Davis Won His First Case As Party Standard Bearer All Fart ion* anil Lra?lrr? in Sprrrli of Ac rr i" anrr l)rliv?*rr<l in Dow ii|?oiir of Haiti ?l < !liirk?*l>ur{! Monthly INi^lil II) DAVID LAWKGNCR . . ir??yri?ht. nil. By Tit* Ad?in<il ?' ?'larkslmrif, \V. Va? Aujt- 12. ? John W. Davis has won h lire' case as Presidential nominee ? he has completely captivated all factions and leaders of the Democratic partv. Not even Hoodrow Wilson with lii*. tirat acceptance^ speech in 1912 stirred up tko enthusiasm and emotions of i lie 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 tho Ameri can Jury from now on, as ho Mm r?-lf expresses It, from early morn- ' inu to lute at u ti?l "It will be no kid glove contest." Tammany Hull had wanted Al Smith, Southern ami Western Dfiimrratii hud fought vulllautly to nominate McAdoo but the con gratulations which the- nominee r? r?'iv? d on lilit speech gave tin* iui]?i ?-.ssi.on .that there never Jjad liri'fi a contest ?all were a unit in acclaiming the iuw standard bearer as having made. good ill . the outset witli them. This correspondent mingled af ti rwards with the Tammany chieftains and with the leaders from tho Wrui and other sections of the country. What they said in private was an amazing tribute to tho nominee. Their applaud was not given for "harmony" reasons? they talk and art as if tiny ItHlcvt'd Davis the greatest Democrat sine:' Woodrow Wilson and some have gone ho far as to r-ay In* makes a bettor speech and a belter argument. , Tammany noted the denuncia tion of the Ku Klux Klau and own though the name of tiie or rani/.ution was not specifically mentioned at this time ? though it will be In later speeches ? the pledge of the candidate that he ..will apply no religious test If elect* d President ??f the United States was received with signifi cant applause for this is a chal lenge to the Ku Klux Klan on (.lie ?<f its cardinal principles. The scene at the notification cer? niony was unlike nny cere mony of Its kind that has hith erto occurred. The candidate's neighbors and townsfolk turned (?lit to cheer him and n conserva tive estimate of the slate of tlio crowd would be about 25,000. I'ut with the radio broadcasting the speech everywhere It wan no r.erious injury to the ceremony that it began to rain bucketsful. The nominee never altered the in flection of hie voice or hurried his delivery. He knew lie was speak ing to a larger audience of mil lions which were not fidgeting uncomfortably in the rain. All tho crowd heard Senator Thomas Walsh's speech but it rained Just as Mr. Davis began. It Is an Interesting coincidence that in 1012 after an unbroken string of fair fiiiyH. Wood row Wil son encountered his first rain stornt of the campaign in Clarkn burg and spoke Just the same to tli'* assembled West Virginians. Thousands wcro drenched to the Kkln but they stood by and cheered enthusiastically. 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 ln fi psely of their affection than do the people of Clarksburg to Da vis. Speeches of notification are Im portant. of course, um interpreta tions of the national platforms and as the opening gun In the campaign but they are of greater Importance to tho party workers. The leaders really want to see how a candidate will handle him self on the stump. They want to he inspired tn go back home and fight for their nominee. The choice of the convention Is not al ways welt known to the rank and file John Davis enters the Dem ocratic lists almost as unknown to the leaders as was Woodrow Wil son In 1912. Their eyes are turned critically toward the nom inee ? they want to see how he will measure up In a fight. The Democrats who came to Clarks burg went away singing the prais es of their nominee? then are wondering even now how by acci dent they happened to pick so brilliant a speaker, so cogent an ndvocste. That the first case with in the Democratic party Is a vic tory for the Davis personality and Intellect. From now on. wllh a united party behind him, there ? ill be n real fight effort made by th> Democrats along the lines laid down by the candidate In his no tification speech. <;enki<al hines to SUCCEED PERSHING Wantilnirton.

William Hardy Hardlson has responded to the call of the suf , ferlBH. At 79 years of age. on the roldent day of the winter, he was making his rounds; humming a , snatch of song while his mind grappled with the problems of his profession. As I sat looking at him. I could only wonder. "What does a coun try doctor know at 79?" When one thinks of the things that he has seen In this age of change, he becomes a character more Inter esting than the heroes of fiction. He hns lived through two great wars rfnd the {{evolution of Med leal Science. He has had th? ex perlence of living In the greatest century of discovery that the world has ever known. William Hardy Hardlson Is but little known outside of two coun ties In Kastern North Carolina. Hut If the people of upper Tyr rell and lower Washington coun ties were called upon to name the man who has host served their community In the last half cen tury. the name of William Hardy Hardlson would stand without a rival.
