JOHN B. MIKE.
A Graded Road and Bicycle
Track TO COLLEGE.

In his rounds yesterday the re-
porter met Mr.. John Daily who is
enthusiastic on the subject Of good
roads and bicycles, and who be-
lieves with many others that the
introduction Of wheels in great
numbers will eventually solve the
road problem, and he il CORES
pondingly anxious to push the
good thing along Mr.. Daily said;
"The time has come when Bryan
and College should unite in fixing
up the College road. The best
plan would be to raise a subscrip
ton among the business men OF
Bryan and the people Of College
to grade the College road and throw
up a bicycle path on each side,
with ditches between. all the way
to College. The tracA could easi
ly be made while grading the road
with hardly any additional expense
and TO say that 1t would be a great
thing for Bryan aud College is put
ting il mildly. The College has
the improvement for the work and
there could hardly be any objec.
tion to using the county conyicts
Tor grading one Of the main thor
oughfares which only in a few
places will require any great
amount Of work 10 put il in first
class shape, therefore the expense
OF improvement would be light
compared TO the benefit 10 be de-
rived. | might 90 further and
suggest that as the old electric
light poles are already up along
the road the cost Of lighting il all
the way would not be much. II
such an institution as the College
was anywhere else except in Braz-
Os county it would have had fine
road leading to it years ago

Log FOR Thsm.


WAsHN0ToS. Aug. is.-senator But
Ter Of North Carolina, Chairman Of the
national committee Of the Populiss
party. and other members Of the execu.
tive committee Of that party are here 10
attend the meeting Of the Populist man
ages. Only Ave members Of the eKecu.
tive committee are here. others having
sent letters Of excuse. Il was decided
even before the executive committee
met that the national headquarters
would oe at Washington. and its rooms
will be In the Wormaley's. and adioin-
ing Democratic headquarters. One Of
the interesting matters which will prob
ably b brought up is the vice presidency.
though It Ia known the executive com.
mittee viii listen 10 no proposition look.
ing 10 the withdrawal Of Tom Watson
from the ticket, Senator Butler said II
sewall had stood for what Bryan does
before the people, neither holding the
Populist party organization together,
nor anything else. would have pre-.
vented the nomination Of the whole
Democratic ticket BY the Populis.s. A
IL Is, Sewall dos not represent the Pop.
ulists, and under no circumstances win
they consent TO vote fer him. He thinks
Watson stands . better chance Of being
the next vice president than SewAll.
Another matter 10 be settled BY the
meeting Of the executive committee IL
the notification Of Mr.. Watson. Butler
IL chairman Of the notification commit.
tee. He says nothing definite has been
arranged a. yet. He has been 70 busy
with the affairs Of his own state since
the national convention adjourned he
has had little correspondence with the
members Of the notification committee.
The situation in North Carolina Is very
interesting and was subject 10 several
conferences after the arrival Of Chair.
man Butler.
Joseph Daniels. member Of the
Democratic national committee from
North Carolina. is in the city. having
come here 10 see II an arrangement
could Be made among the party leaders
70 bring about an adjustment Of the diff.
nculties In that state. Mr.. Daniels had
consulted with Chairman Jones and
Butler. IL Is evident Mr.. Daniels felt
the Democratic situation was far from
agreeable and not very promising. while
Mr.. Butler was seemingly satisfied with
the political situation In his own state.
Mr.. Butler said: I'VE can give II cleo.
torl votes 10 Watson. without mention.
ing what else might b done
One Of the Democratic leaders spoke
very positively about the matter. He
said II Mr.. Butler caught the head Of
the Democrats In tight place and could
drive a hard bargain with them, he
would find they would not stand Il, and
would make . straight fight. They did
not propose 10 be bulldoIed into giving
up anything.
The appearance Of Senator Mitchell
Of Wisconsin At the national Democratic
congressional headquarters was an oc.
oaSion for oongrAtulatiOn. Il was An.
nounccd several days ago that Senator
Mitchell would support Bryan. but this
is the first appearance Of the senator at
the committee headquarters, Of which
he is q member. Senator Mitchell has
always been . pronounced goldman.
