CAPT. TOLLEY
CRACKS THE NUT

The American and Banner in Ten
nessee, and corporation-owned or dom
mated newspapers in other states
! have been making frantic efforts OF
late to get out a southern candidate
to defeat Bryan for the presidential
nomination in 1908 Their pretext is
that Bryan has been twice defeated !;
that his nomination means defeat and
disaster to the democratic party and a
whole lot of rot of the same sort. The
truth, however, is not that they fear
democratic defeat and humiliation,
for if they felt sure that would follow
another Bryan nomination they would
be Justify advocating his nomination.
What they really fear is that he has
a chance of being elected. Capt. w.
P. Tolley, a lifelong democrat, who
has been in the party harness since
the old ante-bellum days, in letter to
The Tennessean Monday gives some
figures which show the insincerity of
the expressed fears of these papers.
Capt. Tolley points out that Bryan inI
1900, received 1,2S0,162 more votes
than Parker did in 1904, and that in
1896 his vote was 946,007 larger than
Cleveland's was in 1892. In is plain,
therefore, that Bryan is too good a
votegetter for these plutocratic news
papers, and that their reason for oppo- |
sition to him is not because he gets
fewer votes than any other democrat, |
but because he has demonstrated his |
ability to get a great many more
votes than any man of the Cleveland
Parker brand, and there is some dan
ger of fellow that can get votes like
hat being elected. Hence the frantic
effort to sidetrack him by a silly APP
peal to southern pride. as If the south
ern people were mere school children
o be caught with a bauble.
In the meantime ex-senator Car

Itor-elect John Sharpe Williams would

NEW BANK
AT LEWISBURG

Mr.. W. r. Hutton and others have
taken the preliminary steps for the
organization of a National Bank at
Lewisburg. A charter has been APP
piled for and the new bank will start
on its career early in the fall. Mr.
Hutton is admirably qualified for the
management of such an institution
and we have no doubt but what the
enterprise will be a success from the
start. The Gazette regrets very much
to lose Mr.. Hutton and family from
our community. but If they must go,
we wish them every good thing

That was the voice of the pre-

PREDICTS CLOSE MONEY AND
FINANCIAL DISASTER,

And now it is John d. Rockefeller,
chief among the defenders of nation
al honor" and leader among the calm,
conservative thinkers of the country"
who is preaching calamity In an In
terview at Cleveland. Ohio, with a rep
resentative of the New York Ameri-
can, John d. Rockefeller, speaking
earnestly and deliberately said:
The policy of the present
administration toward great bus
mess combinations of all kinds
can have only one result.
1t means disaster to the country, finan-
cial depression and financial chaos.
The world already has a fair dose of
this, since the extreme penalty i'm
posed on one corporation, with linn
tied number of shareholders, has
caused loss of confidence, reflected
in a falling stock market, tightening
of money and fear of the future.
The newspapers are full of this, and
reflect the feeling of unrest. What
will be the effect when similar action
is taken against corporations with
myriads of stockholders scattered
throughout the country, the investors,
the widows and orphans? There can
be put but one answer. The present
situation will be intensified many fold.
1t does not require an expert to reason
this out The most superficial thinker
can do it. 1t will go further AID say
today that because of the administra-
ton, with its reports every five min
utes of new actions and of heavy fines, |
the country is already beginning to
drift toward the rocks of financial de-
preston. Confidence is gone, and
confidence is the basis of all pros
perity With confidence established
there can be no stopping of the wheels
of progress. Without it, all is at a
standstill."

Columbia Hopes to Go Deer to Jer-
sen Side of Rirer.

The Columbia University Rowing Association
has under consideration plans which. If carried
into effect. will change the course Of training of
the crews and result in their beginning work at
Poughkeepsie much later than they do at pres
ent. They include the moving of the Gould boat
house, which is now situated on the New York
side of the river, TO the New Jersey shore. and
the establishment of training quarters there for
the first two weeks in June.
The plans have been brought about by the in
PRODUCTION OF a new academic schedule at Co
lumbia making IT impossible for the crews to go
to Poughkeepsie before the middle of June. This
is two weeks later than they have gone ordi-
narily. According TO the schedule which is TO go
into effect next year the examinations for all
cept seniors will not be over until June Is. max
ing IL impossible for the men TO go 10 Pough-
keepsie before that time
Mr.. Rice, the coach, believes that the men
should get into quarters and begin training
der conditions similar to those at Poughkeepsie
as early as possible. At present there is no way
in which this be done. There has never been

great dissatisfaction with the Harlem River as a

difficulties can be removed by going across the

by the Palisades that wind from the north
