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 $1.50 A YEAR 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.
