Governor Jarvis in Washington.
Washington Post.l


One of the most honored citizens of
North Carolina, Ex-Governor Jarvis.
who was seen at the Riggs House, has
had a unique political career in that
he was twice governor Of his State,
although by the North Carolina consti-
tuition the chief executive is not al
lowed to succeed himself in office
This happened by reason of his filing
out the unexpired term of Hon Zeb
Vance. who was elected to the United
States senate, Jarvis being lieutenant
governor at the time, AT the next
election he was chosen for the full
term. In answer to Post reporters
questions as to his views, Governor
Jarvis said,
There is an encouraging outlook
for the election of a emocratic presi-
dent. If the party We're wise enough
TO do one thing, the matter would
be simple enough, but this will never
be done. Grover Cleveland would be
the next president of the United
States beyond all peradventure if NOM
mated. AS his nomination seems to
be an impossibility the next best thing
is to name Judge Parker. Parker can
carry New York, and that is what
we are looking for since New York
is indispensable to Democratic sue
cess | have not the least doubt that
the North Carolina delegation At St
Louis will give him its. solid vote

Omaha, Neb., May 31.-Democratic
leaders from different parts of the
State began arriving today for the
Democratic State convention which
will be held in this city Wednesday.
Indications are now that William j.
Bryan's friends will completely dom
mate the convention, the county con-
Vention in Douglas county last Satur-
day having eliminated the last hope
of the "re-organizers' to secure re-
cognition. The convention, in addi-
ton to selecting four delegates at large
will name two delegates for each dis.
trict to the national convention and
adopt a platform which is expected to
reflect the views of Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
Bryan himself probably will be elect
ed to lead, the Nebraska delegation
at the st. Louis convention. No con-
tests are anticipated, only one county
having elected delegates directly OPP
posed to the Kansas City platform.

Letter to Sherwood Higgs & Co.,
Raleigh, n. G.

Dear Sir: The easiest business. in
this world is dry goods; the reason is:
your customers want your stuff as
much as YOU want to sell it; they
come in; you show it and sellit. That's
the whole business, except your buy
ing the goods.
Devoe comes next. 1t saves money
and people like money. They like
somebody else's more than their own;
they like to make it more than to
save it; they like 10 Keep it perhaps
as well as to make it.
Buildings rundown fast, without
paint; poor paint is the same. Devoe
is the means of stopping that leak; a
big one. All we've got to do, to sell
Dcvoe, is to show that a man saves
money by using it.

house Eve years ago with a mixed

Fight to the Finish.
(By the Associated Press.)

Detroit, Mich, May 31.-The Demo-
cratic State convention at st. Louis,
viii convene at noon tomorrow. 1t is
expected on every hand that it will
be a fight to the finish between the So
called conservative and radical wings
Of the party. Yet the situation is ex-
tremely complicated. While National
Committeeman Daniel j. Campau is
avowedly in favor of Judge Parker,
C. New York, for the presidential
nomination, Mr.. Campau and his sup
porters who compose the conservative
elements, are demanding only an I'M
Instructed delegation. On the other
hand Frank L. Fowler, of Manistee, a
leader of the so-called Hearst faction
today refused to affirm the assertion
that he was a Hearst supporter, and
declared he was simply "anti-Parker."
Mr.. Fowler was defeated for tempo
rary chairman of the convention in
the State committee meeting today by
a vote of 16 to 4.
OF the tweIve districts the conser-
natives concede two to Hearst men
and claim the other ten.
The unit rule will in all probability
govern the Michigan delegation to St.
Louis.

warm contest over the selection of
delegates at large and over the ques-
ton of adopting the unit rule or leav-
ing the delegation free to act as con-
ditionS may dictate. Absolute in
structions for Parker are favored by
one element and he is strongly oppos-
ed by another. A considerable num-
Der appear to favor an uninstructed
delegation though they favor a resolu-
ton recommending Parker as the
preference of the convention.
