material interests of West Virginia,
and who is now The Democratic
candidate for Vice President, be.
gan life upon farm in Maryland.
He is now resident of Elkins,
Randolph county.
Mr.. Davis succeeded not by
chance nor because of any smiles of
fortune, nor by luck, but every
step of his way from beginning un-
I'll now has been the result of energy,
industry, the exercise of clear and
correct judgment, and the accept
ance of the past as a guide for the
present.
He was born in Howard Co. Md,
November 10Th 1898 and is the son
of Caleb and Louisa Brown Davis,
both Of whom are now deceased.
Mr.. Davis owes nothing to inherit.
ance, for his father, although sue
cessful in business, had reverses to-
ward the close of life, and lost the
greater portion of his accumala-
tons
The changes which have been
wrought in his affairs are entirely
the product of his, own energy and
ability and since he left home to
engage in business and battle with
the world he has built railroads,
organized banks, opened coal mines
and has sat in the Seuate of the
United States and has in many
other ways performed an sctive
part in the drama of national life.
His vigor of mind and body at
the age of 81 is remarkable and al
though his life has been full of toll
his spirit is as buoysnt; his interest
in affairs as keen and his activity as
driving as when he first left home
to battle with the world.

fact its war record is what gave it
control of the pie wagon. When
the pie wagon was attacked in No
yember, which it would be by the
enemy, they needed a War God,
and Tax Reform was the one they
had chosen. In vain did Bros.
Teter and Dayton plead for the
adoption OF some other war god,
but Bros. White and Dawson plead
so eloquently and gracefully that
they carried the day. Shortly after
this meeting it was let loose to
roam over the State and get ac-
quainted with the people. This
was fatal mistake for they have
been chasing it all over the State
since the day IL was let loose at the
State House. The result is, that
Bros. While and Dawson have call
ed for Convention of the faithful
to meet in Wheeling for to discuss
and adopt measures to capture the
Tax Reform. They have met.
There is harmonious blending of
the faithful They are not distress

is no fierce quarrelling as TO who

full in Preston that everything is har-
mony. His only fear is that they
will have great difficulty in finding
some one to accept the nomination
for Governor. Many have declined
the honor already. He is positive
now that none will accept unless
they can recapture Tax Reform.
White and Dawson he stated was
in hot pursuit after it, and Teter
and Dayton were adding fright to
its every jump. AT the rate it is
jumping they have given up hope
of recapturing il.
