LEADERS FAVOR DAVIS

The men who have exercised the
largest influence in the Lincoln -Roose-
welt league movement and who are
still In position TO exercise such infiu-
ence are for William r. Davis for gov
ernor They have been for Davis for
months. His name was seriously dis
cussed and seriously approved bv
league leaders more than year ago.
For several months a more or less de-
termined and consistent effort has been
made TO so shape the situation that
Davis would consent or could be forced
10 make the fight
This statement is not intended to
convey the impression that the govern
Ing committee of the league has taken
any formal action or that it, as a BODY.
has given either consent or direction
to the attempt to bring out Davis II
does mean that prominent leaguers-
leaguers with more than passing au-
thority and the last word in influence
have been working directly or Indirect
ly upon Davis and that their work has
been known and approved by leaguers
whose advice has been accepted and
will be accepted by the league next
pear
Davis is the one man most feared bv
both the Curry and Gillett contingents.
There is no disposition on the part Of
either the Gfllett or Curry forces TO
underestimate the dangers Of a situa-
ton ia which Davis might figure. They
prefer to console themselves with the
belief or pretended belief that Davis
viii persist in his refusal TO become
g candidate for the nomination.
Insisting that Davis will not permit
himself to be drawn into the fight as
q candidate, some of the more conser-
vative men in both the GilIett and
Curry camps admit privately that Davis
would have something more than a
bare chance of winning in a three
eornered fight
Their interest in the attempt to get
Davis into the fight is heightened by
the belief on the part Of many poll
ticians that southern California will
present q candidate for gubernatorial
honOrs. Phil Stanton is not only tun-
ing his ear 70 catch the 6rst note OF
the popular clamor for himself, but he
Is devoting some energy, If nothing
more to the encouragement of the
Idea that p. Stanton holds the COPY
fight on the sUccor for which an en-
i-ghtened public ought 10 yell. Some
Of them believe that if the public per-
sists in its modest refusal to scream
Tor assistance Stanton will go to the
rescue as a volunteer. Be that as it
may, a southern candidate will add
little or nothing to the comfort of the
DTK1nlLaIou men 50 lOuB as llere is
g chance that Davis may be coaxed
into the fight.
laeanwhiie Davis has said NO" and
then No" He may convince the
teaguers that he can not be ca1oled or
driven into the fight, but until he does
gentlemen looking for Lincoln -Roose-
