ABOARD THE ST. LOUIS EX-
PRESS, Enroute to Clarksburg, w.
Va, Aug. 9:-John w. Davis came
back to his home state today to re-
ceive a welcome from his friends
and neighbors and to be formally
notified of his nomination as the
Democratic presidential candidate.
Crossing into West Virginia in the
early morning on his trip from New
York, Mr.. Davis was determined
that until the notification ceremonies
Monday night he would forget poll
tics and spend his time enjoying
himself among the people who know
him best. sa|
While his own town of Clarksburg
had prepared the official welcome,
his first reception had been arranged
by the people of Grafton, a fifteen
minute stop for his train an hour
and a quarter before it was due In
the little city in the hills where he
was born.
After the ceremonies at Clarks-
burg, Mr.. Davis planned to rest until
late afternoon, when he will go to
Fairmont, thirty miles distant, to
attend second homecoming.
Fairmont was a bulwark of strength
in the early days of his political ca
reer and it has furnished him with
the field marshal of his great poll
tical adventure, Glenn L. Shaver.
There the nominee will make his
second address of the day, and ike
that at Clarksburg it will be an ap-
probation of the welcome extended
to him.
After the delivery of his keynote
speech Monday night Mr.. Davis Will
return to New York to prepare the
second address of his campaign,
which Is to be delivered at the ONO
state Democratic convention at COL
umbus on August rs.
From that time until election day
it Is the plan to have the nominee
carry on vigorously under a pro-
gram which will take him into many
states, east, west, north and south.
