To Mrs. Whitaker's untiring
and devoted efforts may be attri-

SAYS THE PRESS
(From Asheville Gazette-News,)

Endorsements of Hon. William
, ). Cooke of Asheville for the
democratic nomination for con.
gress from the Tenth district are
coming from all parts of the dis
trlct, and his friends are greatly
pleased with the enthusiasm
with which the mention of his
name has been received. The
Franklin Press Of Macon county.
this week has a strong editorial
comment on the congressional
race and under the caption:
"Gu'ger or Cocker" says that
the democratic voters of the dis
trlct should think the question
over and get the right man" and
that in our opinion William ].
Cooke is that man." The Press
editorially says:
Were we looking for the
strongest and most popular
democratic d leaders in Western
North Carolina we would imme
diately find two names standing
high, These names are J. M.
Gudger, jr., and William J.
Cooke, Both men are from
Asheville, both are advocates of
the highest and purest party
principles, and both stand high
in the esteem of all who know
them. Gudger and Cocke-twoI
stronger democrats it would be
hard to find.
But now it is not a question of
Gudger and Cooke. 1t is Gudger
or Cooke. Both of these men
are making the fight for the
democratic nominee for congress-
man from the Tenth district.
Which shall it be, Gudger or
Cooke? @ .7s.s..
-. Let us consider the merits Of
the two candidates for a moment. !;
Mr.. Gudger was congressman +
from the Tenth district two
terms, and although he didn't
set the world afre" it is certain;
he did some good work for his
district, and left an excellent
record.
Mr.. Cooke, on the other hand,
IS still comparatively a young
man, and is making his first race.
He has served his party we'll in /.
different capacities, having been 3.
OF Asheville, state sena-
tor, North Carolina delegate to
the national democratic conven-
ton, etc. He is a man of vigor.
fire, enthusiasm and a big am
oition, and possessing the ability j
to realize this ambition he is !
necessarily a very strong perso- !
1ality. It is this very fact that {
makes him a better man for con-
yressman than Mr.. Gudger. |
The latter has had the place be-
ore and in going back to Wash I
ngton would resume his old 6
'osition with the fire and vigor .
f his first victory practically r
'urnt out. We could expect s
title in the way of positive legis- v
alton from him. Mr.. Cooke,
ding into congress full of the
re and enthusiasm Of his VIC
orious realization of the ambi-
ion Of a life, will make his power tt
cit. A strong man come into p
is own, exerting his strength in tx
ne cause of his constituents c.
nat will be William J. Cooke on +.
ne floor of the house. "
In the point of ability Mr.. Il
ocke is probably the superior of T
is opponent. His career has o.
cen more spectacular, and has OF
lown more strength and in Il
ividuality than has that of Mr.. OF
udger. AS a speaker he GER te
Ginly has the advantage of Mr.. st

SMALL CROP SCARE
Hampered the Speculative Movement
in Stocks Yesterday-Wheat
Bulls Pleased.

Nv York May 24--The speculative
movement in stocks was hampered
| to-day by the appearance OF an incip'
| lent crop scare of moderate propo"
| tons. The character of some of the
assertions made by professional cron
experts regarding the conditions In
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, was
disliked by the bulls in stocks, al
though highly relished by the bull
party in wheat as witnessed by the
soaring of prices of wheat TO new high
levels.
Due allowance is made for the high
| ly speculative condition in the wheat
market and for the affiliations Of
some of the quoted experts with the
| brokerage houses interested in eff
| feet of the news on the market quota
| tons. There was, however, enough
color of confederation for the unfav-
lorable view OF conditions in the regiu
| indicated from the reports received
| by railroad officials from their agea-
cies along the line TO make the re
ports of influence on the sentiment.
1t was a reminder of the possibility of
| the working up OF crop scare of a
much more portentious showing which
might serve to upset an extended
speculation in stocks if it We're en-
tered upon during the crucial period
of the growth of the crops.
This was the only cause discenible
as a check to the speculation, which
started fairly enough in continuation
of movement in progress on Satur'
day. The call money market was APP
|preciably easier.

LEARNED LESSON IN NEATNEss
Or Possibly Friend OF Capt. Barr
Meant TO Be SatricaI.

CT the late Capt Charles Barr. the
famous yachtsman, a Marblehead to-

Capt. Barr was almost as famous

night, after their wholesome supper of
hot brown bread and baked beans, the
TWO friends sat on green wicker chairs
on the tidy piazza, smoking good
cigars. The visitor, on finishing his
cigar, tossed the butt down on the

What did you do that for, George?
asked Capt Barr. Look at it, smoul.

on the nice green grass?
George turned red.

big part of success.
George who had never been very
successful man, smiled sarcastically.

FIND VASSAR GIRLS
BODY IN A CISTERN
Detectives Unravel Mystery OF
Young Woman's Disappear
ance After Mental Collapse

FISHKILL LANDING. N Y, Dec. g.
The body of Margaret Dauerty, the
Vassar student who disappeared yes
terday, was found late today in the
cistern of her fathers home at Hugh
sonville
Miss Dauerty, who was the daugh-
te rof Rev. William H. Dauerty, wan
dered away from the care of her friends
yesterday morning. 1t was known that
she had been forced to abandon her
studies at vassar because of mental
strain due to overwork.
A detective found her body. in six
feet of water at the bottom of the cis-
tern Appearances indicated a care
fully planned suicide. There was no
evidence of foul play
Miss Dauerty was ambitious to make
her first year at yassar -creditable
one. She knew that her father had
abandoned a rich parish in New Jersey
to accept his small charge in Hugh
sonvil1e that his daughter might live
at home while attending vassar. Three
weeks ago she broke down. The
thought that her indisposition had null
lified her fathers sacrifices for her so
preyed on her mind that the family
feared she might attempt suicide and
they tried to keep close watch on her.
Sunday morning she disappeared. and
many searching parties failed to find
her until late today.

KING Or SWEDEN WORKS
AS LONGSHORE LABORER
Carries Sacks of Coal to Learn
Peoples Wishes

STOCKHOLM. Dec. SKIING Gus
'tave on Saturday inaugurated a new
departure for sovereigns Disguised
as a stevedore, he spent most of the
day carrying sacks of coal from a
lighter. In an interview after it was
all over the king said this was only
the beginning. He intended to mix
with all classes Of laborers so that he
might ascertain their opinions and
wishes. Already. he added. he had
obtained many valuable hints from men
with whom he worked.
The determination of King Gustave
to. learn of the conditions of the work
ingmen by mingling with them and
taking part in their 1abors has re-
suited from the recent great tieup OF
the business life of the country by a
general strike. King Gustave inter-
vened last August in an endeavor to
obtain a compromise. but without
avail. The strike continued for
months and involved thousands of men.
Eventually arbitration was under
taken by the Swedish government and
in the, interim many workmen returned
to their tasks, although the number of
unemployed remained large.
