Speaker Says Democrats Would Be
Ashamed to Hear What Nation
al Committee Says.

Henry E. Davis brought the Wilson and
Marshall Democratic Association to its
feet with a shout of acclaim last night
when he combined national and local poll
tics in a plea for all local democrats to
get behind the Wilson band wagon and
give it a push.
Mr.. Davis favored his speech with the
advice he received and the observations
he made in New York talking with the
big fellows in the democratic campaign.
He warned his audience that although he
believed the democratic party would be
victorious there was nothing like a sure
thing in the present campaign and that
President Taft is the most dangerous
opponent which the democrats have. He
evidently did not think much Of the third
term party for he gave it but scant men,

At the close of Mr.. Davis talks things

Ed Benton, a member of the association.
started speech which probably would
have condemned certain efforts at har-
mony in the party, but as the speech
was not entirely to the liking of some
of the democrats present Mr.. Benton
ended in the middle of it.
Must Get Together.
II want to say few plain things to
YOU" began Mr.. Davis, .and base my
desire on some of the things l heard
and saw on my recent trip to New
York when ] talked with members of
the democratic national committee. l
want to say to you that we must get
together and fight for the good of the
party"
! He mentioned the warm moments in
| the Baltimore convention when three
separate sets of delegates were fight
| ing for recognition: and said that the
| incidents of those days had not been
without their sting.
II was one of those fighting for a
seat, and many of the things that hap
pened were most unpleasant to me-
| However, l had the experience. like
some others. Of sitting there spec
tator and watching Woodrow Wilson
nominated. l had another choice for
national committeeman. but ] want to
say to John r. Costello now that / will
work with him and for him for the
good of the democracy in the District
and in the country at large.
Against so-Called Factions.
81 take my place openly" he contin-
| ued, lin setting my face against the
chickering's of the soecalled factions in
this city. I have asked representatives
of these so-called factions to be here and
listen to this request There is a good
reason for it. This campaign needs
money. We have to get it. The Dis
trict Of Columbia has it's share TO raise
and we are not going to get it with fight
ing going ON among us.
1.-THE national committee in New York
is alive to the fact that to elect Wood
row Wilson it will have Il big tight, and
it needs money for the battle. We are
going to do our share, and the only
thing to. prevent it will be the continual
| pickering that has divided us heretofore
We don't want this. What we want is
to be loyal, willing and hardworking
! friends Of the leaders.
Would Be Ashamed.
LET US all forget our differences. and
| let us get into line and march as SOL
diers in solid phalanX and not engage in
| these little guerrilla warfares lat are in
| furious only to ourselves. You would be
ashamed to hear what the national COM
mittee has to say about us in New York
and yet l say that just now we are
| cleaner than we have been for a span of
years.
."The national committee knows We
have a great enemy in President Taft.
| democratic party. Any one who believes
Woodrow Wilson go to sleep and
| wake up elected President is greatly mis-
taken: and the national committee is
issuing q warning against apathy none
| too soon."
| In addition to Mr.. Davis, addresses
