Speech of Walsh Fails to Excite Democrats Here Refuse to Be Quoted on Their Reaction to No tification Address Monday. Opnaha democrats are reticent over expressing fulsome praise of the no tification address of United States Senator Thomas J. Walsh Monday. Some stated they had not even read the ppeech, others asked for time in which to formulate some expression and some merely dismissed the sub ject with the statement that Senator Walsh ‘‘knows his stuff,” and that the address was "the right word, at the right time and at the right place." One democrat, whose name would be recognized by many, declined the use (ft his name when asked for a statement for publication. Clarified Waters. ‘‘Walsh,’’ he said, "merely clarified the waters Und informed those who do not understand or who do not think in a! straight line. The trouble with many of us is that wo do not think stralghtly.” Hugh A. Meyers, republican, said: "Senator Walsh apologizes too much tor Davis. His speech reminds me of i pleading by attorney for the de fense,” "It is evident to the fair-minded reaxfer of Walsh's speech that t$e Montana senator just thought it was necessary to do a lot of explaining and apologizing for John W. Davis," / said' Robert S. Druesedow. "Prob ably Senator Walsh knows why it was,necessary to explain so much.” W. J. Bryan Required Defense. Wl|llam M. Burton said: "In view of W. J. Bryan's published criticism of John W. Davis prior to the latter's noqtfpatlon, and of the oft-repeated and Utterly false claim of the demo crats that they have a monopoly of nattahal progressive principles, I am not at all surprised that Senator Walah should devote approximately one-half of his notification address to a defense of Mr. Davis. But the people cannot be fooled. “As the campaign progresses we shall learn more and more of the splendid record, ability and Banely prqgtesslve principles of President Coolldge." • L. J. TePoel, democrat, eald: "Senator Walsh showed the same master mind he showed during the oil investigation last winter." Judge Ben S. Baker rises to re mark: "Senator Walsh Indicts Mr. Davis of Intimate associations with the obnoxious big interests and then makds a weak defense for him. The people will accept this indictment as true and will pass upon the defense made by Senator Walsh In the ballot box." * “Weakness Never Apparent.’’ Lloyd Maguey, democrat: “I am further convinced of the sound poli tical judgment ot Senator Walsh. He has devoted the major part of hia speech to the weakness which has ever been apparent in the candidacy of Mr. Davis, the fact that he rep resented large corporate interests a rut that, hence, he may be presumed to look at our national affairs from their point of view. "X am sure auch an Idea will be en tirely removed from the mind of any fair person who will read Senator Walsh's speech." Clear, Strong Statement. I. J. Dunn, attorney: "It was fine I think it Is a clear, strong statement not only of the fundamental prlnc-i- | pies of the democratic party, but also of the attitude on present-day condi tions. It shows clearly the differences between the republican and demo cratic parties. His speech covers clearly and comprehensively the Is sues of the coming campaign."
