MONDAY, JULY 6, 1908. DEEMED RIPE FOR A XKW N AME. The break away from the hlstorlo Democratic party by Mr. Bryan and in follower iia i UH a r u s b'-"0 been so "harp and obvious that at tempt to deny It are now scarcely ever heard. Only a little while ago wo took -occasion to remark that ln- tellectua honesty might Inspire ad- ocates of the various popullstic doc trines and the Intellectually Identical doctrine of "sumptuary legislation'' Mr. Bryan, for a wonder, not among the latter with desire for a new na"roe. Here, In fact, comes Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, a gov ernment ow ner after Mr. Bryan own heart, rith Just uch an expressed desire. . "Tho only thing for the friend of Bryan to'do." said Tom L. while In Chicago on hlx way to Den ver, "Is to corne out and lU-ht In the open. Bryan is a radical. Those who support him are radicals. Iladlcallsm is the only hope of the nation. 'on- servatlsm spells disaster to all except a few of the favored. Have a radical platform, change the name of the party to Itndl.-.il and those opposed to plutocracy Will send a radical President- to Washington. There can be no half way measures." This Radical party, standing for the unwearied extension of government power along lines leading ultimately to avowed (Socialism, may yet be with us.

The trip will pay for Itself several times over and the fun will he Just so much extra This is ax good time as any to say to our constituency, for its Interest and enlightenment, and In behalf of a good understanding, that since Mr. H. K. C. Bryant went to Washington the first of last December Mr. Win ston n. Adams has been city editor of The Observer and will so continue. During the recess of Congress Mr. Bryant will remain in the fitate as special writer and engaged In field work a position of his preference and for which he has particular adaptability returning to Washing ton when Congress assembles the first Monday In December. Tho relations of the other of The Observer's bright young men remain unchanged, and there has been no change as to the two mentioned, except as stated, but w: have thought It not amiss to (le fine their status definitely. A fact In connection with the re cent State convention on which too little emphusls hus been laid Is that no convention ever had a finer presid ing officer. The amiability and poise of Chairman Parsons from first to last and It was a long time betweenthe two points were admirable. Upon no one else was the responsibility so grean upon no one else the draft on nerve force so heavy. Under the re sponsibility and the nervous tension, great as they were, he measured up. The Houston Post proposes to take chars,, i.f South Carolina next year, after which, it nfmre us. "there will he no further, attacks upon the gen uineness of the Mecklenburg Declara tion or the validity of North fiatflil Una's claim of being the birthplace of Andrew jin kson." Which assurance, we fear, will have the effect of incit ing ever-en lous Kru.th Carolina to make the most of th remaining In terval. The principal objection to the etec tlon of the Ttepublican candidate for President is that It would ontall upon us four full years of Charlie.

The South will not go unrepresent ed on- the natlbnal tickets this year, since, besides Populiat Nominee Wat-Son,-there will probably hi Prohi bition Nominee Seaborn, Wright both president Is) candidates and both hailing from Jeorglal North Carolina could supply all th. parties and still have tpouga left to run the State. . -, .f r n uvie .

TJeti ;ver7C6T.7 Juty"37 Tn'sTTce preiP identlal situation has undergone a change during the day, owing to cer tain definite subterranean informa tion from Lincoln to the effect that Mr. Bryan feels that It would be wise to defer any definite action as to the second place on the ticket until the first place has been finally disposed of. This comes in such a direct way that it will doubtless have the effect of postponing any caucus action by the New "York or other delegations favorable to any particular candidacy. Meantime tne various boomlets are undergoing varying fortunes. - The Gray forces are insistent as ever that Judge Gray will not take second place, wnne the Bryan forces continue to talk of the availability of Gray, John Aiitcnen, the labor leader: or Towne, the New York orator. The arrival of Mitchell to-night with Samuel Gom- pers ana other leading knights of the aDor world. Is expected to give an impetus to- the Mitchell movement. although he comes primarily to aid Gompers In shaplnr the labor planks. New i ork s position as to the vice presidency remains the same as out lined in the Associated Press dis patches last night. The boom for Judge William J. Oaynor, of Brook lyn, continued to die away to nothing and there was a distinct confirmation of the belief that New York Is to offer no randidate at all.

Thomas, of Colorado, who will represent that State on the ommittee on resolutions in the com- ng convention, to-day declared with seriousness that he was for Roosevelt for Vice 'President.' "He is by long odds the strongest man we could name," he said, "and I believe that if his name should be presented, he would prove a winner and that if nominated he would accept; I don't see how he could refuse." "Aren't you afruld thaLlf you g-et discussing Roosevelt t strongly or any position the convptatlon will be stumpeded for him for firs? place?" a Republican bystander asked. "I shouldn't be surprised." replied Governor Thomds; '"a worse thin might come upon us; he is the strong- st man that could bo nominated, and f the people should get together and nominate him on an Independent tlck- t I am sure he would beat both the other nominees."

Colonel Guffey does not meet that requirement, I notice that the colonel is very antagonistic to Mr, Bryan.

POLITICS IN THREE STATES. Comment oil primaries In Florfcfe, the Contest Between Smith and Brow in Georgia and the lUft'JU North Carolina Convention ami its Action To the. Editor of -The Observer: Thi wrRe. was in Florid ' a few weeks ago when tha first primary fight wag tin In earnest,, Ths-former nghters and . workers were for Qov- ernorlBroward and his friends; the first primary did not settle It between Governor Broward and Fletcher - for the Senate, Broward had a nice- I ad over Fletcher for the second primary and Broward's- friends felt reasonably sure. But Fletcher , won. The first primary In Florida Is free-for-all. : If the result is not majority over all, then all but the two highest drop out. and tbe second primary is held to. settle the question eetween the two candidates. Com Ins; on to Georgia the Brown nd Smith fight was :pn Jn great shape. Smith's friends were sure, but Brown won. Being on tho ground was not hard for an outsider to reel! on the results, as Smith had all the factions against him. The bulk the business Interest seemed to be for Smith. The factions played on the ignorance of certain classes. The f ol lowing conversation was listened to i Quitman. Ga.. (between two ' farmers apparently fairly well-to-da. the first one saia: "mil. miui is responsible for the panhr.-for the closing-down- of the sawmills, the Idle engines and running foreign Investors ou of the State, and If he Is elected again out cotton will have no market." The second man said: "John, if "you be neve -such -"blamed rotas -that, you should be disfranchised with the ne groes." So the battle raged. Coming on home J arrived In time to be a spectator In tlfe three-corner ed fight In our own Statu convention rve aftended many great conven "lions in several States, but never be fore looked upon a finer "body of men than those composing ouT'DemocratlC convention Just adjourned. The stick ing qualities of the delegates for thel choice was Indeed admirable, parllcu larly so with the Kltchln men. It re minded me of the groat war days have witnessed the Tar Heels In bat tie: thev stood as firm ss these dele gates. In two of these contests the old leaders were defeated. Does this mean that this year will change th heretofore usual results? If ever man that calls himself a Democrat East, North and West, will vote fo the Denver convention's choice, who ever he may be, Mr. Taft will go 'way back when the ballots are counted In the November election, and the coun trv will he in better shspe than eve before. It needs a change to restore confidence. With a change, the peo pie will be better representor and the political bosses will be more ready to serve than to rule. As to me-Mrutn cm section of our great country, you cap depend on 1t to-'he In the lead of progress. L,et the rar.mer get goou prices for his present crop and what he has held over this Tall ant De reasonable in his demands for stand ard prices in the future, with a Dem ocrat as President and the House Democratic, you will not hear any more of a panic for years.

To the Editor of The Observer: There was a fellow at the park who sang a song the other night the re frain of which was that "somebody lied." Many of your readers will re call It, for they laughed Heartily at his exposure of various false pretenses. I am reminded of It In convention with the Invitations addressed gather ing bodies of men by "dry" towns all promising exemption from drought Surely alcohol has a permanent and loving abiding place In the affections of Kelt unci Saxon 6r It would not be necessary to Invoke his ghost (his ghose, Mr, Speaker!) to conjure with Yet i hat is the best argument for a convention that we will not carry but the law the women and children have placed on s for our own good may hap, but still that they have placed nnd we promise to disobey when the neighbors cnll.

Chattanooga Times, We have on various" occasions cheerfully attested the popular admi ration, for ex-Governor Aycock. of North Carolina, because of his great ability, his fidelity to his convictions of right and a certain quality render ing him somewhat eccentric among public men at the front during the past few years, namely a sane and orderly conservatism -in-thought and action.
