Editor The Manning Times:
Though an off election year
any one can by scanning the
political skies, decern now and
then a political speck in the ex-
pressions politically of some
men in regard to the fitness of
men who is occasionally spoken
OF as the standard bearer of the
democratic party in the Presi-
dental contest in 1907.
AS we'll as our perceptions
guide US along this line William
Jennings Bryan is a going to be
the nominee in spite of, now and
then. the clamor Of few so-called
democrats who is seeking every
little pretext to land their
treacherous carcases iuto the
ranks of the infamous Republi.
can party, party whose record
for the past forty years and
more has been a record only of
political corruption, devilment
and rascality.
1t is indeed sickening to hear
5his and that so called prominent
democrat given vent to his polit-
ical feelings by saying if Mr.;
Bryan is nominated they will
vote for a Republican. Would
to heaven that all such men
would with bag aud baggage go to
the Republican party for if they
only would, then would the
grand old Democratic party
be shorn of it's scum and dross
and would stand before the
world as the purest of political
parties.
1t is our opinion that no dem.
ocratic nominee it matters not
who he is can be elected in the
coming Presidential election,
but we believe Mr.. Bryan can
come as near to being elected as
any other man that could be
placed in nomination by the
democratic party. Mr.. Bryan
has been by some called a Popu-
list, but will remind every one
that he is a friend to the South
ern people and to their customs.
anc this reason if no other,
should go a long ways with
Southern people.
What was the case IN the last
presidential election With Judge
Alton B. Parker: Judge Parker
was no Populist, but at the same
time he was politically octra-
cisad by democrats who went
over to Roosevelt in shoals.
a. good democrat would vote
for "old nick" if he was the
nominee of the democratic party
instead of voting for an unprin-
cipled republican.
It will be recalled that in 1900
Mr.. Bryan ran many thousands
of votes ahead of his vote IN
1896 while Mr.. Mckinley at the
same time ran many thousands
behind his vote of 1896
Mr.. Bryan's idea of govern
mental control of railroads need
not deter any good democrat
from voting for him for we meet
often with men that we know is
good democrats who hold to the
same views.
We hope that South Carolina
will to a man rally to the stan
dard bearer of the democratic
party in the coming Presidential
contest it matters not who the
nominee may be and vote for
him. lit was left to US to name
the nominees and elect the men,
we would for president select
". J. Bryan, and for vice presi.
dent select B. r. Tillman and IN
so doing we are satifed that our
next administration would be an
administration of purityand that
this government of these United
States of America would be a
model government that would
reflect on its people credit and
not by the nations OF the earth
a reproach..
