BRYAN'S PLANS FOR
 CAMPAIGN OF 1904.
Intimated to Friends He Would Like Craftsmanship of National

New Haven. Conn, Special to N. Y.
 World.
 To friends in this city, before his depar- ture for Europe, William Jennings Bryan confided his plans for the carrying out of the purposes of the late Philo s. Ben nett, whose will left him S50,00O to be ex- pended for charitable and educational purposes, and also his plans for the open ing of the campaign of 1904 for the mem bers of the Democratic Party who look to him as leader
 MT. Bryan intends to speak in St. Louis on Jackson Day, January S. He will speak in Indiana the following night, and on January Il will come to this city where he will attend meeting of the New England members of the National Democratic Committee and other leading democrats including Governor Garvin of Rhode Island.
 MT. Bryan said that he intends to have a discussion at this conference of the best methods to be pursued in New England 10 arouse the Democratic masses. The members of the National Democratic Committee to be invited are Frederick w Plaisted of Maine, True E. Norris of New Hampshire, eX-Mayor Senter of Montpe- Her, Vt; George Fred Williams of Bos- ton; George W. Greene of Rhode Island, and Homer s. Cummings of Connecticut
 During the outlining of his plans to friends here, Mir. Bryan is known to have stated that he could conceive of no cir cumstances which would lead him to be- come candidate for the Democratic nom nation for the Presidency but intimated that if he were asked to accept the chair manship of the National Committee hc would not decline to do so. though he should not solicit the position.
 During the conversation Mir Bryan stated emphatically that it would be necessary to select a candidate for the Presidency who was loyal to the princi- pies of 1900 and 1896.
 MT. Bryan's plan. his friends say. in cludes the organization of Democratic clubs in every State in the Union. It Is probable that the gathering in this city will include a monster mass-meeting or banquet. at which Mir. Bryan will speak on '"The Conscience Campaign"

To Organize Music Lovers.

Montgomery has long been in need of musical organization" said a well known music lover and prominent man. "Seve- ral attempts have been made to this end'' he continued, but always some factional feeling between professional musicians, members of the organization, have inter ferred with the success of the project
 l understand, however, that a movement Is on foot to organize the music lovers and musicians of Montgomery, to be com posed as nearly as possible of amateurs under the direction of some skillful pro- fessional. The Idea is to have Mont gomery Choral Society. paying exclusive attention to the cultivation of the voice.
 If the plan on foot is successful, I think there will be little doubt that when Harold Bauer and musicians of his known standard appear in Montgomery at a nominal price, he will be In the future greeted by larger audiences. Then, there Is great deal of pleasure and profit to be gained by an organization of this character. I think that a definite an- nouncement of the perfection of the organization will be made in few days"

SPRUNG A NEW ONE

Tneyve got em again, or rather they think they have. and in a new form. We allude to microbes. of course. for they may always be depended on to furnish a sensation. It all comes about because of the belief that stampinslthe feet and clapping the hands is bad form when applause is in order. These methods of applause were cut out and what was denominated the 'Chautauqua saintw" was adopted, which consisted in waving the handkerchief instead of the old and noisy fashion of making as much noise as pos- sible with hands and feet. But now comes some sort of woman's assemblage at Cincinnati and declares that waving handkerchief in a crowded room is dan- gerous because of the fact that each wave iiberates colony of microbes hungry and ferocious, ready to spread disease and death in al the adjacent atmosphere
 Wouldn't that jar you? If anything could be considered free from harm, ex- cept when used as a signal, We should have thought that thing was one of the dainty combinations of lace, embroidery. r--SAANSAesAN rtA2 p1hipuS aCCeSSOT1eS, with it's costly perfumes, which ladies sometimes display on special occasions.
 We had no thought that an indictment would lie against these dreamy accesso- ries of female adornment, but that was because we didn't know it all. In fact, We are almost ready to admit that We don't know anything about microbes.
 However that may be, science has been poking her nose in public assemblages of ladies and has decreed that handker- chief is but little safer than a charge of dynamite. When hundreds of them are waved in unison they are almost as ter rfble as an army with banners" and may turn loose on an unoffending pubic enough deadly germs to depopulate hos- pital Perhaps science is right, because we lay fellows must accept her decrees and govern ourselves accordingly If she says that breathing in public will dis seminate microbes, We must quit breath ing in public or take the consequences. So. if waving a handkerchief spreads dis- ease, the ladies must quit waving or bs quarantined The safety of the public must not be jeopardized by the Chautau- qua salute, or any other old kind of sa- lute. What next?

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER se, 1908.
A DA,- no pE THANKFUL.

This is the day when we rest, eat tur- key and feel thankful. If we have no time to rest, we will rest as much as we what we can get and be thankful any way. If we can't be as thankful as we ought. we must be as thankful as we can. It is a day to be observed all over the country, and in Cuba and Guam and Chi cago and other foreign parts. We must be thankful that our strenuous President hasn't annexed Turkey and Kamschatka and Newfoundland. and that he doesn't want to dig a canal from Cape Horn to Key West We have a right to feel thankful for many things that. have not happened.
 Seriously, though, we have many causes and reasons for thankfulness. If we are not actually at peace with all mankind, we at least have no devastating wars in our own States and at our own doors. We have had a reasonably prosperous year, there have been no great catas- trophes in our own domains, and no great epidemic has depopulated our country. The crops have been good and there can be no fear of famine or suffering among the people at home. If we have not all and everything we could desire, we are In better material condition than almost any other nation or people on earth. We can, for one day. forget the petty trials and worries of life and rejoice that it is as well with us as 1t is.
 There will be many ways of observing the day. Some will make of 1t a day of registering and frolic and all kinds of sensual pleasures, contrary to the intent and spirit of the day. Others will attend the various places of worship where they can devoutly give thanks to the Giver of all good. and join in the true spirit and action of thankfulness to God for all that He has done for us. And still others will make of 1t a day of absolute rest and quiet forgetting for a time the cares anI crosses of life and rejoicing over the good that has come to them. It is a day when. if possible, all the family should gather in the home and rejoice together, but whether united or separated, whether at home or abroad. whether rich or poor, each and all can find some cause of grati- tude and some reason to thank God that we are yet spared to the work allotted us and to do some good for mankind.
 May all The Advertisers readers enjoy the day and be better for 1t!

Lack of Industrial Enterprise.

buI TOlI- 70. Bree2e.
 There are several causes for the lack of industrial enterprise In the South. Among them may be mentioned the tenant sys- tenn or farming. The ease with which the large land owners get returns from their investment in rents. secured by a first mortgage on crops, makes them indiffet- ent If not actually averse to investments in industrial enterprises. ehout whic, they know nothing. Most of the surplus wealth of the South is in the hands of this class of men.

 Senator Hanna's boom for the Republi- can nomination for presidency has been started in the South through the mails and hundreds of circulars and newspaper clippings have been received. The circu- lars do not state who is at the head of the Hanna mail bureau, but local Repub- licans think they are party leaders who are hostile to Roosevelt
 The literature received here was mailed from Cincinnati and Cleveland, and the clippings tell of the great service Hanna has rendered the party, while the circu- lars recite that the Senator has declared that he is not a candidate for the nomi- nation but that no man h7- eve- -HF',- ! q nomination made by convention.

The Poor on Thankgeivinp.

Tomorrow, will be cheerless for the poor of Montgomery" said Gladden. liar rison, Secretary of the Organized Chari- ties unless the charitably disposed per- sons of the city give them individual aid. We have done all we can with the limited means at our disposal. I know of at least two widows with children who are in a desperate condition. Each of them are in bed i'll of an ipcurable disease and their children are without the ordinary necessities of life.

Raymonds Washington Special to Chi
 cago Chronicle.
 In view of the approaching meeting of the National Committee to fix time and place for holding the Republican Conven- tion, there has been a general interchange of views among the political leaders, and particularly so because members of Con gress have been anxious to get at the drift of public sentiment in sections of the country remote from their own. It is impossible to find any level headed poii tician in either party who has the slight est doubt about the nomination of Theo- dore Roosevelt without opposition. There is good deal of curiosity, however, to find out just who is behind the constantly re- curing talk of the possibility of the nomination of Senator Hanna. Runners alleged to be confidential have been cir culated in Washington within the last month to the effect that an organized movement has been set on foot in the interest of Senator Hanna, and for the express purpose of throwing Roosevelt; It has been alleged with much detail that the plot originated in Wall Street, and that the sole purpose of the ohio cam paign was to roll up a majority to large as to put Senator Hanna in the center or

NEXT YEAR,s ELECTroN.

The subcommittee of the Democratic State Committee has reached a wise con clusion and what it recommends to the full committee will no doubt be adopted at the meeting in January.
 The fact that if a primary is held be- fore the 1st of July a large number of men who have not registered will be de- barred from participation in the primary makes it absolutely necessary that it be held not earlier than the 1st of August next Even a month later than that would give ample time, before the cleo tion. for a canvass.
 Primaries are expensive, and for the selection of delegates to the National Convention. and Presidential electors, d State Convention will be generally &C., cepted as better than holding two prima ries. The National Committee will meet at an early date and name time and place for the nominating convention.
