Despite the frantic efforts of
the local republicans to. draw a
crowd to their meeting in an adj
joining hall the Bryan Club had
an enthusiastic crowd at their
meeting over ]. o. Williams
store last Thursday night, and
listened to some really fine cam
paign speeches. There were a
number of ladies present who
were no less emphatic than their
masculine friends in their appro-
val of the many fine points
made in the sound Democratic
doctrine advanced by Mr.. Spain

occasion. The Great Commoner
told of Imperialism and of the
tariff, and the clear cut sentences
held the audience in absolute
silence to the end.

Said when you borrowed money
from a bank you guaranteed its
payment.by giving ample secur-
ity for the loan, which was
guaranteeing the payment of the
money, but no bank, outside of
Oklahoma guaranteed to repay
the depositor his money. IN
Oklahoma a guaranteed bank
failed the other day. Within
one hour they telephoned the de-
positors to come in and get their
money. One old farmer said he
was too busy with his wheat,
he'd be in town in a day or two
and get his cash, The same day
an Ohio bank failed, and within.
an hour the street was full of a
turbulent, angry mob, defying
the police, and all crying, Give
US our money!" The Ohio bank
was not guaranteed. The guar

out many millions now hidden

banks.

s Ss2a2s 2ssi VIII Be Elected by Landslide

New York, Oct. 10 Massing
all the forces Of militant demo-
craey in the final struggle of the
campaign tocapture the Empire
state, Chairman Mack of the
democratic national committee.
bearing prophecies Of victory,
came today from the west to take
personal charge of what he de-
clares will be the hardest fought
finish of any presidential cam
paign in this state. Not only
Bryan but other democratic
speakers of note, including sever
al United States senators, win
swing through the state in the.
effort to capture New York's
electoral vote for the democratic
ticket.
Mr.. Mack asserts that Bryan
will be elected by a landslide,
and in support of this declara-
fionmade pubic on his arrival
here some results which he had
obtained from precinct polls,
made in many of the so-called
doubtful states. Mack said;
81 am firmly convinced that
Bryan will be elected by a land
slide. Within the last two weeks
/ have caused a careful poll to
be made by captains in hundreds
of precincts in New York, Indi-
ana and Ohio, for the purpose of
obtaining the percentage of re-
publican loss over four years ago.
The results of that poll were
amazing; in no instances have
the reports made, to me shown
the percentage Of republican loss
in this state to be less thaH 25
per cent, and in Erie county loss
es to the repub blicans ran as high
as 40 per cent.
Equally large losses to the
republicans were shown not only
in Ohio and Indiana, but in IL
other states which the two par
ties are contesting. The figures
mean only one thing Bryan's
election by tremendous plural
tiles. That these figures are
correct and based upon a careful
poll is shown from the fact thatI
directed the precinct captains to
submit with their reports the
names Of republicans, with their
addresses who intend to vote for
Bryan. .
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1908-10-22

The Republican newspapers
and speakers make a great hue
and cry, because, they say, the
Democrats do not nominate Con-
federate soldiers to Office. On
our State ticket you will see the
names of DR.. B. F. Dixon for
State Auditor, and Maj. w. A.
Graham ..for I: Commissioner of
Agriculture both gallant Con-
federates and true and tried
friends of the brave men of the
sixties.
You will not find the name of
single Confederate on the Re-
publican State ticket.
The same Republican party
that now says itfavors doubling
pensions voted against the Pen
sion Bill to a man, in 1886. They
did, however, when in power,
elect Abe Middleton, a black
negro, assistant book keeper
over Henry Reitzel, q brave, one
legged Confederate. They did re-
fuse to adjourn the legislature in
honor of Robert E. Lee, and then
adjourned in honor of Fred
Douglass. free negro, who mar

ton City.

ACOlllparisOn

y In his speach, Monday of
I last week, that champion
political topper. w. R. Hen
ry, dwelt long and elo-
quently upon the wonderful
prosperity of the country
during the forty-four years
of republican rule. The
truth is, the country has
prospered in a general way
in spite of republican mis-
! rule.
But for the growth of the
great controlling trusts,
made possible by republican
legislation, and their dam
aging results, there is no
telling what the country
might have achieved in the
way Of progress and pros
perity. Inethe midst of an
unusual era of prosperity
we have witnessed one of
the most stupendous panics
the country has ever expe-
rienced, and our commercial
interests are still staggering
under the effects of it.
Many foreign doors are
closed to our products, and
thousands of willing hands
are idle as a consequence.
The National Democratic
party came into power at a
time when our form Of gov
ernment was an untrled eX-
pertinent in its main feat
res-faced by new prob
lens on every hand mast :
cred untold difficulties, over
came enemies at home and
abroad, and in forty years
presented to the world the
best governmental it had ever
seen and it will require a
decade or so of democratic
rule to get the old ship of
state again headed toward
the haven of permanent
peace and prosperity but
it's coming despite the raw
ings of the pie hunting flop
pers of the Henry type. I
