JOHN W. DAVIS
FORMALLY ACCEPTS
DEMJIOMINATION
CLARKSBURG, W. Va—The su
preme need of the hour is to bring
back to the people confidence in
their government, John W. Davis de
clared Monday night in his address
accepting the Democratic presidential
nomination.
Formally putting under way the
national campaign of 1924, he indict
ed the Republican party “in its or
ganized capacity for having shaken
public confidence to its very founda
tions,” and laid against it these
specific charges:
“Having exhibited deeper and
more widespread corruption than any
that this generation of Americans
has been called upon to witness.
“Complacency in the face of that
corruption and with ill will towards
the efforts of honest men to expose
it.
“Gross favoritism to the privi
leged and utter disregard of the
unprivileged.
“Indifference to world peace and
timidity in the conduct of foreign ]
affairs.
“Disorganization, division and in
coherence.”
Declaring that on the record he
would ask the voters of the country
to pass judgment of condemnation “as
a warning to all men who aspire to
public office, that dishonesty, either
in thought, word or deed, will not
be tolerated in America.’’ Mr. Davis
said the Democratic party was pre
pared to offer in exchange a ‘‘program
based on Democratic principles and
guaranteed by a record of Democrat
ic performance.”
The chief things to which he
pledged himself were:
An honest, impartial, and, so far
as human wisdom will permit, a just
government.
Opposition to any challenge—
“organized or unorganized, under
whatever name or in whatever char
acter it may appear”—of the consti
tutional guarantees of religious free
dom.
Enforcement of all laws, including
the Prohibition Amendment and
statutes enacted under it.
Agricultural aid through revis
ion of the tariff; government assist
ance in extending the co-operative
marketing principle and by other
means.
Reduction in taxation and revision
of tariff.
Economy in government, but not
of the kind that deprives government
employes of pay equal to that they
would receive from private employ
ers for similar work.
Approval of the World Court.
Co-operation officially with all
legitimate endeavors, whether from
the League of Nations, or from any
other source, to lessen the prospect
of war; to aid in repairing the
ravages of past wars; to promote
disarmament and to advance the well
being of mankind.
To maintain the means of adequate
national defense “until reason is per
mitted to take the place of force.”
In opposition to the impairment,
“either by injunction or by any oth
er device’’ of the rights of labor to
organize and to bargain collectively
for “an adequate wage earned under
healthful conditions.”
The protection of women and chil
dren from human greed and unequal
laws.
Prevention of child labor and sup
pression of the illicit traffic in soul
destroying drugs.
Conservation of all of the natural
resources of the country.
“Grateful care” to the “veterans
of our wars, especially to those who
were stricken and founded in the
country’s service and whose confi
dence has been so cruelly and cor
ruptly abused.”
Finally, Mr. Daxis said he entered
the campaign free from pledge or
promise to any man and would “bold

ELECTRIC CHAIR
INSTEAD OF NOOSE
BECOMES GA. LAW
The passing of the gallows and
the hangman’s noose in Georgia was
made certain by the action of the
senate in voting, 26 to 21, to substi
tute the electric chair as means or
legal execution.
The bill had already passed the
house.
The bill passed the senate only af
ter a stormy fight. Requiring 26
votes for passage, the measure re
ceived that number only after Presi
dent Carswell, announcing that the
recorded vote was 25 to 21, cast his
vote in its favor.
The bill provides that the chair
will be installed at the state farm
at Milledgeville; that condemned
prisoners will be taken there 10
days before the date of execution,
and after all legal measures for stay
of execution have been exhausted.
The bill provides that the change
of method of execution shall not
apply to prisoners now under in
dictment.
JOB HOLDERS GET HALF
OF TAX MONEY COLLECTED
Figures from authoritative sources
assert that nearly $4,000,000 is paid
out in the United States every year
to public officials, active and retired.
These figures are not surprising
when we know that nearly $3,500,000
persons are on the public payroll,
federal, state and local.
Nearly one-half of the $8,500,000,-
000 spent yearly by our government
goes to officials and former officials.
Every taxpayer should understand
that almost one-half of his taxes go
to support office holders.
it so to the end.” Also he declared
that it became necessary to
raise funds for the conduct of the
campaign they would be contributed
“with this imaerstanding and this on
ly: that neither he Democratic
party nor 1 as its leader have any
favors for sale.”
Expressing in general terms his
approval of the pjoposals contained
in the platform adopted by the con
vention which nominated him, the
candidate said he could not be ex
pected at this moment to discuss
them in detail or to outline the
methods by which they arc to be
carried into effect.
“There will be time enough for
that,” he said.
