RHODE ISLAND

Special Dis pat to The Star
PROVIDENCE, r. l., July r.
Rhode Island Democrats are not fly
ing any flags because OF the nomina-
tion of Davis and Bryan by the New
York convention. The general feeling
among them is one of intense disap-
pointment at the failure of Gov.
Smith to carry the day, for Rhode Is
land cast her ten convention votes
solidly and without break for Smith
for 100 ballots. Coupled with this is
the feeling that while MIR. Davis is
the highest type of citizen quite be-
yond reproach as a man. there is not
lican of independent mind should
desert President Coolidge for him.
AS Rhode Island is normally a Re-
publican state such a condition Is not
looked for to aid in the coming cleo
ton.
Worst of all local Democrats view
the nomination of Gov. Bryan as a
weaken the ticket in the east. The
name of Bryan is anathema to Demo-
Gratis here mainly because of the
part which william Jennings Bryan
played in the Ku Klux Klan fight at
New York and because of his dry
stand
Because of the extraordinary condi-
tions in the state the Legislature Is
still in session and the Democrats are
planning to bring state issues sharply to
the fore in the effort to offset national
developments. Their platform in the
fall will denoupce the Klan by name
and in extreme terms. They hope to
make creditable showing in a presi-
Dental year mainly on local issues.

unless the conservatives in the old
parties get together.
The Flrmer-Labor party in this
state will enter La Toilette as their
candidate and form the nucleus of his
organization. This has been decided
on within the past forty eight hours,
at a conference of the party in Great
Falls. Under whatever banner the La
Toilette men enter electors, the Wis
consin senator will poll tremendous
vote.
1t is possible that by standing pat
the Republicans will put President
Coolidge over, with some Democratic
support, but for Davis. at this writ
ing, there seems very little hope.

Special Dlspatcn 10 lie star
WILMINGTON, Del. July 12.-
Although the delegates from the
Democratic convention praised the
selection of Davis and Bryan when
they returned from New York, all is
not as harmonious as some of the
Democrats would make it appear AS
a matter of fact, the Delaware dele
gates never voted for Davis. They
were instructed for Willard Sauls-
bury and voted for him until almost
the last On the 102d ballot the 6
votes were cast for Smith and on
the lO3d ballot the delegation voted
as a unit for Underwood.
Although the delegation was classed
as dry, there is large element
in Delaware. particularly in Whining
ton, who want some change made in
the Volstead law. The long fight
waged between Smith and McAdoo
has left it's mark here and it will
be hard to erase it. The Smith fol-
lowing-and these were for him
largely on religious grounds-are not
jubilant over the selection of Davis.
although they are rejoicing over the
defeat of William Jennings Bryan.
1t is admitted on all sides that the
long wrangle in the convention
helped the Republican ticket in Del
aware. The anti-Klan men are riled.
The Klan is an issue here and there
are bitter partisans on both sides.
Those who are opposed to it are Bit
ter in their denunciation of the con-
vention. Despite the discord caused
by the wrangle in the convention, it
is pretty generally admitted. and even
by the Republicans, that Davis was
about the best man the Democrats
could have nominated and proba bly,
the one who will give Delaware Re-
publicans the hardest battle.

would have stopped any Democratic
DRIFT to La Toilette, and now they
see decided swing of liberal Dem
ocrats to the Wisconsin candidate.
though admitting :ha. Davis is such
a hi n grade candidate that he will
receive the general Democratic vote.
OF course, that does not spell victory
in such a Republican stronghold as
Illinois.
Not Hopeful of Illinois.
The Democratic hope is not that
Davis will carry Illinois, but that he
will win the election elsewhere. The
Democratic leaders had and probably
Stili have high expectations OF elect
ing their Candidate for governor,
Judge Norman l.. Jones. because of
the unpopularity of Gov. Len Small.
4 he truth is that Davis will probably
be able to pull as many votes Ior
Jones as Smith would, as the Nfan
issue. while it would help Jones in
Chicago, would hurt him through
southern Illinois where the big Re
puEllCan vote is.
Business men express satisfaction
with the action OF the Democrats, as
they look on Davis as sane and safe
and feel that the business interests

The Importance of the nomination
or Bryan has been overestimated ac-
cordlng to the political prophets,
though in view of the election being
thrown into congress. there will be
more talk about the vice presidential
candidates than in past campaigns.
Bryan will not add any strength to
the ticket in Chicago, and while he

prediction of those who are with

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BURLINGTON, VT, July 12.-While
the nomination of John w. Davis is
generally recognized as the strong
est the Democratic convention could
have made and while many Repub-
licans admit that he would probably
make an excellent President, Yer
mont, as the native state of President
Coolidge, will roll up an old-t time Re-
publican majority-quite likely larger
than ever before.
The delegates from Vermont to the
Democratic convention switched
without difficulty from Smith to
Davis when the break came, but they
did not favor the nomination of Gov
Bryan for the vice presidency, and
divided evenly between Davis of Kan
sas and Silzer of New Jersey for that
office. w. B. GATES.

FLORIDA

Special Dispatch to The Star.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 12.-
Florida is well pleased with the
choice of the Democratic convention
and will exert every means to cause
the election Of John w. Davis as
President of the United States in No
vember. The selection of Charles w.
Bryan as the vice presidential nomi-
nee is also highly pleasing to the
people of this state. While the Flor
ida delegation was pledged to Nc
Adoo and stood solidly fer him for a
while and had a majority for that
candidate up to the last day, Mr..
Davis was well thought of wherever
known in the state, and his selection
will not cause any difiidence on the
part Of the Democrats of the state.
The Jacksonville Times Union on
Thursday morning said: The con-
vention has done what the people
expected it to do. The man chosen
is above reproach. More than this,
ne is thinker and a doer-a strong,
clean, capable man, fearless, talented,
beyond criticism. The party can well

Press Approves Choice.
The Miami Herald CDemocratic)
says: THE convention has nomi-
mated a strong and able man. one
against whose private character
nothing can be urged. Mr.. Davis has
had long and eventful career; he
has served his country in numerous
capacities with credit" The Palm
Beach Post says: Every Democrat
everywhere can support John W.
Davis. The convention has chosen
one of the two strongest men whose
names were submitted, the other
being RalSton of Indiana"
The Tampa Times, which had
stoutiy championed the cause of I'm
derwood throughout the year, con-
cedes that Davis and Bryan can and
should win, saying: The ticket will
,-"hablf go further in healing con-
yention hurts mat any other could

hope for Democratic success than it
appeared a week ago there possibly
could be. The prospects of Demo-
cratic victory are brighter since the
war clouds have rolled away. Demof-
racy should win this year"
Prominent Floridans, discussing the
situation, regard the prospects for
Democratic victory extremely bright
with Davis and Bryan at the head
of the ticket. Gov. Cary Hardee, an
nouncing himself as enthusiastically
in accord with the nomination, really
expresses the general sentiment of
the state. There is no question of

Additional reports in The Evening

In the doubtful states of the mid

summed up in this statement by a
Washington State delegate:
Davis and Coolidge represent the
same thing. We'll vote for La Fol-
lette."
See Aid To La Toilette.
Other reports indicate that the
Davis nomination will bear fruit for
La Toilette. Even in Illinois Demo-
Gratis with radical leanings are ex-
pected to switch to the Wisconsin
senator
Democrats in Montana. Senator
Walsh's state, already concede that
the nomination of Davis will throw

the bare possibility that a coalition

ative Democrats will win for Coolidge.
The Democracy in New oIrk State
has been begun determined effort
to put over Al Smith for a third
term as governor. With this objec-
tive they freely admit they want the
governor to outstrip the presidential
candidate by far in the vote getting.
Disappointment Noted.
West Virginia, home of Davis, pays
tribute to her son in full measure.
Both Republicans and Democrats
have been unstinted in purely per-
SonaP' praise for the candidate, but
even the Democratic leaders quietly
agree that McAdoo would have been
stronger with the labor element of
the state. Maryland is pleased with
the choice, but disappointed over
Ritche'S failure.
In Delaware the long fight between
Smith and McAdoo has left its mark.
II is pointed out that the delegation
which voted for Salisbury on more
than one hundred ballots cast its
vote on the 103rd ballot for Under
wood and declined to switch.
Rhode Island Democrats ARE not
flying any flags because of the nom
ination," and the general sentiment
is that of disappointment.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, July Eff one
listens solely to the Republican and
Democratic leaders of Illinois. both
sides are well pleased with The nomi-
nations of Davis and Bryan. Under
the surface, however, comment is
different There is no G!insaNing
the fact that the rank and file of the
Democrats feel that the Democratic
party has come out of the New York
mess in better condition to make
real campaign than they had expect
ed The local leaders naturally are
optimistic, openly and predicting that
President Coolidge has a real contest
on his hands The consensus OF
opinion outside of the leaders is that
the nomination of Davis Will mean
more votes for La Toilette, and while
three weeks ago it was believed that
La Toilette would get most of his
strength from the Republicans. now
the Democrats admit privately that
probably a large number of Democrats
with Progressive or Radical leanings
may be expected to go with the SEN
etor from Wisconsin.
Democrats Express Satisfaction.
The Democrats say that they are
happy, as they can make a campaign
in which all religious and beer and
wine issues can be eliminated ard not
cause the party any embarrassment.
The Republican leaders were fearful
that Gov. Smith of New York would
be nominated. a selection that would
have worked havoc with the .Repub-
lican county candidates in Chicago.
Smith would have cut into the negro
and Jewish Republican vote. because
of the Klan issue Now that vote is
expected to be cast as it has been
normally in the past.
The Republicans are happy, they
assert, because Davis cannot hurt
their campaign in Cook County as
Smith would. Many NcAdoo leaders
are still disgruntled and still believe
that McAdoo would have been the.
strongest candidate, especially for IL
