New York, Oct. 2s-The UNQUALIFIED
declaration that he would be elected
on November 4, made by John w.
Davis. Democratic presidential nomi-
nee, upon his return here from the
middle western tour. was echoed to-
night in statement issued by Glenn
l.. Shaver. chairman of the National
Democratic Committee.
Mr.. Shaver called attention to politi-
cal history, which he said showed that
the dominant political party always
had been defeated in presidential con-
tests whenever a third party of ap-
preciable proportions han participated.
'There Is now every reason to be-
lieve this will be the result in 1924"
Mr.. Shaver said.
Not In any campaign within men,
ory, he continued, has there been
so large number of voters who are
either undecided or who have not ex-
pressed themselves at this stage of
the campaign. In this respect this
campaign stands conspicuous and
alone.
Not In any campaign within a gen.
Grafton has there been so great a drift
toward any candidate as is now in
progress towards John w. Davis. And
am convinced from authentic reports
from every part of the country that
John w. Davis will he the next presi-
dent of the United States.
Undeniably vast majority of the
voters do not want the reelection of
President Coolidge.
The next congress will be Demo-
cratic. That statement is scarcely to
be questioned. This would leave him
powerless. The people know that
would mean four years of inaction
Ihcy are now realizing this can only
De prevented by voting for Davis, not
by voting for LaFollette.
The dominant political party has
always been defeated in contests for
the presidency wherein a third party
or any considerable proportions has
been entered. There is now every rea-
son to believe this will be the result
In 1924. And there has never been a
great political contest in this country
wherein several political parties were
the contestants that the people did not
choose from the list of candidates the
concededly ablest. strongest and best
qualified man. In 1924 that man is
John w. Davis.
Good Judgment and common sense
are directing the drift to Davis and
common sense and good judgment will
elect him on November t."
TOMORROW Mr.. Davis will continue
work of drafting his final political
speech of the campaign. scheduled for
delivery Saturday night.

Washington. Oct. 26.-Adoption Of
business methods in charity work
was lauded tonight by President
Coolidge in a talk over the radio to
a meeting in New York of the Fed
Grafton of Jewish Philanthropic So
cieties.
Spread of the community ches-''
system of financing benevolences.
philanthropics and charities, Mr..
Coolidge said. has not only eliminat-
ed the waste of indiscriminate
charity" but has accomplished much
in the service of organizing these
works of human helpfulness."
THE best help that benevolence
and philanthropy can give" the
president declared, lis that which
induces everybody to help himself.
Nothing is finer than the open
hand and the generous heart hat
prompt free and unselfish giving
but modern social science 1.nows,
also, that ill-directed charity is often
directly responsible for encourage
ment of pauperism and mendicancy.
The best service we can do for the
needy and the unfortunate is to help
them in such manner that their
sclf-respect, their ability to help
themselves. shall not be injured but
augmented"
Mr.. Coolidge referred to the bud
get as among the noblest monu-
ments of virtue" and the adoption OF
it as the basis for the federation
system could be characterized as "a
fine accomplishment" He lauded the
federation for setting up an example
of successful. practical. helpful
business administration" which he
declared is a monument to the lin
dependence and self-reliance' of the
Jewish people.
II want you to know" he said,
that l feel you are making good
citizens, that YOU are strengthening
the government. that YOU are dem
onstrating the supremacy of the
spiritual life and helping establish
the Kingdom of God on earth"
