Minnesota Man Will Have
Third of Vote, His
Friends Claim.
FOLK is FAVORED
FOR SECOND BALLOT
Believed Nebraskan's Followers
Will Dictate Nomination
Even If They Lose.

Some confidential advices have come
10 Washington from the claim agents
Of the Johnson Presidential boom. in
which Il Is persistently and confidently
insisted that johnson will have more
than one-third Of the delegates; that
Bryan VIII not be nominated; and that
II johnson is rdled out, because Of the
enmity for him which the Bryan men
VIII feel, because OF his leadership OF
the anti-Bryan movement. then Folk,
OF Missouri, VIII be the likely nominee.
The epringing Of something Ike a boom
for Folk Is an entirely new aspect OF
the situation
The Johnson people calculate thus:
Johnson Is going 10 have nearly all
OF Pennsylvania Guney will be count
ed Oh 10 attend 10 that, and much con-
hdeace Is expressed that he Will ac-
complish his ends. Florida IS claimed
10 have been lost 20 Bryan, a majority
of the delegates apparently being for
Johnson. It's primary will be held June
4, and the Johnson people hope 70 get
it's delegation.
Johnson's Claim.
Altogether. the johnson claim. as pre-
scented yesterday. was that Of the dele
gates so far selected. Bryan has 40 and
the entire opposition 260. On this basis.
Bryan cannot be named on first ballot.
It mast be first ballot or not at all,
IN the opinion OF the anti-Bryan peo-
pie. The Bryan forces themselves are
fearful that this reasoning is correct.
They know that Democrats in Congress;
the national party leaders; the men,
who because Of acquaintance and
standing and party service, are in posi-
ton 10 manage and manipulate the con-
veRtion after it meets-these men are
against Bryan. and win use every Ct
fort 10 prevent his nomination after
first ballot.
The Johnson people think there IS
i excellent chance 20 defeat Bryan. They
are not at all certain that Johnson
would be the nominee If Bryan failed,
and some OF their freely admit It.
viii Dictate Nominee.
They say that the Bryanites VIII be
able to dictate the nominee, If they
| fail 10 name the Nebraskan. Naturally,
] Johnson will be persona non grata vita

/ would never have been an anti Bryan
I fight but for the Johns on movement
/ Therefore, when It comes 10 selecting

viii be IN bad odOr.
| This Is where Folk comes in. Missouri,

not make anything Ike a landslide AZ

But when that time comes, Folk Is

nan most dangerous TO them.

The dominating point of interest in the musical season. is tfe great event on Tuesday evening at the Arizona School of Music. when the Phoenix Choral Society under the direction of Thomas Francis Hughes will present the famous oratorio by Handel Mes siah."

THE WRECK OF A NEST.

Governor Kibbey at his convention last Saturday felt at liberty to speak with a freedom which frequently amounted to recklessness. Just as one with a sense of proprietorship and at homeness is apt to do.
 In the course of his remarks he stated that this fight over instructions was not begun by him and his asso- ciates but by The Opposition, The Ari- zona Republican and Hon. Robert l.. Morrison who in an interview had de- nounced as ingrates those who might favor instructions as against Senator Foraker.
 Opposition is never offered to a thing before it's existence in maturity or in embryo. It is a well known fact that the instruction scheme was hatch ing for months before The Republican opposed it. The eggs were set as long ago as last July when Messrs. Garfield and Hitchcock visited Arizona in the course Of a tour of the country in the interest of Rooseveltian politics. At the time of setting it was not sure by he "setters'' whether the eggs would produce Taft or Roosevelt delegates.
 The Republican offered no objection to this ovarian enterprise and paid no further attention to it than to apprise the public that the hen was on. There was no hint of impropriety. no expres- sion of opinion.
 Later word reached this office that the territorial administration was counting the chickens. though the period of incubation was not yet pass ed. Emissaries from the capitol about this time were fitting hither and thith CT about the territory ostensibly on of ficial business endeavoring to solidify sentiment in favor of an administra- ton delegation. Also about this time "Wags" already "stalling" as the organ inspired was talking about instruc- tions
 So far there had been no movement in opposition but when the time rIpen- ed a very effective one was developed. We do not think this statement of the case will be disputed by those who are familiar with the facts and every prominent republican in the territory is familiar with them.
 It ought however to have been ap- parent to Governor Kibbey even in his perturbed state of mind last Saturday that It was immaterial who started the fight One side is right and the other is wrong. If the instruction scheme is right it could not have been started too early. The first blow should have been struck for it. If the instruction conspiracy was wrong no attempt to wreck it ~---'' Lave been premature.
 Though the question raised by the governor is not of the slightest impor- tance, the opposition to instructions did not and physically could not pre- cede the project but it was nicely timed for the smashing of the eggs over which the officeholders had been ''clucking" and lowering for months

A BUSY DAY.-The city police had the busiest Sunday yesterday they remember to have passed. About 25 drunks were landed in jail. some of whom put up cash, others will be tried today. Most every one was Armed with a bottle. the contents of which was more or less depleted. Four of the men arrested will be ar raigned for fighting.
 MAKING GOOD.-Beals Becker and Cy Young, who played with the Browns in Phoenix last fall, are now working out with the Pittsburg Ma tionals who are now in Kansas play ing a few games with the Wichita team. The Pittsburg Pirates manager is well satisfied with the work of both men. Becker is hitting hard and often according to the press dis patches. and Young is very effective when his control is good, but some days appears to have kinks in his arm.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL %, 1908.
THE BLUE RIDGE SCHEDULE.

That the new schedule Is becoming
daily more obnoxious to the citizens
OF Walhalla is being evidenced by
the fact that complaints are more
numerous and general every day,
Those who at first felt that the COUP
ling OF passenger coaches to the
freight train at Seneca and carrying
them up to Walhalla would in a way
take the place Of the afternoon pas
Senger train are realizing now that
1T means nothing, or at most but lit
lie more than nothing.
The authorities Of the Blue Ridge
road unquestionably know that, even
ar the road has not been operated
at profit during the past few
months, they have taken as a basis
Tor their estimates the months dur
ing which the passenger traffic to
and from Walhalla is off, at the very
least, one-half; and it is equally we'll
known that the curtailed schedule
was forced with no notice or consul
tation at the very opening of the sea-
Sci iSi lldNcl W tHc mountains.
Whether or not this Is an Intentional
stab at Walhalla as Il summer resort,
as well as the logical railroad point
Tor resorts further up in the noun
tains, the fact remains that It is a
stab, and serious one.
Granted that the Blue Ridge road
has been operated at loss, where
is the justice in making retrench-
ments entirely at one point, and es-
pecialiy at point where it IS known
business will increase 25 to 75 per
cent in the immediate future?
We do not wish the curtailment Of
service or the cutting of forces at
any point on the road, nor do We be.
We've 1t to be essential to the Blue
Ridge being operated at profit dur
ing the summer months. The sched-
ules In operation at present are not
only not calculated to induce travel
by way Of Walhalla, but, on the con-
trary, are against every interest of
this point.
The people Of Walhalla will move
for some recognition at the hands of
the Blue Ridge, no small amount of
whose revenue comes directly through
this end Of the line. We want a
schedule that will meet the eeds and
convenience Of travel from Charles
ton and Columbia, Washington and
Charlotte, Louisiana, Florida and
Georgia points, and we are entitled
to it.

Smell anything peculiar? Rotten
| gubernatorial campaign opened over
in Georgia.
John Jay Gould positively refuses
to discuss his personal affairs. Can't
say that we blame him. Might give
us something about Anna, though.
BY the death of the late William
A. Courtenay vacancy was created
on the Peabody Educational Board.
Governor NJ. +, Ansel has been su O.
gested as worthy successor to Mr..
Courtenay. unquestionably the lat
ter filled the seat on the board in a
manner that wrought great good to
this State and the South, and we
know of no man better qualified to
fill the unfortunate vacancy than Gov
ernor Ansel.
A move was made last week at
the session of the Medical Associa..
ton at Anderson to have larger
representation from the medical fra,
ternity in the State law-making bo-
dies in order that the health of the
State may be looked after more
closely and intelligentIy. The move
ment Is doubtless a good one for the
State at large, directly and Indirectly
The doctors could frame the neces-
sary laws for the preservation of the
health of the people of the State, and
at the same time be on hand in suffi-
cient numbers to administer the
proper remedies when the Legisla-
tive and Senatorial livers get torpid
or otherwise, as they unquestionably
do at each session. The latter SER
vice would doubtless require more Of
the doctors time than would the peo-
pie at large.

nus.--Farm and Factory.
Mistaken again, friend We are
always ready to stand up for our own
Interests, but we never stoop to the
level of working against others. The
Blue Ridge may operate a dozen
trains with Seneca as their terminus,
and Walhalla and The Courier will
rejoice with Seneca in her good for
tune. We ask only what is due us,
and Seneca ought to join a fight to
help us secure it. We would be glad
to see expressions from Farm and
Factory that show as much of friend
ship as the above sentiment does of
gloating jealousy.

zone Touch Of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kim"

When rooster finds big fat
worm he calls all the hens in the
farm yard to come and share it. A
similar trait of human nature is to
be observed when a man discovers
something exceptionally good-he
wants all his friends and neighbors
to share the benefits of his discov-
cry. This is the touch of nature that
makes the whole world kin. This
explains why people who have been
cured by Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy write letters to the manufactu-
rers for publication, that others sim
ilarly ailing may also use it and OBJ
tain relief. Behind every one Of
these letters Is a warm he .rted wish
Of the writer to be Of use to some

THE COURIERS NEW FIRM.

Last week the personnel of The
Courier firm was slightly changed by
the addition Of a new member in the
person of Fred. A. III. Schroeder, who
has been for eleven years connected
with The Courier force. BY reason
of Mr.. Schroder's long service as an
employee of the office, and in recog-
man, it was pleasure to the other
Droprietors to associate HIM with
them in business.
In the retiring of Mr.. Jaynes from
che firm on April 1st we lost one of
the ablest writer's in South Carolina
Journalism; but for several years his
sine had been so completely occu-
pied with legal and other matters
That The Courier was not in a posi-
tion to enjoy the benefit Of his abil-
lily as writer, and he felt called
upon to relinquish his adopted pro-
fession as journalist in order that his
whole time might be given to his
first love"-the law. We regretted
rions with him, but it was only the
sSevering Of active relations, as we
St1ll have his good will and free
access to his counsel.
For the new member Of the firm
we bespeak a hearty reception at the
hands Of the public Of Oconee. Mr..
Schroeder is well and favoraDly known
from center to circumference Of the
county, and needs no introduction at
our hands.
IN the production Of The Cou rier
we shall endeavor to keep the paper
where it now stands--at the top Of
EhH ladder in the field Of weekly
E1gwHnapers. We shall take no step
backward, but move forward at every
opportunity in giving the news OF this
section as we'll as in standing firm
Sor what we be.teve to be the best
lnteres~s Of OcOnee and the country
at large.
