."The Hon. Josephus Daniels, Nation

who has accompanied Mr.. Bryan on

ssMr. Daniels is confident that North
Carolina will cast her vote for Bryan
doubly so, since the Democratic, Pop

upon a division of electors, thereby
concentrating the entire vote for silver.

be constantly reminded by it that the
