iterated his Charge that Mr.. Taft was

Regarding the issuance of writs of
injunction, Mr.. Bryan quoted Mr..
Taft as saying that the democratic
plank with regard to that question
was loosely drawn, and that 1t was
capable OF two constructions.

tanned 1t was because they dare NOT

Discussing the question of the is
suance of writs of injunction, Mr..
Bryan said that tine bill the demo

senate twelve years ago and that it
had had the support OF Senators
Sherman, Of Ohio; Allison. or Iowa,
Hale, of Maine; Hawley, of Connectl,
cut, and Morrill,, of Vermont Il will
leave Mr.. Taft to explain his stand
or that of prominent republicans
and l will deal with the principles
involved"
Mr.. Bryan assured his audience
that he did not wish them to think
that the democratic party had taken
their position on the labor question,
simply to curry favor with the la
boring man." 1t was. he said, a mat
ter Of justice, and he was glad to pre-
sent the doctrine to the farmers of
Nebraska, as well as the laboring
men of West Virginia
Speaking OF the trusts and the fail
ure of President Roosevelt to send
any trust magnate to the peniten-
tiary, Mr.. Bryan said that IL a siren
uous president would not take such
action. how long would it take a man
like Judge Taft to get a man in the
penitentiary?'
Two Arguments for Taft
1t was, he said, no reflection on
Judge Taft to make that statement,
"for I ann getting down in the neigh
borhood where his friends make that
argument in mis- favor. You know 1t
makes a great deal OF difference
where you are as to what kind OF an
argument you make. On the republi-
can side out in our country they pic
ture MI. Taft as looking exactly like
Mr.. Roosevelt, but down East they
him as looking very different
Mr.. Roosevelt. Out West they
say he win try to carry out the work
OF Roosevelt. and down East they
say. Keep still until he gets In and
you will see.'"
Out in the West, Mr.. Bryan added,
Mr.. Taft was running on the amend
ments he has added to the republican
platform. -but down East he is run
ming on his platform"
The democratic plan, he declared,
went to the root of the matter.

Speak for Republicans.

Friends for Republicans. Settles
Speech Not SO Good.

Last Tuesday night was a red
letter occasion for Durham coun-
ty Republicans when they as
sembled at the Academy of Music
to near the issues discussed by
Messrs. Settle Cox and Morehead.
Tie auditorium was full and
many Were standing up in the
alSles when the hour arrived for
the speaking to begin, and the
crowd were enthusiastic.
Hon. Thomas Settle, elector for
the state, was not present at the
beginning, but it was announced
that he would come in as he was
on his way to Durham by special
train. The special train arrived
a little after eight o'clock and
Dir. Settle arrived at the Aca-
deny a few moments later.
When mir. Settle enterd he was
given an ovation by the crowd
that were listening to the speech
of Mr.. Cox.
Mr.. Cox was the first speaker
and he was presented by Mr..
John c. Angler, of this city.
While the speech of Mr.. Cox
was not what political gatherings
were used to, manner and de-
livery impressed his hearers that
he is what has often said of him:
an upright citizen and clever
gentlemen.
After the speech of Mr.. Cox,

crowd until the end. One or
more that heard the speech OF
Mr.. Settle remarked that it was
their opinion that the cause
would have been better off had he
remained away. However, the
Republicans were pleased with
his speech as a whole. and his
utterances were cheered by them.
During the speech-making an
alarm of fire was sent in and Mr..
J. c. Angler, who was on the
rostrum, remarked that it was a
Democratic false alarm to get
the crowd away from the hall.
IL proved to be a false alarm sent
in from the corner of Roxboro

Benton and Barton

In the Thirty Years In the United
States Senate" by Thomas Hart Ben
ton, Missouri's famous United States
senator, there is scant mention of Ben
toms colleague from Missouri, David
Barton. The only place in which his
name occurs is where Senator Benton
gives the roll call Of the senate, and
Barton's name Of course is therein
contained. Benton undertook to pun
ish Barton by ignoring him and thus
relegate the first United States sena-
tor from Missouri to oblivion. Barton
had brought about Benton's election to
the senate. Barton was first named by
the legislature, and there was a long
contention as to the second senator
ship. Finally Bartons friendship for
Benton brought about Benton's elec-
ton. Later the two quarreled over the
appointment Of an Indian agent in the
far west and drifted further and fur
ther apart. Finally the relations be-
tween the two senators became such
that they scarcely spoke to one an
other when they met.-Kansas City
