After the convention had adjourned
there a iii circulation an interesting
story, which if true would constitute
one Of the most tantalizing of political
chances. According to his theory,
which vas INDUCED With a show of
circumstance by several delegates,
Browns men acted a few minutes too
soon and, had they waited another
ballot, would have nominated their
own man instead Of merely having the
satisfaction of Defeating their strong
est opponent. AS the story runs the
Patterson forces held d serious dis
CuSSiOn during the recess between six
land nine o'clock in the morning as to
the a~dViSabiIity Of Withdrawing Mr..
Patterson's name and throwing his
strength to MI. Brown They were
not, however, able to reach a definite
conclusion before the meeting of the
convention. Whe the Patterson out
burst which distinguished the opening
OF the convention had been made and
it was seen to have failed in it's at
tempt at a stampede. the story has it
that the present Congressman sent
word to Sheriff Mcleod. Of Robson,
to notify Mr.. Brown that his
name would be withdrawn after the
ballot and that the Patterson strength
would so to him. \ messenger was
at once sent from the Robeson dele
cation to find Mr. Brown but before
he had an opportunity to convey the
news. the Brown forces had bolted to
Goodwin n the nomination had been
actually made.
The story. however, is probably
more valuable for its possibilities Of
dramatic contrast than as convention
history. It is quite true that there
was some Brown strength in the Rob
eson delegation and that he had there
some friends with whom he was sec
ond choice. Patterson. however. had
at the time 10 reason to give up hope.
Ills strength had never been devel-
.oped fully on Of the fact that
Brunswick and Harnett counties were
both abiding by the resolutions of
their county conventions by which
they had been instructed for Goodwin.
1t IS undoubtedly true that Mr. Pat
terson had in these two delegations
friends enough to have caused his
nomination With his developed
strength had they been free to cast
their ballots. On the other hand.
while Mr.. Brown also had friends who

the first instance and were prepared
to remain with him to the end. AS
the matter appeared to stand there

It IS interesting to watch the way in
which defeated candidates take their
"medicine.' The convention had UP"

equally TO the point in pledging his

party and To the nominee. At the

such as to have let him lose the battle
thrill from his voice. He did MOI

What the Eye Of Dawn Saw
Prior to this demonstration the con
vention had progressed through three
hundred ballots With monotonous
iteration Of roll calls. The dawn was
coming in as the delegates first aWoke
e. The fight. The light grew stronger
and stronger, but the promised victory
did not come. When, at six o'clock,
the early summer sun was shining, it
showed haggard and lined faces, and
men were sleeping with their fore
heads on their arms. and where
trough the hall was displayed the
sOrdid debris of a struggle the end
of which seemed still far away. How

tired delegates troOped back from

The acceptance of Mr.. Goodwin was
in accord With his frank strong face.
and magnificent manly figure. He
was Gnaffectedly happy and grateful.
and his expressions of his intent to

The man today who was generally

Of Harnett His fight for Goodwin was
a magnilcently courageous and effec-
tive ore lie proved himself q past

praise. He spoke often and with tell

passing Of the vote OF BIaden county

was asked by the Columbus delesa-

the exception Of his home county.
DIR. Evans, who nominated Mr..
Brown, spoke of C~hadbourne as he
the South. The way he said it
sounded good to the taste and Smelt
of fruits and flowers. Many, however,
did not know about Pasadena and
more than one delegate found time TO
| get out his encyclopedia, to find it
stated that the town is generally known
as a place in southern California, near
| Los Angeles. Some Of us thought
that there was more doing with
the name than would be suggested by
a place basking in the sun and grow
ing because it was happy. The appli-
cation was distinctly good, since Mr..
Brown is credited with having made"
the ~Chadbourne section. but it was
not as War-like as it sounded in a po-
litical convention. There is much in
a name, however, and especially in the
way in which it is spoken-think for
instance. of that grand old word
MeSOpOtamia!'
Mr.. Stewart. of Harnett, when he
nominated Goodwin. carried the con
Vention away with him on a flood Of

lutte. as ringing as a challenge and at
times carried almost the physical Sug-

a particularly fervid phrase, Mr.. Stew
art hurled the shining lance of light"
fairly upon the bronze forehead" of
neutrality-suspicious. the crowd was SO
passionate to applaud that it drowned
the name of the monster that was
lslain. \ part from it's charm of word
painting, Mr.. Stewards speech was in
addition in every way admirable as a
presentation of his candidate. When,
after hours without sleep, he was
again called to the platform to speak
upon Mr.. GOdWin'S nomination, the
convention remembered his burning
words at the beginning of the fight and

The change in tho tide which ended
the convention an the 35f ballot. wa
the personal work OF Mr.. Brown. The
Columbus and Baden delegations
were still fun Of fight. They gathered
their candidate and many Of
them eEp~ostulated with him against
the course proposed. Mr.. Brown, how
ever. was sure in his opinion that
he could not be nominated and tnat
a further contest would merely mean
useless delay or result in tho nominal
ton Of Mr.. Patterson. and the great
majority OF his friends in the three
counties OF BIaden, Columbus and
New Hanover acquieSced. An cXCep-
ton was Or. Evans, Of Bladen, Who
placed MIR. Brown in nomination. Sc
refused to leave his colors and on the
last ballot east the solitary vote for

.ty on the final r~oll-caIl.

The incident seems to add anothcr
chapter to the political record of Mr..
Brown as q man who is potent in
hnal results, while himself unsuccoss-
tul as a candidate. Four years ago
in the end of a long-draWn convention
such as the last, it was he who threw
las llcnStn suddenly to Patterson,
causing his nomination. 1t was what
was known as the Brown votes in
the Legislature of 1903 which. after n
long struggle for Nj. Watson for SEN
ator, finally went in a body to Mr..
overman, causing his election by the
Legislature. Now. after leading the
convention for hundreds Of ballots. it
was his strength which. unavailing for
his own ambition, brought that of
another to fruitagc. The parallel be
tween Mr.. Browns ours III the con-
vention Of 1902 and 1906 is perfect
except thai in the one ease he defeated
Bellamy and nominated Patterson, and
in the other, defeated Patterson and
nominated Goodwin. The mutability of
politics is further attested by the fact
that in this the county
whose candidate Brown defeated in
1902 was his strongest supporter, with
the exception of his home county.

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 11.-Dissatis-
fed with the existing conditions in
their country, Guatemalan political
refugees have applied to President
Roosevelt to bring about the annexa-
tion of that republic to the United
States. A proclamation mas been issued
by the revolutionary junta in New Or
leans, and copies of this document are
being circulated in the City of Mexico
by the opponents of President Cabrera.
The proclamation is rs follows:
The Stars and Stripes, the emblem
of civilization. order and progress, is
at this moment proudly waving over
the land of Martha Maceo and Maximo
Gomez The republic of Cuba will in
the very near future be annexed to the
United States.
President Roosevelt ought to do the
same with Guatemala. Over 10000
honest Guatemalans have had to aban-
don their homes on account of the revo-
lutions which almost daily are started
to overcome the famous tyrant, Estrada
Cabrera.

tion TO Miss Mccarthy centers among

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE first for
nal statement of the plans of the
Portland and Seattle Railway, which
is being built down the north bank Of
the Columbia River IN washington by
James J. Hill, is contained in the an
nual report of the Northern Pacific
Railway, issued yesterday. The new

In the building of this new road,
which will be z23 miles long, the
Northern Pacific is jointly interested
with the Great Northern. The details
Of the line show that it viii run from
Portland TO Spokane and Texas Ferry,

Valuable terminal property has been

The report says that it is expected

SANTA BARBARA, Oct 1.-THE i'll
luck that has pursued the cruiser Cali

Friday was in evidence today when the

The disablement of the California was
