REPUBLICAN THE NEGRO
PARTY.
Charleston News and Courier

Charleston News and Courier
To begin with, the Republican par
ty is the negro party in American
politics and that fact cannot be
wiped out or brushed aside. There
fore the Democratic ticket for Presi-
dent and Vice. president must be sup
ported and ought to be elected. Any
Democratic nominee for President,
though he we're a dreamer and fool
would stand for decency and against
depravity in governmental affairs so
far as the South is concerned.
VOTE THE TICKET.
Richmond News-Leader.
Mr. Bryan is the nominee OF the
Democratic party for President. Let
every anti-Bryan Democrat in Vir-
ginia determine to do the part OF a
sensible man and patriotic citizen,
vote for the ticket, work for it and
contribute his fair share of money
for its support.
THE VERY STRONGEST CHAM
PION.
Petersburg Index Appeal.
There is no reason to doubt that
the Democratic party has put it's
standard in the hands of the very
strongest champion in it's ranks and
if he cannot win in the campaign OF
1908, no one else can. He is not
only the strongest candidate the
party can nominate this year, but
he is the strongest one that the party
could have nominated.
The Denver ticket and platform
are strong in all essentials, and from
them we confidently augnr the hap
piest results for the Democracy next
November.
THE STRONGEST TEAM.
st. Louis Republic.
Willialu Jennings Bryan of Nebras-
ka, and John Worth Kern Of In
diana, make up as strong team as
the Democratic party could have en-
tered for the Presidential race. 1t
possesses the merit somewhat un-
usual that the candidate for the
Vice Presidency has the confidence OF
his party SO fully that no appehen-
sion would be felt if he should be
called to the. Presidency.
STRONGER THAN IN 1896 OR
1900.
New York journal of Commerce.
The worst enemy of William Jen-
nings Rryan must admit that he
goes before the people in 1908 i'm
measurably stronger than in 1896 or
1900. He has clearly broadened and
grown more conservative, while the
people meantime have, on the whole,
grown perceptibly more radical-a
circumstance which brings them more
closely together. How near together
they really are only election day can
tell.
THERE SHOULD BE A CHANGE.
Charlotte Observer.
The Observer can promise no ex-
cess of zeal in this campaign for it
has little heart in it. 1t only prom
ises not to be an insurgent. Present
day Democratic politics is not to its
notion. Republican politics is less
so, and there should be a change in
the administration of national al
fairs.
That is ALL
ALLDEMOCRATS SHOULD
RALLY.
Wilmington Star.
Bryan and Kern is the Democaatic
ticket and all Democrats should raj
ly to the standard of the party's
nominees. The people in this State
know enough about the man in the
first place to feel satisfied that his
running mate from the State of
Indiana is the right kind for them to
support though he is not near so
we'll known.
EVERY DEMOCRAT TO WORK.
Roanoke Times.
We have had our party differences
with regard to the advisabilisy of
nominating Mr.. Bryan to head the
National ticket, but these differences
were subject to the action OF the
| DeluOcFdllC COuEcuClOU. iQdG con-
vention has spoken in no uncertain
terms in favor of Mr.. Bryan, which
makes it the duty of every Demo-
crat to pull off his coat, roll up his
sleeves and go to work for the
ticket
MR.. BRYAN WILL WIN.
Florida Times Union.
| We believe Mr.. Bryan will win.
The Times Union does not approve
all OF Mr.. Bryan's ideas but, taking
them as whole, it considers them
immeasurably superior to those
which would triumph if Mr.. Taft
were elected. Few men are ever per-
fectly satisfied with the views of any
candidate or the principles on which
he is running. 1t is needless to say
that We will support Mr.. Bryan with
all of our strength and if in some re-
spects we do not agree with him we
will let such questions lie in silence
Until they can be discussed without
disloyalty to the Democratic ticket.
Just Exactly Right.
