Combination.

Also Talked Of.

Washington, March 16.-The latest
drift of sentiment among the leaders
of what is known as the Bryan wing
of the Democratic party is in favor of
the combination of Judson Harmon, of
Cincinnati, for Vice President on the
Democratic ticket. Next to Harmon
more talk is heard at this time of
John w. Kern, of Indianapolis, than
of any other Vice Presidential guam
tity.
A formidable movement looking 10
the nomination Of Harmon is develop
ing. Some of Mr.. Bryan's closest
friends, upon whom he relies for coun-
sci, Lave figured out to their own COM
plete satisfaction that the nomination
of Harmon would be the most judic-
ious selection that could be made. The
two reasons given for this preference
for Harmon are as follows:
First--His nomination would tend
to conciliate what is known as the
Cleveland or gold Democratic wing Of
the party.
Second-Becanse of the fight among
Ohio Republicans growing out of the
States Endorsement of Republican
Presidential candidate, it is urged

hard on clothing, especially leath-
err shoes. Your shoes will be put away
at night clean and bright, and next
morning they will be covered with
mildew, which rots the leather Near
ly every one here wears cloth shoes,
and even then the leather soles rot
away Heavy clothing Of all sorts is
out of place here. White is the pre-
vailing color for both men and women
and most OF the goods worn is cotton,
consequently cheap. The natives wear
as few clothes as the law allows, and
back in the interior children run stark
naked until they are from IL to 16
years old.
There are but three hotels which
give good accommodations, and at all
other boarding places one finds but
meager supplies of food other than
rice and fish. Native fruits are
abundant, but foreigners will do well
to est sparingly of them, for many
of the tropical diseases which attack
whites come from eating too much
fruit. Bananas are plentiful, and some
of fine flavor, but most of the fruits
are strange to the American, and he
eats of them as he would of apples,
peaches and pears, and suffers from
dysentery and similar maladies.-[By

VIRGINIA GROWERS
Meet and Adopt PIans-DepIOre
Night Rider Outrages
In Kentucky.

Danville, Va, March 20.-The Bright
Tobacco Growers Protective Associa-
don of Virginia and North Carolina,
with an attendance of several hundred
delegates, adopted plans and raised
funds for a continuance of the fight
against the American Tobacco Com
pany, by which it proposes to secure
higher prices for the product The
aim of the association is to do away
with selling tobacco at public auction
on the warehouse floor, by forming
a pool and holding the product until
prices that are fixed by special COM
mittee are obtained.
President H. o. Kerns, interstate
organizer, s. G. Adams and others
made addresses, in which they urged
organization. The raids by the might
riders" in Kentucky were deplored.
The speakers urged that the farmers
present a united front rather than re-
sort to any violence.
The association charges that the
American Tobacco Company fixed it's
own prices for tobacco.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1908-03-25

that the nomination of an Ohioan on
the Democratic national ticket might
give that State to the Democrats.
Some of Mr.. Bryan's most conf
Dental advisers are pointing out that
he can afford to be magnanimous to-
ward the gold Democrats who have
opposed him in former campaigns and
who dominated the Democratic ma
tional convention of 1904. The nomi-
nation of Harmon, these men say,
would go long way toward healing
the breach. The good politics of nom
mating an Ohio Democrat for Vice
President this year also is being urged
strongly upon Mr.. Bryan. Harmon
has long had Presidential ambitions,
but it is believed that he would con-
sent to run for second place on the
ticket with Mr. Bryan.
John w. Kern's Vice Presidential
stock is being quoted high in the po-
litical exchanges. Next to Harmon,
he is receiving the most mention at
present. II Indiana gives him its
solid Endorsement, as now seems like
ly, his boom will take on a national
aspect and it undoubtedly will become
formidable. A good many Democratic
leaders think that Indiana, while prob
ably not as good foraging ground aS
Ohio this year, is at least debata-
BILE State. They argue that the nom
ination of Mr.. Kern for Vice-President
might help to give the Democrats
hold on Indiana.
Mr.. Kern's candidacy, unlike that
cf Mr.. Harmon would not win any
sympathy from the gold Democrats,
for Mr. Kern, since 1896, has looked
at political questions through the same
sort of spectacles that Mr.. Bryan
wears

Bob TaylOr's Latest.

Just at this juncture, when finances
when we have six hundred millions
worth of cotton to sell and millions
of bushels of wheat and millions of
bushels of corn, and cattle on a thous-

the hands of the producers, and when
the consumers are powerless to buy,

AWARDED $3.50
FOR WOUNDED LOVE
GoLDMAN's STORY THAT HIS
FIANcEE WAS AN ANARCHIST
DOESN'T GO WITH JURY.

Mary Dubnov. the Russian Jewess
who brought action for damages
against Alex Goldman, alleging that he
broke his oft-repeated promise To
marry her. was awarded $3.50 by u
jury In Judge Rohnert's court, Tues.
cay morning. The verdict was reach
ed after the jury had deliberated about
two hours.
Miss Dubnov sued for $4,000, alleg-
ing that after strenuous courtship
on the part Of Alex. she finally con-
scented to marry him. and that several
times she was introduced as his be-
trothed. and referred to by his parents
as daughter"
Goldman's defense was that his
fiancee was anarchistic In her beliefs,
and frequently spoke to him of the
awful condition of affairs In America
where policemen were allowed and
where rich people lived In large
houses.
Miss Dubnov denied holding any
such beliefs. and said that Alex often
told her he was going to be a police
man. fact which pleased her very
much as she admired the uniforms.
Miss DuSnov was represented In
court by Louis Wolfe and George H..
