peated declarations and instructions of the American Federation of Labor at many of its conventions, some of which I have quoted, it devolves upon you, the duly constituted representa- tives of the men of labor of our country you who come here and who have been in immediate and constant touch with the toilers of America. it is for you to say whether the course pursued, to stand faithfully by our friends and elect them, oppose our enemies and defeat them, whether they be candidates for president. for congress, or other offices, is justified, and meets with your approval or your condemnation.
 "The men of labor realize that our liberties as workers and as citizens are threatened; that our industrial efforts to work for labor's rights and interests upon natural and rational lines are outlawed, and that if it is the desire and aspiration of American toilers to work along these peaceful. natural lines of historic development, these rights and liberties must be re- stored.
 
 be up and doing. Their action should be consistent, persistent and insistent
 Some over zealous partisans, and particularly our opponents, for pur- pose, have declared that I am a demo- crat and have always been a demo- crat It may not be necessary to make this explanation to you, but to correct any error now or of the fu- ture, I desire to emphasize the fact that though many years ago I counted myself a republican,, I have not been and am not now a democrat, that is. in a partisan sense- l owe allegiance to no political party. So far as in my power lies, and in the light given me, I have always without fear of personal consequences endeavored to perform my duty to my fellow work CTS. to my fellowman.
 The American labor movement is not partisan to a political party: it is partisan to a principle, the prin- ciple of equal rights and human free dom.
 When this report is being written, October 30, the immediate results of the election of November 3, are, of course, unknown. but this one fact stands out clear, and can never here after be disputed; that is, that the presidential and compression election of 1908 has been contested upon the fundamental principles for which la bor and the liberty loving citizens contend; that is, equality before the law, human freedom.
 'The vague notions regarding labor's demands have been dissipated and replaced by sound knowledge as to the historic and logical principles upon which they are based-indeed. the very denunciation of labor's de- mands by interested candidates and by the hostile press, has accelerated as well as concentrated public atten- tion upon our movement.
 You can readily understand that it is most unwise at this writing to indulge myself in prophecy, but I hold
Arizona republican., 1908-11-10

that no matter what the result. great moral victory has been won. and no one can deny that our cam paigh has conspicuOusly brought be- fore the attention of the people the fundamental principles upon which our movement is based. The voice of labor has been heard. It can no longer be dismissed with a con- temptuous shrug of the shoulder
 The movement of labor through ! the ages has been struggle for jus tice. It is founded upon truth. and truth is eternal. Our cause needs but to be understood to win and hold the sympathetic, patriotic support of the right principled men.
 Tt is additionally interesting to know that a large mass of the un-l organized workers has been in entire accord with their organized fellow workers in this campaign, and that considerable portion of them has become imbued with the conviction to make common cause with us with in the beneficent fold of unionism.
 Now, I desire to address myself to a feature to which it seems your attention should be called. Severe criticism has been launched against some, true, not many, but still some of the men in our movement who. for reasons good enough for themselves, have not been in entire accord with the campaign as conducted by the American Federation of Labor
 Our conventions have frequently declared that our movement has neither the right nor the desire to dictate how a member shall cast his vote. It has been my privilege and honor always so to insist. I have not departed. and can not now, de- part from that true trade union course. At the Minneapolis cOnven- ton the following declaration was adopted:
 I've must have with us in OUT economic movement men of all par tiesas well as of all creeds. and the minority right of the humblest man to vote where he pleases and to wor- ship where his conscience dictates must be sacredly guarded
 That solemn and binding declara- tion is the guarantee to every mem- Der of our organized movement; and though it be true that now, as never before in the history of the labor movement of our country have the people been so practically unanimous in their determination to make the contest for justice and right and freedom as in the campaign which will have come to a close before I submit this to you, yet if there were not but one man in all our movement who chose for himself to vote and cast his lot contrary to the practi- cally unanimous determination of the great rank and file, that is a right which our movement can not and must not deny him. This fact I, can not refrain from recording; that so far as concerns any action which I may have taken during the cam paign, it has been far within the limit of aggressiveness as exempli-

The Denver Convention.
Phila Record July Z,

fnlla Record July Z,
The Democratic National Conven-
ton will meet today in Denver under
most hopeful auspices. There is every
indication that the issues on which the
party has been divided for the past doz-
en- years years have been thoroughly
buried, and that the candidate selected
by the convention will have the united
support of the party.
Prosperity has been a much-exploited
asset Of of the Republican party. With
last years panic fresh in the public
mind it will be difficult to impose upon
the voters the notion that the Repub-
lican party is the author and creator of
good times.
There is every indication that Mr..
Bryan will be nominated. His popu-
larity is %undeniable. The Republicans
know that there an ethusiasm for him
that there is not for any other man
in the Democratic party. In years past
he has been opposed by 1.-THE Record,
and by many Democrats because of his
views on the coinage and his general
radicalism. The coinage question is
settled. 1t is as dead as secession and
slavery. His general radicalism is not
greater than that of Mr.. Roosevelt.
whose policies Mr.. Taft is pledged to
perpetuate. The President has pre-
pared the public mind for Mr. Bryan.
Ii the President is right Mr.. Bryan is
his logical successor, and the proba
bilities now are strong that he will sue
cede him.

The United Democracy.
From The New York Press

III Z u
Never in the history of the Demo-
cratic party has a contest within its
ranks ended in a convention so har-
monious as the one which will give
William Jennsngs Bryan his third NOM
nation for the Presidency.
Against the irresistible demand OF
three-fourths of the delegates the voice
Of the overwhelmed minority has faded
away to hardly a whisper. The feeble
protest of the men who rode over Bry-
an four years ago has now been sub
stantially withdrawn 10y the man they
nominated then, and in advance of the
convention Alton B, Parker pledges his
hearty support to the Nebraskan and
his program.
Warning elements of the party on
every hand have been conciliated. The
deepest wounds have been healed.

The State Normal School.

The academic year just closed has been
Tor the state schools one of success in
every respect, and in some respects has
been the most successful year of their
history. The enrollement in the Normal
school was 554, an increase of 81 over that
of last year. The number of four years.
high school graduates in the enrolment
was an increase of 81 over that of last
year.
The enrolment in the Model school was
Gil, and that of the Farnum Preparatory,
1877, a grand total of 1872, or "A more
than that of last year.
The Normal school graduated in the
two and three year courses OF February
and June 204 students, and in June grad
uated 3 fourth year course students and
issued certificates in the individual music
courses, Is in piano and 5 in voice cul-
ture.
The classes contained college graduates
as well as those from the various high
schools of the state. Many of the men,
bers of these classes specialized in the
various departments. such as kindergart-
en-, physics, English, etc. An unusual
number of the members OF the class
ranked high.
All Of the members Of the February
class were practically engaged to teach
at the time of their graduation, and more
than two-thirds of the members of the
June class were engaged before their
graduation, Notwithstanding the fact that
nearly three months remain before the
opening of the schools in September.
The average monthly salary was in. adj
vance Of that of any previous year. The
salary received by men teachers should
encourage more men to take up the work
of teaching.
The progress made in the various de-
partments of the school was marked. Es-
pecially was this apparent in the depart
ments of music and the applications OF
the sciences such as botany and zoology
to the respective industries, as in the
study Of the scales, the fungus growths,
ETC., that are destroying the trees and
shubbery.

feated at the polls. Taken off a steam
CT at Quarantine, he was escorted by
marching clubs, and mounted police
through the streets Of New York, lined
with cheering thousands.
In his initial speech after his return
he limited at a possibility Of a new
creed for Democracy-govermental
ownership-and WAS at once attacked
by many of the big men of his party,
including such as Senator Daniel, OF
Virginia. Steadily maintaining his
own views in the face of opposition, he
said he was willing to leave the matter
to the people for their consideration.
Since his return Bryan has devoted
most of his energies to lecturlng
throughout the country. This is a typl-
cal Bryan day; Up at 7 a. m. from a
long railway ride, greets a reception
committee, eats breakfast, makes a
speech to a student body at $50, meets
a party central committee at 10, at ~.
Is addresses a big audience in a church
OF town hall, follows this with a talk to
an overflow meeting, has lunch at l
D.. M, then away OH a train for a lOO
mile Jump with half a dozen speeches
Ell route; speaks at $3.50 in the open aar
to a crowd of several thousand, makes
another railroad jump of fifty miles,
has dinner, is given a public reception,
talks to reporters, delivers a church adj
| dress and at midnight is OF by rail.
The Bryan of tOo-day is as much
more serious man than that of twelve
| years ago. He has developed and
broadened out, but he never admits he
was wrong then. ''Time has proven
were were right" is the way he puts it
when asked why he abandoned free
silver, imperialism revision OF the tariff
and other factors of the political equa-
tion,. and he is quick to resent the
| charge that the one aim in his life is to
| be a perpetual candidate" He in
| sIsts that he has demonstrated that he
can become influential in politics with
out departing from high molal stand
ards, without power to reward, money
to buy influence, or patronage to dis
pose.
In one particular it would seem the
Bryan Of to-day differs more than III
any other of the Bryan of 1896. He is
willing to comprise. Years ago he
would not bend. 1t was ''tlen my
will" or nothing. Now he listens to
others and sometimes admits they know
more about the the subject matter than
he himself does.
Bryan himself best explains the
change in his makeup. In discussing
public matters not long ago, he said
"When l started out in politics, | used
to think that all good was condensed
in my own party, and all evil in the
other; but as L have become better
acquainted, l have found so many bad
Democrats and so many good Republi-
CAM that l have become more chart

mas things, it's very pretty de-
corations and it's atmosphere"
of bookishness, is a delightful
place to spend a half-hour, and
as one lady recently remarked,
its showing of Christmas goods
is far superior to any she had
seen in Asheville. And that the
goods are sold at far lower
prices than the same quality may
be precared in Asheville goes
with out the saying. For instance
in the window of Mr.. Pless's
store are some very beautifully
bound books, padded edition"
of the poets, they are called, you
know. The prices were: So. SO,
$1.5O and S1.OO, and they have
been reduced to $1.50, $1.OO, and
rs cents. Then there are a few
delightful limp leather books, for
the library reading table, with
hand painted covers, at the same
prices; really, these are the most
remarkable bargains we have
seen, but Mr.. Pless believes in
giving bargains as a means Of
increasing his business.
