BOTH PARTIES DISORGAN-
lied.
Former Senator David B. Hill
Hands Out Some Plain Politi-
cal Talk,

NcAA oAAs
New York Dispatch, llth.
David B. Hill. former United
States Senator and for a long
time leader of the Democratic
party in this State, sailed for
Europe to-day on the steamer
Baltic. Discussing his retire
ment from active politics, Mr..
Hill said:
There is no Democratic party.
When | met the late Governor
Altgeld in a little room up a
back stairs in a Chicago hotel
shortly before the first so-called
Bryan convention, | told him
that the policies which he repre-
sented would drive the Demo-
cratic party to hell. Then when he
begged for another try four years
later, l said: You are most
there; stop before you have alb
solutely ruined the party But
Bryan was nominated, as | saw
the futility of a minority report
with only ten votes to back me.
Il admit that the Republican
party is badly disorganized at
the present time. Both parties
are disorganized. There was an
opportunity, but fear that it
has been overlooked.
THE key of this political cam
paign should be Taft, the can
didate of political patronage.
What else is he? He is put be-
fore the people as a candidate by
the power of political patronage.
Nov both sides in the com,
ing political struggle will have tC
go to the masses for their votes
They must draw from the mass
es, and what better man coulC
stand against the candidate rep
resenting the power of patron
age, than John johnson, wht
spent his boyhood days in a coun
ty poor house? Think of it
Torchlight professions with ban
T ners reading John Johnson, tn,
POor-House Candidate. AM
from what l have been able t.
learn, Mr.. Johnson is more thai
a mere near-to-the-people candi
date; he is a well-balanced MAJ
and an able man.
Every time Bryan says
keep the faith,' it makes m
smile. He has kept the faith
indeed! He kept it out in Ne
: braska, his own State, which i
now Republican to its politics
y core.
r THE Democratic party neve
n wanted Mr.. Bryan; Mr.. Brya
: wanted the Democratic party
q He forced himself on the part
a in 1896 and again on what We
p left of the party in 1900 and no
: in 1908 he calls himself the Den
l ocratic party and says I hay
e kept the faith. "

How Much More of Mr.. Bryan?

Charlotte Observer,
The June issue of The Worlds
Work, editorially, has it this
way:
Mr.. Bryan has continued to
go counter to precedents and nor
NAL calculations by remaining
the strongest candidate for the
Democratic nomination, while he
has shown that he will be the
weakest candidate for the
presidency. The smaller the
chance of his election, the surer
his nonination seems tC be. The
strangest part Of this strange
career is that the stronger the
| opposition to aim becomes among
the masses of his party, the surer
the leaders Of the party seem OF
nominating him. =
It seems almost certain that
/ the Democratic party Will
permit Mr.. Bryan to lead il
to practical extinction; and this
may be the best method at last tc
go about getting new start witt
a fresh courage, with new lead
ers, with fixed principles. "
! practical extinction "-this il
certainly not undertaking the
case. If the afflicted party mus
be ridden nearly to death by Mr.
Bryan before getting rid of hi
ownership, and then enter upol
a process Of re-vitalization, an,
newer and better day cannO
come at all soon. Nineteen-siX

long illness which began in 189

ROOSEVELT'S EARLY CA

His Belief That There Was No
Political Future For Him.

Real light on Mr.. Roosevelt is
shed by a private letter which
has come into our hands, and
which has more personality than
many of the Presidents longer

State of New York, Assembly
Chamber, Albany, April 80, 1884
Dear Mr.. North: l wish to
write you a few words just to
thank you for your kindness
toward me, and to assure you
that my head will not be turned
by Whal we'll know was a main
ly accidental success. Although
not a very old man, | have yet
lived a great deal in my life, and
| have known sorrow too bitter
and Joy too keen, to allow me to
become either cast down or elat-
ed for more than a very brief
period over any success or de-
feat.
l have very little expectation
of being able to keep in politics
my success so far has only been
won by absolute Indifference as
to my future career; for | doubt
if any one can realize the bitter
and venomous hatred with
which l am regarded by the very
politicians who, at Utica, sup.
ported me, under dictation from
masters who were Influenced by
political considerations that were
national and not local in theil
scope.
| realize very thoroughly thu
absolutely ephemeral nature O
the hold | have upon the people
and the very real and positive
hostility | have excited anon!
the politicians. | will not sta,
in public life unless l can do S,
, on my own terms, and my ideal
:, whether lived up to or not, i
rather a high one.
= For very many reasons l Wi
not mind going back into privat
life for few years. My wor
: this winter has been very haras
ing, and l feel both tired an
, restless. For the next fe7
! months l shall probably be i
Dakota, and | think shall spen

the far West or in the gre;

Men Suggested for General AS
sembly- Commissioners Should
be Reelected.

To the Editor of The Robesonian.
Dear Sir,-The time is draw
ing near when the people of the
county will again have to say
whom they wanttoserve them for
TWO more years, and as a citizen
of the county | have been watch
ing the political movement and
after having felt the pulse of a
large number of the citizenship
as to their preference for the leg
islature and county officers, l
wish to present the names of the
following men, whom we con-
slider we'll and fully qualified to
discharge the duties belonging
to the respective positions. |
wish to suggest the names of
curtain ones for the Senate and
| House. ] think we should send
representative men to the cap
ital city to look after the interests
of our county. These men should
have a wide acquaintance over
the State and should be we'll in
formed about all public matters.
| cannot think of any more suit
able man for the Senate from
this county than ex-Sherifl
George B. Mcleod. The sheriff
has been long in public life anC
knows all the public men of oul
State, and would represent the
county to advantage. The
same reasons apply to M. L.
Marley and Prof. M. Shepherd
for the House. This would give
representation to both sections O.
the county and they are botl
good men.
So far as the commissioner
are concerned, | think we shoulC
= by all means retain the same
= board. | have always heard i
;. said that it is dangerous t.
= swap horses while crossing
= stream" The court house il
. now under way and these gen
e tlemen have other work which i
!. unfinished to perform. No bet
E ter men can be found than J. W
: Carter, A. R. McEachern, {. A
: Oliver, A. L. Bullock and d. S
II Alderman. These men are S
= scattered over the county tina
g every section would be repre-
% % sented. They are all among ou
y y foremost business men and hav
Il made a success in their own a
fairs. They are the kind of me
;e to manage the affairs of tt
q county.

Fall River, Mass, Dispatch, 18th.
After a long search tonight
the bodies of Joseph and Andre
Beaudry,8 and 5 years old, respec-
lively, were found locked in a
trunk in which the children are
supposed to have hidden them
selves in order to escape going
to school this morning. The
