MADISON, Wis, July 11.-Except
for expressions by the men directing
the La Toilette presidential cam
paign, little, so far, has been heard
of the impression created by the nom
ination of John w. Davis and C. w.
Bryan. The La Toilette leaders evil
IDENTIFY intend to emphasize the rela-
tions between Mr.. Davis law firm and
the Morgan banking interests, and to
base the campaign on the idea that
the nominations of both old parties
were controlled by large business in

ground up. Neither of the candidates
cratic state leaders. The state is di-
vided nearly equally between sup
porters of Gov. AL Smith and w. G..
McAdoo. Most of the leading Demo-
Gratis are on their way home from
New York.
From Chicago comes the statement
of John M. Nelson. manager of Mr..
La Follette's campaign, that the
choice of Mr.. Davis means the cleo
ton of Senator La Toilette to the
pre- esidency.
Governor Backs La Toilette.
Gov. John ]. Blaine, who is cam
paigning in the north, declared the
Davis nomination was the worst that
could have been made. He speaks as
a La Toilette adherent.
Fred Holmes, editor Of La Toilette S
magazine, iudexed the opinion in his
camp when he said the nomination of
Davis had frightened Senator La Fol-
lette's prospects.
Wall street interests have the can
didates of the major parties Mr..
Holmes said The west has no other
hope than in La Toilette. The fight
is now between those who would
plunder the people and the people
That the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
will dull the edge of the La Toilette
attack IS unlikely. Senator La Fol-
lette has never tolerated any school
Of radicalism other than his own in
his state. Three times Wisconsin
majorities, Mr.. La Toilette supporting
the Republican nominee each time.
Mr.. La Toilette condemned the Roose-
welt insurgency of 1912 in harsh
terms, and Roosevelt received only
enough popular votes to give the
electoral vote to Mr.. Wilson.
In the opinion of NJ. C. Riley, Nc
Adoo lieutenant, Mr.. Davis will prove
a candidate upon whom Democratic
factions may unite. In Mr.. Riley's
unusual opportunity by the three
cornered battle.
The choice of Mr.. Davis will serve
to appease the dry element in the
Democratic party, which fought Gov.
Smith vigorously in the primary. 1t
quired to keep the Democratic labor
element strongly for McAdoo, out of
the La Toilette camp.

MISSISSIPPI
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
JACKSON Miss, July 11-Mfssis-
slppians in general are expressing
approval at the nomination of Davis
and Bryan for President and Vice
President. Sentiment in Mississippi
was strong for Davis before the un-
instructed delegation went to New
York. Davis was looked upon as the
most logical man, and the delegation
voted for him early in the convention.
Selection of Gov. Bryan is viewed by
the Democrats here as political ex-
pediency to bid for the western vote
and to silence William Jennings
Bryan against the Wall street con-
nection.
The labor vote, far in the minority
here, will be split between La Toilette
and Davis The Republican vote this
year is expected to fall short of that
four years ago, even with woman
suffrage. Naming of a negro as ma
tional committeeman and a negress
as national committeewoman haS-re-
tarded the Republican growth in a
rock-ribbed Democratic state.

IOWA

Special Dispatch to The Star
DES MONIES, Iowa, July 11.-Onlv
once since the Republican party was
organized has Iowa been ANYTHING hut
Republican in national election.
That was when Roosevelt ran with
the Progressives and Iowa went for
woodrow Wilson, but there are
plenty of Indications of discomfort
this year. and split vote is expected,
although how badly split is some
thing hard to forecast.
Party leaders, both Republican and
Democratic, declare that John w.
Davis and Charles w Bryan were
good choices. They point out that
Davis will make a good run against
Coolidge in the east and south, and
with La Toilette in the field on a
third party Democrats are claiming
split in the west which will cut
down Coolidge's vote in many states
and cause him to lose in their favor
in others.
Voters Are DisgruntIed.
The Meredith and Herring faction
here, who backed McAdoo, say they re-
gret his defeat, but are swinging
right in with Davis and Bryan.
However. the rank and file of voters
have different opinion, if listening
to the comment of the hundreds who
watch the bulletins of a local news
paper can be used as a basis to form
a conclusion.
The remark is frequently heard:
1T was either McAdoo or La Toilette
for me, and now that McAdoo is out
of it I'm going to vote for La Fol-
lette."
One of these bulletin readers say
ing that he is for Coolidge or Davis
is a rare thing. OF course, that is
street talk, and it is long time be-
fore election. Also it must be remem-
win in Iowa. However, it is safe to
predict a badly split vote in Iowa
next November. HARRY H. PAGE.

KENTUCKY

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 10.-Louis-
Vile and Kentucky Democrats hail
the nomination of John w. Davis as
"the best possible choice" the Demo
cratic national convention could
have made.
Interviews with leading citizens
are productive of such expressions as
strong man." happy selection"

bankers, ministers of the gospel,
business men and educators of both
parties numbering about 200 inter-
viewed by the local press are enthu-
siastic in their praise.

headed 1.-The Measure of a President
said: "It seems almost too good to
be true after two weeks of storm and
strife" AS to the platform, the
Courier-Journal says: THAT was

platform will be John w. Davis"
There is also praise for Bryan,
especially among veteran Democrats
who followed his brother, the COM
moner, but the vice presidential NOM
inee appears not as we'll known
among the body of voters. Davis is
personally we'll known in Louisville,
as his first wife, Julia Mcdonald, was
a Louisville girl and has Louisville

Smith of New York, because of his

bitter fight between Smith and Nc
Adoo, that had dragged religion into

that Davis also is said to favor a

SEATTLE, Wash, July 11-Wash-
ington State Democrats who have
been watching the deadlock at New
York from long distance voiced their
disappointment today over the ma

among the rank and file of the party
is that the Democratic ticket will
run third here this year, being head

the big vote the party leaders have
peen making strong bid for.
Expect Decreased Vote.
The general consensus of opinion
among the rank and file of ali par
ties is that Davis and Bryan will not
poll as many votes in this state this
year as Cox and Roosevelt did four
years ago. AS a result of the situation
1t is doubtful at this time If the
Democrats will be able to complete
their congressional state and legis-
lative tickets
The advent of Davis as the Demo-
cratic leader and La Toilette as an
independent near radical candidate
is taken by the old line Republicans
and Democrats as meaning the purg-
ing of the two older parties in this
state of the type of politician who
seeks nomination under the primary
laws in the two older parties, not be-
cause of sympathy with the princi-
pies or doctrines, but in the hopes of
getting public office. The fight now
rests between Coolidge and La Fol-
lette with a large mass of Democratic
voters preparing to vote for the Re-
publican nominee rather than face a
division in the electoral college which
might mean the election of La Fol-
lette. JAMES DE X. BROWN.

Begging your pardon, believe
you are mistaken.
A so-called friendship that gossip
can disrupt is not a friendship at all
Friendship is built on a founda
ton too firm TO be blown over by d
breath, or even a strong wind, Of
scandal A friend does not trust
blindly, because blind trust is unin-
telligent. But he does refuse to be-
tray his friend by listening TO any
gossip which may come his way.
And if his friendship is as stanch
as friendship should be, he does not
let misfortune affect it.
