HONESTY, JUSTICE
AND COURAGE is
DAVIS'S PROMISE
Candidate Tells Ohio Demo
Gratis what United States
Ought to Stand For.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. z7.-Common
honesty, justice and courage in gov
ernment are the things which the
Democratic party has to offer the
country, John w. Davis declared in
his speech to the Democratic State
Convention last night. 81 want the
Government of the United States, .
he said, mot to tiptoe behind closed
doors for fear that the Senate may
overhear: | want il not to send
abroad unofficial observers to peer at
everything through an international
keyhole, | want 1t not to absent
itself from the great councils of the
nations where the destinies of peo-
pies are decided; | want the United
States as a nation to stand as an
appeal among the nations of the
world and to do its full share to-
ward bringing TO mankind a full and
lasting power"
Mr.. Davis first ridiculed President
Coolidge's speech of acceptance. He
declared the Dawes Plan is the
great achievement of this Admins
traion and emphasized the benefits
from the four-power treaty. He said
second arms conference at this
time would be of doubtful value.
The Ohio Democracy gave Mr.
Davis an enthusiastic reception, and
his speech added to the enthusiasm.
