A Traveling Man Finds That all About
Bryan la very Popular An In-v-
nta nee of Change In Sentiment In
- California and the Reason.
Te the Editor of The Observer:
. Traveling as I do. reading, listening
. and thinking as is my custom. It 1 a
real pleasure to note the signs of the
times. It is quite evident that the
people are thinking more than ever
before. I have been reading The Ob
server for the past ten years and In
tny opinion never has It been more
clear than now on the political ls-
sues.. The Observer's worthy repre
sentative In Washington. D. C. Mr.
Ghee's write-up on politics In Mary
land was Indeed food for thought. It
is one thing to listen, but far better
to think after listening.
Mr. Bryan, so far In this campaign,
has been thrilling In his utterances.
Surely In my time no man Is read af
ter and discussed more favorably. He
is standing erect and flat-footed1 on
the Democratic platform, and unlesa
something occurs to change the cur
rent of thought he will be the next
President and with him the House
should by all means have a good
: iJtmnrrauc majority,

Correspondence of The Observer.
Statesvllle, Sept. 22. A rather
unique marriage oocurred here Satur
day morning, when Mr. R. Morgan
Keever and Miss Sallle Ward, both of
west Statesvllle, were married at the
home of the officiating minister, Rev.
J. H. Pressly. The bridal couple
accompanied by a sister of the brldt-
elect and a driver, drove into the
back yard of the Pressly home and
called to the minister, and stated that
they wanted to have the knot tied
while they sat in the carriage. Rev
Mr. Pressly Is very accommodating
on such occasions, and he readily
agreed to do as they wished, and
stood on the ground near the vehicle
while he read the ceremony of the
Associate ReCormed Church, which
made the couple man and wife. Im
mediately after the ceremony the
party drove to the station and the
bridal couple left on the Taylorsvllle
train. - They will visit relatives of
the groom at Hlddcnlte and other
points In Alexander county, after
which they will return here to live.
Mr. Keever is an Alexander county
man, but has made his home here
the past few years.

Inquired the cause for this change
na wunoui hesitation the answer was.
"We are tired of 'my policies.' and
1 stand for his policies.' We sr too
great a people for one man to show
a disposition to usurp all the brain
power. We are tired of great aggre
gations of capital paying to elect
public officers for the purpose of hav
ing special favors. Our country and
people are worthy of a better chance
to show true citizenship. We have
been opposed to Bryan In the past,
but He Is speaking so the people can
understand. It Is wonderful what
knowledge the men has of our coun
try and Its needs and we believe now
he haa been right and ws wrong.
Therefore we are for a change end
Bryan Is decidedly our choice. Mr
