For World Court.
Playing the Republicans for a
"three'mile foreign policy, Davis
proposed American adherence to the
world court, Endorsed the League
of Nations, but postponed a decision
on entry until the American people
signified their readiness. He said
such an expression would not be
long in arriving.
For the farmers and the labor.
ing classes, he proposed specific
programs of legislation and Federal
administration To the average
American, he offered pledges of
strictest government economy and
a slashing of taxes, with honest
enforcement of all laws. But the
dominating issue was his attack on
Republican dishonesty.
The nominee rested this morning
from his task, but planned to leave
Clarksburg late this afternoon for
New York. In the meantime, he
gathered his lieutenants in council
