What Sam. Jones Says Of him and
President Roosevelt.
Rev. Sam. Jones writes as follows
in the Atlanta Journal:
On m5 tours since the landslide"
Of two weeks ago, find two things to
be true. First, I find nobody In sack
cloth and ashes on account Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's election, and second
ly, I find that Mr.. Bryan is the most
loved and admired Democrat in the
world to5ay. These two facts are
SIGNIFICANT, and will have much to do
in shaping future events In the
United States.
o. all sides I hear men say that
President Roosevelt is an honess,
brave man, and makes g good pfesl-
dent He certainly has the respect
and confidence Of a great majority OF
southern people and would have thelr
love also, but for the negro In the
woodpie. The southern people LOOK
on such facts as his tender Of the
Panama commissionership to Senator
Cockrell (an;i that If he does not
choose that, then the tff7r Ct the
railroad conmissionersaip to bim)
aud Mr.. Roosevelt's kind words and
deeds toward that grand old senator,
and they win him the hearts OF
southern men, and shows them that
a t ue man and faithful service is the
one object OF his administration, and
that be is ready to reward honesty
and fidelity to trust no matter which
political party be finds them In.
Most men believe that Mr.. & o'eVelt
will stand by the interest OF the mass
es and not regard the wishes OF the
classes. Surely be knows that tine

south, would stick to OF admire al

believe that within the next sll
months Mr.. Roosevelt will regain the
esteem of southern men by his attl

or the least disparagement OF m!

This election seems to have demon

stand for conservatism aud partner

them again in national politics. He
is the great commonsr, the Gladstone

If he is the patriot now believe him
to be, he would as soon pick the win

The Democratic party is immortal,
it will never die. Wherever men,
liberty or civilization desires to live,
you will find Democrats like Cromwell.
Gladstone, Jefferson and their mil.
lions Of followers. The only victories
ever lasting and the only defeats ever
sustained by the Democratic party in
the United States have been brought
about by the divisions and petty diff.
ferences within the party itself. a
solid united Democracy is inVinciole.
In the past forty years, while the
Democratic party has been torn by
division and hurt by enemies in it's
own camp, the Republican party has
been busy grabbing our ammunition
and stealing our guns, not so much to
hht Democracy with but it has fur
nlshed them livery to ride into

respectable after thsy got In.
