mot CANDIDATE"
DANIEL ASSERTS,
URGING HARMONY
Thinks Nominee Should
Not Be Selected
Geographically.

LYNCHBURG, Va, May 2S-Senator
Daniel. who has been suggested as a
candidate for the Presidential nominal
ton in 1908, discussed political affairs to-
day.
Il am in no sense a candidate for the
nomination" he said. While the kind
ness with which the mention of my
name has been received in some quar-
tiers is naturally very gratifying to me,
! do not think the situation calls for
any public expression from NE at this
time.
DispprOves Sectionalism.
Il think that the national ticket should
be composed OF men according To their
merit and availability, without regard
10 the section from which they may
come. L thinfi the national Democratic
platform should enunciate broad general
Democratic principles and be confined
10 those things upon which the Demo
Gratis are generally agreed. This would
bring together the Democratic forces
Of the United States. and. II they could
be brought together, they would have
an excellent chance for victory.
Such a platform would OF course in
clude fair and just regulation of the cor
rorauons engaged in interstate COM
mprce. 1t IS generally agreed that the
Eold standard should not be menaced
or disturbed by any proposition what
sOeveT.
"Race Question Simpler"
The race question in the South is in
n better position than it has ever been
since the Upheaval following the civil
war. The people Of the country are
taking a more reasonable and just view
AZ the subject than they have ever done
before in our history. Nothing could
be more unfortunate for the equanimity
o. the country or FOR the colored race
than 10 press forward any proposition
that would put the mind OF the people
into an acute condition upon this sub
Ject at this time"
