NEW YORK, July 9.-"Thefe can be no compromise with reaction. Lib eral principles must and will prevail This is the mandate of the hour and shall obey it."
 Thus John W. Davis, in that excited triumphant hour after he had been cho- sen Democratic candidate for the pres idency, put to paper the principles on which he will fight the battle of his party.
 Davis had no prepafeG speech wait ing the moment of his victory. He was sitting in the cool library of a private house off Fifth avenue, smoking a cigar and chatting with two Kansas delegates, when word of the nomination was brought to him.
 Street Becomes BetiIam
 In ten minutes the street before his door was a bedlam. Taxis and limou- sines rolled up with congratulatory delegates and friends. Thirty newspa- permen, movie men and photographers clustered about the door. Telegraph boys were rushing up with the first of 400 telegrams received during the after noon and evening.
 Davis shut himself in an upper room There, using the hard, incisive words of a trained legal mind, he wrote his first public statement as the nominee of his party.
 The statement, ringing with chal- lenge, outlined an aggressive policy. A paragraph dismissed and explained the long battle of the delegates as "but proof of their sense of the solemn re- sponsibility to the country under which they acted.". A sentence called for militant" support of the democratic policy. There was call for the rally. ing of Liberal, independent and pro- gressive thought" to the democratic standard.
 In the same note of challenge the statement ended,
 There can be no compromise with reaction"
 Davis, in those excited triumphant moments, had cut much. ground from beneath the feet of his opponents.
 The West Virginian has lived in the house on 6Sth street for the past five days. It is the home of his law part ner, Frank L. Polk. Next door is a gay Italian garden, and beyond it the brownstone mansion of Thomas Fortune Ryan, on Fifth avenue. Across the way is the brownstone home of Payne Whitney. At the end of the quiet street green trees of Gent. al Park make a splash of color.

BISHOP DEGREES
 ENGLISH DRY LAW

LONDON, July s.-The bill intro duced in the House of Lords by the Bishop of Oxford to restrict the trade in alcoholic beverages by what was termed popular control to be exercised of the different boroughs, today was debate.
 The government supported the bill on the understanding that it would be considered at ance, but it's fate was sealed by 8 remarkably vigorous speech by the Bishop of Durham, who de- nounced the bill because he said it enshrined the principle of prohibition which was thoroughly unsound and could not be limited in application as American had shown.

 Almost everyone has had as a child the thrill of learning and speaking some variety of "hog latin," that is, the secret dialects creating by adding syllables to the familiar words of every day speech.
