 NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-The nomina- tiOn of John W. Davis was a great surprise in many quarters. There are a great many people who are yet ask ing questions as to why and how. From the point of view of astrology, the incident can be explained In one word-destiny.
 It is interesting to note that only a few minutes before the deadlock gave away and Mir. Davis was suddenly swept in as the nominee, Mercury and Uranus formed benefit aspect. Both these planta have played an i'm portant part in Ar. Davis horoscope in the past.
 Nomination Predicted.
 In support of this, the most inter esting fact is that his domination was predicted and the press is the public record that on June 27, before the hopeless deadlock developed the writer stated in clear and unmistakable lam guage that John W. Davis was the ''man of the hour 90 far as the Dem Oeratic party is concerned" and this conclusion was arrived at by a study of his horoscope and comparison with the birth charts of other candidates un- der consideration.
 The horoscope winch is reproduced, calculated for April 13. 1873, Il :45 p. m., Glarksburg, w. Va, Qatitude 39 :15, longitude SO.3O west), the birth data for Mir. Davis, shows Sagittarius Ms the ascendant (eastern angle), with Capricorn as the intercepted sign. One quick glance at the chart by a student of astrology would convince him that Mir. Davis is a born diplomat, and there is q largeness and qaulity about his entire makeup, corresponding to Jupiter, the ruling planet of his chart. This is supported by very fortunate and exceedingly favorable aspects of the sun and Venus, the sun and Nep- tune and the sun and Jupiter at the time of his birth.
 4 1924 Signs Beneficial.
 His long record of public service coincides with the horoscope for ! have compared the dates of his ap- pointments since 1904 down to this lat est honor conferred upon the man, and l find them to be as could have been previously predicted by careful study of his progressed horoscope for each year in question.
 His progressed horoscope for 1924 shows the sun in a benefic aspect with Uranus i; the sun also in a semi-benefic aspect to Jupiter, with the moon to benefie aspects to both Jupiter and Mars, all of which was indicative of a very sudden elevation, honor and popularity, and it was these very as- poets which caused me to make the prediction that John W. Davis was the ''man of the hour, so far as the Dem ocratic party is concerned"
 It is interesting to note that accord ing to the method of progressing a. horOscope which l use, his ascendant of birth has progressed to the tenth section of the chart, and, this is in a benefic aspect to both the sun and moon and Uranus in both his birth chart and progressed chart for 1924 and also in a favorable aspect to the progressed Jupiter.
 With such strong astrological tes- tim0ny as Mir. Davis chart presents it clearly shows him to be a man of destiny, and 1 may conclude just here by stating that his chances for lead- ing his party to, victory are very fa- vorable. showing slightly little more than an even break. However, there will be considerable opposition, but it appears to me that his strongest Op- pOnent is from the new third party.
 Should Mir. Davis be elected, the United States would prosper under his and we would have good times, with plenty of work and friend ly relations with other nations.
