JOHN W. DAVIS
When Democratic Convention Nominated Him, Enemies
Raised Cry of 'Wall Street Lawyer'—Friends /
Contend He Is Friend of Liberals.
SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING
CHAPTERS
John W. Davis, soil of John James
ar.J Anna Kenneriv Davis, was born
Iln Clarksburg. W. Va„ on April l-.
1873. He was graduated Irum \\asn
lugion anil L-<- University. His first
wife, formerly Miss Juna McDonald,
died in l!00. In 1910 he went to
Cwms where he was very active.
'u I*l2 he married Mrs Charles List,
nee Miss Ellen Basse!. Appointed
solicitor general in 1913. he repre
sented the Government in many anti
corporation suits. He was appointed
am: as-iador to Enyiand in 1918. In
I*2l he turned to private
became a New York corporation at
torney. In 19-4 he received the
Iteoiocratir presidential nomination.
CHAPTER XII
mOITN AY. DAVIS was sitting
ip. {.he living room cf the New
York home of his friend.
Frank I_ Polk, with whom he stayed
during the convention, peacefully
smoking a Ling. black cigar.
His wife rushed into the room.
“John.” she cried, “you’ve won!
You've got the nomination!”
Tlnit was the way Davis received
news he had been chosen as Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency.
At the same time this incident was
taking place his political enemies in
all parts of the country joined in
an anvil chorus.
"Wall Street lawyer!” they
chanted. "Wall Street lawyer' Wa’l
Street lawyer!”
Without questioning Davis' per
sona! integrity, they pointed out a
loan who had once been connected
with a.i orgy i.ization would be barred
from serving on a jury trying that
organization for any breach of law.
Why then, they asked, should
Davis be placed in a position where
he would constantly be called u*.on
to pass upon the merits of laws and
measures vitally affecting his former
clients?
Claim Prejudice
Xo matter how fair-minded he
might try to be. they said,' he could
not help being prejudiced.
Even before his nomination. Davis
gave his views on the subject. When
one of his supporters urged him to
give up his New York law practice
in order to become more acceptable
as a presidential candidate, Davis
said:

- HIS LIFE STORY
the lawyer, just as it is duty of
the priest or surgeon, to serve those
who call on him. unless there is some
insuperable obstacle in the way.
“No one in my list of clients has
ever controlled or fancied that he
could control my personal or po
litical cnscienee. I am vain enough
to fancy no one ever will. ,
“1 am proud of my clients. Amer
iea needs big business when it is
honestly conducted.”
Following his nomination. Davis
resigned as a member of his law
firm —the firm of Stetson, Jennings,
Russel & Davis—but the reason he
gave for this action was unique.
He pointed out, that as a presi
dential candidate, he wouldn’t be
able to do his share of the work.
That being the case, while he was
not particularly anxious to get away
from the firm, the firm members un
doubtedly would be anxious to get
away from him!
Despite his corporation connec
tions, Davis' friends contend he is
a liberal. To prove it they point to
his own words —the words in which
he sums up his ideas and ideals of
the Democratic party:
“It is the glory of the party to be
known as the party of liberalism,
speaking for and in the liberal
thought of the country.
“As such it is not ashamed to
learn from the lessons of the past,
rot afraid, because they are new
to face the problems of the future.
His Views
As to present political issues—
Davis is a strong believer in the
League of Nations, but he does not
believe in cramming it down the
public's throat. He has declared that
he would make no effort to “put
over” the league without a popular
referendum.
In the event America does not
want to become a member of the
league, he believes the next best
move would lie to join the. world
court.
He has never expressed pro
nounced views on the subject of
prohibition. His friends declare his
attitude is that prohibition is now
on trial; that so far it is impossible
to tell whether it will work out to
the benefit or to the detriment of
the country; that when the time
comes when it is possible to say, one
way or another, then it should be
put up to the people to declare
whether they want it or not.
He believes the tariff should be
revised; that taxation should be re
duced. the reduction to be made
possible by cutting down Govern
ment expenses, and the trans
portation charges should be reduced.
He is oppi sej to the soldier bonus,
declaring it to be “wrong in theory
and destructive in practice.”
He would give the President power
!to veto separate clauses of the
i various I -ills that .ire presented to
j him. In this way, Davis claims, the
' so-called “riders” could be kept off
the statute books.
He favors res'riction of immigra
tion and holds that incoming aliens
.should be *-nt to the centers where
they are most needed by agriculture
and industry.
He contends the newly elected
President, Vice President and Con
gress should t ike office immediately
after the el *etion in November, in
stead of on the following March 4.
lit hoids that individual personal
liberty is being beaten down and the
right of man to govern himself de

ment upon the Constitution of a code

morals of Americans.
lie Is against any proposal which
would weaken the authority of the

'Church I. s' Sick ’ Declares
Lindemann at Tabernacle
"The modern man with all of his
modern polish and modern play
things is still a damned sinner in
need of a Savior," the Rev. Paul
Lindemann of St. Paul, Minn., de
clared Sunday at a Lutheran refor
mation service held at the Cadle Ta
bernacle under the auspices of the
Missouri Synod.
Those in charge of the service
claim that this meeting was the
largest Lutheran gathering ever ad
dressed by a speaker in this city.
“The church today,” ‘the Rev.
Lindemann said, “has no other call
but to *plant itself firmly on the
Scriptures and proclaim a message
which is as narrow as the Bible and
as broad as the Bible.
“It must have no other standard
to direct its work than the Scrip
tural words. ‘Thus saith the Lord.’
You will believe me when I assert
that no other motive inspired this
demonstration (their meeting) but
love for our fellowmen and the com
mand of Christ to preach the gospel
unto all creatures.
“It s rather a reconsecration to
principle, a public declaration and
open confession that we still adhere
to the Scriptural fundamentals, a
glorification of the sublime and eter
nal virtues of God's word. It is not
a sensational stunt. And yet there
is nothing more sensational than the
news of man's salvation in Christ
Jesus.
Face Seoffings
“We are willing to face the scot
tings of the religious modernist
when we publicly assert our belief
in the Bible as the inspired word of
God and in Jesus Christ as the Son
of Ged, sent into the flesh to stone
for the sins of men, in the victory
of His resurrection, in the fact that
there ,-s no other name given among
men whereby we may be saved.
“We want the world to know and
those in the confusion of our times
still love Christ,' to be heartened by
it, that there is a church body which
not only imparts, but as a whole
stands for the old gospel principles
and proclaims them without fear or
favor of men.
“There is in this statement no
element of boasting, but it is made
that Christ may he exalted and His
holy natpe be honored. To proclaim
Christ as the way to salvation is
the biggest thing in the world an 1
the world needs it.
The Heart Is Missing
“The heart has been taken out of
the gospel. Preachers are present
OHT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS
ing tlvngs that tickle the palate r>£
ihe flesh and are bv their flatteries
and moralizings training up a gen
eration of self satisfied Pharisees.
It is true of a portion of the Church
that it has definitely abolished tlie
elemental idea of sin and grace.
“The deity of Christ is not only
questioned but actually denied. The
theory of evolution and other im
proved ideas and theories of a mis
guided science have replaced the
statements of the Holy word.
"Asa result of its failure to carry
mt its original commission, the
Lurch has erred into paths
if activity that were never
Intended for it. Having abolished its
eal object as a soul saving agency,
.1 has made itself a watchdog over
mil a regulator of public morals and
has even presumed to become a dic
tator of legislation.
"It has made itself an agency of
social service for the bodily uplift
uent of men and the general im
provement of living conditions. The
pulpit has degenerated into a lec
ture forum.
“The cross is gone, the spirit of i
God has depaq|pd. and as a natural
result the church has lost its in- j
fluence. Yes, the church is sick. I
Its proponents are seeking remedies !
or its illness. They are planning'
big reforms. Great schemes are
launched. Amalgamations and
unions of forces are attempted.
“Big campaigns are outlined with
all the efficient machinery of big
business. But the heart has been
cut out ami most of these efforts
have proven dismal failures,” the
Rev. Mr. Lindemann said.
