mo S|[ENCES IN HIS
CAMP, SAYS DAVIS
Nan Curry Stirs Candidate to
New Declaration for Ameri-
can Equality.
Ry the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. October 25-Heckled
again on the ku Klux Klan question.
John W. Davis, Democratic candidate
for President, reiterated today his
declaration of intolerance for secret
organizations of any kind whatsoever
that have for their purpose the re-
striction of religious liberty"
The questioner was quick to offer
apologies for interrupting the address
Mr. Davis was making at Staten Is
land. but the candidate waved the
tender aside, adding:
There Is no necessity for any
apology. From the beginning of this
campaign until the day goes down on
its last "a hours. there is no question
that can be asked me by any man or
woman in the United States that ] am
afraid or unwilling to answer.
NO Democratic SiIences.''
There are no embarrassing sill
enceS in the Democratic camp this
year. There is nothing we want to
keep quiet about or even to keep cool
about.
The question my friend asked me
IS not ii question, | am vain enough
To believe, about which he entertalnS
any doubt or about which any man
or woman in the United States of
voting age entertainS the slightest
doubt whatever. | did not wait for
that question to be asked. ] did not
delay until this hour to make my re-
ply to it. But in the very first speech
after | received notice Of my nomina-
tiCn, stated by position on that
question in terms that no man could
misunderstand."
At this point Mr.. Davis reiterated
the statements made by him recently
in Cleveland and Chicago, reasserting
that if the time ever came when he
was afraid to raise his voice in con-
demnation of any organization that
challenged the doctrine of. racial and
religious equality, he hoped his arm
would fall palsied at his side and his
tongue would cleave to the roof of
his mouth.
Calls 1t American View.
Now, that is where I stand on the
Ku klux klan. That is where an
American ought to stand
Mr.. Davis concluded his statement
with the suggestion that if the heck
Ter was really looking for informa-
ton on the subject asked about, he
might address his question to some
candidates in this campaign adding
that you may have better luck with
il than | have"

THE OPPOSITE VIEW
Mr.. Coolidge and the Presidency.
The Nation New York;.

AS for President Coolidge, we do not
alter or abate our opinion of him one
jot or title. We are still of the opin-
ion expressed when he took office
that with him the presidency stan9s
low indeed To us he remains a myth.
We still believe him to be lacking in
ability, in the finer sense of honesty
the American people have a right to
demand of the chief executive. And
we are clear in our minds that Chas.
G. Dawes is morally unfit for the high
office to which he is elected: his cam
paign verged on blackguardism. We
are. however, not at all sure that four
years more of the Grass materialism
now enthroned in Washington, of the
soulless republican exploitation of the
people for the benefit of the rich and
privileged, of the licensing of corrup-
tionists to proceed if only they do not
get caught, and of the loosing of orr
financial imperialism upon the worltt
will not bring about an early reaction
and bitter awakening for the mas
ses. We do Motive cannot lose heart;
we can only see the need for greater
and greater efforts, for persistent.
continued and devoted patriotic SER
vice to the end that all the people
shall see where lies salvation and
where is the high road to American
ideals

scious. She was removed to her room
where it was found she had broken
her lower limb, and was possibly
suffering from internal injuries. Mrs.
Walser will recover, hospital physi-
