WANTS JOHN W. DAVIS PUT UP BY DEMOCRATS Washington, May 26.?Interest was aroused in Washington by the leading editorial in Sunday's New York Times entitled "A Great Democrat," which suggeste?l that ilie present condition of the country's affairs culled for the nomination of strong men by both major ]N>litical parties and dirwt?l the attention of democrats to the ability and (lemnnKtratiHl statesmanship of John \\ . Davis of West Virginia, tln? Atncrinin ambassador to (treat Britain. 'I'liis interest arose mainly from the fact that Tlu* Times' editorial put in conerete form what has been in the minds of many prominent democrats ever since the pre-convcntion contests became tiefive, for Mr. Davis has het-n spoken of in democratic councils, and regret has been expressed that his admirers had made no elfort to bring his name to tin attention of the democratic leaders and electorate. * Warm words of praise came today from prominent democrats who read the editorial in The Times. That Mr. Davis wonld have made n strong candidate for the presidential nomination of his party had he permitted the >ise of his name was indicated by practically all those who commented on the subject. It was pointed out. however, that many or most of t host who would he inttucntial in the San Francisco convention had either committed themselves to other aspirants for the orcsidcnt inl Imiiiir i>r bail inailo m> their minds to snp|iort one of t base wliile not commit till); themselves pub IieI\ nt this time.

Political observers believe that this state of af fairs favors the nomination of William ( . McAdoo, to whom a number of state delegations are known or understood to be committed. At the same time there is an undercurrent of opposition to Mr. McAdoo. particularly anion," recognized party leaders of the coiiscr vativc stamp, on the ground that ii would be. iiiiwise to nominate for Presi dent a mall eloselv allied with Presi dent Wilson, personally and otherwise These leaders contend that it will he impossible to differentiate between the President and his sou in-law should the latter be chosen to head the democratic ticket, and that all the sins that have been attributed to the Wilson administration will lie charged to Mr. McAdoo. They also feel that Mr. McAdoo is too radical, mid that 11 mini of Mr. D.ivis' type if I >ct lev suited to lu-iid tile lilt tional piveruineiit under pro-cut condi tinus.

It has also aided the aspirations of Governor (.'ox of Ohio, who is now an avowed eandidate for the 'nomination. While Mr. McAdoo's association with President Wilson was at one time regarded as a great asset to his political aspirations. there is a growing feeling among i considerable number of party leaders that it would be well to have as the presidential candidate some other man of strength and ability whose position in the party has been more independent. For these and other reasons, the promnence given the name of Amliassador Davis finds an echo in the minds of ninny uemoeriuic pom iciaiis in \>nsiington.
