Davis, demo-crntic candidate for president, charged that the last three and one half years of republican adminia-trttion hud produced the "third party" and offered with the help of a democratic congress to remedy "the diseuse which had brought it about." Mr. Davis also pledged in the name of democracy to give relief to tho farmers of the country; to bring about a thorough house cleaning of the Washington government, to put an end to bureaucracies and install a government based on a sane, forward looking Bnd progressive liberulism.

Referring to conditions which he declared were responsible for the creation of the independent purfy, Mr. Davis said: 'Three and one half years of power by the Harding Cooliilyro administration has produced this radical third party which our re-publican friends complain split the republican party, hey aroused the American people and have given the opportunity for men to offer new and strange doctrines and urge them in people as the cure for all their ills. Will you seek to cure the patient by giving him an injection of the same virus that produced his diseaso? "Suppose you renew the commissions of the men that have abused official power; that have surrendered themselves and their country to privilege; that have exhibited before tho American people and the world their own impotence to take any forward step in the public interest. Do you think you will quiet radicalism by that? Do you think it will still the discontent in the United States by that? Will you allay the vast unrest which unquestionably pervades today the American people by giving them, over again, the siimc condition that aroused them? hy, to ask the question, is to answer It. What will you do as patriots and as Americans? Is there no relief? I stand here to offer one.

"In the name of democracy I effer you a sane, forward looking and a progressive liberalism that knows no class or section, no petted favorite that believes it not the business of those in office either to give favors to their friends or to official power to punish their personal enemies; but to so administer the affairs o' this government that every man, whether he be a laborer, or farmer or business man or what not, may feel that he is an equal citizen resting under equal laws ANGLE that at the recent bankers convention at Chicago trust companies and nnlionul bunks had been requested to contribute a percentage of their capital "to fight LaFolIette" in the southwest, north-west and west.
