Democratic Nominee IS Civ
en- Warm Welcome at
Providence Rally

PROVIDENCE, R. T., Oct. ST
am firmly convinced that this is a
| Democratic year." said John w. Da-
Wis, the Democratic nominee for
president, speaking last night to a
crowd that filled Infantry hall here
and gave the candidate a noisy well
come.
1.-The reason I say this added
Mr.. Davis, is that [ have Travelled
as far as the Rocky mountains re-
Gently, and found a spirit of unrest
as .pervasive, clear and definite as
ever before in American political
history. Men are distrustful and
dissatisfied. They feel their govern
ment no longer functions in their
interest. A phenomenon so great
must be founded on facts"
Mr.. Davis was introduced by Pat
rick H. Quinn, Rhode Island ma
tional committeeman.
Referring to the Republican adj
ministration, Mr.. Davis said there
were claims that the party had been
reorganized. But they're doing the
same old business" shouted a man
in the audience.
The nominee dwelt on the Re.
publican record since 1921, the tar
iff, the veterans bureau and the
agricultural depression, which he
attributed to lack of European mar.
kets, consequent upon the Republic.
an foreign policy.
! Mr.. Davis criticized the Repub
leans for exaggerating the i'm
pCrtance Of the Washington naval
conference and accused them of haV'
! ing failed to maintain a navy up tic
the standard fixed in the treaty.
II am willing to accept naval
equality with Great Britain" he
said, 'but L am not willing to &C
cept naval inferiority to any power
The secretary of the navy has con
fessed that the navy has sunk to a
point barely above that of Japan"
"What have we done to lead the
world into paths of reconstruction
and peace in the last five years?''
asked Mr.. Davis. What contribu
ton have we made to restore the
economic life of those across the
SCI who were, in days gone by, and
must be in days to come, our largest
customers?
when I speak Of the economic
! life of Europe, I am not thinking
only of our allies. I am thinking
also of our defeated enemies. We
went into the war declaring that we
M de no war on women or children.
| that we made no war upon the Ger
man or Austrian people, but upon
their governments as they then
stood"
Mr.. Davis referred to the Demo
cratic party as one mot calling for
any adjectives to describe its mem
| bership.
He then enumerated leading Re-
publicans, saying:
eff Senator Lodge is a Repub-
lican. what is Senator Brookhart!
If President Coolidge is a Republic
an, I do not know what Senator La
Toilette may be. They both say they
are Republicans. Is it any wonder
that a plain, ordinary Democrat has
some difficulty in deciding just what
a Republican is?'
