DAVIS FINDS MAINE - RETREAT RESTFUL Democratic Nominee Takes . Long Nap—Warmly Re- ceived En Route. SHORT SPEECH AUGUST 11 Addresses After Notification Also Will Be Comparatively Brief, He Now Plans. By the Associated Press. DARK HARBOR, Islesboro, Me., July 19.—John W. Davis, Democratic idential nominee, began a real tion today at the home of Charles | Dana Gibson, a comfortable cottage overlooking the island-dotted Pe- nobscot B Arriving at the harbor about noon, after an overnight train journey from New York, the nominee and Mrs. Davis were greeted at the dock by Mr. and Mrs. Gibson, the artist being able to make the trip in spite of his indisposition. After Mr. Davis had greeted the crowd which overflowed the tiny wharf, he and Mrs. Davis entered a carriage—automobiles be- ing banned from the island—for a * short drive over a winding roadwa flanked by a double column of birche: Reaching the wharf across the island they went by motorboat to the Gib- son” home, on Seven Hundred Acre 1sland, a ant half-mile away. Takes Nap After Lunch. After lunch Mr. Davis had a long ap. and he planned to spend several days in rest and recreation before starting on the task of mapping out in his mind the address formally ac- cepting the presidential nomination which he is to deliver at the notifi- ation ceremonies at Claskrburg, W. Ya., on the night of August 11. For his vacation period of ten days the nominee has prepared no fixed pro- &riam He ‘will come to Islexboro occasion- ally to play golf on the links here, as there is no course on Seven Hundred Acres Island, but most of his time Wil be spent quietly at the Gibson home, rambling in the gardens or hiking or swimming on his journey here from New York the nominee had his first experience in greeting crowds from the rear phatform’ of his train This was at Ba Me., where several hundred men and women had gathered. Shakes Hands With Many. Leaving his car while the trainmen were getting the train aboard a ferry for the trip across the river, Mr. Davis shook hands with those who had come to see him. Boarding the ferry, he greeted the crews of both the craft and the train. Several stops were made between PBath and Rockland, and Mr. Davis interrupted his breakfast to shake hands with a small crowd at one place. A larger group greeted him at Rockland, among them Cyrus H. K. Curtis and several of the delegates to the New York convention as well as Democratic party officials in Maine. As Mrs. Davis stepped down from the car she was presented with a large bouquet of roses by Mrs. Phillip Howard, one of the organizers of the Democratic women of Maine. The nominee remained at Rockland for ten minutes before going to the ferry slip for the long ride across the bay to Dark Harbor. Polk Goes Part of Way, Before going on board the steamer Mr. Davis shook hands and thanked A. T. Walker, engineer of the Maine Central locomotive which brought the train from Portland. He was greeted by the captain of the steamer, and at the latter’s invitation the nominee and Mrs. Davis occupied chairs in the pilot house. Frank L. Polk, undersecretary ot state in the Wilson administration, who accompanied Mr. Davis to Dark Harbor, remained on deck. Mr. Tolk joined Mrs. Polk and their chil- {ren at their Summer home, in Isles- oro. While at a e Seven Hundred Acre Island Mr. Davis will confer with William A. Pattangall, Democratic candidate for governor of Maine, but he ha¥ no other engagements. He hias left to his campaign manage: <Clem L. Shaver, the task of perfect. ing the organization of the cam- paign and expects this work to be practically completed when he re- turns to New York at the end of this month. Address Will Be Brief. Tha nominee said today that he Thoped to make his address of ac- ceptance comparatively brief and that it would be his purpose to make short speeches during the campalgn. He has not mapped out his cam- raign program but will make a number of trips to various parts of the country. In greeting the crowd which met his train at Bath he expressed the hope that he would have the oppor- tunity later to speak to the people of Maine face to face rather than through the means of the radio. Dispatches that Charles Dana Gib- son was ill and would have to be sent to a hospital for an operation caused Mr. Davis distress and he was greatly relieved to find that his host was able to carry on. Mr. Gibson is suffering from ‘an abscess which, while painful, is not serious. McADOO CLUBS IN LINE. Pre-Convention Organizations Give Support to Davis.

In some quarters it has been suggested that Mr. Davis himself made the selection, but the most re- liable version is that Mr. Davis de- clined the suggestion that he choose his running mate, whereupon the “old guard” took the case in their own hands and picked Charles W. an for his brothet's sake. Now, as the reaction from the coun- try is coming to be felt, many Demo- crats fear it was a costly bargain * % x x Republican and Democratic leaders are thoughtfully appraising the pos- sible and potential strength of the La Follette party. It is correct to ay that in both the old party camps the feeling is growing that the La Follette movement is being overrated in its possible effect—this, too, not- withstanding the evidence of support which it is calculated to receive from certain classes of labor, especially the railway vote. * % x % There are 8 States in the La Follette list his managers think he may carry and 17 they “hope” to carry. The deadline list of 8 con- sists of Idaho, Towa, Minnesota, Mon- tana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin * % % x Representative Addison T. Smith of Idaho, vice chairman of the Republi- can congressional committee, takes acute issue with the claims of the La Follette managers. enator La Follette may carry Wisconsin and Minnesota, but in my judgment none of the other states Which his friends are claiming for him will give him their electoral votes,” he said. “The progressive Democrats who are dissatisfied with the candidacy of Mr. Davis will doubt- less vote for Senator La Follette and the Progressive candidates for Con- gress, which will make it unlikely that Mr. Davis will carry any of the Northern states, and if it appears likely that Mr. La Follette is making alarming progress, thousands of con- servative Democrats will cast their vote for President Coolidge in order to prevent the success of Senator La Follette. “While the element which is dis- satisfied with existing conditions may be large in many of the states the American voter must be convinced that a new party must have some- thing definite to offer, which promises an improvement in conditions, before turning the country over to those who would experiment in_untried policies. In my judgment President Coolidge will ‘carry all the states which cast_their electoral vote for President Harding, with very few exceptions. * k% % “The political writers who are plac- ing Idaho in the Democratic column or certain to cast her electoral vote for Senator'La Follette are certainly 4 unfamiliar with the political condi- tions in the State” ocontinued Mr. Smith. “The late President Harding carried Tdaho with the majority of 42,396 out of a total vote of 135,554, and the independent candidate for governor in 1920 received 28,752 In 1922 the Independent candidate for governor received 40,516 out of a total of 127,864. It does not appear rea- sonable, therefore, to assume that there is any probability of Mr. Davis or Senator La Follette receiving the electoral vote in Idaho. - “The great mass of people in Idaho believe in the protective tariff policy of the Republican party, as the prin- cipal industries in the State—wool growing, dairying, sugar beet grow- ing, lead mining and the raising of potatoes and beans—cannot survive without the benefits of the protective tariff. It is not likely, therefore, that the protective tariff policy of the Re- publican party will be repudiated and a majority of the voters support can- didates who are indifferent or an- tagonistic to the importance of pro- tecting the products of the farm by a reasonable duty. While it is true that the farmers in Idaho and other agricultural States have been con- Qucting their activities at a loss, they are shrewd enough to know that but for the benefits of the protective tariff on agricultural products the prices they are receiving would be much less than at present.” * ¥ ¥ X At this day and hour, the most po- tential campaign factor at work in the behalf of the Republicans is one for which they are not responsible and over which they have no con- trol—the advancing price of wheat and other grain. Just as last year, the sudden slump in the price of wheat contributed to the loss of a Republican Senator in Minnesota, so the unexpected increase in the price of wheat is calculated to ald the Re- publicans by dissipating the ad- mitted discontent of the farmer. * * x X Hearty indorsement of a resolution recently adopted by the New York Non-Partisan National Convention Committee, of which Joseph P. Day is chairman, to get the Republican national convention for New York City in 1928 was given on Friday by the Hotel Association of New York City, which body has gone on record as strongly supporting all move- ments that will spread the fame of the metropolis as a mecca’ of hos- pitality. Confident that they set an example_in the treatment of visitors to the Democratic national conven- tion of “which any city might be proud, New York hotel men, irrespec- tive offparty, will stand united to bring the next Republican national convention to that city.

La Fol- lette for the presidency and ap- pointed a committee to attend a con- vention of the People’s party and mass meeting here on August 3 in the interest of La Follette's candidacy. This is the first time in history that the local federation his indorsed a candidate for political office, and as the unions affiliated with the federa- tion have a membership of more than 50,000 in Baltimore alone, politicians generally are beginning to note with alarm the rapid growth of La Fol- lette clubs throughout the state. The resolution indorsing the Wis- consin senator was passed unani- mously and an invitation has been extended to Senator La Follette to speak here on Labor day. Should he accept arrangements will be made to broadcast his speech Has Old Parties Worried. Both Republicans and Democrats | are hearing more talk of La Follette than they like and while it is rather early to say how much of a factor the Wisconsin Progressive will prove in this conservative state, it is gen- erally recognized his candidacy has aroused much interest. Leaders of the La Follette party here say that a vigorous campaign to carry Maryland will be made, and that the mass meeting on August 3 will be attended by representatives of every labor, farm, socialist and other progressive political organiza- tion in the state. In addition to nam- ing of state committee, adopting ways and means of raising funds for the campaign and preparing the various political units which are supporting La Follette, a slate of eight presi- dential electors will be named. Tickets of both the Republican and Democratic parties in Maryland are still incomplete, each lacking a can- didate for the House of Representa- tives. Democratic leaders are beat- ing the bushes in the third congres- sional district in an effort to get some one to defeat Representative John Philip Hill, but so far without much success.

M ate Democratio leaders foresee a hard time in_ carrying Maryland for the Davis and Bryan ticket.” With an aggressive and united campaign they think they can turn the trick, but they admit it means work.

Will Seek Funds. As preliminary to the raising of a campaign fund, it was determined that the conference should select a financial | committee for the parpose of obtaining contributions from organizations and individuals afliliated with the confer- ence. The La Follette for President committee will organize to solicit funds from the general public, the money raised by both organizations to be turned over to the joint executive com- mittee for expenditure. While no decision was reached as | to the personnel of the various com- | mittees, it was understood that Henry | H. Rosenfelt of New York probably | would be financial director for the | conference organization and Attorney General Herman L. Ekern of Wisconsin in charge of financial operations for the La Follette for President com- mittee. The national committee of the Con- ference for Progressive Political Action concluded its two-day confer- ence last night with a session devoted to_routine business. Meanwhile a rally in the interest of | the La Follette-Wheeler ticket was| held at ldlewood, Va., a suburb. Sen- ator Frazler of North Dakota, who has come out in favor of La Follette, was listed among the speakers. Sen- ator Wheeler was to have addressed the meeting, but canceled the engage- ment, explaining that he would not launch his speaking campaign for several weeks. Conatders Acceptance Duty. Senator Wheeler's statement follows: “After careful consideration 1 have concluded to accept the honor your committee so generously conferred on me by tendering to me the nomi- nation for Vice President as the run- niMg mate of Hon. Robert M. La Fol- lette, candidate for President of the United States. ‘I have had no desire, you know, to become a candidate for any office in the approaching election, but nave decided that it is my duty to accept your call because it appears to me that by so doing I can best serve the highest interests of the American people. “I regret exceedingly that the Dem- ocratic_ party in the recent national convention in New York so complete- 1y lost sight of the fundamental prin- ciples of democracy and ignored the great economic issues of the present hour. It has wantonly abandoned an opportunity for great public service that never before was so clearly within its reach and so certain to lead to success. “While the farmers of the entire nation are facing bankruptcy, labor unemployed, business depressed and a large majority of our citizens suf- tering trom sinister exploitation, the Republican and Democratic parties in convention ignored the call of the un- organized millions who are the vic- tims of the present economlc disor- ders and chose leaders whose train- ing, whose sympathies and whose social and political association are with the great predatory interests, Raps Choice of Davis. “Every Democratic leader in and out of Congress has proclaimed the Democratic Party free from the taint of Wall Street and has blamed with some degree of truth, the financial in- terests there, but whose ramifications extend far beyond, for the corruption in the Republican administration and for the discriminatory legislation against the common people of Amer- jca. What are the people to think when these same men in convention assembled, select as the standard bearer of their party an attorney who represents these interests, who lives and associates with them, and who typifies all that big business stands for, just as much and just as truly as does the Republican nominee. Can’t Support Regulars. “In this situation, I find myselt unable to support either the Repub- lican candidates. who frankly admit thelr reactionary standpat policy. or the Democratic candidate. who may claim in_well chosen phrases that ne is a progressive, but whose training and constant association belie any such pretension. “Between Davis and Coolidge there is only a cholce for conservatives to make. The uRcontrolled, liberal and progressive forces must look else- where for leaders. “This is a time when every one who claims to be a progressive must show his calors. must support the candi- daay of Robert M. La Follette and the genuinely progressive program, or else forever disclaim any pretense to progressive political action. It is our duty to our country to give to the progressive and liberal forces of this Nation an opportunity to expre: themselves in the coming election, between Coolidge and Davis they are distranchised. Sees Issues Clear. “The 1ssues before the people were never more pronounced—the cleav enator Robert M. La Follette. is clear cut. The Republican and Democratic parties deliberately and solemnly chose the path of indiffer- ence toward. if mot support of. the orivileged interests. No one except those who believe in a_government of special Interests can vote for the presidential nominee on either the Republican or Democratic national tickets. people of the nation, irrespective party affiliation, who honestly believe in clean government, in the enforce- ment of the law against the privi- leged class as well as against the common_offender; those who believe in the prosecution of the profiteer and those guilty of corruption in high those who still hold to the 1 principles and personal of Jefferson and Lincoln, must needs find a political abiding place outside of the two old parties as they are constituted and managed today. of Still Remains Democrat. “In accepting this call, 1 do not abandon my faith in the democracy | of Thomas Jefferson. 1 am a Demo- crat, but not a Wall street Demo- crat. I shall give my support and whatever influence I may possess to those candidates for ofice who have proved their fidelity to the interests of the people wherever they may be found, but I shall oppose every man on whatever ticket he may ap pear who bears the brand of the dol- lar_sign. = “Believing as T do, that the presi- dential candidates selected by the Democratic and Republican parties for 1924, will be unable if elected to serve the best interests of the people of the United States, 1 therefore ac- cept the call of your committee and | shall do my best to help make thi my country, safe for democracy.” La Follette Is Pleased. The La Follette statement follows: “The indorsement of Senator Bur- ton K. Wheeler as candidate for Vice President on the independent pro- gressive ticket by the Conference for Progressive Political Action, and his acceptance of the nomination, is as gratifying to me personally as it will be to millions of progressive voters throughout the country. “Burton K. Wheeler is a man of courage, integrity, ability and pa- triotism. He has never faltered or turned back. In the struggle against privilege he has ever been in the front rank of the people’s army. In him progressives find a leadership in which® they repose complete con- fidence. Calls Democrats Leaderless. “The recent national convention of the Democratic party outraged the sentiments and disappointed the hopes of the rank and file of that party. It left millions of Democrats without leadership in _their own party. Senator Wheeler has supplied this leadership, not only for pro- gressive Democrats, but for inde- pendent citizens unidentified with any political organization. “Senator Wheeler was the first and tho unanimous choice of the commit- tee empowered by the recent pro- gressive conference to indorse an independent progressive candidate for Vice President. To my knowl- edge, he was the only progressive to whom this indorsement was offered. “As a son of New England, he comes from that sturdy stock which fought for American freedom, as we are fighting for it today. Combining with this heritage the vision and courageous accomplishments of the ‘West, Senator Wheeler will appeal every section of the country as a truly representative American. Asg Federal district attorney and Uniteq States Senator. his achievements have won for him the respect and the confidence of the masses. His candidacy ~ will add tremendous strength to the progressive ticket in every State in the Union.” LAY LINES IN OHIO. Backers to Meet in Cleveland and Cincinnati. .

La Follette supporters within the federation are ealking a resolution, which, while failing to put the or- ganization on recftd as an adjunct to any political party, would recom- mend to the members as individuals the friendliness La Follette has al- ways displayed to labor as indicative that his candidacy offered “the great- est hopes for the attainment legitimate political aspirations of or- ganized labo Gompers May Oppose It. There is no doubt that conservative members of the executive committe: led by President Samuel Gompers, will oppose any such program. Never. theless the radicals persist that it is their intention to pin the union label on the Wisconsin senator. They declare they will have the support of the four railroud brother- hoods and that these will be jc by twelve other railroad labor un whose members were disapp when McAdoo was turned down. They plan 1o have the executive commit- tee prepare a statement contrasting the labor planks adopted by the three parties, and indorsing the most rad- ical of the three. Sees Chance in 14 States Julius Gerber, secretary of the New York City Socialists, declared today the combined vote of Roosevelt and Debs in 1912 showed that La Follette, if he polied their strength, would have a nucleus of 14 states on which he might depend.
