BRYAN AND THE HOME FOLKS

1t has frequently been said dur
ing the past nineteen hundred and
eleven years that ga prophet is not
without honor save in his W coun-
try" The truth of this biblical ex-
preston is conceded, but coupled
with another, there are exceptions
TO all rules" reminds of the conf
dence his home friend still repose
in that greatest of all American
statesmen, Hon. William Jennings
Bryan. The subsidized press OF the
country has sought, in season and
out of season, for fifteen years to
discredit him and cripple his infiu-
'ence. They have been unscrupu-
lous in their efforts to malign and
misrepresent him because he has con-
sistently stood for the rights of the
people and dared to expose the
methods of tariff barons and thiev-
ing monopolies. These purchased
influences may have prevented Mr..
Bryan from being President, but the

WILSON FOR PRESIDENT

"The Worlds Work." a magazine
publication issued by Doubleday,
Page and Company, Garden City, L.
l., has recently tested the sentiment
of the country respecting the choice
OF a President next year, with a re-
suit which indicates that Governor
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey,
will be overwhelmingly elected. The
Worlds Work asked 2415 of its sub
scribers to mark a ballot sent them
containing the names of Albert B.
Cummins, Robert M. LaFollette,
Theodore Roosevelt and William Ho-
ward Taft, republicans, Williams
Jennings Bryan, Champ Clark, judi
son Harmon and Woodrow Wilson,
democrats, expressing their prefer
ence of men for his high Office. The
names were divided among the sev-
eral states in exact proportion to the
electoral vote Of each state-fve times
as many ballots being sent to each
state as it possesses electoral votes,
the names being drawn, a state at g
time, at random, by clerks ignorant
OF the purpose, from the subscrip-

THE FIGHT is OVER.

The long and at times strenuous
contest over the reciprocity pact with
Canada has ended and the effect rs
yet to be ascertained, after the propo-
sition has been ratified by the Cana
dian Parliament. That the democrats
passed the treaty cannot be question
ed, only ten of them opposing it in the
House and three in the Senate. The.
bill is not held to be a real tariff re-
form measure, but an entering wedge

OF high protective robberies. Republi-
cans who : spoke in opposition to its
ratification admitted this and opposed
it for that reason. Advocates of the
law do not claim that its coming will

people Of Lincoln, Nebraska, his
home city, are not t be mfsred by
covert attacks upon him. Recently
the Democratic Convention Of Ian
caster county, held in Lincoln ex-
pressed their faith in their noble and
distinguished sol by the adoption OF
the following resolution:
"The Democratic party of Lancas-
ter county, in convention assembled
renews it's fealty to the principles
which have made it the peoples
party and arrayed it On the side OF
the people in all of the political
struggles between greed and justfee,
We take a just pride in the fact that
this county has furnished to the ma
ton the standard bearer of the par
ty in three national campaigns; that
nearly every national reform since
1896 has been inspired by w. j.
Bryan. We esteem him the great
est living exponent of the great
truths which form the foundation of
the republic and congratulate him
that his t~ireless efforts in the adj
vocacy of the great truths which he
has espoused, have been so effective.
that his opponents have first ridicul-
ed, then maliciously opposed and en-
acted into law and sworn they were
the originators. For this %unparall-
eled public service he shall forever
rank with the immortals in the
heart of the American people. We
congratulate Hon. John A.. Mcguire
our representative in Congress, on
the faithful, efficient work he has per-
formed as our representative"
This paper does not approve e
proposition for which Mr.. Bryan
stands but it endorses most emphat-
ically every word contained in the
above resolution. The expression
comes from the hearts of friends and
neighbors who know him best, a tes-
timonial of unquestioned origin and
the strongest possible significance.

HAS DONE GOOD.

The Southern Railway Company
has done the good roads movement a
distinct service in the South by CO.
operating with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in arrang-
ing for a tour of this section by road
experts from said Department. This
Good Roads Train, carrying a num-
Der Of road building experts and inn
proved road construction machinery.
has made a pretty thorough tour OF
North Carolina and accomplished in
calculable good for the cause sought
to be improved. On this train have
been exhibited working models, run
by electrici+-, of improved road
building rc~c-i1ery; free lectures and
demonstrations, conducted by expert
road builders, and encouraging talks
by representatives OF the Southern S
Land and Industrial Department. Ac-
cOmpanying the party were officials
of the State Coed Roads Association
and representatives of the American
Highway Association. The object of
this train, generously furnished by
the Southern Railway Company, was
to give practical instruction in the
building and maintenance of improv-
ed roads, with the view to inducing
their construction and saving mil
lions of dollars annually to the far
mers on the movement of their crops
to- the railways. And the effort has
succeeded admirably in the awaken
ing of a new interest in road building
throughout this entire section.
There is nothing more important
to the people of North Carolina than
the building CT good roads, and every
person should be interested in every
attempt to secure them. Of course,
it is just as someone has suggested,
the achievement of good roads, like
any other progressive movement, is
approached by degrees and may be
said to consist of three stages:
First, educational or bringing the
people to realize the enormous tax of
bad roads and inspiring them with
he determination for and a willing
less to pay the price for good roads;
second, legislative, or the securing of
he legislative machinery necessary
20 insure a systematic and economic
method of read. construction and
maintenance throughout the state;
and, third, the actual work of location
and construction, which is a problem
for the individual township and
cCunty.'

ticn list Of the magazine. Out of a
total vote cast of 1906 woodrow Will
son received 519; VIM. H. Taft, 402;
Theodore Roosevelt, 274; Judson A.
Harmon, Sc, Robt M. LaFollette, 81;
Champ Clark, 45; VIM. ]. Bryan, 81;
Albert ]. Cummins, IL. 1t is sug-
gested by the editor that the result is
a reflection of the sentiment of the
entire country for the moment, pro-
badly as accurate as could be pro-
! cured in any other way and por-
trays the overwhelming popularity
/ OF Governor Wilson taking the coun.
TRY as a whole. A scrutiny of the
! ballots returned reveals the follow
ing remarkable facts:
President Taft, in a total vote OF
400, received the ballots of ten men
who professed themselves generally
Democrats and of two who describ-
ed themselves as Independents.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in a total vote of
274, received the votes Of twelve
democrats and two Independents.
Mr.. LaFollette, in a total vote of
81, received the votes of six Democ-
rats and two Independents.
Mr.. Harmon, in a total vote of SO,
received the ballots of eight Repub-
licans and one independent.
In his total vote of 519, Governor
Wilson received the ballot of las Re-
publicans and % Independents. This
is, by far, the most significant fea-
ture incident to the result, in that
it shows the exceptionally high es-
innate placed upon the Jerseys Exc
cutiYe by Republican and ~Indepen-
dent voters. An estimate of the re-
suit indicates the participation of 900
Republicans and 500 Democrats in
the primary, "yet" the editor says,
''the most popular candidate was a
Democrat. Wilson led Taft 5 to 4.
He received three times as many
votes as all other Democratic candi-
dates combined, five times as many
as his nearest competitor-Mr Har=
mon. True, 167 of the Wilson votes
came from Republicans and indie
pendents, but, these subtracted, he
still has 352 votes-3 "a times as
many as his nearest competitor, Har-
mon, and twice as many as all other
Democratic candidates combined"
Wilson led Harmon in every state
except Ohio, and Nevada. The vote
in Ohio was fifteen for Harmon, and
thirteen for Wilson. In Nevada it
was a tie. And here is another con.
clusion that means something:
"An analysis of the vote IN nom
partisan lines shows that progress
sives of both parties outnumber con-
s~ervatives of both parties nearly two
to me-. Classifying Wilson, Roose-
welt, LaFollette, Bryan and Cum
Minis as Progressives, and Taft and
Harmon as Conservatives, the totals
show almost two to one in favor of
the former"
; This is a very interesting sum-
ming up of probable conditions to
soy the least. And the fIrther fact
that the Democrats Of Pennsylvania
beth factions-lately determined to
cast their seventy-six votes for him,
in the National Convention next year,
gives Governor Wilson a lead, right
on the start, that will be hard to
overcome. Begins TO ook like the
democratic slogan next year will be
Wilson or bust"
