John William l>avis., the Democratic noiqiiiM for president, was horn ii\ Clarksburg. W, \a., in 187H, the only son in a family pf six children. His father, John J. Davis, also a native of Clark* burg, was an attorney and was con stantly active in civic enterprises. Ho served in the legislature of the state und was twice elected to congress, Mrs. Anna Kennedy Davis, the mother of John W. Davis, was a native of Baltimore. Mi. Davis was an alert student, be in?; graduate*! from Washington and Lee university at the age of 19. After receiving his bachelor of arts degree, he spent three years studying law and won the law degree, at the age of 2?, in 1895. He was admitted to the bar the same year. The following year he returned to the University to become professor of law. He taught one year, then began the practice of law in Clarksburg in partnership with his father. When in 1898 the Democrats of his town sought to send him to the house of delegates, the lower house of the legislature, he was reluctant to inter rupt his professional practice and re fused the nomination. He finally ac cepted, however, and was elected eas ily. He was made chairman of the judiciary committee of the house and later floor leader of his party. After one term in the legislature he re turned to his law office and clung to his determination to eschew politics. Between 1899 and 1910 the only political offices he. held were those of county chairman, member of the state executive committee of his party in 1908 and delegate to the national convention of 1904 and 1908. j When in 1910 the Democrats of his district chose him for representa tive in congress, he was again re luctant to accept. A unanimous vote of the convention won him over, how ever, and he conducted a vigorous campaign and was elected in a dis trict that had been Republican, for 20 years. He was reelected in 1912. In the national house, as in the legislature, Mr. Davis was made chairman of the judiciary committee. He took an active part in the im peachment and tfial of Judge Robert W. Archbold. As a result of his service on this committee President Wilson selected him as solicitor gen eral in 1913, and Mr. Davis resigned from the house to accept that office. In the summer of 1918, Mr. Davis went to Europe as a member of the commission of three Americans to treat with Germany as to the ex change of prisoners of war. He was in Berne on this mission when, upon the resignation of Walter Hines Page, Mr. Wilson made Mr. Davis the American ambassador to Great Britain. Mr. Davis returned to this country for a conference with the president and took up his work in London in November, just as the war came to an end. In his capacity of ambassador he was present in Ver McLEARY'S BODY FOUND A phone message from Cher aw yesterday afternoon stated that the body of Major McIAeary was found 11 miles this side of Cheraw in Ches terfield county where it had bp en hidden by the slayers. It was at first thought the body was placed on a farm near Cassatt in this county. Sheriff Welsh and others were in the search for the body yesterday. King, the slayer, and officers passed through Camden this morning en route to Cheraw where the confessed slayer directed the officer* to where the body was hidden. 1 Oregon's compulsory school law, whioh requires, with certain excep tions, all children between eight ami sixteen years of age to attend public school has been declared unconstitu tional by the Federal district court, sitting in Portland.

CITY FILLING STATION sailles during the peace conference. Mr. Davis' name as a candidate for president was placed before the Dem ocratic national convention in San Francisco in 1920 by Gov. John J. Covnwell of WesV Virginia. He re ceived a vote which reached a maxi mum of 76 on the 39th ballot. Mr. Davis at that time was busy as am bassador in London. Mr. Davis was married in 1899 to Miss Julia T. McDonald of Jefferson county, )Vest Virginia. After her death he married Miss Ellen (J. Bas sel, daughter of John Bassel, a West Virginia attorney. He has one child,; Mrs. William MacMillan Adams, who lives in Copenhagen. Three years ago Mr. Davis bought from A. C. Bedford, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Company <>f New York, a country home near Locust Valley, L. I., where he now lives. Mrs. Davis votes in Locust Valley, but Mr. Davis still casts his ballot in Clarksburg. i The Democratic nominee is a mem- J ber and vestryman of the Episcopal j Church of St. John in Lattingtown. j He is a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the Metropolitan and University clubs in New York, as well as the Chevy Chase, Lawyers' and National Press clubs, Washing ton. He was president of the West Virginia Bar association in 1906 and of the American Bar association in 1922. Mr. Davis was not an active candidate for the Democratic nomina tion for prynident, either -in J920 or this year. His attitude was ex pressed June 19, in a letter which he wrote to . the Davis-for-President club of Chicago. In it he said; "I am not a candidate for the nom ination and any decision to the con trary must come from the party' and not from myself." "My only desire," he added, "is that the party shall choose the man best calculated to lead it to success, for I agree with you in thinking' that the national situation imperatively demands the return of the Democratic party to power. With the record of She last three years before them, it id inconceivable that the people should voice their approval of these now in power." Mr. Davis on returning to the United States in April, 1921, joined the law firm of Stetson, Jennings, Russell & Davis, the same firm in which Grover Cleveland had member ship when he was nominated as the Democratic candidate for the presi dency in 1892. Because of his legal ability he soon became one of the leaders of the New York bar and as such was retained as counsel by magy large business* concerns. These legal connections were pointed to often by some of those who opposed Mr. Davis in the Democratic convention, notably by William Jennings Bryan. Taking cognizance of the objections that were being1 raised in some quarters, Mr. Davis in a letter to a friend, made public about a month ago, voiced his theory of the pro priety of such connections as related to public service. "I conceive it," ha said, "to be the duty of the lawyer, just as it is the duty of the. priest or surgeon, to serve those who cull on him, unless indeed, there is some in superable obstacle in the way. No one in all this list of clients has ever controlled or fancied that he coul4 control my personal or political con st* ie nee. "I am vain enough to imagine that no one ever will. The only limitation upon a right thinking lawyer's in dependence is that f duty he owes to his clients, once selected to save them without the slightest thought of the effect such a service may have upon his own personal popularity or politi cal fortunes. "Any lawyer who surrenders this independence or shades his duty by trimming his professional course to fit the gusts of popular opinion, in my judgment, not only dishonors himself but disparages and degrades the great profession* to- which he should be proud to belong. ?. . I must stand by my philosophy. What is life worth, after all, if one has no philos ophy of his own to live it by? If one surrenders this to win an office, what will he live by after the office is won? Tell me that." Mr. Davis has made no plans for the future. He will probably outline his campaign plans at his summer residence. Locust Valley.
