WISE GOVERNOR AYCOCK.

Governor Aycock, Of North Carolina,
IS wise IN politics. He knows how to es-
innate all this talk about putting South
ern man on the Democratic Presidential
ticket. Much Of it is well-meant, but the
time is not yet. The time will not be,
either, until the South is in a position to
divide on questions of national politics rs
| other sections do.
| SO long as the South is certain to go
for the Democracy if any two decent men
are put up, it will be policy for the party
to select these two decent nominees from
important districts which are in doubt.
The Brooklyn Times gives us the cold
truth when it says: There is nothing
| to be gained by the nomination OF a
Southern man. The nomination of a Vir-
! ginan would not make Virginia one iota
more secure for the Democratic party
| than it is now
That is about what Governor Aycock
means when he expresses the opinion that
| it would be unwise to put Southerner
on the ticket this year unless the party
should be convinced that it could not
win.

A CASE OF MISTAKEN MODESTY.
Norfolk Virgirian- Pilot.
The Washington Times in discussing tn
recent letter of Governor Aycock, o
North Carolina, says:
Governor Avcock was asked his
opinion some time ago on the subject
of nominating Southern man for the
Vice-Presidency. He has given it.
He says that if the Democratic party
has any chance of winning this year
he does not favor placing a Southern
man on the ticket: if it's case is hope
less, the Southern experiment might
be worth trying.
This is frank. and also self-sacri-
ficing. Governor Aycock apparently
thinks a Southern man would be a
hoodoo on the party, and that such a
risk should only be taken when the
prospect is so bad that nothing can
make it worse. Perhaps this is so, but
why should it be so. Let the Southern
Democrats and the Northern Demo-
Gratis get together and answer this
question.
''At any rate. this statement adds
comic element to the situation.
Northern Democrats of prominence do
not want the nomination for the
Presidency unless they have some
chance to win. Governor Aycock's
Southern Democrat must not be nomi-
mated for Vice President if he has any
chance to win. Perhaps: If the pros
pect is quite gloomy, the Southern
nominee for the Vice Presidency might
consent to take the first place on the
ticket"
Hon. Charles Brantley Aycock is a nal
as modest as he is able and upright. bu
in this case we are persuaded that he II
in error We believe that instead o
weakening the ticket Southern man O

would strengthen it.
The scctionalism born OF war is no
merely vanishing quantity, it is largel,
a quantitl already vanished. In practi

office. In New York, Southerners are
more popular than Northerrers. Th,

to defeat as a Northern man to victory
this year. The Republicans have Con
