THE EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1924 : i SEMI-ANNUAL CLEARANCE DAVIS T0 ATTACK HONESTY OF €. 0.P. Wil Also Assail Foreign Poli- gies in Notification Address 1 at Clarksburg. By the Associated Press. DARK HARBOR, Islesboro, Me., July 30.—After two weeks in the Peace and quiet of the Penobscot Bay Islands, John W. Davis, Democratic presidential nominee, will start back to New York late today to begin the drive that is to carry his political fortunes into the November elections. In his pocket Is the draft of his ac- ceptance address, the product of his labors in Maine, and his all-impor- tant utterances of the campaign. It will be delivered ten days hence at Clarksburg, probably from the ve- randa of the Davis homestead, where his sister now resides. While em- bodied in it will be a discussion of , many issues, the speech’s central theme will be “honesty in govern- ment,” the 1924 battle cry of the Democratic party. Will Assall G. 0. P. The nominee will assail the record of the Republican administration as disclosed in Scnate Investigations and will attack President .Coolidge and other Republican leaders for what the Democrats have charged was their reluctance In permitting the full flow of the inquiries and in acting upon the information devel- oped. Next in importance will be the dis- cussion of foreign affairs. Here again, his friends say, the Democratic can- didate will attack the record of the Harding-Coolidge administration. Of little less import will be the dis- cussion of agricultural relief. Mr. Davis is described by those who are most intimately acquired with his ideas as inclined to be very liberal in the treatment of the subject and they would not be surprised if he goes a step further than does the . Democratic platform. Attitude on Farm Plank. The candidate is known to regard that section of the farm plank re- ferring to the restoration of the for- eign markets for American farm products as somewhat vague. He be- Ueves a specific means of accomplish- ing this end should be set before the country. As it is in the platform, the Ku Klux Klan issue probably will be dealt with generally under the sub- ject of religious liberty. So far as the Democratic ranks themselves are concerned this is regarded by many party leaders as one of the most deli- cate of the many subjects to be treated. Taxation and tariff will be other major topics of the address. Other subjects taken up in the platform are likely to be dealt with in a rather general way with their development left to the time when Mr. Davis will plead his cause face to face with the voters in many States.
