a two-thirds vote on the forty-sixth
ballot
1t appears, therefore, that Mr..
Bryan was the dominating force in
the convention, and that he and he
alone is responsible for the nomina-
tion Of Governor Wilson. 1t may be
added, however, that the fear of the
election of Theodore Roosevelt is
what really dominated the conven-
ton and what gave Mr.. Bryan his
unexplainable control of the demon
allied and panic stricken Democratic
Convention.

TUE POSITION OF IOWA REPCB-
LCANS.

On last Saturday twelve Repubil-
can County Conventions. to nominate
county tickets, we're held in the state
NJ Iowa Every one of these con-
ventions passed resolutions declaring
that Theodore Roosevelt had -ciear
majority OF the lawfully elected del-
eqates TO the Republican Naationai
Convention at Chicago, and was
therefore the legal nominee Of the
Republican party for President.
The resolutions of these conVeh-
lions further denounced the fraud
committed by the defunct Republican
National Committee in seating seven
tv-six boiling and dishonest dele
gates in order to give Taft major
,ty. The resolutions further declared
that in view of these facts that the
Renublicans of these counties woulc
nut I'D electors who would vote for
Theodore Roosevelt for President as
the regular Republican nominee.
II is noticeable that similar action
has been taken by Republican Con-
ventions and meetings in many States
and in every part of the country. II
is thought that the Republican state
Convention of North Carolina, when
il meets in August to nominate
State ticket, as we'll as the Republl-
can Congressional Conventions IN
each Congressional District, Will take
similar action. If they do, then
there will be no Taft electoral ticket
in North Carolina, unless it be put out
by a rump boiling convention SINH
lar to the Duncan rump boiling con-
vention in the Third and Fourth
Congressional Districts.
The Caucasian has received large
number of letters from the RepuDn-
cans over the State, asking our ad-
vice as to the proper course for Re-
publicans who want to see the party
built up, grow and dominate the
State in this campaign.
We suggest the above for the con-
sideration of all of the Republicans
of the State, and besides ask that any
Republican who has a different view
will write his views to The Caucasian
for publication.

TRANSFERS LAND FOR NEGRO
SCHOOL.

Senate and House Pass Bill Convey
ing 81 Acres in Wilmington for
Erection of Industrial Negro
School.
Washington, D. c., July 3-After a
lengthy and at times acrimonious de-
bate, the House today passed a bill
conveying to the Board of Education
of New Hanover County, n. c., thir-
ty-four acres of land nthe city of
ty-four acres of land in the city of
industrial school for negroes.
The negro question was injected
into the debate and Representative
Fowler, of Illinois, Democrat, precip-
itated a heated discussion by charg-
ing that even in the North negroes
were Disseminated against in the
universities and colleges. His decla-
ration was challenged by Represen-
tatives Burke and Moore, of Pennsyl-
vania, Republican minority leader
Mann and others.
Mr.. Mann protested against the
measure on the ground that it trans
ferred, without return to the govern
ment, a valuable property to the State.
He later withdrew his objection and
the bill was passed. The measure al
ready has passed the Senate and it
is believed that President Taft will
sign it when he returns from Bev-
erly, Mass.

Asheville, July 3-Claiming that
he had been captured, tied to a tree
and whipped, Ralph Brendle, a boy
about sixteen years of age, last night
asked the police to arrest Willie Nc
Namara and Willie Post, two boys
about his own age. He said that the
two boys captured him, tied him to
tree and proceeded to whip him
and kick him. The boy bears a num-
Der of bruises which tend to bear out
the statement that he has been
whipped, but assigns no reason for
the action. Both the latter deny any
malice and say that the whipping was
administered in fun.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We have not had the time to read
the National Democratic platform
very carefully, but in reading 1t over
hurriedly we failed to find any men
ton of that old free lumber plank
or even a word about the initiative
and referendum. At one time that
was Mr.. Wilson's main hobby and we
had thought that Mr.. Bryan favored
those measures, yet II they are men
toned in the new platform the type
was too fndistinct for us to see it.
And what has become of old reci-
procity? Didn't you think some of
the Democrats favored that plank;
yet it is not in the Democratic plat
form that has just been worked over.
The platform favors a tariff for
revenue only, but that is as elastic
as any of the product from India. 1t
put it's o. K. on everything the Demo
cratic Congress has done, including
that pension steal and renewed it's
support to a generous pension pol
ICY" which would indicate that they
intend looking up more people in
the North who never fired a gun dur
ing the war, if they will only vote the
Democratic ticket this fall.
The platform expresses deep in
terest in the great Panama Canal Ex-
position to be held in San Fran
cisco in 1915, and favor such en-
enlargement as can be properly CIV
en-" And this in view of the fact
that only a few weeks ago Congress
refused to make proper appropria-
tions for continuing the work on ca
nal which has caused the engineer in
charge to threaten to throw up the
job. Then to have been consistent
the platform should have condemned
it's members in Congress who refused
to turn loose their mileage grab of
20 cents a mile and voted to increase
the salaries of their secretaries,
which in many instances increased
their own salaries.

SENATE DEFEATS CHEMICAL
BILL
It Would Have Placed Some Articles

List.

Washington, July 3-The House
chemical tariff revision bill. amended
TO place dyes used in coloring cheap
er cotton goods on the free list. was
defeated in the Senate today. 30 to
20 The bill would have reduced the
rate on many articles in the present
chemical schedule by about % per
cent and would have transferred 9TH
ers, including pepper, cinnamon,
cloves, licorice and balsam from the
free list to the dutiable.
The chemical bill is the second of

The Raleigh Evening Times seems
elated because the Democrats did not
nominate Bryan for President.
Yesterdays Times says:
Congratulations are due all
around that the tired and weary
delegates did not turn TO Bryan.
With all of his manipulating the
Nebraskan was unable TO make
them see that he was the proper
man to nominate"
Well, what is the difference? Bry-
an is the man who nominated Wood
row Wilson at Baltimore, and then
wrote the platform telling him just
what he and the Raleigh Times must
stand for.
The only difference is that Bryan
is probably the smartest of the two
men. Certainly a man who can't
stand Bryan, can't stand for Wilson,
and there will be a lot Of them who
will refuse to stand.

THE FIGHTING IN MEXICO.
The Present Battle May End the Rev

July 3-In the heart of the noun
tains of northern Mexico where Ba-
chimba Canyon, a natural fortress,
controls the entrance to the city Of
Chihuahua, forty miles north, was
begun today with what may prove to
be the last great battle of the MeXi
can revolution.
During six hours of brisk fighting,
between 5000 rebels under Gen. Pas
cual OrOZcO nd an almost equal num-
Der of government troops under Gen.
Victoriano Huerta, no great advant
age was gained by either side, indi-
cations tonight being that if the rebel
ammunition holds out, the issue will
not be decided for several days. A
Federal victory means the end of the
organized revolution and a success
sion Of guerrilla struggles.
The Federals at nightfall were
pouring heavy fire into the rebel
positions, the extent of which was es-
timated by rebel officers at one thous-
and shells in five horus.
For five weeks the contending ar
mics had been separated by burned
bridges and torn-up tracks left by the
rebels as they retreated north after
the battle of Rellano. Slowly the gov
eminent commanders repaired $50
miles of railroad and several big
bridges on the Mexican Central rail-
