The action of William B.

No candidate |h rhapa cvi-r had ho niucli at stake cii n single group of utterances uh Mr. Duvls lias on next Monday. There 1m plenty of evidence. that the coun tr.v at largo holds Mr. Dnvis In high regard as a man. The peo. pie are waiting to take hit* meas ure as a "statesman and possible chief executive. Much of the burden which c<ini<>8 to Mr. Davis at tills time is due to the fact that as the cam paign develops it is becoming more and more evident that it is to he a battle of personalities rather than of parties. Party ties. It Is generally admitted, were never bo loose as today. The Re publicans are malting a special pi i -a to the people to clect Calvill Coolidgc because he Is Calvin Coolldgo and not because he hap pens to be the nominee of any jmrtlcutRr party. They realise ??f the party were at odda with Mr. Cooiidge on nearly every one of the important measures In urged during the past winter and that a straight out party appeal iwould not have the ?<ame weight W. It h the people as ?n appeal for Mr. Cooiidge p< rHonally. The Republicans are saying that Calvin Cooiidge Is his own platform; his own pledge for the future. The Democrats of the country are hoping to nay the same thing for Mr. Davis. The '?progressive" campaign cent? rs almost wholly about the personality of Senator LaKollctte. Without him there would be no I.a Toilet parly In the field. The Senator led the movement from the Hlart and it was apparent to political ohs? rvers in Washington four or Ave months ago that noth ing could keep It I in out of the race lt)m year. " " The parties are being subordi nated this year as never before. The Democrats art" willing that some of their antics at Madison Square Carden shall be entirely forgotten and that the race shall be decided Upon tlio abilities of their chi "f candidate. Never-tlie "Tess The Democrats will innke more of a party appeal than eith er of their two rivals. It will be a part ef Democratic strategy to show that If they are given a ma jority in Congress they will func tion as n party and bring legisla tive order out of the legislative chaos of t ht ? past two years. The Democrats claim Ihut the result* of the Republican primaries In various states already show that th > ft/ publicans will have the same split forces in the two branch* s of Congress that have made them virtually Impotent during the past session. Men who voted consistently aealnst Mr. COOlfdfirt last winter have furled the (Tool Id ge banner about them selves for primary purposes, but there Is no reason to believe that upon their return to Washington they will be In any greater sym pathy with him. The Republicans are willing that much of their party record of i he past two yeaft shall be forgotten. This was evidenced In the platform adopted at Cleve land. The record In Congress was all but Ignored. The Republican slogan this year Is to look for ward. not backward. They arc willing that all the "pointing with pride" shall be done In the direc tion of Mr. Coolldge. Of course they will view the Democrats with alarm from time to time. That is natural. Tlie new combination of pro resalves surrounding Senators ^l.u Ko| let te and Wheeler, having no party record, are content to denounce both of the old parties and to promise everything for t! future. The Democrat* are not going to l-t the Republicans get away with their soft p?*dal policy If tl'ey can help R, Mr. Davis al ready has announced that Chair man Duller of the Republican Na tional Committee la very much mistaken If he believes Tea l*ot Dome and the cablnct ehangea at Washington are dead iMues. The assumption Hl4t Mr. Davtif might be too "blah minded ' t<> touch upon the "scanuals" seems to have been a mistaken one on the part of th? Republicans.
