" dresses BREVITY IS GOAL - INDAVIS' SPEECH D&hocratic Nominee Seeks td Make His Acceptance Ad- dress Shortest on Record. By fe Associated Press. I]ARK HARBOR, ISLEBORO, Maine, July A precedent in brevity is the goal of John W. Davis in the preparation of his address accepting the Democratic presidential nomina- ton. His idea now is to cover the field mederally, with emphasis on the more important issues of the day, such as honesty in government, foreign af- fairs, taxes, and tariff and farm re- lief. The occasion requires the di cussion of so many different subjects that Mr. Davis cannot make his speech as brief as he would like. While he has not determined final- upon even the framework, his Present intention is to confine the Whole discussion to approximately 4.000 words, which would require about 40 minutes in delivery.

But. reverting to the performance, don’t imagine that De Wolf Hopper is not_very much in “Pirates zance,” for he is, as a geant of the constabulary, dulges in a sympathetic and melodi- ous philosophy on the burglar and the cutthroat, when not profession- ally_occupied. which does the heart good. The conquest by himself and his gallant band of bluecoats of the real pirates is one of the most ex- quisite bits of humor in the opera.
