Maryland Democrats Getting Cool To
ward Wilson.

Says the Baltimore Americana:
"The ardor of Maryland Democrats
over the nomination of Governor Will
son for President by the National
Convention last week is beginning to
COOL On second thought, they are
beginning to realize there was too
much Bryan in his administration
Mr.. Bryan has never been a favorite
in Maryland on the three election
days when he was voted for for Presi-
dent. In 1896 he lost the State by
$4,000. Four years later the major
ity was $4,000 against him. Four
years ago he captured six of the eight
electors. The. two electors-at-laree
chosen were Republicans because
they were first voted for. The six
district electors would also have been
Republicans but for the manipulation
of the Wilson ballot law by the Demo
cratic election supervisors.
Another objection by Democratic
manufacturers and by other Demo
cratic friends of protection of Cover
nor Wilson is his position on the ia
riff. They fear that those views have
a too free trade hue to meet their an
proval.
Maryland organization Democrats
are anxious to know where they will
be "at" if Governor Wilson is elected
President. They recall how vigor
ously he has welded the clug agains
his party organization in New Jer
sey."

J. c. l.. HARRIS ERUPTs AGAIN.
Doesn't Want Butler to support Roo
sevelt-But When Did Harris Get


Doesn't Want Butler to support Roo
sexelt-But When Did Harris Get
In?
The Raleigh correspondent OF the
Charlotte Observer and Greensboro
News reports ]. c. L. Harris, OF Raj
eigh, as saying he doesn't want ex-
Senator Marion Butler taking a part
in the Roosevelt movement, and
wants something done TO stop him.
II Is surprising that Loge has been
quiet this long. There never was a
political movement that Harris didn't
try to burst up unless he could head
the band wagon, and IL he headed IL,
the thing was sure to bust"
When Harris had himself named
as president OF a Roosevelt movement
In this county some months ago only
four persons in the county would en-
list under him, though there were
about 1000 Roosevelt Republicans
in the county. They had no conf
dence in him as political leader and
would not follow his leadership
" HSh NC DOitCo TIC llCpuDlISdn SOA-
vention he called on all Roosevelt
Republicans" TO follow him. A few
followed him, but most of them have
since lined up for Mr.. Taft, which
showed they were sailing under false
co)ors at the time. After paving up
the earth for Roosevelt, and after
getting seated in the State Conven-
ton on the grounds he and his boilers
were for Roosevelt, then the next day
in his boiling Congressional conVen-
tion he refused to be instructed for
Roosevelt and went to Chicago and
got Mr.. Duncan to have him seated
then on the most important day OF
the convention he stayed away from
the convention hall and let his bolt
ing alternate, Chas. d. Wildes, vote
with the Taft forces. The Republicans
of Wake County know of his treacn-
erv and he can't fool them. The
Republicans of the State know him
also, and for this reason he was not
invited to the Roosevelt meeting in
Greensboro last month. Those men
SAID they had enough of Loge Harris.
Lodge has about run his route in pol
tiles, and no one now pays any atten-
ton to what he says. Abuse from a
man of his checkered career will not
hurt any one.

Votes Will Now Shy at Wilson the
Second.
Rochester Post-EXpress.l
William L. Wilson, the author of
the Infamous Wilson law of twenty
years ago, was a college professor
and was born in Virginia. Woodrow
Wilson is a college professor and was
born in Virginia. To those who re-
member the lean and hungry years
when the Wilson law was in force,
the coincidence of name, birthplace,
profession, and political principle has
a sinister aspect.
He CDR. Wilson, denounced organ
lied labor in the most vicious manner
and declared in substance that he
preferred a Chinese coolie to an
American trade union man, because
the coolie was more industrious and
law-abiding and willing to work for
lesss. He inveighed bitterly against
our Eastern Europe immigrants as
so-did people of the meaner sort:
and Greeks and Poles, Slaves and
Italians will justifably wonder what
views he holds to-day. The Roman
Catholic Church will also find some
passages in his writings that call for
considerable explaining, and though
he is an incompatible artist in the
line of disavowing and assembling
| and can execute pirouette as deity
| as any public man of our times, he is
likely to have full need of all his
mental agility to this end. Repub-
licans need not be respondent that
Taft is criticised with more or less
justice for several things. There are
more rods in pickle for the Princeton
demagogus than ever he dreamed of
before he enters politics; and his sor-
rows crown of sorrow is likely to be
that his own words confiute his new
pretentions, and-if a pleonastic ex-
preston may be pardoned-that he
has talked two much with his mouth

new garage now being erected are the
only new improvements added to the

STRENUOUS time

Prisoner George Anderson Becomes
UnruIy and Threatens the
Marshal When Arrested.

Chief of Police Weeks has been hay
ing strenuous time the past few
days keeping tab on disorderlies. At
ter his encounter of Saturday with
Guy Nixon he thought to have time
in which to regain some of his lost
breath and was only beginning to feel
himself, when on Monday afternoon
there came word from the Northwest
ern pump house that his services were
needed. One George Anderson was
said to be on a rampage and when the
marshal went after the fellow he met
with fiat refusal and a volley of
perfumed oaths. 1t took three pretty
stiff taps from the strong arm of the
law to subdue the said Anderson, and
both Marshal Weeks and Deputy
Burke to land the culprit where he
would have an opportunity to regain
his senses. Tuesday morning Ander-
son had so far recovered as to be able
to promise to pay $40 and costs, and
was allowed to resume work at the
Nicholson produce plant, where he had
been working
The same afternoon Thos. Fost or
Frost, who has an appetite for straw
hats and booze, became the object of
entertainment for a good sized street
crowd, and Marshal Weeks concluded
the fellow needed diet of canned
tomatoes and therefore landed him
in the recently constructed fly trap
in the basement of the city hall, and
on Tuesday morning Mr.. Frost was
permitted to roam in the cold, biting
rain with a promise to pay $5 and
costs. When taken up Frost had in
his possession three new straw hats

YOUNG MAN is AoJuDeED INSANE
Taken Before Insane Commission on
Saturday and is Ordered Taken
to Clarinda for Treatment.

Guy Nixon, a young man making his
home with his mother, Mrs. Laura
Nixon, in Denison, was on Saturday
taken before the insane commission
and adjudged Of unsound mind and or
dered taken to uhe'hospjtal at Clarin-
da. Sheriff Cummings took him to Cla-
rinda Saturday evening.
Saturday forenoon Nixon went into
the candy kitchen and purchased an
ice cream cone, and after eating it
stepped over to the show window and
began eating candy. One of the pro-
prietors suggested that perhaps he
wished to purchase some of the candy
and Nixon said perhaps he would and
kept on eating. When the proprietor
again suggested that he buy some
candy or pay for what he had eaten,
Nixon pulled revolver from his pock-
ct and backed out of the room, going
over to the Godbersen barber shop.
Word was sent for the marshal, who
went to the shop, and approaching the
young man, asked him if he had a
gun, to which Nixon replied that he
had. The marshal asked for it, but
was refused and upon reaching to take
hold of him, Nixon attempted to draw
the gun. The marshal grabbed his
wrist and held it, but was tripped and
both the marshal and Nixon fell to the
floor, with Nixon on top and the
marshal still holding the gun hand.
Henry Moeller and Mr.. Adams, who
happened to be in the barber shop,
went to the assistance of Marshal
Weeks and secured the gun.
