Much has been said about this

about the political and economic
principles these candidates stand
for.
Recent political developments
make 1t more necessary than ever

LOCUST VALLEY, n. Y. August. IA.
Here in the quiet of his Long Island
home, John w. Davis began to plot
out today the strategy OF the often
siVe campaign which he will conduct
in drive to return the administra-
ton of Government to Democratic
control
Without awaiting disclosure of the
main plan of the enemy in the ad-
dress tonight of President Coolidge
in accepting the Republican nominal
ton. the Democratic presidential can
dfdate has made up his mind to w&ye
his fight all along the lire upon the
issues which he is convinced will re-
cruit a great army of Independent
voters.
Turning first to the West as a main
battle ground, he has called into con-
ference Senator Pttman of Nevada,
one of his general staff, for discus
sion of the itinerary of his westward
march. which is to take him at least
as far as Denver Colo.
Mr.. Davis efforts will not be con-
fined to seeking victory for the ma
tional ticket. Wherever possible he

divisions of the Democratic army to
the end that the struggle. if won, will

Plans Attack in Ohio.
Having fired his first broadside in
bis acceptance address at Clarksburg,
w. Va, last Monday, Mr.. Davis will
open his second attack in Ohio the
week after next and probably will
follow that up with offensives in
Illinois and the Mississippi Valley.
Ammunition for the first part of
his campaign is being assembled now,
and he will devote much of his time
In the next week or 10 days to de-
terming when and where it may be
expended with the greatest effect.
While his attention is concentrated
IN this direction; the standardbearer
VIII rely upon his generals in the field
10 perfect the national organiZat ton
with all possible dispatch. with a
view to recovering whatever ground
may have been lost in this important
division of operations.
Substantial progress already has
been made, but there is full realiza-
ton that with both the Republican
and Independent field forces func-
tioning practically at full speed, a
handicap has been imposed which
may be overcome only by forced
marching, no matter how quickly
there is formation of the full
phalanXes.
