 Praises Davis Character
 Referring to criticism from some quarters against Mir. Davis because of his connections with certain interests sa lawyer. Mir. McAdoo said:
 MT. Davis high character, tn- tegrity, and services should satisfy every apprehension of this sort" | If I did not believe this" con. tinued Mir. McAdoo, T could not render aid. because I have always believed that the interests of the people should never be subordinated to merely slavish partisanship. The Influence and power of these progress slve forces must not be dissipated by division among various political move ments; they must rather be consoli dated and used like an irresistible batterins ram of that party which offers the best instrumentality for service to the peope.
 statement in Full. McAdoo's statement in full follows.
 MT. Davis and have been friends fnr tlta lgcf pleasure of discussing the political sit uation with him yesterday. The great body of progressive democrats who supported me so strongly in the con- vention has been anxious to know my attitude towards Mrs. Davis candi- dacy. My visit was for the purpose of learning from MT, Davis his views on the important issues before. the coun- try l am satisfied that he is in ac- cord with the progressive program outlined mn the democratic platform,
 MT Davis professional connections and his associations with great bank ing houses and corporate interests, aI- though considered ethical in every way, have raised doubt in the minds of many as to his progressivism and as to his complete sympathy with the great reforms the democratic party must execute if it is to serve the gen. uine interests of the people"
 Defends Davis Career.
 These doubts are not justified be- cause a lawyers views on economic, political and social questions are no more to be judged by his professional associations than is a physicians to be judged. by the character of his pa- tents, Mr. Davis should be Judged by his opinions, not those of his cli- ents, and by the impression of sincer- ity and ability he creates in the public discussion of the issues
 MT. Davis high character. integ- rlty and service should satisfy any ap- prehension of this sort I am confi- dent that as president, he would faithfully execute the party's progress sive mandate. If did not believe this, l could not render aid, because l have always believed that the inter- ests of the people should not be sub- ordinated to merly savish partisan ship
 "There is deep-seated determina- tion on the part of the progressive forces within the democratic party. and those outside of it desiring to CO., operate, to force prompt and decisive action on the part of the next admin 3tration for solution of the pressing problems of agriculture, transporta- ton, tariff, taxation and foreign rela- lions which have been so horribly nanhandled by the republican admin stration.
 "The influence and power of these forces must not be dissi- 1ated by division between various po- itiCal movements; they must rather oe consolidated and used like an ir- 'csistible battering ram of that party which offers the best instrumentaity or service to the people.
 No Promise In Govt.
 Clearly there is no promise in the party. Clearly there is promise in the democratic party, if his progrissive influence is wisely ind vigorously used within that politi- al organization. The hope of genu- ne reforms and progress is more like y to be realized at this time through Ht uGiHucldIt party thdH lnIouBH my of it's opponents.
 'I shall therefore give the Davis 5ryan ticket my cordial support and hall take part in the campaign on my eturn in September"
