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>

Milt from what was said hv severa'

some of them with the injinietion that
they were not to he ipioted hv name?

the present situation the bulk of delegates
to the democratic national eon
vent ion are uniiistriieted. 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

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'

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.
It will tnkr two-thirds of the

may work to the advantage of those

oino other man holding similar eonviotions
