not long ago, and 1t was painfully
apparent that emigration to this land
of the free, or the impulse Of the
younger man 10 reach the larger cent

try. There 10 a stagnatlon and a re-
progression In cities that Is startling.
Where our American cities show a
wonderful increase every ten years,
the cities Of Scotland have been stand
almost still, and the increase is but
slight in decade. Many reasons are
given for It,, and one is that the al
lurements OF this country are more
powerful, and the young men insist
on leaving the old home to make a
fortune like. Carnegie.
His example has had much to do
with bringing thousands across the
water. You can imagine that there
is not much chance for the ambitious
young man in Scotland when you re-
call that seventy lords and others
own most of the country and our
friend Carnegie is counted among the
seventy, although he Is loyal Amer

err all, I do not know as Americans
should complain, as the situation
brings to this side mighty clever
lot of citizens each year, who aid in
making the country prosperous and
themselves happier. The population
of the cities in Scotland has increased
Slightly, but Glasgow, the largest city,
has less than 100000, while Edinburg,
the second largest Of the Scottish
cities, has a little more than 100000

In the opinion of Josephus Daniels,
editor Of the Raleigh News and OBJ
server, and Democratic national COM
mitteeman from North Carolina,
Woodrow Wilson will be the Demo-
cratic nominee for the presidency
next year.
Back from trip to New York and
points in the east, Mr.. Daniels, who
was manager Of the publicity de-
partment of the Democratic national
committee in the last presidential
campaign. Gays that everywhere he
went he found Democratic sentiment
Favorable to the nomination Of the
New Jersey executive for the presi-
dency next year.
"All indications at this time point
to the nomination of Gov. Wilson," de-
clared the North Carolina editor, and
should the national convention meet
today it would be overwhelmingly in
favor of the nomination Of the brainy
New Jersey executive. This was the
opinion frequently expressed by
the editors and publishers from all
parts of the country, who attended the
meeting of the Associated Press in
New York, and have heard the same
sentiment reechoed among Democrats
during my visit to Washington.
THE party has strong men in Cows.
Harmon, Marshall and Speaker Clark,
any one of whom would make splen-
did candidate for the presidency, but
it Is plain that Woodrow Wilson is
growing in popular favor throughout
the country among the Democrats
who are beginning to regard him as
the most available man that can be
selected to make. the race for the
presidency. -
II was recently in New Jersey, and
was impressed by the fact that there
is much state pride in the suggestion
of DR.. Wilson's name for the presi-
dency.
''The trend of sentiment which is
Enthusiastically centering upon the New
Jersey governor is due in large meas.
ure to the splendid record that he has
made in the brief period that he has
been the executive office. No state ex.
ecutive has ever accomplished more
in so short period. Although pro.
gressive in his views on public ques.
tions. the people of the nation have
every confidence in the conservatism
of Woodrow Wilson"
