Harmon and Gordon would make ;
ticket which would be hard to beat" said
Fred S. Waller, a real estate broker and
banker of Mex York. who was seen at the
New willard last night
Harmon. the stanch Democrat OF Ohio,
who has been tried and found not want
ing, who has the confidence Of Democrats
and Republicans alike, who is trusted by
the rich and poor alike. who Is not looked
upon with suspicion by either the capt.
talist or the worker. who can concentrate
and harmonic the various factions in the
Democratic party, would be the best Sc
lection which the Democrats could make
for the head OF the ticket. He would
sweep the country.
Gordon. the gentle. the reconcuiator Of
the North and South, the disrnantIed
multi-millionaire, the preacher Of the
elimination of sectional lines and advocate
OF one country, the friend OF the abused
wealthy. and the standby Of the needy
and poor, the Democrat and Confederate
from the South who is willing to take on
his hat and cheer for Grant. would more
than keep the old South solid and would
probably help to swing some doubtful
Northern States into the Democratic
column. He would make the best second
on the Democratic Presidential ticket.
Harmon and Gordon" said Mr.. Wal
Ter; harmony and Cancellation would be
hard to beat.
The Republican party, through Senator
Aldrich, has acknowledged itself TO be a
party Of extravaganza Senator Aldrich
said he could save 100000 a year to
the country If his method Of managing
the administration were ADOPTED. Isn't
this an admission or confession of ex-
travagance? The Democrats will not have
TO prove extravaganza now; all they have
to do is TO show Senator Aldrieh's speech.
II is the best Democratic campaign docu-
ment which could be obtained.
The admission Of Aldrieh that the Re-
publican party is a party Of extravagancs
puts President Taft on the defensive. II
Aldrich's views are adopted, the confess
sion is complete and Taft would not
make the strongest candidate by any
nate. Who would? Roosevelt He Is
the only man who would have a chance
of winning against the Harmon and Cor
don ticket. and it viii be Roosevelt, IN
less I am very much mistaken
John A Burnett, a business man OF
New York. who was seen at the Raleigh
last night, said that Roosevelt would be
the next President of the United States.
Roosevelt to-day is the biggest man in
America. He overshsdows everybody else
and everything. His name is more men,
toned than that of any other American
citizen He is the one man who accom-
piished things while in the White House;
he did not merely talk. I only hope he
will consent TO return to his New York
home by way of San Francisco. The
people OF the United States ought 90
have a chance TO demonstrate their
esteem for him, and this car only be
done In a proper manner by his return
via Frisco. If nominated for the Presi-
dency, and if he accepts the nomination.
there is no power or combination Of
powers that could prevent his election.
He is a man of the people and he has the
peoples confidence. Nc matter what the
Republican machine would dictate. If it
were contrary 10 the wish OF the people,
the machine would be smashed and de-
molished into bits
4 am a native of the South. and
know the sentiment down there with
regard TO Roosevelt II he is nominated
would not be surprised If he carried
Virginia and other Southern States
Mayor Gaynor is a winner added
Mr.. Burnett He is saving the tax
payers of New York hundreds OF thou
sands Of dollars. and is bringing about
wholesome reform in every department
OF the city government Tammany Hall
is the biggest sufferer. and would not
be al all surprised if Mayor GaynoF put
an end to the political power OF that Or
