Few EQUALS in the State as organizers and
conductors OF campaigns. Mr.. Edysons
friends are fond of referring TO the fact
that Lee, Mckinney, O'Ferrall and Tyler
were all defeated of the nomination for

Tribute to GeneraliLec.

True Americans North, as well as
South, will join In hearty support Of the
movement to erect "a monument to Cen
5eral Robert E.. Lee. No one section of
the country can claim to-day the sole
guardianship of the memory of that
grand soldier and man His strong.

to the entire country, East and West
North and South. The example that he
wrote on the page OF history OF a great

field; Of "a citizen, modest and upright.
ard of private gentleman. stainless
and true, Is an example made by an
American, belonging to America. The
President recently expressed a broad

Southern soldiers, and there Is no doubt
that the time has come when all Amert-
cans can unite in a tribute to the fidelity,
