An amus
ing story illustrative'of the grip of ear
ly associations on a retentive nature
used to be told of him in Washington.
It is said that well toward morning of
a wearisome all night session of the
senate Senator Davis was asleep, his
head resting upon his desk. Senator
. Edmunds had provoked Judge Thur
nian to a speech, and by introduction
the judge unfurled his red bandanna
and blew a blast of more than usual
power. Mr. Davis may have been
dreaming of his old railroad days. At
any rate, he sprang to his feet in a
half dazed condition and, catching
sight of the red flag the old signal of
danger and seeming to imagine that
he had heard a shriek of alarm from
the open throttle of a locomotive call
ing for "Down brakes!" seized his
desk and with the brakeman' s quic
twist wrenched it from the floor.
It was while serving as a conductor
that Mr. Davis met and formed the
acquaintance of Henry Clay, who was
a passenger upon Mr. Davis' train
while going from his Kentucky home
to the capital and returning. . Clay
would board the train in Baltimore and
leave it at its western terminus and
make the journey over the mountains
into Kentucky in the old fashioned
ctomnnh. Mr. Davis got his first

Later he became station agent at
Piedmont. Having served with the
railroad company for fourteen years,
he turned his attention to commercial
pursuits and established the firm of
Davis & Bros, at Tiedmont.
Socially he always was diffident, even
backward at times, but when called
upon he never failed to declare his
convictions. In his railroad life, how-

ever, his practical skill, courage and j
energy overcame all difficulties.
Piedmont was the center of the Cum
berland bituminous coal region. The
present great coal fields of that part of
the country were then undeveloped,
and Davis perceived that that section
was one of immense industrial prom-'
ise. The firm of Davis & Bros, en
gaged in the shipping of coal and
lumber for the producers, and its busi
ness grew rapidly.
In 1SG0 Henry G. Davis organized
the IMedmont Savings bank and be
came its president. This bank was sup
planted by the "National Bank of Pied
mont, of which Mr. Davis is also the
guiding spirit. He andTris brothers,
whose possessions were originally in
significant, have since been able to
count their capital by millions, while
their landed estate at one time approxi
mated 100,000 acres.
Before the war Mr. Davis was a
Whig,- while after its close he allied
himself with the conservative wing of
the Democratic party.
ne made his entry into politics In
1S25, when he was elected to the West
Virginia house of delegates. He was
delegate from West Virginia to the
Democratic national conventions of
18GS and 1872; while in 1867 he was
elected to the legislature of his state
as a Union Democrat.'being re-elected
two years later. In 1871 he was made
United States senator to succeed W. T.
Wiley, Republican, he being the first
Democratic member of that body from
the then young state of West Virginia.
At the expiration of his term he was
re-elected. After serving twelve years
in the senate he declined further po
litical honors, preferring to devote his
entire time to his rapidly increasing
business affairs. N
Early in his public career he assumed
an unequivocal position on financial
questions, from which he has never de
parted"." Almost at the beginning of
his legislative service he was confront
ed with the issue of the responsibility
of West Virginia for a portion of the
debt of the Old Dominion. Despite the
advice of friends who considered mo
mentary popularity rather than justice,
he took a bold stand in favor of his
state's meeting her just proportion of
the debt of the mother state, when that
equitable proportion could be ascer
tained. By reason of his determination
he made a profound impression upon
all his associates.
Until recently Mr. Davjs was presi
dent of the West VlrginiaACentral and
Pittsburg railroad, which he projected,
and also of the Piedmont arid Cumber
land railroad. He was one of the dele
gates to the pan-Americanl congress
and was a member of the United States
intercontinental railway commission.
Today he is known as one of West Vir
ginia's "Big Four," and had the boom
of Senator Gorman materialized he was
to have managed it.
In 1853 he married Miss Kate A.
Bantz, a daughter of Judge Gideon
Bantz of Frederick, Md. He has two
sons, John T. Davis and Henry G. Da
vis, Jr., and three daughters, Mrs. Ste
phen B. Elkins, Mrs. K. M. G. Brown,
wife of Lieutenant Commander Brown.
U. S. N., and Mrs. Arthur Lee. Mr.
Davis' wife died two years ago. He
has a beautiful villa at Deer Park, Md.,
where he-passes the summer months,
but his home as a voter is at Elkins,
W. Va., where his residence adjoins
that of United States Senator Stephen
B. Elkins, his son-in-law. ' The people
of Elkins are very fond of ex-Senator
Davis, who has done very much for
that town. He built the Davis Memo
rial hospital at a cost of nearly $100,
000 in memory of his son, who was
drowned while cruising on the African
coast. With Senator Elkins he has
founded the Davis and Elkins college,
a Presbyterian institution at Elkin3
that soon will be dedicated. He was
also instrumental in the erection of the
Davis Memorial Presbyterian church
at Elkins.

eighty-first -year, is as spry as a man
of sixty, and a good deal sprier than
many. He was a delegate to the recent
national convention and a member of
the committee on resolutions. He was
chosen as a member of the subcommit
tee that had charge of the platform.
and he stayed up all nfght during the
deliberations of that committee at the
Southern hotel. When he went to the
Jefferson hotel at noon the next dav
he did not appear fatigued, and he told
his friends he could stand another
twenty-four hours of it as well as not.
He favored the insertion of a gold
plank ih the platform. When his
name was being considered by the na
tional convention there was some ques
tion as to whether he supported Bryan
in 1890 and 1900.. Chairman Jones of
the Democratic national committee put
it at rest by saying that in 189G Sena
tor Davis presided at a Bryan meeting
in West Virginia and voted for Bryan.
At that time Senator Davis was en
gaged in building a railroad and had a.
large obligation at a bank which he
desired to renew. When he went to
the bank the president said:
I understand you presided at a
Bryan meeting last night."
"Yes," said Davis. "What of it?"
"Well," said the bank president,
"don't you know that the theories of
Bryan are opposed to all the financial
institutions in this country? I do not
see how you can come to this bank or
any other for flavors, holding the views
that you do."
"Do you mean to say," asked Davis,
"that the fact that I remain loyal to
the Democratic party makes any dif
ference with my credit?"
Not at all," said, the bank presi
dent. "But we are not inclined to do
any favors for such people."
"This is no favor to me," said Davis.
"I am simply carrying this obligation
as a business transaction, and if you
don't wiut to renew it I'll pay it now
and withdraw my patronage from the
bank."
The bank president grew alarmed at
this, because Senator Davis is heavily
interested in financial operations in
West Virginia, and he begged Davis to
reconsider. Davis would not recon
sider. He paid the obligation in cash
that afternoon and cut that bank off
his list of business connections.
Senator Davis is many times a mil
lionaire, lie har. been an enthusiastic
Gorman man ever since the canvass
for the Democratic nominee in 1904
began. At one time he said he would
spend a million dollars to secure the
nomination of' Gorman, and it was no;
mere idle boast, because he had the
money and would spend it.
Personally. Senator Davis is an af
fable, genial man, democratic and mod-
est. lie does not look his years, and to '1
the casual observer he would appear
to be not more than sixty-five. He is
more than six feet tall, erect and
straight as in the days of his youth.
His shoulders are square. He is veil
muscled. He has a springy heel and
toe walk. There Is not the slightest
evidence of any loss of mental or bodi

His face features are regular and
bold. His nose is aquiline. His eyes
are gray and sharply penetrating, but
withal kindly in expression and set
wide apart. His face Is not deeply

The whole bearing of the man do
notes an alert, vigorous interest in life
and the matters that appeal to him for

His daughter, Mrs. Stephen B.

entertainers, and her gracious woman

A BEAT THAT FAILED
HOW THE PLANS OF AN ENTERPRIS
ING EDITOR WERE UPSET.
The Climax to tbe Great Dobbins.
Domino Hatch Race aa It Develop
ed In tbe Office of One of tbe Metro
politan Afternoon Dallies.
"I never read of a close finish in a
big running race nowadays that I'm
not reminded of a famous punctured
scoofiuin which I figured when I was
working in a New York newspaper of
fice," said an old time telegrapher who
is now employed in Washington.
"It was back In the days when the
great Domino was the Btar colt of the
Kecne stable and, with one exception,
was acknowledged as the greatest two-year-old
of the season.
"The exception was Richard Croker's
flier Dobbins. These two youngsters
finally met in the Futurity, and, al
though the Keene colt won, with Dob
bins third, the latter's owner was not
satisfied with the result, and a match
was speedily arranged at the Futurity
distance for $10,000 a side. .
"Now, the paper I worked on was an
evening sheet, and it was the ambition
of the managing editor's life to beat
the opposition evening paper and get
the news of a big event like this on the
street first
"The other fellows had beaten us on
the Futurity story a few days before,
and the managing editor made no se
cret of the fact that he was going to
get even.
"Accordingly he laid all of his plans
a day ahead, and, although we did not
know at the time what they were, we
felt sure by the way he strutted around
on the morning of the race that be had
the winning combination up his sleeve.
"Along about noontime of that day
the editor, the most nervous man I
ever met, called me Into his office and
told me that, as the match race was
the fifth event on the card, he wanted
me to have one of the other operators
take the result of the fourth race, and
he also wanted me to get a wire In
good working order and prepare to get
the result of the fifth race.
.rrM . .1, i .
iu sirueiue was to iiave two presses I
set and all ready to start. One of
them was to have the bte front nape I
headline read 'Dobbins Wins the Big
Match, and the other just the same,
except that Domino's name appeared
in the place of Dobbins'. The Dobbins
extra was on press No. 1 and the Dom
ino extra on press No. 2. Whichever
horse won, the managing editor was to
call out No. 1 or No. 2, and the press
would be started in quicker time than
it takes to tell of the arrangement.
"I couldn't help but inwardly smile
as I watched the managing editor strid
ing nervously about, waiting for the
start, just like a man who had thou
sands of dollars wagered on the chance
of one of the racers.
"Suddenly the key of my Instrument
began to click, and he quickly stopped
and looked anxiously at me, but It
proved to be only the operator at the
other end testing. Learning this, he re
sumed his walk up and down the room.
"Presently the key began to click
again. This-time the horses were on
llialr xvn v tn tho nnsr The npit T eat
from the other end was that the horses
were at the post and would be off in a
minute. This information, instead of
steadying the managing editor, only In
creased his jumpiness, for he ordered
the men who were standing around to
cease their talking and also called
downstairs half a dozen times to know
if everything was ready below In the
press room
"In the midst of thi3 the key again
began to work, and I called out that
they were off,
"The clicks of the Instrument that
followed now told me that they were
moving along, nose and nose, at the
quarter. At the half mile Domino was
In the lead by a nose, and as I an
nounced this I was watching the man
aging editor, and I could see his Hps
framing the words 'No. 2,' which was
the Domino press.
"Dobbins just managed to shove his
nose in front at the- three-quarters and
the boss moved nearer the speaking
tube as I made this announcement
Coming into the stretch the two game
colts werehead Tind head, and the man
aging editor, with the mouthpiece of
the speaking tube pressed tightly
against his lips, was waiting for the
result
"Well, the result came along In good
season. But never so long as I live
shall I forget the expression on that
editor's face when the key told me that
the match race was a dead heat I hes
itated just a second before calling it
out, for I could almost picture In my
mind what effect It would have on him.
Finally I called out In as firm a voice
as I could, 'Dead heatf
"Well, that editor's knees just gave
way from under him. If he had not
grabbed a chair I am positive he would
have fallen to the floor.
" 'Dead heat?" he gasped, with a Uv
Id face. 'Are you sure?'
"I told him that it had been repeated
to me and that there could be no mis
take. He was too dumfounded to move
for two or three seconds, but when he
saw all of the men who were about to
jump to their places ready to throw to
gether a new scare head, while others
hustled around to find the stereotypers,
who almost to a man bad gone out of
tbe building, he came to in a jiffy and
was the same old hustler.
"Everybody took hold and worked
harder probably than he ever worked
before or since, and although we didn't
beat the opposition paper, as we were
so certain of doing, we were on the
street only a minute or so behind It
We afterward learned that they had
made exactly the same arrangements
to beat us and had been fooled in pre
cisely the same way."-r Washington
