"Gorman, the Ideal Candidate

To the Editor:
In advocating the candidacy of any
one man or set of men it is first essen
tial to find out the relative strength of
the favored candidate. The only way
that this can be done is through the
medium of the press, the molders of
opinion, and it is we'll that it is SO
for what would the people of North
Carolina know of a man that is reared
in Michigan when he is prominently
brought forward for any responsible
position without the aid of the press,
and just here while on this subject
we will take the men who are fore
most in the residential race for the
nomination Of p. sident of the United
States. We Will START with Mr.. Cleve-
land, Hearst Bryan, Parker and Cor
man, of Maryland, and ask the ques-
tion for our delegates to consider, can
Cleveland unite the Democratic party
any better than the Hon. W.. j. Bryan.
can the Democratic party afford to
nominate Judge Parker, who is styled
the unknown, and whose views on all
questions nationally are as unknown
as his name is to the majority of this
country? VIII these men unite the
party, and add vim and enthusiasm
to the campaign? The answer echos
back, No!
Will Mr. Hearst answer with the
sharp criticism of the press and his
close association to Mr. Bryan? No!
While we have the advantage we
should not take any false step, but
take advantage of our opportunities.
This is surely Democratic year. Now
let US see what the expression for the
Hon. A. =. German, of Maryland is.
What do they say of him? Has his
Democracy ever been questioned? No.
Have his views on all National ques-
tions been sought after? Yes. Does
any one deny that he is a statesman?
No. We all agree that he is popular,
for he is known all over these United
States, and they will admit that Cor
man from Maryland is the best equip
ped man in the Democratic party to
wage war against the Republican par
ty, the only objection to him up to
the present time is, he's from Mary
land, which only has eight electoral
votes, but all eyes are upon her, and
She never fails when her noblest sons
stand in need of her. We have in the
person of German the ideal candidate.
He has always stood as a true expo
nent of sound Democratic principles.
He has been true and loyal in the
darkest hours of the South, when the
Republican party tried to place upon
us the nefarious Force Bill which ev-
ery Democrat we'll knows, and he has
ALWAYS been a friend to legitimate cap
ital and honest corporations, and no
man stands higher with the working
people and wage-earnerS of this coun-
trv. If the Democratic Convention
should nominate him as our candi-
date for President they will name q
man TO whom all factions can hon
estly rally and cordially support.

Our Own State.

This writer has often been accused
of provincialism. If that means a de-
cided preference for North Carolina
over any other section of the wide
world. we plead guilty to the soft i'm.
peachment. We have no sympathy
with any man or movement that looks
to other sections for help to do things
in this State. We do not need other
peoples money, for we have plenty OF
our own to do everything that ne eAls
to be done. We do not know how it
is with other denominations, but the
Baptists have demonstrated that fact
over and over again. We built a Wo-
mans college from the ground. Per-
haps an attempt or two was made TO
pull a little money. out of the North,
but If so it failed, and we are glad of
it, There the college stands-the
finest and richest woman's college the
State ever had. Wake Forest College
did get slice of Standard Oil stock,
but while it has been exceedingly
helpful, we could easily have received
as much from our own citizens, and
if we had our college would have been
nearer to the hearts of our people
than it is. Here is the Orphanage.
What monument it is to the liberal
ity and loyalty of our own people!
We have about 800 children here now
and our people would feed q Thousand
just as gladly. All this makes us lie
lieve in North Carolina, and it may be
narroWneSs, or bigotry, or ignorance
or what not, but we are going to keep
right on saying and believing that
North Carolina is the best State in
the Union; and we are fully able to
paddle our own canoe

1t would be a calamity for either
Japan or Russia to win a complete

fate Japan with a false pride that
would make her intolerable, and a

that at the proper time the powers
will step in and stop the whole busi-

both nations in the settlement of the
questions at issue. Our sympathy is
entirely with Japan, who is fighting

would use a victory over Russia With
prudence or wisdom.

Some claim that it will add $500 farm
ers.
ln'addition to this, a very large irri-
cation enterprise is now being push
ed to completion which will bring
$4,000 acres under cultivation. This
land begins almost at the limits OF
Billings and stretches %northward for
several miles. The magnitude of this
work may be estimated from the fact
that one mile Of the ditch, which in
cludes. a tunnel, will cost approximate
ly $4,000.
The company pushing this enter
prise acquired the state lands under
ditch by paying the indebtedness OF
the irrigation district No. l under the
arid land commission. This gives
title to the company, and lands under
the ditch are being sold at s35 per
acre, which is a reasonable price for
the best lands in that country. In
fact, no lands on which alfalfa is
grown at the present time can tie pr
chased for $50 per acre.
Basis Of Confidence.
The opening of the Grow s IF yat.ca
and the completion of the irrigation
project is giving the Billings business
man and property owner a confidence
in the future that seems to be based
on unusual promises. There is no
denying the fact that within the e

of $4,000 people. Billings is the CEN
