PRAISE DEMOCRATS
FOR NAMING DAVIS

LONDON. July 10.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press. 1.-The nomination of
John w. Davis by the Democratic
national convention, is commented
upon with great satisfaction here,
largely due to the nominees popu-
larity when he served his country
as ambassador to England At that
time he was credited with having
shown much sympathy and friendli-
ness for this country. He made
many personal friends.
The Times this morning says the
Democratic choice is of greater in
terest to Englishmen than all the
vast, confused American issues,
from which so satisfactory a result
emerged"
Continuing, the Times declares
Englishmen know Davis at first
hand as few American candidates
ever have been known in Englad
before. 1t is of natural interest to
them that man who lived among
them. as one of the most sympathet-
ic and competent in the long list of
distinguished American ambassa.
doris, should be chosen so soon afte"
his return to America as a popular
leader in his own country"
The Daily News says: "Out of the
pandemonium of the convention has
emerged unexpectedly the spirit of
wisdom. Every liberal-minded poll
tician in this country will welcome
the choice. Mr.. Davis is probably
the best candidate the convention
could have voted for on the first
instead of the one hundred and
third ballot, He is thoroughly
equipped by character and intellec-
tual qualities for the highest Of
flee"
The Daily Chronicle declares:
Taken all around he is probably
the strongest candidate the party
could put in the field Now that
the Republican prospects are so
much impaired by oil scandals, and
the appearance of La Toilette as the
progressive candidate, Mr.. Davis
chances of election are very consid-
cradle"
The Westminster Gazette describes
the nomination as a safety choice.
which will have a good effect on Eu-
rope. for his ambassadorship gave
him u knowledgeable and friendly
background of the European scene,
and disclosed to him the need for
an international lead from an Amer
lean statesman"
The Daily Telegraph recalls ap-
preciatively the speech of the Prince
OF Wales at the farewell dinner to
Mr.. Davis inAwhich the prince said:
He has been more than an am
! bassador; he has been true friend"

PROGRESSIVE FLAG
UNFURLED BY DAVIS
BEFORE CONvENT|O

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
New York, July 10.--John w. DAYS
acknowledged his nomination for the
presidency by the Democratic con-
vention by appearing before the con-
venton by invitation last night and
giving a pledge of his devotion to
the cause of the party.
The nominee began by an express
sion of gratitude and appreciation of
the honor that had come to him.
But grateful as am of this great
honor I think even more of the
duties you have given me to per-
form. But I take comfort when /
look at the banners displayed
throughout this hall and reflect that
they are not the standards of a
phantom army but that they repre-
sent an army of millions of Demo
Gratis ready as they always have
been to battle for liberty and right
eousness
1--WE are a national party, and 1t
must be, I believe, because we pro-
TESS a national creed. The great
principles of the Democratic party
honesty in government, that public
office is public trust, equal rights
to all men and special privilege to
none, fair and equal taxation, an
open door of opportunity to the hum
blest citizen in all the land, liberty
at home and courage and honor and
helpfulness abroad; these principles
are as dear to the east as to the
west, and revered by the north and
by the south.
"And this great army is ready to
battle again to any who challenge
any part of it. On this platform all
progressiVes can stand, to this ban
ner all liberals can rally, and for
this cause all Democrats can, and !
know will, stand united.
II know this convention has had
it's differences, but all these things
were but the thunderstorm that
cleared the clouds away and left
shining on us the sun OF coming
victory and success.
when I am duly advised Of the
nomination it will be my duty to
speak further on these and kindred
themes. I shall therefore do no
more at the moment than to express
my appreciation and to express my
confidence that 1 shall lead in this
campaign united, a militant, and
D victorious party"

try generally" said Senator Harris.
IT knew Mr.. Davis intimately while
he was in the service Of the depart
ment of justice, in which position |
often heard it said that every man in
the department, from The elevator

that Mr.. Davis should De president.
I saw him in London as oEr repre-

and | learned from the British peo-
pie the admiration and high regard
in which he was held.
Bryan Strong With Masses
John w. Davis, like most men
in our public life, was raised in a
country town. He educated himself
largely by his own efforts, made his
own way in the world, and now has
been paid this signal compliment by
his party. He is a modest and I'M
assuming man and has an attrac-
tive personality, both in private'life
and as an orator.
mo man was loser t. the late
Woodrow Wilson and no man stood
by him more Loyalty iu4.n:s the eight
years Of his administration. He will
win the people wherever he goes and
no doubt will make an active speak
ing tour through all the doubtful
states.
Governor Bryan has made a
wonderful record as chief executive
Of Nebraska and his being on the
ticket will give us that state and
several other western states. When
the coal barons put up the price of
coal SO high as to rob the people,
Governor Bryan took charge and
saved millions in coal bills. He did
many other things along this line
which have made him strong with
the masses.
THAT Davis and Bryan compose
far and away the strongest ticket in
the field is fact that very few Re-
publicans or Democrats will deny"
Walker Praises Him
Governor Clifford Walker is per-
sonally acquainted with Mr.. Davis
and considers him exceptionally fit
ted to be the Democratic standard
bearer. Mr.. Davis was solicitor gen
eral when the Georgia chief execu-
tive was admitted to practice before
the United States supreme court.
''He is the brainiest and most bril-
liant man who has been mentioned
for the post to which he was nomf.
mated. Viscount Bryce, of England,
stated at banquet that he was the

sador to England, who will carry
the Democratic standard in the
forthcoming presidential campaign.
is we'll known to many Atlantians

the federal reserve bank. The case
was then carried to the Bnlted
States supreme court by the smaller
banks, and again the reserve bank
won the decision.
A MagnlflccnG lawyer
"John w. Davis is a magnificent
lawyer, clear thinker, a fine speak
err and q charming gentleman" de-
clared Robert S. Parker, of the firm
of Randolph & Parker. HE has a
fine legal mind aT1G is well grounded
in the law. His arguments are lucid,
concise and clear, and he is unusu-
ally quick in debate and repartee.
He is regarded as one of the great
est lawyers in the United States at
the present time"
Hollins n Randolph, who Is now
in New York as chairman of Geor-
gias delegation to the convention
that nominated Mr.. Davis, is boy
hood friend of the West Virginian
and knew him intimately in college
days.
Harris Is for Him
United States Senator w. j. Har-
ris, in Atlanta Thursday, expressed
the opinion that the Democratic par
ty has nominated an able and accept
able candidate in Mr.. Davis and de-
clared that mo man was closer 10
the late Woodrow Wilson and no man
stood by him more loyalty during the
eight years of his administration. He
will win the people wherever he goes
and no doubt will make an active
speaking tour through all Or the
doubtful states"
The senior senator from Georgia
