At caucus Of the Democratic mem

ago, the gentleman whose name heads this
article was nominated for the position Of
United States Senator and, doubtless.
before this, he has been elected as the suc-
cessor Of Mr. Wiley

An active canvass hsd been made
against Mr.. Davis-nainly because Of his
adhesion to the Republicans in the
ozark days of the past" but such objec-
tions could hardly avail among body Of
Democrats who submit to the dictatorship
Of Jim Ferguson. The course pursued
by Mr.. Davis for the past two or three

empty confession that he was with US

energetic and earnest workers in this or
