ROOSEVEZIITS PECULIAR POSI-
TTON.

The republicans Of New York do not
seem to be taking much interest in Mr..
Rooseyelt's nomination. Their evident
and very pronounced apathy on this
subject must be CALLING TO the presi-
dent. 1t is plain that there are many
republicans in his own state who would
prefer to see some other man the NOM
inee of their party.
This indifference is not confined to
party men in New York, but exists in
all sections Of the country. This is
evidenced by the small attendance in
the first days session of the national
convention. We do not suppose there
ever was before a national political
convention where tickets of admission
were a drug on the local market. There
Were many vacant seats in the audience
part of the convention hall. Tickets
of admission were being offered for
sale at almost nominal figures, with
a great lack of buyers. There was none
Of the usual excitement of bands
playing and clubs marching into the
hall. The convention was more like
the ratification meeting for a candi-
date who had been forced upon those
present who had assembled to give un-
willing approval of the nomination. We
do not suppose there was ever before
a man nominated for president against
the will Of such a large and so in
f1uential a membership of his party.
We may be sure that the affairs of
this convention are not suiting Mr..
Roosevelt. Things are too tame. There
is none of the fuss and excitement that
he would like to have usher in his
candidacy. Such mild proceedings do
not come up to his idea of what is suit
able on such an occasion.
In the the state of New York, the lack
of interest in the convention was so
great that the plan for having a special
train to carry the delegates and their
friends to Chicago had to be abandoned
Three weeks ago notice was given
that a special train would be chartered
and that all who desired berths should
send in their applications at once;
these requests came in SO slowly that
after two weeks of waiting it was found
that there would be no need of a spe-
cial train.
Under these circumstances it was re-
markable that Mr.. Roosevelt could even
get the nomination, much less abso-
lutely dictate to his party without
single open dissent. He has the party
completely under his control notwith-
standing the fact that he is not popu-
lar with its leading element and that
many fear the result of his four year s
term of office.

AN EDITORS WORRIES.

The editor of The Raleigh Post is
worried. He is calling for informa-
ton on two points which seem to- be
disturbing him. The first is in ref
erence to that proposed plank in the
state democratic platform in refer
ence to compulsory voting. After
discussing the question The Post says:
By the way, what is mild compul-
sion" anyhow? Compulsion is COM
pulsion or tits not, and compulsion
is a distasteful word among free peo-
pie. We can't imagine a mild COM
pulsory law. If it compels atten-
dance it might just as we'll be called
rigid" If we are going to force
democrats to the polls we can't de-
ceive them by soft-sounding terms.
=. We are sorry We can not help him,
but suggest that he apply to the orig
-inator of the idea for an explanation.
This person, we believe, is a citizen of
Raleigh. If he cannot tell what he
means by mild cornpulsion.'' The
Post will have to give it up and let
the matter go.
The other point which is bothering
The Post editor is his inability to read
the mind of the editor of Kings Dol
lar Daily and determine whether he is
proud of the Pitt county whiSkey
record and is determined not to let
the league people misrepresent it. or
whether he writes as he does in the
simple exercise of the freedom OF
the press
The article in the latter paper
which brought this worry of mind to
The Post editor is this:
If the anti-saloon league map of
North Corolina is as true of all other
counties as it Is of Pitt, then it is a
study of Misrepresentation. The only
liquor business represented in Pitt is

There is talk in Washington to the
effect that Jas. NJ. Tyner intends suing
President Roosevelt if the latter does
not give him the letter demanded, re-
tracing the charge made that Mr..
Tyner was the chief of the postoffice
department conspirators. Mr.. Roose-
welt has not yet decided whether to give
the letter or not. It is said he has
consulted many of the lawyers connect

There is much discussion among the
lawyers in Washington as to whether
the president can be sued in such a case
and opinions differ. The constitution
prohibits the arrest of the president
upon criminal charge except for
certain offences therein enumerated,
but is silent on the subject of his be-
ing made a defendant in a civil suit.

GUESSE.,G ON THE ELECTION.

Guessing as to the results of the
presidential election is now in order,
and all kinds of guesses are being
New York Sun has the following to
say:
Count Wisconsin now among the
doubtful states, although Mckinley
carried il four years ago by 10000
plurality. 1t has been a doubtful
state before. In 1892 a democratic
candidate won the electoral votes of
Wisconsin by $500 plurality. His
name was Cleveland.
In that same election Illinois was
also doubtful state. Cleveland car
ried it by 27,00o.
Likewisa Indiana. Cleveland car
ried it by $500.
Likewise New Jersey. Cleveland
carried New Jersey by $4,000.
Also Connecticut. Cleveland carried
it by $500.
Also New York, which had gone
republican four years before. Cleve-
land carried New York in 1892 by
$4,000.
These six states that went demo-
cratic for Cleveland in 1892 possess.
in combination, under the present ap-
portionment not less than 113 electoral
votes, and these 113 electoral votes
will determine, the election.
If the democrats are to again carry
these states, which are put down as
doubtful, this year and which, though
generally republican, gave Mr.. Cleve-
land their electoral votes in 1892, does
it not look like they should nominate a
man of the Cleveland school Of dem
ocracy rather than one of the Bryan?
These states gave Mr.. Cleveland their
votes. They all went republican both
times Mr.. Bryan was the nominee Of
the democratic party. Isn't it COM
mon sense to suppose that they will
surely go republican this year if a
man of Mr.. Bryan's political views is
the democratic nominee? With these
facts regarding the last three elec-
tons, coupled with the conditions
now existing in the states above
named, it would be suicidal on the
part of the democratic party at it's
St Louis convention to endorse the
platforms of the last two national
conventions and nominate a man who
advocates them.

The story comes from Atlanta that
a speculator in that city cleared forty
thousand dollars on a cotton futures
deal last spring. F1e concluded to in
vest the money in a residence, settle
down in a safe business, let specula-
ton alone and be happy ever after
ward. After looking around for a while
he found a house which suited him;
but it took all of his forty thousand
dollars to buy the house and left moth
ing with which to purchase furniture
and fittings. So, he concluded to put
his money in another cotton deal to
raise the funds necessary for this pur-
pose. He got on the wrong side of the
market. His forty thousand dollars
were swept away and he was left with
out house or furniture and with no
money. Thus it happens to most men
if they stick to speculations in futures,
the sharpers will get them in the end.
