COMPARING DAVIS
WITH PRESIDENTS
Democratic Nominee Has Many
characteristics in Common
With Other Presidents

WASHINGTON, July 19.-lf
John w. Davis is elected president
he will be the twenty-first lawyer
to occupy the White Mouse. Only
10 nrasidents so far have not been
members Of the bar.
The average age at which men
have been elected president was 90,
Davis is only 81. Roosevelt was 10
when he succeeded Mckinley, and
was the Youngest president. VII
liam Harrison was CT. Davis is SIX
Years Younger than his running
mate, Charles w. Bryan.
Twenty of the twenty-nine pres
idents were college men, and as Mr..
Davis as graduate of Washington
and Lee University he would add
another to the list of the sheepskln
holders.
The father of Mr.. Davis was q
| lawyer, as were the fathers of four
other presidents john Quincy
Adams, William Henry Harrison,
John Tyler, and William H. Taft.
The best chance to become pres
ident, however, is to be a farmers
son. A bakers dozen Of presidents
were sons of farmers, and farm
er boys have beat all others in the
race to the White House
Next to the farm the best step
ping stone to the presidency ap
pears to have been the governor
ship Of state. Coolidge, Wilson
Mckinley, Cleveland, Hayes arc
Johnson were state governors.
| All of the presidents except CIV;
Van Buren, and Roosevelt-wer,
of British extraction. Jefferson
however, was the only Welshman
and Davis ancestry can also b.
traced to Wales.
Davis has plenty Of presidential
precedents in being clean-shaven. Ii
recent years no president has worl

Harrison was the last occupant @
the White House to wear beard
The first was Lincoln, and his ex
