BRITT TAKES DAY OFF.
Feigns The Belief that He Will be
Successful In Congressional
Contest

James j. Britt, the republican candi-
date for congress from the Tenth district,
''put on sub" at Murphy today and came
to Asheville to aid in welcoming Secretary
of the Treasury Leslie n. Shaw. Mr.
Britt and his democratic opponent, Mr..
Crawford opened the joint campaign ct
Robbinsvllle Monday. The candidates
we're due to speak at Murphy today, but
in view of the fact that Secretary Shaw's
visit to Asheville was primarily in the
interest of Mr.. Britt's candidacy, the re-
pub lican aspirant to congress from this
district felt that it would never do to be
absent on 80 auspicious occasion, and con-
sequently delegated Mr.. Benbow to meet
Mr.. Crawford today. The arrangement
was entirely satisfactory to Mr.. Crawford
the joint discussion of national issues
would have gone on uninterrupted but for
the fact that Mr.. Benbow failed to show
up. Mr.. Israel the socialist candidate,
filled in the time.
MIR. Britt was in high spirits when seen
by newspaper man this morning. He
said that he found conditions in the west
far better than he expected and that at
both Robbinsville and Andrews there were
more republican voters in the audience
than democrats. He said that while there
was not the demonstrative enthusiasm and
no display OF rough honse" paTtisanship
manifested in the present joint campaign
that has featured other joint discussions in
the district, the people nevertheless showed
that they were vitality interested and gave
close and courteous attention to both
speakers. Mr.. Britt was greatly pleased
with the high plane on which the joint
discussions have been pitched and said
the people were humorously entertained
at times by the good-natured tilts be-
tween himself and his opponent. Mr.
Britt Is enthusiastic over the contest and
has gone into the campaign with determi-
nation to win if possible. He sees visions
OF victory at polls and if he receives the
support that has been pledged him he will
give Mr.. Crawford a close raee.-Gazette-

ers as that charged Americans and to put
it in his pocket the amount of the draw
hacks.
In other words, taking Secretary Shaw s
contention as to the amount of goods sold
more chearly in foreign than American
markets to be true, the drawback" be-
comes bonus.
Mr.. Bryan consumed considerable time
with the Shaw speech, concluding that it
was not surprising that that sort of a
speech should fail to do duty in Iowa,
when 1t defends democratic doctrine; that
the reasonable deduction from Secretary
Shaws argument was that "if it's neces-
sary, it's not necessary" his own argu-
ment proving that it is not necessary to
tax yourselves to pay the manufacturer
two prices, when he is shown to be safe
from foreign competition. Mr.. Bryan
showed conclusiVely that the democratic
contention that the tariff was paid by the
consumer was borne out by Secretary
Shaw's argument as well as the other con-
tention that the labor of American work.
men, paid al greater wage, was of a
quality sufficient to enable it to compete
with the cheaper labor of foreign countries,
by reason of the latter's ineficiency.
RooseveIt's ''DemOcrat Popularity
Mr.. Bryan then took up in detail the
structure of the Roosevelt popularity, call
ing attention to the fact that ten years ago,
there were dozen republicans who, it was
thought by their party, might make sue
cnssful campaign for president, while now
there was only one.
"When republican speaks In praise and
rejoicing of what his party has done, it is
something which was not in the republi-
can, but in the democratic platform; when
he commences Ito elaborate an apology Ii is
for something that his party has failed to
do which the democrats have demanded" "
There was only one man he declared,
Who had chance to be elected republi-
can president, and he because he had done
some things which the democratic party
had declared for. and which his party had
failed TO declare for, and done them with
democratic assistance.
''And they can't blame the Lord for It;
am glad the crops have been good, The
republican cry is that if the crops are good
the party did 1t; if the crops are bad, the
party Is all right and the fault with the
Almighty"
The Almighty. he declared, had cent
good times, taken away all excuse and left

At the unusual hour of one o'clock

Miss Gala Poiteveat, sister of the wife
of Frank w. Haynes, the New Orleans

and from there to Asheville and New
York. 1t is said the dashing baron
came to the United States with the ex-
press purpose of mrrrying an heiress,
and he seems to have succeeded, as Miss
Poiteveat has an estate in her own name
in New Orleans.
The marriage was in the face of
strong opposition on the part of the
brides relatives. The brother of the
bride followed the eloping couple to
New York, and it is said hired Pinker-
ton detectives to trace them to their
hiding place, but he was just little too
late, as the happy couple sailed for
Germany on the day he received the
correct information as to their stopping
place. It was his intention to bring his
sister back with him to Flat Rock.
Sam King, at the Court House, on
Monday received letter, postmarked

that certified copy of the marriage
license be forwarded to 65 Broadway,

Bryan was here. The people became
complacent in the jamb. The dessr ID
one was on hand. More cheers and the
cavAlcade and the carriages started for the

sidewalks, past fluttering haukerchiefs of
women, urged ahead by the honest cheer

voices predominated over those of the

after all. The day was forgotten in the
man.
Scenes I'm the HALL.
The hall filled rapidly. On the platform
when tho speech began were Governor
Glenn and the other state officers, men,
bers of the Supreme Court, Judges of the
Superior Court. Ex-Governor Charles b.
Aycock, Congressman Kitchen and
Thomas, DR.. Mclver, DIR. Winston, jose
phus Daniels, many others, members of
the legislature, prominent democrats, citi-
zens of Raleigh and other towns that had
delegations present.
Governor Glenn made popular intro

slowly, took pace forward. As he did

plause fervently. 1t bombarded him with
kindness, heapiug his head with its en-
thusiam as he stood quietly waiting. The
deep smile was running away, back from
his Irish lip and his eyes twlnkled softly.
Presently he raised his hand, an easy, half
unconscious movement of the palm out
ward. As he did so the curious phenome-
non Of his control exhibited itself. The
cheering and applause was at It's height
when he made the sign. 1t fell to silence
at a breath, checked into instant attention
The entire speech was listened to by the
packed house with breathless interest.
The crowd, which was dense on platform,
floor galleries and aisles, so far forgot
itself as to stand motionless and, except at
periods OF applause, IN an utter silence
which the voice of the speaker dominated
with absolute ease. At the conclusion of
the rather lengthy speech, the interest of
the audience had been kept at such an alb
solute notch Of attention as to have mis-
led the majority as to the period of time.
This applied to women and children, of
whom there were q considerable number
in attendance, equally with the men. 1t
expressed the final touch of ability In pub
lie speaking. There was little of the Bry-
an ''oratory," but the speech moved On
with o sense of reserve power that was
fascinating. It grace was its distinguish
ing Characteristic. It held less of action
than formerly, yet was not cut and dried.
1t showed Mr.. Bryans growth as an orator
to have well-high reached the point where
he can be spoken of in this regard as con-
summate.

Examining the record, he referred to
Roosevelt's appropriation Of the democrat
ic declaration in favor of arbitration in the
face of his eulogy by Black as god OF
war, to the settlement OF. the coal strike, to
the rate bill.
Republicans, he said, were saying that
the only attack the democrats could make
was that they had stolen their thunder.
MY answer is, he declared, ''let them
take the lightning, too. They have the
noise, but they haven't stolen my effective
legislation"

OF treatment of trusts, he attacked the
half hearted measures to which Roosevelt
has consented to lead himself. First, by

notorious, and asking, ''please 10 stop.

ing that at that time the Bryan men were
few that it was easy to know who they
were and where they were from. He ac-
kuowledged the North Carolina debt and
won the first burss of applause by stating
that tyou can cal Ion me whenever
in campaign you think you need
my services" He remarked, however,
that whe, ever he came South, he had q
feeling that he was not making the best use
of his time. There was such general in
|ehbaiiohsto vote the democratic ticket that
it seemed scarcely necessary for him to
come with the idea of making converts.
1t was made less necessary by the fact
that Secretary Shaw had recently made a
tour of speech making here before him
He was grateful, he said, to Secretary
Shaw.
Shaw and IOwa's Second Best"
1t was fair to tell what a compliment he
paid North Carolina in bringing as an
argument to this state the second hand
clothing which the slate of Iowa had re-
jected. He used the speech he made in
Iowa, and which 1t would have none of,
probably upon the assumption that he was
so far from Iowa that North Carolina
would fail to detect the difference in the
new clothes and old. Shaw he declared to
be the high priest of the stand -patters,
alone of all men insisting that the republi-
can party had done everything that was
necessary, nothing that was wrong; that
the country was in such fine condition
that nothing needs to be done in the next
century.
In other states republicans we're com
manding changes in the tariff, in New
England and in Iowa. In the last speech
made by President Mckinley he had de-
clared that the country could not expect to
sell everything and buy nothing. But
Shaw was not reformer. He wants the
republican party endorsed in toto. The
trusts he leaves for future discovery. But
he points out nothing. He makes an
argument thatlconf1rms most that the dem
ocrats have said on the tariff question.
Give HIM time and he would confirm the
truth of all they had said.
Entering into a detailed discussion of
Secretary Shaw's argument about the
drawbacks" by which manufacturers are
enabled to buy imported raw material with
the duty practically off and sell at cheap
er price in foreign than American mark
cts, he showed that tho claim Of the secre-
tary that only four million dollars of
American goods were sold at a higher
price to Americans than to foreigners was
open to these fatal alternatives:
Shaw Argument Resolved.
The American manufacturers shipped
$l2O, 900, 900 worth of goods, on which
they received from the government the
import duties on the raw material by way
of rebates.
If such rebates were necessary to enable
the manufacturers 10 lower the price of
their goods to meet competition, the amount
of goods sold in foreign markets at prices
above those exacted in America was S120,
000, ,OOO instead of $4,000. 600 as claimed
Secretary Shaw.
If, on the other hand, there were thus
sold more cheaply in foreign markets only
81, !, ,00O, 900, as claimed by Secretary Shaw,
the vaunted system of drawbacks amount
ed simply to enabling the manufacturers.to
exact the same price from foreign consum-
