National Affairs: She Knows It

If John W. Davis is elected President of the U. S., he will probably appoint someone to be Minister to Rumania. One cannot identify that hypothetical Minister in advance, but he would have to be a very able diplomat to take up amiable relations with the Rumanian court.

Why ? Because, when John W. Davis was in Chicago last week making a speech to political leaders, he said:

“There is a story that has nothing to do with what I am talking about. As you know, the Queen of Rumania is a very beautiful woman and she knows it. She hasn’t any doubt about it, and there is no reason that she should have.

“She said once: ‘I want to come to America, and the reason is that I want to give my country a face, so that when you think of Rumania you will think of me.’

“Frankly, I want, so far as I can with the two months at my disposal, to give my face to the Democrats of the United States.”
