CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, JULY 19, 1003. "'AL'IXG TICKET POSTPONED (.Continued from Sajf OneV : c an executive rommittM la celling t.-.s flat Republican ' convention to r in the City of Charlotte n tne L-ih day of August nxt. wash they ;a be welcomed by a harmonious aao w.ited local organisation. - j -..--, "Resolved, third! That we; earnest ly urge upon the Republican State.orr Ionization that 'ever effort t0 u sed 'by it ia ucur the ereseace of Hon. WU- Jiam H. Tart; -the Republican nomi nee 'for tha presidency or cne umwa States, at our approaching State conr ventlon." - Amid cheers and applause, tha res olutions wtra adopted. Amid ealla or "Henry" "Henry," the undaunted and stalwart champion of Republican.! tm and bloodhounds. Col. wsaer n. Henry, atroda to the front, laid violent heads upon the UWa In rreni, o mm and for about naif aa nw si some. If aver there was a martyr to cause, tha colonel laid down bis per- unit eStafert on the altar or nis ae- vatioa to Taft and Taftlsm. For near half-hour his thunderous tones re sounded throughout the building, his loauimt nerioda -of alternate euiogy and sarcasm uninterrupted even by - his constant swipes wttn a oig nana kerchlef, as the perspiration exuded from tils ardent face. . "I dont know f any factions in the Republican party la the State of North Carolina," was his opening dec- : laretiee. "But I desire to express my (ratification at the words and tone of the splendid resolution just acted on. Jt Is nnnecessary far me to say. gen . tlemea, la tha presence of the enemy, 'almost within the sound of the roar of her gun. that it Is absolutely neces ' aary to have unity of action. As the great Republican hosta swerp on to a ' national victory, and as, we believe, to a SUte victory. It is highly necessary 1 that the Republicans of Mecklenburg should fall in line In harmony. In union there Is strength and in the presence of differences and bickerings there can be ne nicer. ., ETCCESH A CERTAINTY. Ts there a Republican In North Carolina, Is there a Republican in the ' entire nation, who ioc not believe ab solutely that Hon. William H. Taft will be the next PreHldent of the t'. &.V demanded Colonel Henry. "Oo out an the streets of Charlotte and if : you could put the Democrats en oath, : seven out of ten of them, I believe, would tell you thst It-is absolutely Impossible to elect Bryan President of the United States." v The speaker declared that Mr. Bry- dlcapped than ever before. Not for lack -of moral character, but be has been repudiated by his own Htato when he asked te be nent to the Unit ed 8tates Senate. He hai been twice repudiated by the people of the coun- - try as a candidate for the presidency and Judge Parker, whom he and his party supported four years ago, waa repudiated also, being abo1utly over whelmed. Not only this, continued the speak - : er, but the Democrats have no heart In this campaign. "They know that they have as an opponent of their twice-defeated candidate in William H. Taft the grandest combination of sart, brain and confidence beneath the flag." (Cheers). Colonel Henry told of his support ; for the Democratic ticket on the Stump In 1192 and when in 1894 it had It, distinct promises all but one of which It broke, he left the party, as he had said he would do In that rase. ., tie men tooK the platrorm In North Carolina and traversed the . Btate from end to end. He carried With him a huge blackboard pn which he wrote the promisea one by one. Showed how eaoh had been broken, eraced that and then wrote up anoth- r. The' one unbroken promise was to repeal the Federal election law. IT o BKTAXISM NOW. "There is no Democratic party," I Shouted Colonel Henry. "We have i Aearg or gold Democrats, prohibition Democrats and sntl-prohibitlon Dem ocrats all kinds of Democrat. It has changed its skin and t-day the . Democratic party has been mergod ln , to the Bryan party and the Democrat ic party la dead. The issue to-day is Republicanism, the continuance of principle, or Bryanlam. the elevation ot a man. The Democratic party na tionally is a one-man party and Bry ; an Is the man. "While the Democratic press of the country ia engaged i" discussing the question raised by Tom Watson as to whether or not Bryan declarer! he would not support a Confederate sol- nsimn naving given tne name ENDORSED Ootto' Moora could tell JV about j no list of these obtainable. Only ne ur (WO vuicu. . , -V. ,, rJt"-M TO pJSTRUCTIOJjs Mr. Albright was on Tils feet, with a motion that the delegation be sent to the State convention unlnstructed" and that each .delegate have the right te cast "his fractional part of jthe county's vote "for any person lie desires. ' "ItH take a lawyer tojlgurs out tha proportionate parjUT aald McherrUl, amid laughterT-" vy.' " ' Mr. Newell amended by making. Mr. Hall official figurer, - but bis amend ment was out of order.: 'Question,' demanded Mr. Albright, his features unrelaxed in their determination. "Mr. Albright seems to think some body's going to try to gag him." said Mr. Newell. "Nobody has said any thing about sending the delegates In- structed. But r want to vote against this motion in tha Interest of har mony." ' Confusion waa reigning new. Half a dosea were articulating simultane ously but unsuccessfully. Repeating his motion, Mr. Albright added the words "according te the number present." "No, no, said Mr. Newell, "this convention has no right te trade off anybodya vote." Tha chair said It thought the SUte convention would rule on the method of vot ing. If we go unlnstructed we are not Instructed," was the contribution of Delegate Lents to the general merri ment. Mr. William White amended to let the) precinct committee have tha power to decide. The calls for "Ques tion" were getting vociferous. Mr. Howell was In favor of going unln structed, if the motion stopped there. The motion waa put and declared lost. "I don't know whether 4he ayes have (tot It or not" said Mr. Albright. 'I call for a vote by precincts." Mr. Hall poured oil on the troubled wat ers, saying he was a friend to both sides and so no necessity for the mo tion. The matter was dropped. Mr. J. C. Ia. Junker moved the nom ination of a county ticket be postponed until after the State convention. Mr. R. E. McDonald started the fun again with a motion to thank the delegates to the congressional convention for their work in nominating Mr. Smith. Mr. Will II. Barkley said the thing ought to be voted on. Mr. Smith had been nominated and If there was a man in the convention calling him self a Republican who was unwllllg to vote for Smith he would like te see his face. Mr. Newell saw no reason why they should fall to endorse a Republican candidate. "I move we endorse Mr. Taft for President." said Col. Ike Hlrshberg, prominently mentioned for coroner against Mr. W. A. Oresham. This was sarcHHm. "If there's a man bee who won't support Smith, all right, let him sit still," said Mr. Barkley again . "I called for a vote on this thing," said Mr. Sherrlll, "out of oourtesy to the Republican party. I wasn't afraid of the vote and am not now. I have been a Republican ver since I waa 21 nd I now rise In my might, with my toryrue and my talent to tell you that I will support him and that I can do as much for hjm as any man In Meck lenburg county." Mr. Wiil White felt honored to vote for any white man on the Republican ticket. The motion was put and carried. About a half-dosen refused to vote for it, eitting in their seats. It was moved and carried that the convention adjourn to meet Septempe 5th. Saturday, at 2:30 o'clock, to tiom Inate a county ticket. It was 5 o'clock when adjournment was taken. "And they laud to the skies tha Confederate soldieclut how 'does ho fare at the hands of their great con- ventlon? They meet on thelOth of every May and get sflmov- eloquent orator like sny friend, Ji T." McColl ever there, to apeak so fceantifuly of their services in ehair oi tneir coun try and of !our -regard for'. them that the-ladies and others are moved to tears. Then, the horns are tooted a few times, a few boauets are scattered ant avervbodv roes away feeling that the Confederate veterans have been suitably honored. "But how about the old, gray-haired veterans." shouted the speaker, "on whose Boyish shoulders the epaulets were pinned by the hand or Kooers E.

And they kick him oat of the convention!" Over's nee u 1st ion caused by over- confidence resulting from the great era of prosperity brought on Dy MCKin ley and the Republican party waa ths cause or tne panic or ivi-u. which was described as being, com pared with that of "9. as a sepnyr which plays against a lady's cheek to a cyclone. For every bank that went down in 190$ it was twenty-fold worse in 1891. In conclusion the speaker pleaded for united action and harmony. Taft the watchword ana ine glory and prosperity of the republic as the result. FOR DELEQATE-AT- LARGE. In terms of commendation. Mr. Newell moved that the convention re commend Colonel Henry to the btate convention for nomination as elector at-larsre. This carried unanimously. Mr. Tt. A. Barkley then offered tne following resolution, which was una-n ImoiiHly adopted, the clerk casting the vote: "Resolved. That the Republican party of Mecklenburg county, in con vention assembled, tenders Its thank" to the Greater Charlotte Mub. and other clubs, the officials of the city government and the business men of the city for their cordial support in brlnrln the State Republican con vention to Charlotte . on the 26th of August nest; and expreae our belief that such a broad nnlrlt of promo fion and fair consideration argues well for the future and progress of our great Commonwealth." A motion waa made by Mr. Henry Sherrill that the ronventlon endorse the recent nomination by he slnth district Republican coogressionRl con vention of Mr. John A. Bmlth. of Ben semer City, for Congress. This was the motion, later renewed. which caused one of the liveliest fights in the convention, being Anally paaaed. The motion Includes a pledge that each member would do all in his pow er to advance his candidacy. Mr. Warren Vinea Hall -objected that the gentlemen had already been nominated, was on the ticket and if a motion like this would pans the Im pression would get out that there waa aomu opposition to Mr. Smith and there's no denying that Just that Im presalon did leak out. Mr. Hall said the motion was superfluous. "I call for a vote," "insisted"' Mr. Bherrill. "I'd like to. know what op position there can be to my motion I've got a club of 85 members out here and I've organized another with 45 and I can vote them all for him." "I want to know whether this con vention is under consideration of mo tions or of due business," interposed Mr. Judd Albright. "I think the motion is out of or der," volunteered the chair, rather hesitatingly. "I call for the order of business," said Mr. Judd. "You recognized me on the floor. Tou've got to put my motion," Insist ed Mr. fcwrill. The chair stuck to its poitn and the matter was dropped temporarily. Not less lively was the verbal war which came next as to ths manner of choosing delegates to the State convention. Mr. W. A. Howell moved that a committee be appointed by the chair to recommend to the convention suitable names for then.; portions. Mr. Hall amended. Ho wanted to give all present wlw wished to attend as delegates tne privilege of handing In their names to the secre tary, thin act to constitute them delegates. Mr. Newell objected. Homebody, he aald, had to be ac credited. The Jfiotlon he declared ! not feasible. It Is impossible to tell ! where the delegation will be seated and what number can be acoommo ! dated. If Cleveland sends 200, as re- ported. It will be the polite thin for , .Mecklenburg to give way to them. 300. Mecklen- i burg is entitled to 7 votes, j Mr. Hall's amendment was second -I ed, voted on and lust. Mr. Howell's motion was declared carried, but there i were cries of "IHvlslon," "I call for j a rising vote." A vote by precincts i was taken and the result was for , the motion. 16 1-4: against 1110-12. , It was declared carried. The chair ; appointed the fallowing delegation ; committee: Messrs. E. C. Miller, J. V. Newell, D. A. Harkley, W. A. Howell, J. D. AlbrUht. W. T. Houton, T. W. Garrison. precinct chairmen ' were acked to act as an advisory board. DKLEOATKS TO CONVENTION.

The navy has an excellent enlisted personnel. But 129 of the 13,000 Jackies on the Atlantic battleship fleet were reported as absentees when It left Han Francisco Bay. The navy of ficials believe that of this number, constituting but 1 per cent, of the whole, hardly moro than one-fourth were deserters. The record Is grati fying, at a time when desertions from the army are numerous enough to cripple whole companies and regi ments. Ths annual applications for naval enlistment have risen from 04.1 in 1902 to 45,091 In 1907, and the number of men annually enlisted from 10.214 to 14,329. Why should . desertions from the navy be so few? Sections 1998 and 1998 of the Federal Revised Statutes provide that persons who have desert ed, or shall hereafter desert, "are deemed to have voluntarily relin quished and forfaited their rights of citizenship as well an their rights to become citizens," and "such deserters shull be forever Incapable of holding any ofllce of trust or profit under the I'nned Ktates or exercising any rights of citizenship thereof." This dooming of deserters to be come men without a country applies equally to the land and sea forces, and. while it ia thought by Secretary Metcalf to be too harsh a punishment In time of peace. It can act as a de terrent to sailors no more than to sol diers. Morover, the law which pro vides for tha, arrest of deserters and their delivery "Into the custody of the military authority" does not apply to the navy at all; sailors on shore leave at San Francisco might have deserted In a body, and no legal power could have been Invoked to force them back to their ships. The greater popularity of naval ser vice, then, must be in the "lure of the sea." in the anticipation of visiting many lands, peoples and climes, and In the rivalry of the ships and the su perior training of the men. Then, too, the sailor is beset with no invidious comparisons ct a volunteer . navy, whereas the regular soldier Is at a so cial disadvantage with the popular na tional volunteer troops.
