Davis Rests Campaign With Voters;
Appeals to Reason and Conscience
Decision Sit ould
Be Arrived at
Reverently, He
Tells Country
NEW YORK.—Candidate John W. Davis summed up
his case Saturday night and virtually rested his campaign
for the presidency with the jury of American voters.
His final appearance before a public audience was
made in Carnegie Hall here, and except for the radio ad
dress to be delivered Monday night be brought his per
sonal campaign to a close.
The speech Saturday night, Mr. Davis said, was an
“appeal to reason and conscience rather than to preju
dice.” And, on that plane, he chose to await the verdict
to be returned by the jury November 4th, the result ot,
which will return him to private life or give him the reins
of government for four years, beginning March 4th, next.
Summing up his arguments in be
half of the democratic national
ticket headed by himself, and Gov
ernor Charles W. Bryan, Mr. Davis
told his audience that decision be
fore the country could not be left
to impulse but should be arrived at
'•soberly, reverently and in the fear
of God.”
‘‘We are here tonight,” he said in
his opening remarks, “on serious
business. We have reached the end
of the campaign, and on Tuesday
next the people of New York will
chose those who are to serve them
for the next two years, and the
citizens of the United States will
mark out the course they r -e to
follow for a four year term. In the
lives of great states and great na
tions there are no trivial decisions.
“A single individual who has act
ed in haste, may easily retrace his
steps, but decisions that effect the
destiny of millions of men and wo
men cannot be left to impulse. It
behooves us all, therefore, in this
closing hour to think earnestly of
the duty that lies ahead and to cast
our ballots with a solemn sense of
our responsibility to ourselves and
to posterity. We owe it to our
selves and to those who shall come
after us to make sure that we are
guided by no spirit of blind parti
sanship or (political rancor, but
that we act, as the prayer book has
it, soberly, revently and in the fear
of God."
In the same tone of seriousness,
the candidate turned to the political
situation in New York state, de
claring the results there was not in
doubt.
‘Tnless we are prepared to ex
change experience for insipration,
nature has proven capacity for un
tried youth, and a record of achieve
ment for wordy promises,” he said,
“there will be no change in the ex
ecution offices of this state.”
“APPEAL TO REASON
AND ASSISTANCE.”
Regarding the national campaign,
Mr. Davis said he had tried as the
nominee of the democratic party
for the last hree months to “direct
tiio public mind to the question
which should decide this solu
tion.”
"I have sought to appeal to rea
son and conscience," he added,
"rather than to prejudicee. Claim
ing for myself no virtue which I
do not freely concede to my oppo
nents, I have endeavored to avoid
mere personalities, and have nei
ther assailed the character of any
man for the sake of political ad
vantage nor magnified his short
comings In order to arouse partisan
zeal.”
Mr. Davis, however, criticised the
conduct of those responsible for the
management of the republican cam
paign, charging they had diverted
attention from the real Issues.
"Yet, never, perhaps, In any cam
paign,” he said, “has the fine art
of diverting attention from the real
to the unreal been more earnestly
attempted than it has in this by
our republican friends.
“When we talk of corruption In
public office they point to the ex
istence of a budget. When we com
plain that the public treasury has
been plundered and the public do
main given away, they cry that the
constitution is In danger. When
we point to the unjust burdens
that prices artificially raised by
law have placed on the American
consumer, they offer “■ * he .

stark question of honesty in gov
ernment. It is one which no polit
ical party trusted with power can
be permitted' to escape. Whenever
under the rule of any party, cor
ruption becomes widespread and
notorious, whenever it extends not
only to mere underlings, but to
those in seats of highest power, the
party in whose ranks it appears
must expect to pay the penalty by
an outraged public opinion. It is
no reflection on the honest man
and woman who make up its rank
and file, it is no reproach to any
left in office whose virtue is still
intact, to insist that the party or
ganization to which they belong
shall stand or fall by the record it
has made.
“There is a decline which no
party can be permitted to cross
with impunity. There is a degree
of corruption which calls for stern
rebuke even by the adherents of
the party itself, unless by their com
placence they are willing to take
upon their own shoulders a share of
responsibility for the crime;
"I cannot believe that the coun
try will rest content with thfe state
ment of President Coolidge that the
wonder is not that the corruption
involved so much and so many,
rather that it was so little and so
few. We cannot be asked to ac
cept in American government any
lower standard than that of ab
solute and entire honesty. We
have the right to demand that not
some, but all of those who serve
us shall prove faithful in their
trust. I appeal not only to dem
ocrats, but all patriots of whatever
party, to express at the ballot box
their determination to accept no
lower standard. On a great issue
like this of moral right and moral
wrong, there is no room for divis
ion among Americans on party is
sues. And especially do I appeal to
the fathers and mothers of Ameri
can in whose hands rests the train
ing of our future citizens, to make |
an example that coming generations j
will remember of those who de- |
grade public office and betray the
public trust.
“There is the question of effi
ciency in government. No politi
cal party has the right to ask a re
newal of Its power unless it can
show that it ha« kept Its promises j
In the past and is able to perform
them in the fturc. If It is to in
vite the public confidence it must
present leaders who can lead and
followers who are willing to sup
port that leadership. I cannot
think that under our system of
government the duty of executive
leadership Is discharged by abor
tive vetoes, or that a party Is en
titled to confidence when it exhib
its an inability to agree, in congress
or without, upon party policies.
SAYS FORCES NOT
TO BE RECONCILED.
"The contending forces that have
spit the republican party in twain
will not be reconciled merely by a |
republican victory. Their struggle I
will but be begun again upon a new

NILES, O.—State militia
Saturday patrolled the streets
of Niles following a day of riot
ing between members of the
Ku Klux Klan and Knights of
the Flaming Circle. Quiet was
rapidly returning Saturday.
Militiary control, however, was
not established until after al
most a dozen persons had been
shot or badly mauled. Some
are in hospitals in serious con
dition at Warren, the county
seat of Trumbull county, five
miles away.
As the big motor trucks roll
ed through the streets loaded
with soldiers and machine guns
mounted on their hoods and
tops, shouts and cheers went
up from the crowds which lined
the streets.
“EVERYTHING QUIET,"
SHERIFF REPORTS,
Sheriff John E. Thomas said this
evening after a tour of the city
that “everything Is quiet and I
don't expect any more trouble.”
The sheriff with scores of special
deputies had managed to keep tho
opposing forces from coming to
gether en masse until the arrival
of state troops. His efforts In pre
serving order, however, did not
prevent numerous sporadic clashes
among detached units of the op
posing forces, resulting in the cas
ualltles.
"I am tickled to death that it was
no worse,” was the only statement
Sheriff Thomas would make to
night.
Col. X. S. Connelly, of the 145th
infantry, who was placed in com
mand of all troops ordered to Niles
by Governor Donahey, in a state
ment to tho citizens of Niles, said
It was not his intention to impose
unnecessary military regulations on
them and urged all to co-operate
with him In maintaining order.
KLANSMEN LEAVE
CITY RAPIDLY.
Saturday night practically all
klansmen from other points had
left the city or were rapidly leav
ing by back routes or avoiding en
tering the city. A special train car
rying several hundred klansmen
from Kent and other cities arrived
after the militia had taken charge
They were not permitted to leave
tho train. Many business places
were closed Saturday night. All
hanks were closed, though it was
their custom to remain open on
Saturday nights.
Throughout all Saturday’s tense
period, Mayor Harvey C. Kistler
was not at his office, which ho had
left Friday evening. No one Con
nected with the city administration
professed to know where the city’s
chief executive was. Police Chief
L. J. Rounds said he thought May
or Kistler "probably is in the city
somewhere attending to official du
ties.” '
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE
IN MARTIAL ATTIRE.
COLUMBUS, O.—Gov. Vic Dona
hey’s office here Saturday night has
been transformed Into a military
headquarters and the governor had
temporarily dropped his title as
chief executiee to become com
mander-in-chle of the state's mil
itary forces, following a hectic day
of developments during which the
governor was forced to declare
qualified martial law at Niles and
occupy the town with state troops.
Declaring of martial law followed
reports from the governor’s confi
dential agents there that riots and
disorders had occurred and that
troops were necessary to protect
life and property. The official pro
clamation was written and signed
by the governor and given to MaJ.-
Oon. Benson Hough, of tho Ohio
National Guard, who was sent to
Niles to take charge.
Reports of activities of klan and
nntl-klan forces made to the gov
ernor during the day and early
evening caused him to confer al
most continuously with Adjutant-
General Henderson, who issueed tel
egraphic orders for movement of
troops. Approximately 1,300 Ohio
National Guardsmen were to occu
py the town before midnight.

BOSTON.—Declaring a deadlock
In the electoral college will mean
elevation of Charles W. Bryan to
tho presidency. Attorney General
Stone told tho voters of Massachu
sets in a speech here Saturday
night that the paramount issue In
the campaign was a choice between
Bryan and Coolldge.
“Do the j,eople of the United
States want Mr. Bryan for presi
dent, or even for vice-president? No
one has ever had the temcterlty to
suggest euch a thought,” continued
the attorney general. “The demo
cratic party rebelled at tho sug
gestion until Its own candidate for
president, ably seconded by Mr.
William Jennings Bryan, perform
ed the necessary operation upon an
exhausted and defenseless conven
tion and this triumph of political
straddling was achieved.
“That action of the democratic
candidate In cheoßing his running
mate; his gesture for a recall elec
tion If he is elected and if after two
years tho people are unable to hear
the burden—a proposal impossible
of execution under our laws an*
constitution, give tho true mean*
ure of the experience and associa
tions of a life time. They have
shaken confidence in his leader
ship and In hi* capacity to head the
government.
“The choice of Mr. Bryan an a
vice-presidential candidate has
wrecked the democratic campaign
and we mutt fairly face the issue,
whether the third party proponal to
make Mr. Bryan president shall be
allowed to wreck the country."

SWEEPING VICTORY
FOR THE BONDS
Charles S. Bohler, tax collector
for Richmond county, said Satur
day night that the total registra
tion was about 10,600, and that this
estimate would not misa the actual
figures more than a dozen votes
either way. Basing deductions on
10.600 as the total registry, 5,30'
votes were necessary to be polled n
order for the issue to carry, and a
two-thirds majority of the votes
polled must be cast in favor of the
bonds. The above figures, therefore,
indicato a sweeping victory for tha
issue of tho bonds.
Tha bonds carried every box by
a large margin, with the exception
of the 121st. and 1269th. districts,
the votes in these two country dis
tricts being close. The 166Cth. dis
trict gave an exact two-thirds ma
jority to the bond issue, while tha
123rd. voted at the rate of 30 to
1 in their favor. The largest pro
portionate majority was given by
the fourth ward, where the ratio
was about 50 to 1,
ALL BUT TWO WARDS
GO OVER THE MARGIN
Every ward In the city went far
above the neccsaary half of the
registry in the polling except the
second and third, both of which fell
slightly under. Both of these wnfds,
however, gave big margins In fav
or of the bonds. The fifth did not
vote as strongly as was expected,
but the majority was safe for tha
bonds.
The streets and about the polling
places were orderly, not a single
untoward Incident occurring
thorghout the day. Academy cadets
patrolled the streets all during the
voting hours, carrying banners call
ing on the citizens to vote for tha
bonds and urging them to go to
the ballot box. The Academy band
serenaded the voters at the booths
at various Intervals during the day.

during the afternoon for short con

ACADEMY BOYS
IN CELEBRATION
Following the announcement from
the newspaper offices that the Is
sue had won, the boys of tho
Academy ran wild on Broad street,
cheering, blowing horns, beating
drums and engaging In every pos
sible means of producing noise.
Cheers were heard up and down
the business section of the city,
from the throats of grown-ups and
children, and Augusta as a whole
was thrilled with the glad tidings.
Lawton B. Evans, superintend
ent of county schools, in a state
ment to The Herald late Saturday
night, said; “The community at
large Is Indebted to the voters who
so loyally went out and cast their
ballots for this great movement. I
can only say that I am very glad *
of the result.”
The bonds, authorized by an act
of the legislature and by the vole*
of the people In Saturday’s election,
amount to a total of $350,000, $300,-
000 of which will go toward tha
building of a new Academy of
