For President: William Howard Taft. For Vice President: James S. Shermani Torn and Bleeding. In our last issue of The State I]ftsPATCH we asserted that “The I^e^less One,” the one who per suades with his sheet, The Com- sncmer, and forces vdth the lash of Ms tongue was the best and ?fnost valuable asset the Republic- -.an party has. In support to this iifaeoffy and to prove to our many arefpders in what a predicament ibrces of the Democratic are, we clip the following ■ Uvam The Durham Sun, a red Democratic sheet, whose «dsisr is an old war horse of I>ea3»:5cracy, dyed'in-the-blood: Jjad now, “Thou Brutus." ©rjran has turned his venom on £deiid Champ Clark, and is 33sknig to destroy him, for no *3ther reason than that the New Yos^c-delegation voted for him. The daughter of Mr. Clark de clared with tears in her eyes, when Mr. Bryan denounced her father on the convention floor, ' '■"•that he had gone out during the Itime that Bryan was a cancQdate and had borrowed a dollar here and a dol lar there, any where he fijouid get a dollar, and used it to -help secure the election of Mr. ISryan.” And yet, with an ex cuse that seems to any man ridi culous, almost a pretext, Mr. Brj'an turns his back upon his old friend in the hour when he have been so much help to Slim, and denounces him. No xivonder even the friends of Mr. Sfe^yan are becoming disgusted. Politics Make Strange Bedfellows’ Someone has coined the phrase that ‘‘Politics make strange bed fellows,'’ and substantiates the theory by referring to William R. Hearst and Charley Murphy forming an alliance to support Clark. The humor of the coin age is readily seen when it is re membered that this is the same Hearst who had Murphy cartoon ed in prison stripes in one of his newspapers. Another funny combination is when we read of Hearst and Tom Taggart getting together. One naturally wonders if it can be true that this is the Tom Taggart whom Hearst once referred to as. the proprietor of a gambling joint and a man al together unfit as an associate for honest men. Then he recalls this same Tom Taggart is a trust ed Lieutenant of William Jen nings Bryan, the friend of John W. Kern and as both of these are above reproach he naturally concludes there is some mistake about Mr. Taggart and his morals. Again, the ordinary voter reads of Roger Sullivan getting in line with Murphy and Taggart to support Champ Clark, the part icular choice of Mr. Hearst for the nomination. Hearst and Sullivan have been bitter enimies in Chicago, but in Baltimore they are united, according to some of the news dispatches. The ordinary voter recalls that somebody has remarked that politics makes strange bedfellows and when he thinks of Hearst, Murphy, Taggart, and Sullivan in the same political fourposter he agrees with the coiner of the phrase. When he seeks enlightment he is told that it is all in the game. The political leaders are simply playing the game. They want to win. They Will sink all personal grievances for the good of the party, in order to win. “United we stand, divided we fall." niatioi&al Ting contests. There is more than a suspicion that the Dembcrats sought to hide the donkey’s ears for purposes ofdfe* ception that will not delude the people. To change the figure the ostrich has been fooHsn again and has bid its head in the pro- grossiye sands in order that it mig:ht be safe from targets. Who knows what progressive means in the jargon of Democracy? Who knows what reactionary means in the Ghoctaw of Bryan- ism? Who knows anything of the nature of the thing that has been paraded through the Con vention 'Hall under the name of predatory interests? ^ Certainly there is progress!ve- iim. It is found in the record of President Taft. Certainly there is reactionarism. It is that which seeks to have the sun of prosperity stand still upon the dial of the nation as represented by the Roosevelt insurrection. Certainly there is such a thing as predatory interests; they are found ofttimes within the camp of those who prate loudest a- gainst them. The man who has done the work of routing them out of iair is William How ard •>y the legal and judi cial aiisistance of the Supreme Court in its interpretation of the Sherman Anti-trust Law. When the country shall have caug’ht its breath after the con ventions, the one following upon the heels of the other, the calm conclusion will be that the Re publican party has everything that the other parties seek for and has little of the things that it should be without. In states manship, in past and present rec ord, in the matchlebs character of its nominee, in the tremen dous concentration and vitalizing of the party in all its machinery and energies—it is the party that stand for success. The only broadly national party today is the Republican party. The oth- when he talks he talks of Billy and when he sleeps he dreams of Billy, and if only Billy knew the fact he thinks him a jolly good fellow. Not ofily has Ryati beeh hyp'n tized by the Comnioner, but he is willing to subscribe tb the moiat stringest down-with-the-trusts- plank, beiieying that trustaought to bejcurbed, and if they: insist on spreading themiselves over the sidewalk where the common man has the sovereign right to sprawl, they should be proinptly kicked beyond the curb. So alienated has Thomas For tune Ryan become from the wiles of Wall street chat he speaks of himseif inclusively as “we Vir ginians” and he longs to get back to the farm, and as a far mer he longs ta see the country upon a revenue basis only. Hav ing enough rievenue himself he generously wants the country to have some. This is the Ryan whom Bryan has been bogjazs- ing. Mr Webb Slated For Place Ashville; J une 30. —It is learned here that former State Senator Charles A, Webb of Buncombe county is on the program for Dem ocratic state chairman to succeed Chairman Eller. Wliile Mr Webb is said to be slated for the job it is known that some of the party leaders and members of the ejcec- utive committee want an eastern man for the place what is not a strong prohibitionist in order that the “wet” counties may be held in line. There will be a meeting at Ral eigh July 8, when the state cha irman, who is to conduct the fight this year for Locke Crag for gov- arnor’ and other Democratic nom inees, will be chosen. Strike Called Off Philadelphia' June [0—There will be no strikes of tie men emp loyes by the Pennsylvania Rai- road Company on its lines east of Pitt.sburg and Erie, in acceptance by a commirtee of the men of an arbitration pioposai and a conce ssion offered by the 5ompany yes terday, bringing about a satisf- actorv settlement of the grievan ces. bii * TNDIVWUAL tfsth Vb mmttructkm, tntamn tf Foster An pay-_ a d in The State Dispatch will Try one and see. To Hold Machinery. In the States captured by Roos evelt in the contest before the convention and where Roosevelt electors have been named, the Boosevelt people hope to hold the party machinery and the party name and they make the claim that the most of these electors, if elected, will vote for Roosevelt. This is no doubt true and if it is the Taft people, if they have e- 3ectors they can depend upon, necessarily be-putin the po sition of bolters from the State organization in having to put out another electoral ticket. On the other hand, where the electors are Taft men, or will stand by tibs. regular nominee, the Roose velt people plan to put out anoth er set of electors. One of the most foolish suggestions that has come from the Roosevelt people, and Roosevelt himself is given the authority, is that in some • of the Southern States a coali- itlon can be formed vrith the Dem- «>erats. The colonel will find •that there will be no fusion of Sora&ern Democrats on the Prop- osition of Rooseveltism.~Ral“ C!igh Times. The Times hits the nail square ^on the head when it says that the Southern Democrats are not go- ing to break away from their par ty to join with Roosevelt. How ever progressive his ideas may be tliey will not turn lo^. This ■will readily slUw the RoaseVeltic Bepublicans ijiow far fetched iiheir idea of poH of th^ Democrats at the Line. Toeing the line for the great est struggle in their histo^, the Democrats are getting their sec ond Y^nd for the race that is set before them. They depend upon their history, but they depend much more upon their present record. Bryan did a strategic thing, and a thing that will call for wide comment, when the Convention ferment simmers down. That was to place the candidate before the platform, to cut the party cloth to suit the proportions of the representative wearer. Uncle Sam has been long represented with baggy trousers. Has not this been be cause of the fact that from the first days of political platforms they have been after thought hustled together in such shape as to justify the expression of the late Senator Hill, ‘ The more one sees of how they are made, the less respect he has for them?" Mr. Bryan took the stand that he did not desire to see the candi date and the platform conduct ing an argument between them selves. He determined, as far as he could effect it, that €he candidate should not be clpthed in baggy attire. How will it turn out? Let the after-campaign say. Let it pass upon the work of the present Convention. Ijet it determine when the men and the platform are before the voters for their support whether the man in his party habiliments is any more Chesterfieldian than has been the case with any prior nominees of the parties. There is more than suspician that the great Demo cratic Convention has been so sedulously occupied in seeking to avoid the appe^nce of evil as to get a sanctimonious twist to the countenance of the donkey that will be interpreted by the irreverent as a knowing grin. There is strong susmcion that much of the matter oi this gath ering was so well prepared in ad vance that the seemingly sponta neous movements were in fact stereotyped. There is strong suspicion that the gives and tak es were as much a frameup as l^ose in soiniB of the great inter- H.

C Human natnre- “It is a Queer thing,”says the Danville Register, “how."a man who has done you a wrong hates you thereafter." SSQueer maybe but it is none tne kss a human characteristic which philosophers, historians, and poets, all down the ages, have observed and commented on. “Whom they have injured they also hate," observes Seneca; while Tacitus declares; “It be longs to human nature to hate those you have injured" Again Dryden puts it in this wise; “Forgiveness to the injured does belong; But they ne'er pardon who have done the wrong."
