EASTWOOD FARM, BUNCE
TON, Mo.—John W. Davis, dem
ocratic candidate for president,
spent Tuesday resting at the farm
home of Dr. Arthur W. Nelson,
democratic nominee for governor
of Missouri, and working on the
address he will deliver at Des
Moines Wednesday night. Monday
Mr. Davig opened the campaign in
Missouri with the address here in
which he assailed the republican
party “special privilege” and the
Fordney-McCumber tariff act and
promised that if elected, he would
furnish a government honest
through and through from top to
bottom.”
Tariff and taxation, it is under
stood, will form the subject of the
Des Moines address. The Davis
party will leave for Des Monies at

HAST WOOD FARM, BUNCE
TON, Mo.—John W. Davis oarried
his fight for the president into the
heart of a&ricul'tural Missoni Mon
day attending a giant barbecue at
the home here of Dr. Arthur A.
Nelson, democratic candidate for
governor of Mossourl, and firing the
opening gun of the campaign in
this state.
Davis told his thousands of hear
ers grouped in a natural am
phitheatre in front of the Nelson
home, that this wa a “fighting
campaign” and rye Still make war.”
The democratic candidate had
for an audience the greatest crowd
ever gathered in rural Missouri
and remarked that probably the
largest assembly that ever met ir,
the open to discuss governmental
affairs.
Johusa A. Barbee, democrat
state chairman, who was in charge
of the celebration, estimated that
between 40,000 and 50,000 people
were present. The vast crowd
spread out over the expansive pas
tures surrounding the speakers to
hear Mr. Davis and Dr. Nelson
launch their Missouri campaigns.
The voices of the speakers were
carried distinctly to the edges of
the assemblage through loud
speakers.
DENOUNCES FALL,
DAUGHERTY, ETC.
Mr. Davis assailed “special prlvi.
leges” and "corruption in office,”
denouncing Albert B. Fall, and
Harry M. Daugherty, Charles For
bes, Edwin Denby and others
formerly connected with the re
publican administration.
“And now they tell us the old
firm has been reorganized,” said
Mr. Davis.
He asserted, however, that the
republican party was under the
same management, had the same
board of directors and had merely
had a ‘new general manager" for
the last year.
He said he had read in some
newspapers that it had not been
expected that a gentleman, such
as the democratic nominee, would
mention such things as the oil and
veterans bureau revelations ‘in
polite society.”
“i believe" he added, “that my
party did not choose me as its
candidate to give lessons in politi
cal etiquette.
“If the situation had been re
versed,” he said, ‘and It could not
be, I don’t believe anyone would
say that the democratic party
should not be held to account.”
The audience included thousands
■of farmers and the democratic
standard bearer smilingly admitted
at the outset of his address that he
was “not a farmer, not a dirt
farmer, no even a pictorial farm
er."
Mr. Davis said the farmer did not
ask for special provisions, but that
they might stand equal before the
law, commanding the respect and
attention in congress and the White
House, that had “to long been
granted to other industrys.”
“The republican party has never
recognized farming as an indsutry.”
he declared amid app'ause. ‘lt
wrings one's heart to the heart of
strong and sturdy men whose years
of life and labor have gone for
naught. And It stirs one's impulse
to search out relief for such con
ditions and to apply such rem
edies—if remedies there be—as the
power of the government may de
vise.
SAYS FARMER HAS
WORKED TOO HARD
"There have been Just three
things put forward by the candi
dates of the republican party: first,
that the farmer shall help himself.
‘Physician, heal thy self’ is their
prescription.’
' What is the second retr.edv?
Why, the second remedy Is, that
the farmer had been working too
hard. He has brought too much
land in cultivation —he must cut
down. With hungry mouths all over
the world, the farmer must turn his
corn fields Into weed patches, em
pty his Irrigation ditches, and sit
d wn to enjoy life of luxurious

Budget
Not the
Whole
Subject
WASHINGTON.—RecaII
of Secretary Wilbur to
Washington from his west
ern trip was decided upon
because President Coolidge
desired to talk with him
about several questions “in
the navy,” it was said Tues
day at the White House.
NOT CONFINED TO
BUDGET DISPUTE.
It was indicated that the aubjacta
involved were not confined exclusive,
ly to the dispute between the navy
department and the budget bureau as
to the provision t» oe made in the
administration budget figures for the
navy. No definite additional light
was thrown on questions other thad
those of the budget which the Presi
dent desired to take up with Mr.
Wilbur but it was added that the
message to the secretary did not in
dicate any emergency of a carious na.
ture.
At the same time It was disclosed
tiiat President Coolidge had been
giving considerable thought to the ex
pediency of making requests on con
gress for large appropriations for re
pair or alteration of battleships at
a time when representations have
been made to him that the success
of the army world flight tended to
demonstrate that the future freedom
of action of capital warsbipa would
be grealy limited by the danger of
aertsj attack.
Mr. Coolidge, It was said, had not
endeavored to reach a conclusion In
considering the pending naval and
aviation estimates as to the relative
Importance of these two branches of
the military service. In the course
of his public life, It was said, he has
heard several times that battleships
were practically extinct because of
the development of submarines or
high guns or some other new agency
of attack.
The recent successes In sir naviga
tion, however, are understood to have
l'lHde an Impression upon the Presi
dent to the extent of prompting him
to consider carefully every request for
enlarged appropriations either for the
navy afloat or for the navy or army
sir services In the light of probable
future usefulness for defensive pur
poses of each class of fighting craft.
