Why Bob Glenn Was Chosen.

Dublin Journal.
The Democratic Convention of 1904
the greatest ever yet known-has
come and gone, and did it's duty well.
Fully 5000 people spent the night in
the big tobacco warehouse which
could accommodate the large crowd
voting, shouting and hurrahing for
their favOrite candidate. It was not
a mob No: but great crowd of en-
thusiaStic Democrats who were anxi-
Gus for the choice of their own can
ddate and expressed their hopes and
anxiety in loud tones.
They were orderly, respectful to
their opponents and treated each 9TH
er in a generous, heightened, gentle
manly way, without any Wounding,
singing personalities, and the conven-
ton adjourned approaching that Bob
Glenn was fully and beyond doubt the
peoples choice, and to this cholce
they at last heartily bowed. Had
Major Stedman, Lieutenant Governor
Turner or General Davidson won out
all would likewise have joined IN
hearty support of the favorite of the
convention. Why Bob Glenn was
chosen is a short story. He was
simply the choice of the people and
though politicians arrayed them
selves against the viii! of the people,
it was supreme, as it should be. ana
| Bob Glenn, their choice and favorlte,
won out after a hard-fought battle
and thereby the greater victory.
The News end Observer well says:
! "What Nominated Robert Glenn =
The country people have long memo
ries."
No better answer could be given
for since 1S92-fourteen years ago
Bob Glenn and Governor Aycock nave
been the Democratic warehouses; ana
champions of their cause. Aycock was
honored with the governorshlp ana
why not Bob Glenn? And the great
surprise is that the other people pc
sides che country people" have SO
early lost their memories
