time let the prosperity filter down
to all their fellow cVzens,
Sometimes they do ard some
times they do not" Mr.. Davis said.
ut is very hard for any human
being who is given a privilege or
advantage ever to surrender it or
to think of it as anything but his
vested right.
"And there is the other theory Of
government, that the business of
government is not to look after the
well-being of the few, but to pro-
mote the welfare of the many, and
the test of its success is the welfare
of the average man and the average
woman, and that is democracy.
Greeted by a crowd of several
thousand at the city auditorium
here, Mr.. Davis received the most
enthusiastic welcome of his western
tour. The audience stood and
cheered while the band played the
"Star- Spangled Banner" The cheer
ing went on afterwards, and the
| League of Young Democrats of Kan
sas started a procession around the
hall reminiscent of a national pollt-
Iical convention. There was the us
ual cheering and singing and the
carrying of banners, with WomeR
taking a prominent part in he pro

marching the league members would
not have done, continuing the sing

! Presented to his audience by Gov
ernor Davis, John w. Davis went
| first into his service in congress
| in the enactment of legislation to
| curb the use of the injunction in
| labor disputes. He declared that
there had been abuse of this use,
an abuse unjust to labor and one
if continued that must bring the
courts into disreSpect.
Launching then into q discussion
of the distinction between theories
| of government as between the
! Democrats and the Republicans the
democratic standard bearer said he
wanted to address his audience
neither as Democratic nor Republic
ans, but as American citizens and
to point out how these theories
worked out in pratice.
TN 1910 the forces on privilege
won a great victory in the United
States" Mr.. Davis said. by the
. evidence of both Republicans and
Democrats the PayneAldrich tariff
act was a surrender to special
privilege in this country. And in
revolt from it the American people
! arose and asked for a new leader
ship, for some new hand TO point
the way and the answer to that
prayer and that aspiration was
Woodrow Wilson, Of New Jersey.
The mention Of Wilson's name
brought a cheer.
1.-The Little Green House"
Reviewing then the achievements
of the Wilson administration, Mr.
Davis said these things We're the
example and the picture of the JEFF
fersonian doctrine in practical op

Referring next to the 1920 cleo
ton, NIr. Davis said the America
people called for a change of gov
eminent and that the country was
told that this change would resul,
in the gathering of the best minds
at Washington. These minds gath
cred, he said, and made their foca
rallying point the little green
house in X street"
Declaring that there had come or
again the same hot contest fol
privilege and advantage that hal
driven the Republican party from
power u years before and an
other tariff had been written grant
ing to industriaHsts any rate they
dared ask for.
Asserting that President Coolidge
had told the country only recently
that the F'ordney- MCCumber law wa,
necessary TO keep out an avalanch,
of foreign goods, Mr.. Davis gav,
some Illustrations Of how the tariff
had operated. As one illustration HI
