.,ue Of July 10th:
"ln nominating John w. Davis
for the Presidency, the Demo-
cratic party has assured the coun-
Try that it has neither trade nor
parle with that species of radical
ism which has acclaimed itself
progressive" while it is really
destructive.
Mr.. Davis is sane, normal, in
telligent, capable, efficient, and
experienced He stands with his
feet on the ground, not with his
head in the clouds. He has a
knowledge of the needs of the
country and his record as a diplo-
mat in the Court of St. James
proves him a wise man so far as
the nations foreign relationships
are concerned.
MIR. Davis, like Coolidge, is
entirely competent to fill the
great office of President of the
United States. In the election of
either man the country has moth
ing to fear. 1t is inconceivable
that selfish blocs or associations
should, in the mad pursuit of
Government aid, get any encour-
agement in the White House,
when it is tenanted by either
Coolidge or Davis--and since one
Of the two is to be chosen at the
polls in November, it is some
thing of a pleasure to give that
assurance to Commercial readers.
''The outcome of the long,
drawn-out strife of the conven-
ton in Madison Square Garden
is encouraging. If Mr. Davis
does not amalgamate all sane
divisions of his party it will not
be because he is not all right, but
the other way round.
Whatever of apprehension
business men the country over
have been experiencing, because
of the political outlook, can now
be dismissed. The nomination of
John w. Davis has, we believe,
restored to the commercial and
financial world that feeling of
confidence in the future which is
SO necessary for the free and I'M
trammeled progress of what we
all know under the general head
of business"
The National Republican.
Even the National Republican, tn
'fficial mouthpiece of the most re
dictionary section of the Republica
,arty, could not desist from praisin
Mr.. Davis. In its issue of July 19t
{ declared:
John w. Davis of West Vir-
ginia, is perhaps second in ability
to no public man of the period. A
scholar and gentleman of high
personal character, wide and sue
cessful experience in public af-
fairs and of proven capacity in
his profession and in public life,
his fortuitous nomination by a
convention worn out with fruit
less effort to nominate some one
else, put at the forefront of the
Democratic campaign the most
creditable candidate personally,
who has carried the standard of
his party since the Civil War.
John w Davis is a man of
great ability and high character,
who, if elected, would make a
capable President"
Barron's Weekly.
Mr.. c. w. Barron, the editor o
his financial weekly, appearing il
New York, Boston, and Philadelphia
vas rather generous in his opinion
" Mr.. Davis as can be seen from tn,
ollowing excerpts from an articl,
If his appearing in his organ unde
late of July 21st, and purporting t,
le a summary of the views held il
hancial circles:
Mr.. Davis stands very high as
a lawyer and adviser ia the finan-
cial, the business. and the politi-
cal world. Indeed he is ranked BY
certain of his admirers along with
Choate and Root. He is sound i'm
every way as a man and profess
sionally, and the wonder is that
he could come forth as a Preisi-
Dental candidate from such a
convention as that which for so
many days held the attention and
something of the interest of the
American people.
Nobody can question the stand
ing of Davis. He stands for stall
