DAVIS SPEECH LAUDED
BY SENATOR UNDERWOOD
Acceptance Address Is Viewed as
Ringing True to Democracy's
Fundamental Principles.

bs tHt Ns>hcdtfu litSs.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. August 12.-
Praise of John w. Davis address
accepting the Democratic nomination
for President. is given by Senator
Oscar w. Underwood, one of Mr..
Davis principal opponents for nomi-
nation at the Democ attic convention
in New York. in a statement today.
Mr.. Davis. in his sreech of accep
tance, rings true TO the fundamental
principles of the Democratic party"
the statement said He points out
the tendency of our times. in govern
ment and in business to foster mo-
hopoliStic control and destroys in
dividual opportunity to develop the
country's great natural resources and
often places undue burdens on the
consuming masses. He pledges him
self anew to the time honored prin-
ciple of our party that no man shall
enjoy a sDecial privilege. and equal
opportunity shall be the heritage Of
all. He challenges the record OF the
Republican party as to its enacted
Legislation that levies taxes at the
customs house to foster special in
terests rather than to supply the
needs of the public Treasury.
He does not name the Ku klux
Klan, but his discussion of the plank
in the Democratic platform reafflrm-
jng our belief in the constitutional
guarantees OF religious freedom and
his consideration of efforts to arouse
racial and religious dissension in this
country is so clearly and forcefully
stated that no man who reads can
doubt the object that he aimed at.
His words accepting the nomina
tion of the Democratic party for
resident are worthy of the leader of
a great party and give the challenge
that will herald his cause to victory.

DAVIS STARTS HIS CAMPAIGN
WITH VIVID SPEECH IN HARD RAIN

Frankly Mr.. Davis expressed his
approval of the League of Nations. He
admitted there are sincere minds in
America who oppose both the World
Court and the League of Nations.
II respect such opinions even
though I do not share them,'' he said.
But / must be permitted to doubt
the intellectual honesty of those who
profess to favor organized interna-
tional cooperation for peace and
who studiously turn away from the
only agencies yet created to that
end
Mr.. Davis characterized the partic
ipation of the Republican administra
ton in the efforts to aid in settle
ment of the troublesome German rep
arations as "bootlegging participa-
tion," and he promised that should
he become President the United
States would take its place as an
equal among the nations in such
proceedings.
Attitude on Dry Law.
The prohibitionist, no matter how
skeptical. can scarcely find fault
with Mr.. Davis declaration that he
intends to enforce the law il he
enters the White House. II would
hold in contempt any public official
who took with uplifted hand an oath
to support the Constitution of the
United States. making at the same
time a mental reservation whereby
single word of that great document
is excluded from his VOW" he said
Mr.. Davis himself did not escape
entirely the wetting which so many
of his supporters experienced last
night He spoke, it is true, with
roof over his head--the roof of the
speakers stand. But the driving rain
drenched him from his knees down.
and to less extent wet the upper
part of his body. He. was driven
Immediately to his home, however,
accompanied by Mrs. Davis, after he
had concluded speaking. 1t is not
believed that the experience did him
any harm.
The Democratic nominee plans to
leave here for New York late today
where he will confer with party
leaders and further arrange his plans
for the intensive campaign which is
to come later. He may stop off at
Washington for brief stay on his
way to New York. In any event it
is expected he will visit the head
quarters Of the Democratic national
committee in the Capital within a
week or 10 days.

REED ANNOUNCES
SUPPORT TO PARTY
Missouri Senator Agrees
With Davis, With League
Views Only Exception.
by the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY Mo- August IL
James A. Reed, United States Sena-
tor from Missouri. will support the
Democratic ticket, State and national.
he declared in statement mere to-
day.
Senator Reed. who is recovering
from an illness of several weeks.
made the statement after he had read
the address of John w. Davis. ac-
cepting the Democratic presidential
nomination, and after he had been
asked whether there was any truth
to rumors that he would not sup
port the ticket.
The MiSsourian said that, although
he did not agree with MIR. Davis
views on certain international prob
lens, he understood from the presi-
Dental nominees address that he
pledged there will be no entrance
into the League of Nations until the
people have, by vote, approved such
course" Mr.. Reed said that with
that attitude. l am content.
Never Reason for Doubt.
The statement says: Il intend TO
support the Democratic ticket. State
and national. There was never the
slightest reason to doubt my posi-
ton. The rumors you refer to origl-
mated in the Imagination or malice
of some one who desired to injure me
or the party.
II have, as everybody knows. been
quite i'll for several weeks and am
even now not capable of any sus-
tanned effort, physical or mental.
However, / will say this: l have
carefully read the address of Mr.
Davis. Upon all domestic questions
it tracks with established Democratic
policies. is admirably stated and is
perfectly sound.
DiSagrees on League.
LAS is well known, do not agree
with Mr.. Davis on certain interna-
tional problems. However. as l un-
derstand his speech, it amounts to
this: That he regards entrance into
the League of Nations as a purely
question. and that he
pledges there will be no entrance into
the league until the people have. by
vote, approved such a course. With
that attitude, 1 am content.
when the question is submitted, l
will be found ready to maintain my
position both in the Senate and In
public forums.
LAS the case stands, I see no rea-
son why all Democrats may not vote
the ticket and settle their differences
over matters international when they
are duly submitted for their decision.
The important thing is to place
our party in control in the State and in
the Nation in order that the great
policies of the party may be carried
out"
