NEW YORK, July 10.— John W. Davis, of West Vir- ginia, and Governor Charles W. Bryan, of Nebraska, are the Democratic party’s can- didates for president and vice president. Emerging on the 103rd ballot a the Democratic national convention's choice for the presidential nomina- tion, the West Virginia lawyer and diplomat swept away great waves of bitterness churned up during the 15 preceding days of stormy conflict, Then, taking command immediately, the new head of the party guided the convention swiftly toward the selection of his running mate, the brother of William J. Bryan, him most vigorous opponent throughout the balloting. When the convention adjourned at 2:24 a. m. today, it had filled many new pages of political history, rising in dramatic force from the violent struggle twelve days ago over nam- ing the Ku Klux Klan in the party platform through the record-breake ing deadlock between the supporters of William G. McAdoo and Governor Alfred &, Smith that held through 100 ballots before a presidential nomt- nation was in sight, And in the closing scenes came a new precedent in the personal appearance of the nominee to acknowledge his grati- tude, and his prompt assumption of command. The final adjournment that marke ed the formal ending of the conven. tion came two minutes after ernor Bryan had been nominated for vice president. It was accomplished with a single ballot, through the changing of many votes that eliminated most of the thirty names that first appeared, but it was not made unanimous. The weary delegates had finished their work. Not all of the scars suffered in the long struggle had been healed at the end, despite the tact that the votes which lifted the Davis forces to vic- tory had come from both principal contending groups that had fought each other to a standstill for more than a week. A handful of die-hards in the McAdoo and Smith camps, however, took no heart in the color. ful and harmonious conclusion. When the balloting dential nomination turned definitely away from their {dols, many of the leaders in the long fight for McAdoo and some of those who had strug. gied with equal zeal for Governor Smith were absent for the first tima in days, but others were on hand ex.
