It has gone out that the Republicans
are already at work trying to formulate
some plan whereby they may iabricate
charges against Hon. F. II. Simmons
which will prevent him from serving
in the United States Senate as Buffers
successor, should he be elected. They
will try to show, it is said, that Mr..
Simmons carried the August election
in this State by fraud. They will
never show 1t. It is only trumped-up
affair to try to lntimidate Mr.. Sim
mons: but 1t does seem that the Re
publican party in North Carolina has
had experience enough with Mr.. Sim
mons to know by this time that ne Is
not one of the kind to be intimidated.
He ia one of the bravest and most lear
,e.s men In the State, whether apply
ing it politically Or personally; and
nothing the Republicans can do Will
have any effect upon his course OF his
chances for seat in the Senate
The COMMONWEALTH believes 'hat
be is the logical candidate tor the place
and the people of North Carolina Will
oo themselves honor by sending him
- tho Senate. We believe his claims
are far and away ahead of all other as
plrants.

EDIT0R HOWELL ON BRYAN.

laDta Constitution. is inclin-
ed to differ slightly With Mr..

".Thereis nj democrat today

There is no leader who so
completely and clearly rep
resents the masses of the dem
ocratic voters. There is no
mai, even among the repub-
licans, whose movements at
tract SO much attention or
larger crowds without re-
gard to party. To substi-
tute for the leader Of the peo-
pie any other democrat at
this time would mean GER
tain defeats; to substitute d
gold democrat would mean
the annihilation Of the pres.
e n t democratic organiza-
ton" Any man, o r any
newspaper, who seeks to de-
feat the nomination of Mr..
Bryan for the presidency is
doing the party to which he
processes to belong an injury.
Mr.. Bryan can get more
votes today, next week or,
next year than any other
man in the democratic par
ty. He stands for democrat.
ic principles, and the effort
to side-track him is simply
the work Of enemies to the
democratic party in this

siah Patterson had then
way, the republic would be
changed to a monarchy at

A Letter from Zlonville, N. G.


In a recent issue OF the Sou.
tharn Baptist is q statement
is made by the editor of that
paper, that the present edit
or Of the DEMOCRAT has not
treated the Baptist people
OF Watauga county fairly be
cause he has refused to pub
lish fhe proceedings of their
meetings, or that is at least
the impression | gather from
the Southern Baptist. l haye
not the copy before me, there
lore / cannot quote the ex.
act language.
| think the editor uf the
Southern Baptist has b e e n
misinformed about the mat
ter, as he spent some time In
our county this fall, and no
doubt received his informa-
tion while here. Now, it is
probable that the editor Of
the Southern Baptist was not
to blame IN the matter, but
that his informer was mista.
ken.
1t is quite probable that
the censure grew out of an &C
cident that occurred some
years ago. The program or
proceedings ola Fifth Sunday
meeting were sent to the edi-
tor OF the DEMOCRAT with a
request to publish, and un.
fortunately the proceedings
were lost, and as a conse-
quence they did not appear,
although the editor wrote to
the clerk to rewrite them.
Asfaras my personal know
edge extends, Mr.. Rivers, the
editor of the DEMOCRAT, has
treated the Baptist people
fairly, and, indeed | have evi
dence as pastor of the Boone
Baptist church where Mr.. Riv
ers lives and works, that he
is their friend.
| think the editor OF t h e
DEMOCRAT is a man of good
judgement, and of course he
could not afford to slight or
'nistreat the people who help
him in his chosen work by Ia
king and reading his paper.
Again, my connection and &C
quain,ance with him has sat
isfed me that he is a gentle
man, and as such, he woula
not mistreat a very large per
cent of the citizens ofhis own
county.
1t is true that the DEMO
GRAFT has made prominent the
work OF the Methodist minis.
ter, but it should be remem-
bered that the Methodist
preacher lives in Boone and
has a better opportunity to
let his work and plans be
known TO the public through
the DEMOCRAT. | am persua-
ded that il the Baptist prea-
cher lived at Boone he would
be accorded the same privi-
lege by the editor.
] think as citizens OF Wa
tauga county we should all
take an interest in our coun-
ty paper, though We may not
agree with it's policy in every
particular. | have q high per
sonal esteem for the editor,
and have no cause to com.
PLAIN atany treatment / have
received from the DEMOCRAT,
but thank the paper for its
