Believe Davis and Bryan Will Make Strong Combination. H. E. O. Bryant, in Charlotte Observer. Washington. July lL—t-The nomina tion of John W. Davis and Charles W. Bryan to lead the Democrats in' the coining campaign, has caused Republican leaders here to check, up their ears and listen. , , Democrats are delighted and Repub licans are afraid of the results. There to but one argument against Mr. Davis, and the radicals make that—he has been too successful iu his profession, and has for clients the house of Morgan. The Hearst outfit has indicated the opposi tion to Davis will be because of his legal service for Wall Street financiers. No one has ever intimated that Mr; Davis ever received an unclean dollar. All who know him believe him to be absolutely honest. Southern delegates here on their way home are congratulating themselves on the selection of Mr. Davis. They be- \ lieve he can poll more votes than any other man before the convention. Although ninny southerners were in structed for Mr. McAdoo, they feared his unpopularity with business men and his connections with Edward L. Doheny would hurt him. They now feel tliat Mr. Davis will bold all of their forces in line. People Are For Davis. The South is not troubled with in surgent Republicans and Democrats; that is a western problem. The danger in the South, it was pointed out today, has been that bankers, manufacturers and merchants were inclined to vote the Republican ticket, ns they did in 1896 and 11)00, when William J. ißryan wgs running. Those doubtful people are now for Davis. : ] North Carolina merchants who were in New York on business while the con vention was going on declared emphat ically for Davis. A majority of North Carolina delegates preferred Davis to McAdoo: that was open secret. In the first days of the convention, before the voting commenced, there was - much Davis talk among the delegates, but the attack made on him by Mr. Bryan caused many to doubt if he could get the nomination. But when the bal lots commenced to tell the tale the North Carolinians were glad to get behind him.. On the 102nd ballot. 23 of them voted the roll was called, CltofrSnra^: Gardner announced 18 1-2 for DavW and 5 1-2 for Underwood. This was a very unusual procedure, for had Davis been climbing hard, he might have lost his grip on the convention by the Slump ing away of the North Carolina vote, but when it was plain as day that every other state was giving a little more to Davis, and that he was going to be nom inated, the Tar Heel supporters of Un derwood asked that their vote bp chang ed. and that was done before the motion to nominated him by acclamation was made. Democrats Are Delighted. Democrats are delighted with the nom- I ination. Josephus Daniels is very emphatic in his praise of Mr. Davis. He thinks that he is able, honest and will prove a very popular candidate. Governor Morrison is well pleased. He wns among those to pay his respects to Mr. Davis. Angus IY. McLean, iretiring national committeeman, was a very staunch McAdoo supporter. He helped to organize his campaign and did all he could for him. But he thinks that the country will appreciate the true worth of Mr. Davis. He has known him for years and likes him and his democracy and will do all he can to roll up a big majority for him. O. Max Gardner thinks that North Carolina will give Mr. Davis the largest vote it ever registered for a presidential candidate. He is strong for him. The enlisting of Col. William J. Bryan and his cotrie of party men will help to carry Mr. Davis over the top in November. Party leaders are enthusiastic over the situation. They believe the North, East and middle West will take to Davis, and they know the South will return more Democrats to Congress than it did two four years ago. That means Kentucky and Tennessee will do better. Mr. Davis will make local tickets strong er. Nebraska people are very pro nounced in their enthusiasm of Charlie Bryan. They assert he is a hard-head ed, well-to-do business man without any of the unpopular tendencies of William Jennings. He is a good man, but has been known to swear a little, and is not as violently opposed to John Barleycorn as his older brother. Every democrat and some Republicans will do as Governor Smith said he would do, pull off coats and vests and go to worfl. It was frequently stated at New York that about two-thirds of the delegates from the southern states were for Davis from he outset.

Washington, July 11. —The nomina tion of John IV. Davis by the Democratic national convention won much favorable comment in all quarters here today. He .is regarded by the Republicans witli profound respect, for they realize that he will make a most formidable op ponent of President Coolidge in the cam paign. The Washington Star, a Republican newspaper, had the following to say edi torially today: “Having toiled in record breaking deadlock for eight days the Democratic convention on the ninth day of ballot ting broke the blockade yestarday and selected as ■ the party's standard bearer the one man who of all the field is com petent to give it the best chance for vic tory in November, John William Davis, of West Virginia. His nomination was effected quickly when - the field was cleared of the obstructing rivalries, three Ifcfcocire* sig nificant lead, then a commanding posi-' tion and finally on the third ballot of the day to such a headway that his nomina tion by acclimation followed repeated changes. “In Mr. Davis the Democratic party has a leader who commands the sincere respect of the country, whose record in public life has been without blemish or question, whose personal character is high, whose whose abilities are excep tional. He is not identified with, the factions that kept the party's conven tion in rancorous, futile session for many days. He is attractive iu personality, gifted with the capacity to state in speech convincingly the deductions of an orderly mind. He has what politicians call the qualifications of a good campaigner. “In the preliminary estimates of the various candidates for the nomination and during the progress of the New York meeting objections were raised agninst Mr. Davis that lie was too intimately connected with ‘Big Business’ that as counsel for large financial interests he he was not acceptable to the ‘Rank and File’ of the party. Mr. Bryan de nounced him at one stage of the conven tion when a compromise candidate was indicated as essential lo save the party from wreke on th> rocks of dissesion as the lawyer of the plutocrats. Mr. Davis did not apologize for his relationship to his clients but maintained that he was justified in accepting the engagements of all who sought his legal services in honorable causes, a position that cannot be controverted. He Hid not make the mistake of abandoning a client because of possible contamination. “The Democratic party is to be con gratulated and honored for having sought and named so capable a man regardless of the possibility of alienating the sup port of these who look with suspicion and fear at the elements that maintain the Industrial and financial prosperity of the Country. In putting forward John IV. Davis as its candidate it as sures the country that whether it or the Republican party should win in No vember the country will have as its Chief Executive a man of high ability, of strict integrity, comi>etent and certain to ad minister the laws fairly and fully and with the highest devotion to the funda mental principles of the American gov ernment.” With Our Advertisers.

IVith tlie passage of the law every native born Indian in. the United States automatically became a citizen, Com j inissioner Burpe recently estimating the j number at approximately 125,000. At . least one-fourth ’of this number, it is | calculated, are adults aud therefore en titled to vote except in states where the election laws fix certain qualifications. | such as educational, property owner | ship or payment of poll taxes, that the ; new Indian citizens may not be able !to meet. j However, this condition is believed by I authorities on the subject to be only a minor hindrance to,,the newly enfran cltiqad Indians . gqjjiyi ia .the polls, Jbe chief obstancle mentioned being the lack of organized machinery. Most of the Indians, it is pointed out, live on closed reservations located in unorganized eoun j ties where there are no officials to pro | vide the- necessary ballots, polling places | and other election facilities. I Not only the Indians, in the particular circumstances described are prevented from casting their votes, but even white i eitizens living on the reservations have no such opportunity. I In one or two states, however, this condition is said to ligye been remedied by counties bordering on Indian reserva tions permitting the citizens in unor ganized jurisdictions to cast their bal lots in the adjoining counties. I More than 200.000 Indians had been made citizens before the passage of the new citizenship act and a large per centage of these are said to be placed 1 in the similar position of not being able to vote solely because the facilities en abling them to exercise this right are not available. | UNMASKED BANDITS STEAL $75,000 IN GEMS IN STORE ; Holds Up Five Men and Empty Jewei | ors’ Showcases and Safe.
