(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Sounding again his position on questions of religious liberty, personal rights and eulOgizing Woodrow Wilson for championing the cause of self-determination in behalf of smaller nations, John W. Davis, demo- cratic presidential nominee, tonight con cluded his third campaign visit to Chi cago and started southward to East St. Louis, Illinois and St. Louis.
 MT. Davis rushed through his last few hours here, making three speeches in as many sections of the city tonight. The first was before an audience in the Bohemian quarter, the second before a Jewish gathering, and the third be- fore an audience of Polish people.
 Factions Solidified
 Without taking into consideration the effect of MT. Davis two-day stay in Chicago on the presidential campaign in Illinois, state and local leaders of the party made no secret of their feel ing that he had done much to solidify and stimulate the Cook county demo- cratic factions.
 It was principally for that purpose that MT. Davis came into Chicago at the request of George E. Brennan, dem ocratic national committeeman for llll- nois, and in the face of objections on the part of some of his political ad- visors.
 In his address in the Bohemian quarter, Mir. Davis said he did not see America as great block of concrete, but rather as great triumphant col umn, built of many stones and many colors, making single structure that no storm could efface or destroy"
 For Equal Justice
 The democratic standard bearer as- serted that the peoples combining to make this structure could have equal opportunity by industry, the building of character and the practice of thrift provided they lived under a government that gave special priyilige to Ione and equal justice to all.
 MT. Davis was greeted by an audience that overflowed the hall into the streets, where hundreds more heard his address through an simplifying device. He was roundly cheered when he declared Czecho- -Slovakia l5as the first of the new nations set up after the World war to erect it's own government se- curely. This was done, he added, with the assistance Of WoodfOW WHSoh, ' who was determined to see that all ot the peoples within the enemy territory were given the right of self-determina- tion.
 Swinging two miles across the city to the Herzel school, Mir. Davis found thousands waiting to hear his second address.
 The democratic nominee was pres ented to Alderman Jacob Avery as the man who had assisted Rabbi Wise and other prominent Jews to bring about the restoration of Palestine to the Jewish people. Mir. Davis told his audience it was not for him to accept credit where credit was not due.
 'I do not think l should take any laurels belonging to that great Eng fish statesman, Lord BalfoNr," MT. Davis said. 'The great dream to restore Palestine to you was his. only as- sisted as best could to bring about that great achievement" The nominee raised his audience to wild cheers when he pointed to the flag of Palestine and declared the hope that some day that flag will fly free and equal among the flags of the other nations of the earth"
