Davis Restates His Position on League Issue
Direct
Reply to
Inquiry
Is Made
WASHINGTON, Dem
ocratic national headquar
ters here has received the
following statement by John
W. Davis, the party’s presi
dential nominee, replying
to a direct question whether
he favors the entrance of
the United States into the
league of nations.
In my speech of acceptance
opening th e democratic campaign, I
expressed my attitude on this ques
tion with complete frankness. I
said, speaking in the sheerest terms
of national interest, it was not wise,
or prudent, or safe that 54 nations
of the world should sit toqether in
conference on world affairs and
America be absent. I said while
this nation could not join the lea
gue of nations helpfully unless and
until the common judgment of the
Ameri-an. people supported such a
step, the day will come, in my judg
ment, when we should see that both
interest and duty dictated that step.
“I do not believe that the league
of nations is perfect, I do not be
lieve that it has assumed its final
ferm. I believe in life and growth
and custom and habit. I am not
c-ncomed even about the terms on
which we shall appear at the coun
cil table of the world. Out of that
anpearance and out of such confer
ence in God’s good time will grow a
f-iendly habit among men. the cus
tom of calm and reasonable discus
r’on and a proper yielding, not to
fn-r.e, not to a superstate, not to a
r-mmand but in the language of
Declaration of Independence
i l —lf: To a decent respect for the
rp'olon of mankind.”
NASHVILLE. Tenn.—Reports
r'vcn John W. Davis, democratic
roninee for president, during the
I-st 24 hours by Tennessee demo-
t —'tic leaders here were summar
ised by Mr. Davie Monday in a
s -tsment declaring that the na
t onal and local tickets in this state
will be given ‘‘an old-time plural
ity” two weeks from Tuesday.
“All of the reports received by
me in personal contact with the
Tennessee democratic leaders, in
cluding Representative Cordell Hull
and the other party representatives
indicate that this state is safely
democratic,” Mr. Davis said. "It
will give me an old-time plurality
to the national and local tekets two
weeks from Tuesday.
“The same enthusiasm and earn
est interest which has marked my
tour through New York, Indiana,
Illinois and Missouri, has been met
with here. The cause of democracy
is gaining everywhere. TTie voters
understand the issues and are de
termined to order a change in the
conduct of the government at
Washington.”
SAYS REPUBLICAN
RANKS FRIGHTENED
Mr. Davis nlso reiterated his
pronouncement that although he
believed the DaFollette-Wheeler in
dependent ticket would "snatch star
or eight states,” from the repub
lican columns in November, he saw
no reason for the democratic par
ty to fear that result.
That the republican ranks were
frightened by the prospect of La-
Follette success in the six or eight
states the candidate said, did not
furnish sufficient reason for alarm
in his party's councils.
Mr. Davis spent his time Monday
between confereneces at his hotel
quarters, and two addresses he was
to deliver before meetings at the
Vanderbilt stadium and later at a
dinner given under the auspices of
the Nashville chamber of com
mere©.
Senator Ralston, of Indiana, re
tained the Davis party here Mon
tnv and will remain with the can
didate probably through the re
turn trip irrto that state.
As plans are drawn at present
Mr. Davis will leave Nash vie
Tuesday morning for Louisville,
Ky, departing Tuesday night sot
Vincennes and Evansville, Ind. The
candidate will speak Thursday eve
ning in Cleveland and leave that
night, arriving in New York about
5 o'clock Friday afternoon.

"Slush” Inquiry Shifts to Washington
DAVIS' ELECTION
DIM CHANCE 10
OBTAIN DEFORMS.
MIOOjTATES
WASHINGTON—AIthough pre
vented by illness carrying out
plans to make an extensive speak
ing trip in behalf of the democra
tic ticket, Willian G. McAdoo in
formed Senator Swanson, of Vir
ginia, head of the democratic
speakers’ bureau, in a letter * pu
lished Monday and through mes
sages to friends, he was doing his
"utmost to help the cause.”
The letter written at Johns Ijlop
kins Hospital, Baltimore, where he
recently submitted to an opera
tion, asserted that “the alternative
to Davist is Coolidge, reaction and
chaos.” The election of John W.
Davis and Charles W. Bryan, he
added, offers the only chance to
"purify the government and to ac
complish the reforms demanded
by the people.” It was his first ex
tended statement on the campaign
since the democratic national con
vention.
“If the forces of reaction repre
sented by the Coolidge administra
tion succeed in November,” he
said, "it will he due solely to the
division in the ranks of the prog
ress and liberal forces in America.
It Is a great pity that the prog
ressives led by LaFollette and
Wheeler, and the democrats led by
Davis and Bryan cannot present
a united front against the common
enemy.”

Sunday night, of Eric Onstad, La-
Follette leader, that Wisconsin had
contributed only $40,000.

would be raised, but it “was more
enthusiastic than actual facts justi
fied."

In Sections of

Slight tremors, thought to be due to some earth dis
turbance, were reported to the United States Weather
Bureau here early Monday morning by residents of The
Hill section of this city. Telephone calls to the Augusta
Herald also reported that a ’quake had been felt in the
hill section.
Dr. James E. Lovejoy, government official here, said
the tremors caused his home to shake and set dogs in the
neighborhood to barking. The ’quake was felt here
about 3:30 Monday morning.
STANDARD OIL OF
INDIANA REPLIES
TO SUIT STARTED
BY GOVERNMENT
CHICAGO—Many of the con
tracts mentioned by the govern
ment in Its suit started Inst June
under tho Sherman act agalnHt
some 60 oil companies, expired long
before the suit was filed, the Stand--
ard Oil Company of Indiana, set
up Monday in its answer. Dhe
Texas Company recently filed a
general denial of the charges.
The licensing of one company to
use the patents of another was the
result of many patents, some of
which overlapped others so that
nome of the companies were threat
ening each otlrer with Infringe
ment suits, according to the an
swer. To obviate this situation, the
a newer set forth, It was agreed to
adjust these controversies for use
of ’’cracklng”patents by licensing
tho companies.
These so-called pooling agree
ments were not combinations in re
straint of trade or commerce nnriong
the state or foreign nations as
| charged by the government, the
answer asserted, hut on' the con
trary the Standard Oil Company,
of Indiana, "has endeavored to and
has observed In latter nnd spirit the
laws of the United States of.Amcrl
ea."
BAYB 23 VALID
PATENTB OWNED
The defendant company, accord
ing to answer, owns 23 different
valid United States patents for the
cracking process. Early In Its ex
perience in licensing other com
panies to use its patents, the an
swer said, there were restrictive
clauses in the contracts ss ad
vised by its legnl counsel for the
protection of Its business, but that
•'all contracts containing the re
strictive provision" about which the
government complained, expired
more than six years before filing
the suit.
The snswer says that In 1923
when domestic production og gaso
line reached seven and one-half
billions of gallons, 80 per cent, of
it was what Is known as "straight
run” gasoline and not produced bv
the cracking methods as patented.
“Straight-run” gasoline, it explain
ed, is produced by the use of heat
and stills.
"This defendant denies,” said the
answer, "that the British patents
Issued to James Young In 1865 dis
closed an invention for the produc
tion of cracked gasoline.”
The answer says the company
believed that some of its licenses In
using its processes havs sold crack
ed gasoline In Its territory In viola
tion of their agreement In the con
tracts but that it never has en
forced the contract provision.
LEAGUE COUNCIL
To Meet October 27th on
Irok Boundary Question
GENEVA.—Officials of the league
of nations announced Monday that
a sufficient number of favorable
replies had been received from
member nations to assure that a
special meeting of the council to
settle the difficulties between
Great Britain and Turkey over the
Irak boundary would be held. This
meeting, It was stated, would be
held at Brussels October 27th In
stead of at. Paris as had been ori
ginally intended.
Considerable clrltlclsm of the
policy of holding the council end
other league meetings outside of
Geneva has arisen on the ground
thst such procedure Is unduly ex
pensive and because Oeneva Is con
sidered neutral.
The council has adopted the prin
ciple that It shall not meet outside
of Geneva more than once a year
and the December session this year
will he held In Rome. The forth
coming special meeting at Brus
sels will he considered ns excep
tional. The agenda probably will
be mnflned to the Mosul boundary
problem.
