The Visalla (Csl.) Daily Times.-All
that makes Roosevelt popular with
the masses is his Endorsement Of the
things advocated by Bryan in 1898
and In 1900 and which were denounced
by Republicans as anarchistic at that
time. For instance the regulation Of
railroad rates and the control of the
trusts have brought Roosevelt promi.
nently before the people. He is doing
in feeble way what Bryan would
have accomplished In an orderly and
comprehensive manner. Mr.. Roose-
velt will find no comfort in any ma
tional Republican platform for his
fight on the railroads or In the curb.
ing OF the trusts. He will have to 90
to the Democratic national platform
for IN expression on these subjects and
20 the speeches Of Mr.. Bryan for their
illumination.

the prediction, II any democrat shall

mins should he be nominated, he will
have cause to regret it before two
years, because Mr.. Oummins will do
just what be did in 1908, repudiate
his principles and "stand on the CEN

never be enacted into law until the

 Execntfvess Attention.


 Two ofiicial vacancies in North Ala Dama are busying Governor Jelks with the examination of recommendations and the consideration of the claims or many. applicants. The Governor will probably fill the places some time in the near future.
 The vacancies exist in the Solicitor ship of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, and the Tax Assessorship of Morgan county. A solicitor Is to be named for the Eleventh Circuit. because Hon. w. H. Sawteils, lately the solicitor of that circuit, resigned. The place of Tax Assessor of Morgan county is vacant through the death of the late assessor. Calvin c. Harris.
 An interesting feature of the con test before the Governor for the solic- itorship of the Eleventh Circuit Is the application of Hon. J. H. Nathan, of same circuit. Judge Nathan was ap- pointed several months ago. He was not candidate for the place in the recent primary. A three handed race for the judgeship in which Judge Ma than was not a candidate. was won oy Hon. Charles P. Almon, of Russellville Judge Nathan's term will expire In few months, while the term of solici' tor. to which Mr. Sawtelle was elected will run several months longer.
 There are. however. a number o' other strong applicants for the posi- ton, and a pretty race Is shaping. oth' CT applicants are R.
