Mr. Whelan has written a song, that is
applicable TO this campaign, and will
doubtless be extensively sung throughout
the whole country between now and No
vember. The first stanza and the chorus
are as follows:
"As the glorious incarnation of the Dem

AS the friend of law and order and the
foe of selfish greed,
with the courage of a leader who is not
afraid to lead
Stands William Jennings Bryan, of Ne

When Aycock's Going to Speak.

(Goldsboro Argus.) 4
The people talk of nothing else,
Fer a solid live long week,
But getting ready for the meeting,
When Aycocks going to speak.
They crowd the cars and steamboats,,
And the footlcgs cross the creek
All hurrying up to get there,
When Aycock's going to speak.
They come sliding down the mountains,
From the very highest peak,
Like Indians at a war dance
When Aycock's going to speak.
They come travelling through the forest,
Till they leave a greasy streak,
The great white hosts all get there,
When Aycocks going to speak.
They gather as if by magic,
Just rise up so to speak,
And cover the ground by acres,
When Aycock's going to speak.
And close up around the altar,
Is the place that each one seeks,
They know they are getting straight
goods.
