1t is said that Taft will make a special
effort to carry Tennessee. Doubtless he
will. Neither he nor any of his friends
can give any reason why Tennessee
should vote for him. He is a clean
man, but that is no reason why demo-
Gratis should vote for him. The demo-
cratic nominee is also regarded as a
clean, able man. Certainly Taft has no
such superior qualities on this score as
to induce any democrat to vote the re-
publican ticket What are there in the
Taft policies that make him more de-
sirable than Bryan? Bryan's views are
his own. Taft seems to depend largely
on Roosevelt for his policies. Taft
shows no more real conservatism than
Bryan. No Taft supporter can yell at
Bryan as radical. Nobody questions
Bryan's honesty, integrity or exalted
purpose. There is absolutely no ex-
cuse for democrat voting for Taft.
Even though Bryan may not be the
ideal candidate, in the opinion of some
democrats he is more so than he ever
was before and he certainly is as much
an ideal democrat as Taft.
Taft will not carry Tennessee. Here
and there a mistaken democrat may
vote for him, but here and there re-
publican will vote for Bryan. Each will
poll the usual strength of his party. 1t
is nonsense to talk of placing Tennes-
see in the republican column. If Taft
desires G.. n. Tillman to run for gov
ernor it is because he thinks Tillman
will make the strongest candidate and
will therefore assist in carrying the
state for Taft.
Tillman once received the largest
vote for governor ever received by a
republican. The vote that year was
abnormal, and is no indication of what
would occur again with Tillman as a
candidate. Tillman is very capable
debater. But he is no match for Gov.
Patterson. He has hardly the physical
strength to meet the requirements.
There is not the slightest reason why
Patterson should be turned out to make
room for G.. N. Tillman. The voters
will commit no such folly, not even to
maintain the reputation of the house of
Tillman as officeholders.
Let the republicans cut their capers.
Let Mr.. Taft do his best, or worst, Let
Mr.. Tillmau, or Mr.. Wright, or Mr..
Brown, or Mr.. Sanders, go forth in the
vain effort to induce the sane voters OF
Tennessee to turn out Gov. Patterson
and give the state over to a party Of
malodorous record in Tennessee, nc
matter how worthy or respectable per.
sonally its candidate may be, Nash
vile American.

DAY AUG. IL
Program for Ceremony at

on His Speech.

Fairyiew, Lincoln, Neb., July ST.
Today was an uneventful one, only a
small number of visitors going out to
the Bryan home to pay their respects
to the democratic nominee for the pres
idency. In consequence of the few
interruptions, Mr.. Bryan made rapid
Roadway with his speech of acceptance.
He said that it would be completed
Aug. 5. Regarding its possible length,
he stated that ne was unable to esti
mate it at this time.
The program of exercises in connec-
ton with the notification August II
was announced today by Mayor T, W.
Brown, after it had been submitted to
Mr., Bryan for approval. 1t is as fol-

The Democratic Platform.

Several disgruntled papers and few
more disappointed opponents of Gov.
Patterson are poisoning the fountain
head of party obligation and control of
public affair by the concerted action of
the democratic party by disseminating
the false and ruinous doctrine that SEN
ators and representatives who may be
nominated and elected by the voters of
that party and upon its platform are
not in honor bound to observe and car
ry out the convention announced policy
of the party as expressed in the plat
form, and specially that such nominal
ed and elected senators and representa-
tiyes can disregard the local self-gov-
eminent feature in reference to the sale
OF spirits in the three cities to which
the platform plank is applicable, and
substitute their own personal judgment
or local opinion for the deliberate,
thoroughly considered act of the whole
party in convention assembled, after a
full discussion and primary vote in adj
vance of the convention.
A more treacherous and demoraliz.
ing theory to destroy all party faith and
nullify the democratic party pronounce.
ment on any subject, and to render
void party concert of action and deter
mination of issues, was never devised
in the history of politics in this state,
and never before did any acquiescing
minority, which participated in the pri.
mary, and later in the convention,
without bolt, find itself 80 brazenly
and shamelessly misad vised and mis-.
represented as by these impudent and
constituencies counsellors. That the
great minority for which they pretend
to speak, and which they would lure
into treacherous antagonism, for the
party ruin, despise such counsel and
will repudiate it is already evident from
the little impression these malcontents
are making, but it is to rescue the few
who may be mislead that the American
is impelled to speak thus plainly.
The nominees of the party will run
on its platform. 1t is to be assumed
that they will all be honorable men sad
an honorable aspirant for party support
can do no less than this. Whatever the
personal views of a candidate may be,
when he goes before his democratic
constituents for support, he will do sc
upon his party platform. If he finds
any whom these mischievous renegades
have misled, Or others whose intoleran'
disregard of party action shall seek tC
demand as the price of their support
that he shall violate his party pledge
and trample upon his party platform al
the price of their support, he will say
to them that their support is too dearly
purchased at the price of his persona
honor and party loyalty.
1t is no longer a question of the viii
or wish of this or that individual mem
Der or members of the party. TIL,
question is settled by the party char
upon which he seeks the general sui
frage. If they are not for him they ar,
against the party, and if they arr
against the party they can not be TO

He Enjoys the Support of the

Mir. Gompers in his report defends his action in attempting to throw the influence of the federation of labor in favor of the national democratic can didates. After reviewing the fruitless struggle before congress, the report says:
 When congress adjourned, after so shamelessly refusing to accord the workers the relief and the rights upon which they had set their hearts and hopes, the feeling became still more tense among the great rank and file of labor. The executive council then decided to appeal from the action of congress to the representatives of the two great political parties in conven- ton assembled.

These cost immense sums of money, and the children are not greatly benefited by the expenditure. On the contrary, an institution child is so rarely a success that the ex- ception eXcites comment. The re- formatory child too often becomes the criminal man, declares Rheta Childe Dorr in the course of her article. The Wreck of the Home" in Hampton's Broadway Magazine for November.

THE STIMULATING EFFECT
Which MT. F. M. Murphy Be- lieves the Succeeding Re- organization Will Have on MiEingIndustry in Northern and Western Arizona.

Mir. F. M. Murphy arrived in the city yesterday morning from a trip through the Parker country. He was on his way to Tombstone and other points in the southern part of the territory where he is interested. Soon after he came he was informed that Judge Rice. the receiver for the Arizona Smelting company and the principal eastern claimants against the com pany had arr:vcd at Prescott fo- the sale O. the Humboldt shelter which will take place at noon today. Mr Murphy accordingly changed his plans and left in the afternoon for Prescott to be of any assistance he might in an adjustment Of the affairs of the com pany
 Mir. Murphy believes that the re- ceiver's sale will be followed by great advantages to Yavapai county and all the country along the A X C. road, from the stimulation which will be given to the mining industry within the sphere of influence of the shelter.
 Tn the opinion Of Mir Murphy the resumption of operations will not be long delayed. There will of course, have to be a reorganization and then certain repairs will have to be made to the shelter but neither of these things will be very time consuming. The assurance of an early opening of

the smelter will in itself furnish a stimulation.
 Mir. Murphy is very much pleased with the outlook along the A. & C. and in the Bill Williams country which he believes is destined to be a great min ing region. He is most hopeful of the early future of it. He is also hopeful that he may be able to greatly as- sist its development in additional rail- road building and he is equally hope ful of being able to complete early the A & c. to Bengal thus furnishing the western end of the transcontinental line through Phoenix.
 In connection with the receivers sale today E. G. Hathorn represent ing l.. Vogelstein and company of New York and Germany came in from the south yesterday morning on his way to Prescott. His company will prob ably be identified with the future operations of the Humboldt shelter.
