SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 20.
Addressing a crowd of several
thousand in an open air meeting
here - this afternoon, John W.
Davis, the democratic standard
bearer, asserted today that the
country had been traveling on the
road , of privilege for ;the past
three and 'a half years, a road
leading to a high tariff, behind

r Declaring that 4 the democratic
party had traveled the other road
of equal rights for 130 years,' Mr,
Davis said it would continue to
travel that road, a road where all
men high or low, will be treated
alike. f ''
"There are those in this coun
try," he said, "who believe that
the greatest public service is to
keep cool."
He added that they wanted to
keep cool even in the face of Buch
scandals as those of. the squand
ering of the naval ' reserves and
the corruption In the veterans
bureau. f
"When faithful public servants
uncovered these affairs,' Davis
added, H'there was no burning re

forever 'keeping "cool."- "'
Referring to the sugar tariff.
Mr. Davis said there was an' effort
to "keep cool" on the recommen
dation of the tariff commission
for a revision which would save
the American .people $145,000 'a
day.

The democratic nominee also
said there was a desire o "keep
