Presidential Possibilities
And Impossibilities
VI-JOhn ". Davis.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
VI-John ". Davis.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

John W. Davis of West Virginia
is one of the most brilliant men ever
suggested for the presidency of the
United States. In intellectual at
tainment, oratorical ability. legal
achievement. and international back
ground he has few equals in America
today. AT present he is the head of
the American Bar Association, one of
the highest honors that can come to
an American lawyer
OF Mr.. Davis IL was frequently
said that when he was solicitor gen.
eral of the Department of Justice no
man argued before the Supreme Court
with more brilliancX than did he. The
late Chief Justice White once paid
Mr.. Davis a compliment in saying
that he had never seen better law
yer. All those who witnessed the
last convention of the democratic
party in San Francisco remember
that the name of John w. Davis car
ried with it one Of those it-might-
have been situations that occur every
now and then in politics. One little
concession on the part OF the Palmer
contingent and a little yielding on
the part of the McAdoo element and
John w. Davis would have been the
nominee of the convention. There
was a moment when the whole con-
vention might have gone to himsif
It were not for the deadlock between
the Palmer and McAdoo forces.
Inclined TO VETS.
Mr.. Davis Is inclined to be a wet
in a prohibition argument. The
state from which he comes-West
Virginia-makes him politically suit
able. as it is always classed as
doubtful state. AS for the Wilson
strength i'm the democratic party, it
is friendly to Mr.. Davis. He was
appointed by President Wilson to be
solicitor general of the Department of
Justice, and a little later to be Amer1-
can ambassador to Great Britain. he
has many friends in the legislative
world. His record as chairman or
the judiciary committee of the House
NJ Representatives was an impressive
one. He was a leading member OF
Congress, a remarkable speaker and
personally very popular.
Mr. Davis chances as a demo-
cato nominee are At the money
aid to have heen afected by MS
leaving the government service ne

SION and among his clinrts is j. r.

Cor big bankers will never get the

where tho Wall street sentiment

section apainst big business 10 based
moro or less on the belief that the
bankers and city folks get the
largest share in prices at which farm
products are sold. namely, in freight
rates and distribution.
stnrd of Opponents.
Strictly speaking. the fact that Mr.
Davis has been a lawyer for any
concern for several. years ought not
to be handicap-probably II would
not be a serious one If the politi-
clans were disposed to ignore it
themselves IN nominating Mr.. Davis.
