DAVIS SPECIAL E NROUTE TO
ST. LOUIS, SPRINGFIELD, Mo.—
Aftter three days campaigning in Il
linois John W. Davis returned
Saturday to Missouri to again plead
ills cause to the people on that bor
der state. Before delivering Sat
urday night at St. Louis what he,
planned to make one of the major
speeches in his fight for the presi
dency, the democratic standard
bearer will motor this afternoon to
East St. Louis for his farewell ad
dress on Illinois soil.
Facing a rather strenuous pro
gram for this afternoon and eve
ning, Mr. Davis planned to get as
much rest as possible in the fore
noon, for he found himself some
what fatigued after the whirlwind
finish of his two-days’ speaking in
Chicago.
Dashing from district to district
in the foreign quarter in that city
last night the nominee delivered
three addresses in the course of
which he defined his conception of
the process of making Americans.
He declared that equality of
rights “attaches the very moment
when any -man or woman lands
upon American soil to cast his lot
among us.”
"If he is honest, industrious. God
fearing,” Mr. Davis said, “it is not
ours to ask what corner of the globe
he comes, in with sincerity, earnest
of heart he comes here to do his
duty as a citizen, together with the
other citizens of this country and
from the moment of his arrival, he
should be treated with that Kindly
generosity and equality which will
not only make him glad that he had
made the great adventure and cut
loose from the ties he has known
so long, to cast his lot on new and
unknown shores, but will endear
his heart to the country of his
adoption. And that, alone, is the
process that we hear so much about
of making Americans. You must,
make people glad to be Americans i
before you can expect to make
Americans of them.
“All that we ask and all that we
should ask of any newcomer to
this country is that he take his
part with those whom he finds here
to build up this American nation
with high ideals of service, of
honor, and of patriotism that all
men alikg must wish it to exhibit.
For when we come to think about
it, we Americans, whither early
comer lately here, what are we, all
of us, but immigrants and the chil
dren of immigrants. Some of us
came years ago from the British
Isles, Scotchmen and English and
Irish and Welsh. Some of us came
from tiny Holland; some of us
came from Germany; some of us
from Spain and some from France;
some from Bohemia, some from Po
land. Russia, Italy, where you will,
every nation has brought its great
gifts of faculty, ofenterprV'. of
art, or music and built them all In
to this glorious structure that we
look upon today.”

. MERCHANT FOUND
PITTSBURGH—The headless
and silken pajama-clad body of
John LaPaglia. wealthy Italian
merchant, was found j» his luxur
iously furnished apartment Satur
day. The head had been severed by
an axe and the assassin had care
fully covered the body with silk

ing on three stories—that LaPaglia
was the victim of blackmailers,
bootleggers or a woman. The offi
cers are searching for two women,
said to have been frequent visitors
to the apartment and for the oc
cupants of an automobile bearing
Ohio license plates. The machine,
motorcycle officers' said, stood in

NOMINATIONS FOR
PARLIAMENT BEING
MADE IN BRITAIN
LONDON—Nominations of can
didates for the parliamentary elec
tion to be held October 291 b. are
being made Saturday throughout
Great Britain and nortls rn Ire
land. It is calculated beforehand
that the candidates will number
approximately 1,400.
It is noteworthy that the liberals
are nominating 100 fewer than in
the last election while th-> laborites
will have about 100 more than oil
that occasion and, according to a
statement made Friday night, will
total well over SOO, representing the
biggest effort they have yet made.
The number of women seeking to
enter parliament grows steadily
with every general election, as
against the 34 last December there
are 41 now, with possibility of a
slight Increase when the pnpers
are handed in Saturday. Twenty
one of the women are on the la
bor ticket, 12 are conservative, sev
en liberals and one Independent.
All t<e cabinet members, except
perhaps Postmaster-General Ver
non Hartshorn, will have to fight
at the polls to retain their seats
and few of the leaders of the other
parties will escape contests.
There are many Instances of
fathers and sons appealing for elec
tion, mostly on the same tickets.
Noteworthy among the parents
whose parliamentary lead is thus
followed are Prime Minister Mac-
his fellow laborites, John
Robert Clyne* and Arthur Hender
son and among the liberals former
Prt*.iier Lloyd George and Hir Al
fred Mond. A striking exception
to family political agreement 1*
that of the Baldwins, the conversa
tlve leader's son, Oliver, being a
champion of labor.
