again make the offer, which he very

A SENATORIAL CANDIDATE.

1t is announced that, in all
probability, Mr.. John C. Mills,
of Rutherfordton, will be one of
the representatives from this dis
trict in the next State senate, as
he is likely to be the choice of
Rutherford county, which virtu-
ally settles the question of his
nomination. Two years ago
Cleveland and Polk furnished
the senator's, In accordance with
the plan of rotation adopted upon
the establishment of the present
district, and the duty of select
ing our representatives. in the
senate next year devolves upon
Rutherford and Henderson.
We are not aware of any oppe-
sition to Mr.. Mills in his county
and he may be assured that Hen
derson viii make no objection to
his nomination. In fact, the
democracy of this county would
be pleased to have an oppor-
tunity to show its appreciation
of so worthy a man, both in point
of ability and from the standpoint
of faithful and efficient party
service. The or that plows the
corn should eat the fodder and
MIR. Mills has never been found
wanting In this regard since he
put his hands to the plow in old
Rutherford several years ago.
We are frank to say that, in our
honest opinion, the nomination
of John C. Mills for the senate
would strengthen the entire dem
ocratic ticket, for all the people
love a fighter and always respect
men of principle. Trimmers
and dodgers should take a back
seat.
Mr.. Mills has long been chair
man of the democratic executive
committee in Rutherford county
and has achieved signal success.
in every campaign. He has new
er sought Office and it is fitting
that his friends should want tc
see him remunerated, In a meas
ure, for the valiant service he
has rendered so cheerfully. 0
course, there are other worthy
democrats IN that good county
but, as we are advised, none o
them expect to contest for thu
place with Mr.. Mills. If the!
should, then the RUTHERFORD
county democrats will be calle'
upon to say whom they shal
have to rule over them" ant

name of Bryan was mentioned he
always felt called upon to speak q
word in his behalf. In conclusion
the distinguished ex-governor's
speech is referred to as follows:
From that hour Democracy was
electrified at the Chicago Convention,
Bryan has been the uncrowned King Of
America and the ideal of altruistc
thought. Bryan has done more for
mankind than any man who has held
Office during the past twenty-five years.
Gov. vycock spokeof the great achieve
ments of Mr. Bryan, his making the peo-
pie think. making great corporations
subject to the laws of state and nation.
Bryan. he said, had written his name as
high on the role Of immortal fame as If
he had been president of the United
States. There is not-a reform, not a
hope for the future, that has not found
q voice in William Jennings Bryan.
Governor Aycock said he was in favor
of MI. Bryan's nomination, and what
the democratic party in Greensboro
joined together cannot by my assent be
separated by its committee"
It is safe to predict that when
the democratic convention meets
in Charlotte on the Oath of June,
there will be little or no oppose
ton to the endorsement of Mr..
Bryan for president, as was done
by the state convention at Green's
boro in 1905. By the time the
Charlotte convention meets Mr..
Bryan will already have been
nominated for president and the
only thing the North Carolina
democracy will be called upon to
do will be to ratify the will of the
other states who have put them
selves on record in favor of the
Great Commoner. The prepond-
GRANGE of sentiment among men,
bers of the committee was decid-
eddy favorably to Mr.. Bryan and
had a straight vote been taken Oh
the Scales resolutions there is no
doubt that the same would have
been adopted by a decisive major
ity. At least ninety per cent of
the democrats of North Carolina
Lare loyal Bryan men and a test
vote in the state convention will
show conclusively that ours is a
rock-Tlbbed Bryan state. 1t Is TO
be regretted that the action of the
committee has been misrepresent-
ed, but such a result might been
expected.
The committee should have
faced the question squarely and
passed Mr.. Scales resolutions.
They were harmless and their
adoption could have resulted in
no hurt to anyone. The appo-
nents of the Nebraskan would
then have been "speechlesB" con-
corning a matter which has since
been distorted into an anti-Bryan
declaration. It does not always
pay to be charitable and "trim-
ming" never results favorably.

lance and consequent expense of
going to Raleigh or Greensboro.
All aboard for Charlotte on June
q, in order to be in good time
for the preliminary proceedings.
1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN EXPECTED
At the meeting of the State
Democratic Executive Committee
held in Raleigh on Wednesday
evening of last week Hon. A. M.
Scales, of Greensboro, introduced
a resolution endorsing William
Jennings Bryan for president and
Chas. B.. Aycock for vice-president.
The resolutions we're not voted
upon, yet, as might have been ex-
pected, some opponents of Mr..
Bryan have construed the action
of the committee to be q severe
blow to the distinguished Nebras-
kan's presidential aspirations and
expressive of the real sentiment
in North Carolina regarding his
candidacy. The fact is, the Scales
resolutions never came to a vote
at all. Taking the position that
the COMMITTEES would be transcend
ing its authority by the endorse
meut of any candidate for Office,
many members expressed regret
that the same had been presented.
Such ardent Bryan supporters as
Messrs. Josephus Daniels, Heriot
lClarkson, Reuben Reid, Chas. B.
Aycock, and many others we could
name, took the position that the
committee had no power to en-
dorse candidates for Office and
favored the reference of the reso-
buttons to the Democratic State
Convention. Mr.. G. O. McMichael,
of Rockingham county, who is
known to be one of the strongest
Bryan men in the state objected
to the passage of the resolutions,
because he said it vas not only
improper for the committee to do
SO, but would be usurping the
, practices of the republican leaders
, of the state. In concluding his
, remarks, Mr.. McMichael intro
!, duced the following substitute fol-
the Scales resolution, which was
adopted by a vote of forty-one tc
thirty-slx:
"Resolved, that it is the sense
: of this committee that it is not
{ within it's province to endorse the
8 candidacy of any candidate,
: National or State"
: Thus it will be g that the
: resolutions introduced by Mr..
Scales were not voted upon at all
: and the substitute offered by Mr..
!. McMichael clearly indicates the
real action of the committee upon
I the proposition. How the result
of the committees final decision
= can be twisted into a rejection OF
0 Mr.. Bryan is surprising. While
many members did not approve OF
the introduction of the resolutions
they felt that they ought to be
passed for the very reasons that
have since become apparent,
namely, that the action of the
committee would be- misunder-
stood. Gov. Aycock advocated
$ the adoption of the resolutions in
a strong, forclble argument, stat
. ing that while this might not be
the proper place to endorse candi-
: dates, since the resolutions had
been offered, it would be a mistake
2 not to adopt them. He also stated
. that he was in no sense a candi-
e date for Yice-president and didnot
