West Virginia Urges John W. Davis for President
The Charleston Gazette outlines strong support for John W. Davis as a Democratic candidate, praising his congressional record, solicitor general tenure, and service as ambassador to Great Britain. It argues his duty-driven character and independence from corporate influence would benefit West Virginia and the nation, while noting his potential as a unifying party figure at Cleveland. The piece also reflects on Davis's courtroom and legislative prowess and urges readiness to present his name when the time comes. It also includes a light pastoral digression on golf as a wholesome pastime and its social value.
