Plain facts about it are that his neighbors recognize in Mr. Craig a good man and worthy of the exalted nignlty his party will attempt to se cure for him; and a majority of them are greatly pleased at the nomination of a western man. North Carolina is an empire, in extent and wealth. To be recognized, unanimously, by such a large body as the Democratic vot ers as worthy of being its chief exec utive is a great compliment, a great recognition; and this community so feels it. Mr. Craig Is a man of parts and personality. His neighbors have known him well for a long time. He wears. He is a pleasant companion. He has charm and impresses one as genuine. He is of a presence and dig nity to fit the gubernatorial office, and at the same time he Is vigorous and easily aroused in a cause that appeals to. him, to zealous effort and impassioned oratory. He has the rare gift of eloquence. He has pro found, solemn undelying convictions in democracy. He hai gone far; still a young man, and strong, he may go much further. Mr. Craig Tias already achieved success. He had his years of strug gle a Ions period. He has had to sac rifice much to his political career. But, especially in the past four years, he has achieved remarkable profes sional success. The hearts of his own people are warm to Mr. Craig and they joy In his singular triumph. This nomination is usually equiva lent to election. In North Carolina just now, however, the vast majority of Republicans are also Koosevelters, and a Roosevelter confidently expects the impossible to happen tomorrow, as some sage "Savoyard" quotes says it always does. With Roosevelt the nominee of his party they will en deavor to see that It does happen. They would expect to carry North Carolina for their chief, and would nominate as strong a State ticket as possible and work for It with fervor. With Mr. Taft the nominee and Mr. Roosevelt out of the Held it would be another story. Gloom would ob sess the camp and there might be no very determined attempt to elect any one. CLARK VS. WILSON. The New York World's advocacy of Woodrow Wilson as the most avail able Democratic candidate In the event of Roosevelt's nomination by the Republicans has aroused Col. Wat terron, In his Courier-Journal, to pen a Htrong brief for Champ Clark. The Inception of Col. Wutterson's antag onism to Wilson is a matter of politi cal history. The colonel embraces this occasion to take another whack at the "school master:" No honorable man can learn the facts and Inspect the proof which the editor of the Courier-Journal holds and has repeatedly offered to produce under proper restrictions as to per sonal rights and party Interest, and remain of the opinion thst the gover nor of New Jersey Is either a trust worthy or a safe man to be Invested with Democratic leadership and thu Presidential office. Unfortunately, good breeding and Integrity are not convertible terms, while austerity and virtue are often wide apart. . . . and goes on to term the governor "a doc trinaire man of letters who has ac quired by a lifetime In the classroom the tyrannous cast of mind und the disciplinary habits of the school mas ter, and who, suddenly elevated to the Presidency, would lose all real sense of the relation of things. If ever he possessed any faculty for making common cause and working to har- 6oL Watterson wants a "man of flesh and blood" In the Presidential ohalr, and strongly excepts to the World's characterisation of Champ Clark u a "slang-whanging politi cian" fhom whom Jho east would recoil. Of his choice, he says: All the World says against Champ 'lark was said against Ahraram Un coin. The Democratic party wants a Democrat, a Democrat tried and true, in tne White House. We want no n.in there who thinks himself sn great, and w Me friends think and t"ll him he la so great, that when the test etmcs he Is good for noth- ing. I hamp Clark has been at Wash ington long enough to know who's and what's what. He ought to be and Is good enough for plain people that want a man and not an angel for their President. He has been In the thick of factional fighting during revolutionary times. Inevitably he has said much he might have bettc left unsaid. So have all of us. If he had not he would have been 111 fit for his job or for any other Job. A politician, even a statesman, may be too prudent. Champ Clark Is simply a man an honest man a man of ability and education a man of tlesh and blood. He is a Democrat. On every essential issue of the time he is as sound as a piece of seasoned timber and as straight as a shingle. If we cannot elect him we can elect no one. The comparison of Champ Clark t" Abraham Lincoln hardly tends to add weight to Col. Watterson's indorse ment, which already lacks something of being absolutely convincing In view of his former stand for Wilson and his alienation for causes which, so far as the public knows, were chim erical. It is difficult to conceive of a situation in which Mr. Clark would be in the running, even with the sup port of Col. Watterson and Mr. Hearst. REVOLUTIONIZING IDEAS AS TO ANIMAL LIFE. Dr. Alexis Carrel, in charge of re search work at the Rockefeller insti tute in New York, has announced a discovery which is not only interest ing from a scientific viewpoint, but which is capable of immediate appli cation in surgery. It Is no less than the ability to make tissues live and grow alter tneir removal iroin mi- body. He declares it possible to transplant after death tissues and or gans which compose the body that has ceased to live to other identical organisms and that when made a part of another similar body life in them continues. They may be preserved ilive In various media for a period of nine months. This discovery has already been utilized by a few surgeons and Dr. Carrel announces that the institute is prepared to furnish the living tissues for use in operations. Transplanta tions of skin and bone will therefore be greatly simplified, it being no long er necessary to remove the tissue im mediately from one living body to an other. In addition Dr. Carrel expects the facts already developed to lead to other Interesting developments Hi investigations have reached the pres ent stage after six years of experi- ent and even now have revolution ized ideas as to animal life. The peaches are coming from the lowlands to the mountains. Some of 'em look slightly malarial, but the essential blush will soon develop in our unrivalled ozone. The facts as developed Indicate that Judge Hanford of Seattle should be "recalled" in the orderly manner provided by the constitution. The convention endorsed Senator Simmons and the Democratic voters of North Carolina will In all proba bility do the same. This weather is fearfully handicap ping the principal summer business; I. e., baseball. The Wilsonites seem to be getting into the general habit of winning. The prize acres of corn are thriv ing and their owners are happy. The Mountaineers are now when mountaineers should be. They are coming back from Ral eigh with the goods. "There is vindication in history." The cantaloupe is in our midst. TAFT DRAWS FIRST (Continued from page one). basis of representation In the conven tion was continued as at present. Flynn to Chicago. Oyster Bay, June 7. State Senator William Flynn of Pittsburgh waf dispatched post haste to Chicago by Colonel Roosevelt to act as the ex- presldent's representative In Ihe fight in the national committee over seating delegates. The decision was reached after a conference last night In which the situation at Chicago, as told to the colonel over his private wires, from the seat of war, was discussed Colonel Roosevelt was careful to explain that the leadership of his fight would remain where It has been, in the hands of Senator Dixon, his campaign manager. ' "Senator Flynn starts for Chicago nt once." he said. "He Is going at my request. Senator Dixon will be In charge. Mr. Flynn will assist him." Order of Nomination-.. Washington, June 7. President Taft'; name msy not be the first to he presented to the republican ns tlnnal convention st Chicago and In fact Taft leaders still In Washington said that the president's name mlghi not be put before the convention until after Colonel Roosevelt has been placer In nomination. It became known that when C. D. Hlllea left for Chicago he carried with him a draft of a tentative plan for the presents tlon of his name to the convention. That plan was declared to hn subject to alteration by Taft leaders now In Chicago and of course by Mr. Taft If he finds It unsuitable before the day when the nominations are made. According the plan taken sway by Mr. Hlllea to name of Senator Cummins of Iowa, who has ten dels- gates from his own state pledged to him. may the first given to the convention. BLOOD AT CHICAGO GREAT RECEPTION IS Officials, Citizens and Regi mental Band Will Meet Hon. Locke Craig. NON-PARTISAN AFFAIR; EVERYONE IS INVITED He Will Ho Escorted Willi Fitting Ceremony From Station to His Residem e. A mammoth mass reception Is being planned for the purpose of giving Hon. Locks Craig, democracy's unani mous choice for governor, an oration when he returns to the city from Ital elgh, where he received the nomina tion, the like of which has not been seen for many years. The committee on arrangement has not yet learneil Just when he will arrive, but it is making strenuous efforts to that end and the Southern railway and the Western Union are co-operutlng. It is to be a ndh-partlsan affair, everybody in the city has an Invitation to be present, and it is not thought that in vitations will be very necessary. Mr. Craig will be met at the station and escorted to the square, where it li" expected that be will make a speech, if the weather permits; he will then be escorted to his Montford avenue residence. The committee has arranged to have the band, all the public officials, city, county and federal, the other prominent citizens, an escort of police and the tire trucks. All persons who have automobiles are asked to take their wives and friends to the depot. When Mr. Craig arrives at the sta tion he will be greted with the thrill ing strains of "See the Conquering Hero Comes." by the Regimental band. A committee on reception will advance and welcome him with cere mony, suitable to the occasion. Mrs. Craig will be present and an automo bile has been provided for her and her illustrious husband. The line of March will be up Southslde, South Main to Pack square, where a stop will be made for the speech of the future governor. It will then proceed down Patton avenue, out Haywood to Montford and on to the residence. First will come the First Regiment band, followed by the loaded fire trucks: then an escort of mounted po lice which will be followed by Mr. and Mrs. Craig. Rehind them will be prominent public officials, all in auto mobiles, and after them the mass of the people. It is expected that the line will be a long one and there will be no dearth of enthusiasm. It will be one of the happiest occasions in the history of the city. Only twice before has such a thing been possible and not at all since the war, and the people will certainly not lose the op portunity to make the best of it. Anyone who desires additional in formation about the reception can ob tain it from a member of the com mittee on arrangements. Judge J. !. Adams, Robert M. Wells and W. G, Fortune. They desire it to be perfect ly understood that It is to be a non partisan occasion and would like to have as many automobiles at the sta tion as possible. (Continued from page one). Kitchin people were chief supporters of Daniel, who hud been on the floor of the convention most of the even ing. Relays to the lunch counters were the order of the convention at this period. Daughtrldge made big gains, his followers making a superb fight. Re sult: Daniel, 393.40; Shaw, 301.20 Oaughtridgo, 355,93. Necessary for choice, 482. K. L. Travis of Halifax was noml nated on the first ballot over S. G Daniel of Warren to succeed himself for the short term as corporation com mlt,sioner. The vote stood: Travis. 556; Daniel, 368; Bagwell, 32. Clash Over Resolution. The expected clash between thi Kitchln and Simmons forces came with the report of the resolutions committee over a section which "In dorned the record of our senators and representatives In congress and th administration of our governor and state officers. s Following the reading of the ma torlty report by Cameron Morrison, Judge J. S. Manning, for the Kitchln people, presented a minority report declaring that the question of In dorsement of the record of Simmons and Kitchln was a question for the voters of the state to decide and the convention should not attempt tn prejudice the action of the voters. Manning offered a substitute In the words: "We Indorse the record of the democratic party In the state an the nation." Morrison took the floor In behalf of the majority report and anked for fulr play and Justice. The Kitchin forces attempted ti prevent Morrison from speaking, but he stood his ground. "If F. M. Him mons is not a democrat, who uf?" he asked. "The Kltchlnites believe that only a Kitchln man has a right to hold office." "Yes, he voted for Ixirlmer," shout ed the speaker, walking toward th Kitchln people, "hut that was not half as bad as trying to fuse with Marlon Butler. If the democratic party can not Indorse the record of Its senators representatives and state officers, how can we expect the people to do sn In November? The question Is larger than Kitchin or Simmons. "Simmons has a record Indorsed h) the people of the senate who under stand him best. Simmons has never voted against a measure which ema nated from a democratic source. "We want to stand by Webb, Page. Doughton and ull the democrats. I wish you had temper enough for me to discuss Hie Lcrliner case. That BEING PLANNED WILSON WINS AND SIMMONS CHARLES H.

Grant's Pharmacy was a judicial case, and if Simmons was an honest man he should decide it .is he sees fit. He voted for a re-1 opening of the case and before this' case was finally disposed of you Kite h-! in people began to condemn a judge ' before the evidence was in. Every ' Kitchin man quakes in his boots fear-' ing that Simmons will vote to turn LoVlmer out." The members of the committee were Judge J. S. Manning, Claude Kitchin and R. S. Neal, and Mr. Mor-1 rison asked if they were far enough i removed from prejudice to bring m 1 an unprejudiced report. Judge Manning, whose voice does not compare with Cain Morrison's, had even greater trouble in getting hearing. He argued that a pri mary had been requested to settle this. After severnl minutes of dis- rder Cain Morrison requested the people to hear Manning. "We are not afraid to hear him," declared he. Manning argued the minority resolu tion was fair to all democrats. W. C. Hammer of Ashboro de lared that in the close counties the democrats wanted to avoid the sena torial, question, but In discussing is sues with republicans they want to indorse Overman, Page and others. "How about Simmons?" came the call. "This is not the time or place to discuss Kitchin and Simmons. The man I wanted his departed this life," he replied. He said the indorsement of Kitchin's administration was neces sary in the west, else the radicals would use the convention's action as a cudgel "to break our necks." Ham mer avoided mentioning indorsement f Simmons. He asked in the name f the white democrats of the west to vote down the minority report. A. L. BrooRs of Greensboro said he held no brief for any man; had not ittcnded a Kitchin Meeting in the fifth district but thought the 150,000 democrats didn't want the opinion of the convention. He thought the mi nority report was sufficient. Judge J. D. Murphy spoke in favor f following the time honored cus tom of indorsing worthy public ser vants. John T. Bellamy claimed that the democratic parly could not indorse what he termed, the paradoxical rec ord of the state's congressmen and senators. Friends of Senator Simmons won a signal victory when about 12:30 this morning the Manning or minority re port to the majority report of the platform committee was rejected by in almost two to one vote. The vote was, for resolution, 363. !'8 ayes, 598.1 7 noes. The maporlty report went through unscathed with Kitchin faction yell ing "No." THE MARKETS New York. June 7.
