DAVIS AN ABLE
 MAN SAYS MOVES
Speaker Praises Choice Of
 Democrats

Syracuse, \. r., Sept, ll.-The peace of the world depends upon the outcome of the presidential election. according to Pierrepont B. Moves, formerly United States RhineIand Commissioner, who spoke 10 the leaders of the New York State Farm Bureau last night at dinner given by J. b. Barnum, publisher Of the Syracusc Post Standard.
 "Amorican prUperity, like world peace, depends upon cectinE d man who knows how to force European developments in a direction which will insure peace aul prosperity therc,' he suid, adding that John W. Davis is such man."
 You are asking, how about the Dawes plan?" said Mir. Moves. The world is certainly greatly indebted to Gen. Dawes, Mir. Young and their associates. 1t looks as though their plan might end the present impassc and give the world breathing spell in which to rcorganize badly dam aged economic machinery. But this settlement goes not an inch towards eliminating those fears which make military advantage the basic prin- ciple Of European politic3
 Need Is Abroad.
 'rhe god of war Is still the god of Europe and will be until the United States openly joins with the lovers of peace in other nations to build some new and definite machinery for outlawing war. The world is cry ing for our leadership. The people of the United States are crying for a leadership which will face disa- greeable tasks without lodging Never before, since the Civil War have we so woefully needed lead ership which could forget petty poli' tics when the vital interests of thu country were at stake.
 T am no politician. My aim is tC be a good citizen, which means, es pecially at such time as this. citi zen who is willing to devote som time and thought and work to tn interests of his country. l would a leave be republican as democra it republican politicians would le me do so without shame. l was republican until I was forty-tw years old.
 The Dawes Mission.
 "When Gen. Dawes and MI Young went to Europe I read tn official statement from the Whit House that the administration dis claimed all connection with tn Dawes mission and all responsibilit for anything it did or said. I couple all of this with the increasing eV dence of corruption and venality z Washington, and I prayed for ma of brain and brawn to clean up ot Augean stable.
 q had little hope that the polit clans would let us vote for such man. Personally, l did what little non politician could do at the dem, cratic convention to secure the non ination of John w. Davis, Thcl semed no hope, and then the unc, pected happened. Gentlemen, u nomination of Davis was a mo cheering evidence of the ultima sourdess of our democracy.
 Davis Able.
 "John W, Davis, is wonderf man. He is the most alI-arOund al man I have known. He is an ho est thinker and an honest doer, l has no axes to grind. He comes the nomination with no obligation any man. He knows his country ] knows our Washington. He knov ss few men do, the real condition world affairs. He is no sentiment; ist. He is practical and has lii long habit of working vigorously a doing thoroughly whatever need be done.
 We have been waiting fir j1 such a man. He would make president of whom we could all proud. He would make this count prosperous. He would help world to peace"
