SIMPLICITY AND osTENTATloN

The simplicity OF the funeral ar.
rangements for ex-President Wilson
has been generally commented upon.
There would have been abundant
justification for a big military and
civic display, but his family preferred
simplicity, and it was more in con.
formlty with his nature.
Thus in death the great ex-president
sets an example of those modest man
ners that best become people in their
daily lives. People who have am
bition are not content to be obscure.
But there are two ways to attract pub
lie attention.
Some people do ostentations things
TO attract public attention.
to attract public notice Some do
freakish and lawless things for the
same reason. Yet there is a better
way to win public attention. That is
to render such good service that the
people seek you out and make you
conspicuous. People who try to win
notice by pretentious or freakish
ways seem to confess that they can't
get It on their merits alone.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BISMARCK, N. Oak, July 1.-THE
nomination of John w. Davis as
Democratic presidential standard
bearer, is something of cold blanket
upon Democrats of North Dakota
While there is almost universal
agreement that Mr.. Davis is of high
character and qualified to be Presi-
dent, the Democratic leaders in this
state generally were for McAdoo, be-
lieving he would appear more to the
radical vote and perhaps wrest the
state from La Toilette and Coolidge.
One of the most prominent Demo-
cratic leaders in the state, himself a
conservative, declared on hearing of
en- worse than Cox was in 1920"
Fears of Deadlock Lessened.
Many Republicans who see an
ominous cloud in the La Toilette
candidacy, were pleased with the Sc
lection of Davis, believing that if the
election should be thrown into the
House of Representative there would
of great ability and integrity to
choose from.
The radicals did not disguise their
pleasure of the nomination. They
believe that they can brand Davis as
"a Wall street man" and beset Cool
idge with the results of the Wash
ington investigations, and carry the
state for La Toilette, the nomination
of Gov. Bryan is regarded as a
shrewd move and pleased Democrats
who believe his nomination will heal
the wounds of his brothers attacks
on Davis and his own radical views
in many respects will help in coral
ling the western vote.

Approual of Dauis Indicated

Expert Political Writer'S Declare Nominee
Held in High Regard, While Bryan Is
Supported in A griculturaI States.

What does the country think of the
nomination of John w. Davis and
Charles W. Bryan and the chances for
party success
What is the reaction, now that
there are three full-f1edged candidates
about to enter a battle royal for the
presidency?
Realizing that these are the ques-
tions that all persons interested in
American politics are asking these
days. The Evening Star has made a
canvass through its corps of special
correspondents throughout the states.
These correspondents have each inter-
viewed representative citizens and
best political strategists and fore
casters in their respective balliwicks,
irrespective of party affiliations.
The first of the impressions appear
today. Others will follow.
The opinions of La Toilette leaders
and followers, of old-line Repub-
Coolidge Republicans and Dawes Re-
publicans; of McAdoo Democrats and
Smith Democrats, of William Jennings
Bryan Democrats and of the party
organizations; of labor leaders, of
ministers of the gospel and the man
in the street have all been sought.
The Star correspondents also have
llStened-in to comment made in
crowds that gathered about bulletin
boards and which was frankly ex-
pressed without any expectation that
it would be flashed by wire to the
National Capital as an indication of
the sentiment of the people.

OMAHA, Nebr., July 11.-Nebraska
Democrats, as a whole, like the
Davis-Bryan ticket nominated at New
York. With Gov. Bryan as one MEM
Der the feeling here is that Demo-
Gratis have good chance to carry
this state. This would not have
been the case had not at least one
candidate of the progressive type
been chosen.
The Nebraska delegation, which
was badly split through balloting on
the presidential nominee, united on
Bryan at the start, apparently indi-
eating a solution of previous con-
troversies.
William Ritchie. jr., former com
mander of the Nebraska American
Legion and cousin of Gov. Ritchie
of Maryland, spoke the thought of
most Democrats today when he said
that If the pronouncements of John
w. Davis are such as to convince the
west that the Democratic party is a
unit to give aid against tariff exac-
tions to which the west ascribe es
much of it's financial difficulty, the
presence of Gov. Bryan on the ticket
will hold the Democratic strength he
obtained two years ago in his $4,000
majority, and cause whatever strength
La Toilette acquires to come largely
from the Republican side.
The fact that Gov. Bryan oy ac-
cepting the nomination, eliminates
paign as a Democratic candidate for
reelection as governor tends to heal
any factional difficulty here.
Reception for Bryan
Nebraska Democrats already have
formed in Omaha a state Davis-Bryan
Club. Preparations are under way to
give Gov. Bryan big reception when
he returns, and indications point to
healing of party wounds that will
compel the Republicans to put forth
their utmost endeavor in the fall if
they expect to hold the normal Re-
publican majority" generally accred-
tied to Nebraska.
Gov. Smith had three delegates sup
porting him from Nebraska, and this
proportion to the total of sixteen
probably represents the wet influence
In the party in the state as a whole,
which would have been entirely sat
lshed with Smith and Bryan ticket.
II is recognized here that Davis is
a candidate who must create a fol-
lowing. So far as Nebraska is con-
cerned. he executed a master stroke
In advising Mr.. Bryan's nomination,
for President Coolidge is very pop
ular.
Gov Bryan has not laid so much
stress on dry Nebraska" as did his
brother when living here. He is more
OF politician than a crusader. He is
tireless campaigner and a man who
very much desires his own way But
the things he has championed have
won Nebraska votes and are likely
10 90 SO again here and elsewhere.
Republicans view Gov. Rryan as a
man who won by taking advantage
or wave of independent feeling.
His platforms have been anathema
from their point of view, but they
have brought votes.

MASSACHUSETTS

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, July 11.-Massac chusetts
Democrats are likely to accept the
Davis Bryan ticket with satisfaction
So far as one is able to Judge of the
average sentiment of the party today
it is favorable. In the pre-convention
days Davis name was often men,
toned as the best choice of the party
Gov. Smith came to the fore within
three weeks of the primary and sem
timent quickly crystallized for him to
the exclusion of all others.
That is the secret of the determined
stand to the last of Massachusetts
delegation for the New York gov
ernor, stand marked by no hint of
compromise. The Bay state delega-
ton was largely composed of the So
called Curley wing of the state De-
mocracy. Mayor Curley of Boston is
the only aspirant to date for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
AS an Irish-American he realized the
great help he would receive in his
campaign for election if Gov. Smith
were the nominee of the party. His
friends also realized the tremendous
impetus which such nomination
would impart.
Curley Grows Detected.
Naturally. the Curley Democrats
came home from New York greatly
detected because their idol could not
win, but the only comment they have
against Davis is that he is not the
type of man to arouse enthusiasm
One may take little stock IN the
Coolidge sentiment heard in the Bay
state delegation during the conven-
ton. Democrats hereabouts do not
desert their party, even for faVorlte
number of so-ca1led independent
Democrats will vote for Coolidge, and
they would have done SO no matter
who his opponent was.
Naturally, Davis is pleasing 70
the Democrats in banking and busi-
ness circles, and the leaders express
the opinion that Bryan was as good
choice for Vice President as the party
could have made. The position de-
manded western man.
Col William A. CASTOR, one OF the
Democratic leaders of the state, wouio
have gladly accepted the vice Presi-
delegation was never at any time
enthusiastic about him. In fact, they
realized that New England could not
hone for that honor. Both the Dem
ocratic and Republican press OF the
state is speaking most favoraI3hIS Ih
Democratic press was almost wholly
Smith. 1t is now cautioning the
party to forget it's difference and go
to work harmoniously for the ticket
which has a good chance of victory.
Upstate Democratic leaders who have
never looked upon the Curley can
didacy for governor with anything
but Indifference, may now look about
them for a candidate to oppose him IN
the state primaries. The failure of
Gov. Smith is looked upon as a de-
cided break in Curley's strength.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July lin spite
of the fact that the organization
Democrats of Ohio had hoped until the
last that the national convention
might line up behind Gov. James NJ
Cox, the outcome of the convention is
greeted by them with enthusiasm. 1t
is to be noted, however, that of the
prominent Democrats who make pub
lie expression of their opinions of the
ticket nominated nearly ali base their
praise upon the nomination for Pres
ident.

ment about the selection of Charles
w. Bryan for Vice President
Prnised by Governor.
Gov Donahey, who remained away
from the convention and was not in
volved in any of the contentious of
the Ohio delegation, said that in spite
or the long struggle, the strongest
possible ticket had been nominated.
Lowry F. Safer, Democratic candidate
for Congress in the twelfth district
against John c. Speaks, spoke in
terms of highest praise of Mr.
Davis who, he declared. had in Ali
measured up to the highest standard
OK American craftsmanship.
claude Meeker, candidate for the
senate to succeed Senator Willis said
a slngularly fortunate outcome of the
long contest over the nominations had
given the Democratic party the
strongest ticket it has had in many
quadrenniums
j. T.. Harper, state director of well
fare, declared that, all things consid-
cred, Davis was the strongest candi-
date the convention could have nomi-
mated.
Victory Is Forecast
w. f. Baker, state finance director
predicts Democratic victory, with the
most appealing ticket and platform
the party has ever presented.
T. j. Duffy, member of the state
labor commission, emphasizes that the
charge that Mr.. Davis was prejudiced
in favor of corporations and against
labor would fall fiat on organized
labor ears.
L. A. Boulay. state highway com
missioner, said the ticket was as
strong as the party has ever nomi-
mated.
Except among the farmers of Ohio,

who, if elected, will fill the presi-
dency with distinction.
He Is considered generally through
out the states, as the best choice
that could be made" by the Demo-

The efforts of La Toilette boosters
to disparage the Davis candidacy by
emphasizing his standing as a cor
poration attorney are discounted
even in the strongholds of radicalism.
The suggestions that organized la
Dor Will turn from Davis as silk
stockinger' and predisposed to cor
poratfons rather than the working
man are taken with a grain of salt"
in some states and by some leaders
of organized labor, while in some
other States an immediate swing of
labor to the La Toilette cause is
seen-such as Washington and Ne
vada. Wisconsin is to be a battle
ground for the labor vote.
Farmers Pleased.
The survey was made with special
interest in the northwest because of
the farmer vote, and it was found
that the farmers are ready to give
Davis and Bryan an attentive hear
ing to see what is promised.
The nomination of Charles w. Bryan
as Davis running mate is generally
considered as good politics to allay
possible antagonism from William j.
Bryan and as concession to the
farming interests, with an under
standing that the needs of the farm
ers will be given sympathetic con-
sideration. Bryan's home state is es-
pecially pleased with this nomination
as a happy solution to heal party
wounds and factional feeling.
Southern states express elation over
the ticket and predict strong support.

Session Tomorrow.
BRANDEIS is MENTIONED

Executive committee members of
the Conference for Progressive Po-
litical Action were summoned today
to meet in Washington tomorrow to
take preliminary steps for the COM
pletion of the presidential candidacy
of Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin.
The call was issued by William H.
Johnston. president of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, who
served as temporary chairman of the
convention at Cleveland which in
dorsed Senator La Follette's candi-
dacy.
The selection of vice presidential |
candidate, by action of the Cleveland
convention, was left to committee ac-
ton after conferences with Senator
La Toilette and representatives of
other groups interested in his candi-
dacy. The preliminary session here
tomorrow is expected to make ar
rangements and to canvass the situa-
ton.
No Sign by La Toilette.
No spokesman for Senator La Toilette
is said to have had as yet any indication
of certain choice for the second place
the convention left vacant. With the
conclusion of the Democratic convention
at New York a number of the La Fol-
lette adherents have returned to Wash
ington, and the discussion of prospects
has been resumed in a tentative way
Among those for the place are Justice
Brandes of the Supreme Court, Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, and Hus-
ton Thompson, a Democratic member of
the Federal Trade Commission.
Only one drift of sentiment has been
marked in the discussions thus far, per-
sons interested in the movement ap-
parently considering that Senator La
Follette's status as Republican men,
Der of the Senate should require the
naming of vice presidential candidate
who has been identified with the Demo-
cratic party.
Senator La Toilette himself has with
held all public statement on the subject
of the campaign and the candidates, al
though in recent days he has received
numerous visitors and admirers at home
