 ROAD TO PRIVILEGE
tBy Associated Press.)

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Sept. 25.-Amid the familiar surroundings of his early po- litical life, John w. Davis, democratic standard bearer, today told the people of his native state that it would be ms ambition if elected presi- dent to give the American peo- ple a government honest from top to bottom" in which laboring men, farmer and con- sumer would all feel that they were being treated on an equal basis. %
 There will be no Falls, no Daugertys, no. Forbes. no Gaston B. Means, no Jess Smiths or Manningtons,' in the tlsmocratic administrator, the nominee promised as he faced an assemhlase on vacant lot. where once had stood the state capitol building in which he had served as A member of the iesisla- ture.
 2 Outlook Promising
 The political outlook in the western states, Mir. Davis declared he found "yery promising on his recent tour, and added that he had every expecta- tion of triumph in the November cleo ton.
 In addition to the principal addresses. one at Charleston in the afternoon md another at Huntington tonight, Mir. Davis spoke from the platform of his car at eight stops in agricultural or coal centers, expressing his pleasure at looming back after long wanderings to renew the acquaintance with the home people," and his faith in party success.
 In his Charleston address, MT. Davis paid his respects to Republican cam paign management.
 Finds Strategy Unique
 'eThe strategy is quite unique" he said. "It consists in the, first place of silence. We are confronted this year for. the first time in American poli- tics with the theory that the way to win a battle before the people is to keep quiet about it.
 ''Then when silence gets a little bit thin their predictions of demise appear. And when that fails we have the .bogey man again. Now with great respect to my Republican friends whom l love and revere and whose candor, sincerity and honesty I concede without reserve, those who manage their campaigns are the most ingenious creators of political scare-crows the world has ever known" "
 kLok kA nf tvuya avyfv1 the bloody shirt" and those when the talk was of panic had gone, he con tinued:
 ''The latest 'bogie man is that around every corner is stationed red or a 'bolshevik' with a bomb in his hand about to blow up the Constitution of the United States unless General Dawes and his associates are called forth to defend it."
 People To Choose
 Taking exceptions to statements that the campaign is between the Republican party ''that wants to save the Constitu- tion," and those under Senator La Fol iette "who seek to destroy it" the candi- date said the American people this fall will choose the road they would travel for four years.
 "Ore road is the road to privilege, he said, land on that road they will find the doctrine prevailing that it is right 60 to administer the government that some may be made rich, some may be made prosperous at the expense of their , fellow citizens, hoping that their pros perity may filter down to the masses. The other is the road of equality, and on that road the doctrine prevails of a government for and by, not some of the people, but all of the people, of equal rights to all men and special privilege to none,"
