Adoo i'm n statement issued today, said
that he would give John w. Davis his
cordial support and take part in the
campaign.
II am satisfied that Mr.. Davis is
i'm full accord with the progressive pro-
gram outlined ia the democratic plat
form." said Mr. McAdoo- III ann conf
dent that as president Ne would faith
fully execute the party's mandate"
Referring to criticism from soa.e
quarters against MI. Davis because of
his connection with certain interests ns
n lawyer. Mr.. McAdoo said:
"Mr. Davis high character, integrity
and services should satisfy every appre
hension * this sort"
IF ala not believe this" continued
MI McAdoo, ~ could not render aid
because / have always believed that the
interests " the people should never r.
snbordinated to a merely slavish parti-
sanship. The influence ana power Uf
these progressive forces must not be
dissipated by division between various
political movements; they must rather
he consolidated and used like an irre-
sistnble battering ram Of that party
which offers the best instrumentality for
service to the people.
-Mr. Davis and have been friends
for the past twelve years and had the
pleasure OF discussing the political sit
uaticn with him yesterday. The great
body OF progressive democrats who sup
ported ne - strongly IN the convention
have teen anxious to know my attitude
toward Mr.. Davis candidacy. My visit
was for the purpose of learning from
Mr. Davis his views on the important
issues BEFORE the country l am satisfied
that Ne ~ ~ accord with the progress
sive program outlined in the democratic
platform.
Mr.. Davis PROFESSIONAL connections
and his associations with great banking
houses and corporate interests. although
considered ethical in every way, have
raised doubts w the minds of many -
10 his progressiveismla and nv To his COM
plete sympathy with the great reforms
the democratic party must execute if X
is % serve the genuine interests Of the
peoTlc. These doubts are not justified
because lawyers views on economic.
political and social questions are mo-
more 10 I've judged BY his professional
associations than j. a physicians 10 be
judged by the character of his patients.
Mr.. Davis should ~ judged hy his op-
inions. not those Of his clients, rnd by
the impression of sincerity and ability
he creates III the public discussion of the
iasucs.
MIR Davis high character, integri-
~ and service should satisfy any ap-
prehcnsicn Sof this sort. | am confident
that a. president he would faithfully
execute the party's mandate. n did not
believe this I could not render aid. be-
cause / have always ltkleved that the
interests of the people should not he
subordinated 60 mere slavish partisan
ship.
There n deep seated determine tion
on the part of the progressive forces
within the democratic party and those
outside of II desiring to cooperate, to
force promp. AMI decisive action on the
part Of the next ad " inistratiOn for 50
luton of the pressing problems "
agriculture. transportation. tariff. tax
at.un and foreign relations which have
been ~ horribly manhandIei by the
publican administration
-The influence ana power of these
progressive forces must not be- dissipat-
cd by divisions between the various
political movements: they must rather
be consolidated and used like am irre-
sistable battering ram of that party
which ofers the best instrun antality
for service 20 the people.
'Clearly there is no promise in the
republican party. Clearly there y prom
ise n the democratic party. IL this pro-
rressive influence is wisely and vgor-
ously used within that political orgnni-
zation. The hope of genuine reforms and
progress ~ more litaly " be realized at
this Tins through the democratic party
than through any OF it's opponents.
~ shall therefore give the Davis
Bryan icket my cordial support and
shall take part i'm the campaign In Sep
temt cr."
