DAVIS WOULD BE 21st LAWYER AMONG 30 PRESIDENTS OF U. S. Legal Profession Only One of Many of Traditional Presidential Trappings of Democrats’ Nominee. If John W. Davis Is elected Presl- dent he will be the 218t lawyer to oc- cupy the White House. Only nine Presidents so far have not been mem- bers of the bar. The average age at which men have been elected President was 58. Davis is only 51. Roosevelt was 43 when he succeeded McKinley, and he was the youngest President. Willlam Henry Harrison was 67. Davis s six years ounger than his running mato, les W. Bryan. Twenty of the 29 Presidents were college men, and as Mr. Davis Is a graduate of Washington and Lee Uni- versity he would add another to the list of the sheepskin holders. The father Mr. Davis was a ver, as were the fathers of four other Presidents—John Quincy Adams, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler and Willlam H. Taft. The best chance to become Presl- ., however, I8 to be a farmer's A baker's dozen of the Presi- were sons of farmers, and X g all others in race to the House. Next to the farm the best stepping stone to the presidency apears to have been the governorship of a state. Coolidge, Wilson, Roosevelt, McKinley, Cleveland, Hayes and John- son were State governors, All of the Presidents except two— Van Buren and Roosevelt—were of British extraction. Jefferson, how- ever, was the only Welshman and Davis' ancestry can also be traced back to Walcs. ' Majority Clean-Shaven. Davis has plenty of presidential precedents in being clean-shaven.

Most of the information thus far available seems to indicate that the federal bombardment of Sao Paulo aroused local patriotism and united the population in support of the pro- visional government and defense of the city. It is pointed out that, from a military standpoint, the @errai above Sao Paulo, which is hilly, thickly wooded and with relatively few roads, makes for the prolonga tion of fighting. Military operations are difficult for the attacking army, which will need greatly superior forces to do more than besiege the city. American Gives Impressions. An American business man, inter- viewed by La Nacion’s Montevideo correspondent upon the former's ar- rival from Rio de Janeiro aboard the steamer Andres, stated that “the PBrazilian federal forces are not in a position to crush the Sao Paulo revolt and the most the federal go ernment can hope for is to arrive at some agreement with the rebels.” The American, who is a repre- sentative of a United States com- pany doing business with Brazil, is quoted as saying that President Bernardes of Brazil has already made several propositions to the revolu- tionists for a compromise. On July 12, it was said, the president sent two emissaries to arrange an armis- tice and was answered by the de- mand for his immediate resigna; It was stated that President Ber- nardes is patriotically ready to sa rifice himself for the sake of national unity and only demands from the revolutionists respect for the con- stituted state authorities and federal courts, without which guarantee he considers it harmful to leave office. Opposition to Oficers. In the interview the American said that the insurrecton was both of a political and military character and had “its origin in the opposition shown to military men when Presi- dent Bernardes assumed power.” Con- tinuing, the interview states: “This opposition has been main- tained and accentuated during Presi- dent Bernardes’' two years in effice. The fact that the outbreak occurred at Sao Paulo is explained when it is known that it is one of the strongest states in Brazil, where military men opposing the president have the strongest foothold. “The rebels do not bear any ani- mosity against State President Da Campos. In fact, they offered to per- mit him to retain his post, but Da Campos voluntarily retired. The reb- cls are in possession of Sao Paulo City, which nobody dares dispute.” The correspondent was told that ample was followed by Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur. If Mr. Davis should be elected he would bhe the elghth Presbyterian to oceupy the White House. The Presi- dents who have held the Presbyterian faith were Wilson, Benjamin “Harri- son, Lincoln, Buchanan, Polk, Jack- son’and Cleveland. The addition of Mr. Davis as a Prosbyterian would give to that faith the same number of Presidents as has had the Episcopalian Church. The Epliscopalians de_their big p! dential record in the early day the republic, while the hold of the Church of England ‘was still strong. The election of Mr. Davis would put the Johns one ahead of the Wil- liams and make that name the run- ner-up to James as the favorite Christian name of hte Chief Ex- ecutives. Three of the Presidents were named John—the elder Adams, Quiney Adams and Tyler, not count- ing President Coolidge, Who was named after the great religious r former, John Calvin, but dropped the John early in life. Five of the Presi- dents were named James—Madi<on, Monroe, Polk, Buchanan and Garfleld. The three Williams were the first Har- rison, McKinley and Taft. Mr. Davis, it is interesting to note, has William as 1l as John in his name, which may give him a double chanck. His full name contains sixteen letters, the same number as that of the first President. In his affiliation with the Masons Mr. Davis likewise has many presi- dential precedents. Many “of the Chief Executives have belonged to the Masonic fraternity, the list in- cluding Washington, Polk, Buchanan, Jackson, Johnson, Garfield, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Harding. Was ington was the first master of Alex- andria-Washington Lodge at Alex andria, Va. Jackson was Grand Mastor of the Grand Lodge of Ten- nessee. Johnson was the first Pre dent who was a Scottish Rite Mason of the 32d4 degree. Garfield, Mc- Kinley and Harding were Knights Templar. several Americans arriving in Rio de Janeiro, who were in Sao Paulo dur- ing the first days of the outbreak, declared that the rebels were rapidly attempting to reorganize all public services and maintain order within the city. They are said to have provided the Americans with escorts h saw them safely out of the s lines. La Nacion informant , according to data obtained Rio de Janeiro and confirmed confiden- tially in official quarters, the rebels, although they do not number more than 10,000 men, are very much stronger than the government forces, in view of the support given them by other states such as Rio Grande do Sul. There the rebels are said to have obtained the promise of the state troops that they would observe neutrality in the present insur- rection and would not march against the forces now holding Sao Paulo. “This is exactly what occurred when State President Borges at- tempted to send troops to aid the federal government,” the American said. “The commanding officers of the state troops refused to go to the aid of the government. The gpvern- ment has no faith in its federal force, some of whom have already gone over the revolutionists. It fears to send the troops against the rebels because of other probable desertions. I am sure the federal forces will not be able to crush the revolution, which, if it does not end with a rebel victory, will terminate in a friendly pact. This is the only hope left for the government.” EMBASSY SAYS LINES HOLD. added in Loyal Troops Capture Prisoners and Supplies at Sao Paulo. Leyal troops of the government of Brazil retain the positions which they had occupied as a result of maneuvers which they have carried out with en- tire success, according to official commuriques from Sao Paulo, Brazil, made public by the Brazilian em- bassy here today. Two communiques explaining the situation in Sao Paulo were announced by the embassy as follows: Communique of yesterday noon “Our troops retain the positions which they had occupied as a result of maneuvers which they have just carried out with ertire success. It is confirmed by authoritative infor- mation received from various places that the rebels are daily losing men, who are withdrawing to the interior of the State of Sao Paulo and who are captured by the local authorities.” Communique ‘of last midnight: “Our troops are continuing an im- portant manreuver which is in opera- tion along the whole front for a de- cisive action. Our left wing has oc- cupied the barracks of the state mili- tary police :n the Rua Vergueiro in the City of Sao Paulo, making thirty prisoners. On the right wing we have made progress, capturing machine guns ard much ammunition.” Even the handy man about the house will tell you it is easier to make a new promise than to mend a broken one.

WATSON ASSAILS DAVISANDBRYAN Senator, in New Hampshire, Calls Combination “Im- possible Mesalliance.” By the Associated Press. LACONIA, N. H,, July 18.—The Democratic ticket, Davis and Bryan, was described as an “impossible mesalliance” here last night by Sena- tor James E. Watson of Indiana in a speech opening the Republican cam- paign in New Hampshire. “Judging by the usually accepted standard,” said Senator Watson, “Davis is an.ultra-conservative, while Bryan is an extreme radical. Davis is safe and sound, while Bryan's mind is running over with fads and va- garies. If they are elected, will the dog wag the tail or the tail wag the dog? “Is Bryan to run on the same plat- form with Davis, or is each to run on his own platform? Is Davis to stand on the Democratic platform in the Zast, and Bryan on his own platform in the West? Or are they simply go- ing to run, without reference to any platform?” - Charges Radicalism. pport his charge of “radical- ainst the Democratic vice idential nominee, the Indiana senator quoted Go Bryan as having declared for currency inflation to give the agricultural interests a better price for their products; for govern- ment gperation of coal mines to force a 25 pér cent reduction in coal pric for control of the oil industry by State B rnments, until oil prices have been reduced; for repeal of the trans- portation act; for a 30 per cent redu tion in freight Aty with govern- ment operation as the alternative, an(% against all “entangling alliances abroad. P “The idea of inflation” said Sena-| tor Watson, “scems to b€ an obsession with the Bryan family. Manifestly, if the price of agricultural products was advanced by the process of cur- renc inflation, "all prices would be correspondingly advanced and the farmer would be no better off. Prices and Wages. fow is the mine price of coal to be reduced 25 per cent unless wages are correspondingly reduced? Will the coal miner consent to a 25 per cent reduction in wages? Does John W. Davis believe in the Bryan plard? The whole price-fixing policy by governmental action is fatuous and misleading, as ev seriment at- tempted in the world in the last 3,000 years conclusively proves.” Declaring Mr. Bryan's stand against entangling alliances amounted to a declaration “against dragging the United States into the league of na- tions,” Mr. Watson asserted that the discrepancy of view between the two | nominees became fully apparent when | it was recalled that “Mr. Davis w devout follower of Woodrow Wi and an earnest advocate of the 3 of our entering the league without | reservations BERRY SAYS PRINTERS’ PACT ASSURES PEACE Arbitration Board in New York Confirms Contract for Press- men’s Pay Boost.
