LAFOLLETTE SUPPORTERS
AT CAPITAL JUBILANT

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE
pleasure among Democrats in the
capital over the nomination of John
w. Davis for the presidency was
not greater or more genuine than
that of the supporters of Senator
Robert LaFollette.
On every side, but for different
reasons, of course, the Democratic
nomination was held as eminently
satisfactory.
Democratic leaders and others
who knew Davis during his service
in Congress, as Solicitor General Of
the United States and later as am
bassador to Great Britain, lauded
MIN for his ability and success as
a statesman and predicted his sue.
cess as the party's nominee for the
White House.
The Progressives and officials of
The Conference for Progressive Po-
.itical Action, which Endorsed the
W l9NOilolli ocitdJOI IC0luGIIJteL
candidacy at Cleveland, were elated.
1t is the best thing that could
have happened" declared William
H. Johnston, chairman of the Cleve-
land Convention. "The American
people can no longer be fooled. Wall
Street has captured two tickets.
There is only one issue now. 1t
is who will control this government
the people or Wall Street. Thu,
has been the issue right along, but
until this bold action at Madison
Square Garden the Wall Street
crowd has always managed to drag
a red herring across the rrail in the
shape of a seemingly Progressive
candidate on one ticket or another.
''Now it is in the open and we
intend to ask no quarters and give
none. We are no longer engaged in
the making of a third party-but
in the making of a first party"

This statement by William H.

chinists, stated succinctly the re-
action of the Pregressives to the
solution of the deadlock at New

Senator LaFollette would have
nothing to say about Davis selec-

ever. -"
The elimination of William Gibbs
McAdoo and the selection nof Davis
removed the last and only ground
for worry in the Progressive camp
according to those close to Senator
LaFolIette.
