FORMALLY
NOTIFIED
Thousands Gather at
Clarksburg to Hear
Davis’ Acceptance.
Clarksburg, W. Va., Aug. 11.
— Accompanied by the plaudits
of thousands of party leaders,
gathered from all parts of the
country. John \V. Davis tonight
formally accepted the demo
■ eratio nomination for president.
Davis’ speech of acceptance,
delivered in the open at the golf
; nlacu, was a,solemn pledge to do
• all hr his power to lead his party
1 to victory] He assailed the re
publican party - at the outset,
saying:
“I charge the republican party
with corruption in office, and I
charge it also with favoritism in
legislation. I do more—I charge
it with the grossest form of leg
islation, which gives to him who
hates and takes away from him
who hates not. To use the power
of legislation purposely to enrich
one tnan or one set of men at the
expense of others is robbery on
a large scale, though done under
the forms of law. In the age of
the Fordney-McCumber tariff
act, imposing the highest rates
and duties in the tariff history
of the nation, there was an un
blushing return to the evil days
of rewarding party support and
political contributions with leg
islative favors.”
