Home Town of Davis,
Wild With Joy, Plans
Welcome for Nominee

HARRISBURG, West. Va, July
1O.-With the biggest celebration in
its history completed, this city to.
day had a morning after" feeling
OF quiet. Following the spontane-
Gus demonstrations of last night in
honor of John w. Davis, native son,
and candidate for the presidency on
the Democratic ticket
The home town of the Democratic
nominee literally went wild late
yesterday afternoon when the news
of Davis nomination was flashed
from New York.
Streets were packed with surging
throngs shouting the name of Davis,
and screeching automobile horns
and factory whistles started a din
that continued throughout most OF
the night.
Organized celebrations got under
way last night and a mammoth mass
meeting was held on the lawn be-
fore the court house where Davis
practiced his first case Of law.
George w Duncan, a boyhood
friend Of Davis spoke feelingly of
their youthful days, and told of the
sterling qualities the nominee has
possessed since his school days.
An invitation has been sent to
Davis to come here at his con.
venience to attend a gigantic com.
munity meeting of honor.

Californian May Have Some

NEW YORK, July 1O.-"I have
nothing to say"
This was the only comment Will
lam G. McAdoo would make today
on the outcome of the Democratic
national convention, in which he
was one of the leading figures.
Asked the direct question of
whether he would support the
Davis Bryan ticket, McAdoo looked
up from his breakfast only long
enough to repeat:
II have nothing to say"
May Have Statement.
McAdoo intimated that he might
position prior to his sailing to
Europe on Saturday aboard the
Homeric.
"If / do issue such a statement"
sho said, II will answer your ques.
ton then"
McAdoo denied with some heat
reports that there had been rift
between himself and his campaign
manager, David L. Rockwell.
eve never were more friendly"
he declared.
He had breakfast with Rockwell
this morning and discussed, pre-
sumably, his future plans. But
about these McAdoo would not talk
tn newspaper men. He said he did
not know how long he would stay
abroad or where he would spend the
sumner. According to reports,
however, the McAdoos will be domi.
ciled for the summer at Monmouth
Beach, N. J., where a house has
been rented.
Has Kept Silent.
Aside from a perfunctory and con.
vcntional telegram of eongratula-
ton, McAdoo has not expressed him
self concerning the nomination of
Davis.
It is known, however, that some
Of his friends have urged him to
run Independently, or to come out
for Senator La Follette's ticket, but
titus far he has refused to commit
himself.

MOONSHlNE EXPLODES
BURNING MAN FATALLY

Pierce zeigler, fifty, tenant of the
Cline farm on which John Cline and
his aged wife were brutally muir,
dered last fall, is dying at the
Washington County Hospital, where
he was taken late yesterday after
being found burned almost to a
crisp with the flesh falling off in
places, but still conscious and able
to talk, rolling in agony along the
road near Boards Church.
Several jars, said to have con.
tanned moonshine liquor, exploded

course undoubtedly carry the solid
South. He prosumable also will
carry most of the border States be.
tween the North and South.
The true contest then remains in
the States which lie in the central
north States of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. In those States the trade
union vote of trade union miners
is peculiarly strong.
The Final Analysis.
The final question then comes T.
be:
Will the trade union vote In those
States get reconciled to Mr.. Davis
through the liberal and progressive
iC cas- which he undoubtedly will ex.
press in the course of his campaign?
Will it on the other hand desert
him and go to Robert Marion La
Toilette?
Will it go still farther, and in
revenge and for the purpose of vot.
ing for a really actually possible
winner, give itself to Coolidge?
The questions cannot today be
definitely answered, but the point is
that they definitely exist.
They bring it about that at the
end of all our national conventions
the central marginal point in nur
central marginal States can be
stated as follows:
This year, more than in any other
previous year, the American labor
vote is off all reservations Of any
and all parties. and is out to form
its own political conclusions accord
ing to its own labor impulses.
Just what the outcome may be,
whether for good or for bad, re.
mains undisclossd TIL November.

Quiet Reception In New York.

Quiet Reception In New York.
NEW YORK. July 10.-Only a
handful of railroad switchmen and
yard workers saw the sonber. un-
lighted train taking the body Of
Calvin Coolidge, jr., to its grave,
pass through New York. early TO-
day.
There was nothing in the way
of a ceremony for the last car, in
which, under single electric lamp,
rested the coffin of the son OF
the President of the United States
under guard of United States Ma
rines. Still, a hush--or as near
to a hush as it is possible to
achieve in the Pennsylvania ter
minal--fell over the vicinity.
The little group of railroad work
ers stood for a moment with hats
in hands, then went about their
work as silently as they could.
Couples were shut without the
customary bang and air brakes
lowered their whistling to a hiss.
Only ten minutes was spent in
the terminal while engines were
changed and cars inspected. Then
the train continued on its run
toward Northampton, Mass, where
the funeral is to be held.
There were seven cars in the
train. All were dark, save the last
with its single light.
A marine raised one of the win.
dow blinds for only a moment. The
railroad yard men saw that the
interior of the last car-"the ad-
vance"-was so heaped with floral
designs that there scare remained
room for the coffin and its honor
guard.
In the other cars were President
and Mrs. Coolidge. intimate family
friends, Cabinet officers, diplomats
and Secret Service men. None OF
these passengers were visible.
The train arrived in New York
at 31a a. m, and at 3:25 o'clock
continued on it's way over the New
York, No. Haven and Hartford
tracks.
