CHAIRMAN SWAIN.
Speaking further of successful
chairmen rarely there come oppor
tunities by which a man is given
chance to show the stuff he is made
of. Such an opportunity came during
the campaign Just closed to J. E,
Swain, chairman of the county Demo
cratic executive committee. Mr. Swain
in a young man; he Is not what would
be called a seasoned politician, and
not suposed to be versed in all the
various kinks and devious ways by
which local chairman nearly always
conducted their campaigns. And he
was not; nor did he attempt to learn
if appearances count for anything. At
the beginning he flew in the face of
all precedent and declared that the
day of the ward heeler was over; that
the organization would not sanction
the buying of votes. His opponents
agreed to the same thing. Both par
ties had been milked by the iniquitous
floating voter. And did anyone hear
of any votes being bought on election
day? Take note of the light vote that
was polled. Who did not see the dis.
gruntled floaters standing astonished?
They were not approached.
Throughout the whole campaign
Mr. Swain maintained that the Demo
crats would roll up a record majority
in the county, even when the most
trusted lieutenants were sending in
alarmist reports. To be sure, he had
much against which to contend. He
understood that to the commonality
the county democracy had many weak
spots In its armor none better. He
recognized that there was a large-dissatisfied
element in the party, dissatis
fied almost to the point of rebellion
through a misunderstanding of what
the party had really done. And these
he handled quietly, so that they never
knew they were being handled. In
fact, they were not; he was only help
ing them to see the Issues as they be
fore had seen them. The results
showed that he smoothed the rising
discontent
One who had worked by the county
chairman throughout the campaign
one accustomed to see things which
are before his eyes, said that the won
der of the campaign was the ease
with which he overcame the difflcul
tls which confronted him and made
little of them, when some of the lead
ers were In fear of the results.
Mr. Swain 1 not a diplomat He
cannot dissemble. The people know
this, and knowing it the discontented
believed what he told them. The re.
su!U showed it
BRVCE'S RETIREMENT,
The retirement of James Bryce as
ambassador from Great Britain to the
United States and his consequent re
moval from Washington will be an
occasion of wide and general regret
in this country. Mr. Bryce is easily the
most notable figure In the diplomatic
corps at Washington. Traveler, states
men, man of letter and political phi
losopher, the like of whom 1 hardly
to be found Mr. Bryce would be an
ornament to any capital. HI place In
the regard of American 1 especlaly
high. A a discerning but sympathetic
critic of our governmental system,
whop best exposition I perhaps to
be found In one of hi work hi
name ha long been mere on the Up
of American than that of any other
Englishman.
There are other circumstance 'at
tending his return to private life
which make It especially regrettable,
unles the fruit of the literary labor
in which he purpoae to engage are
compensation. HI removal from the
field of diplomacy I a blow to; the
cause of International peace, for
which he ha been a conspicuous and
Intelligent worker, and he quit pub
lic lire under the criticism of a con
siderable body of Englishmen. This
la due to hi labor In behalf of Ca
nadian reciprocity, which placed him
In an unfavorable light after the fau
paa of President Taft la making pub
lic hia opinion that reciprocity would

' .tl.l.-nt uerldedln on the da-1
and the President made public eome
'of his confidential letter to the col
onel. The English unolnists immedi
ately began a strong attack on Mr.
Bryce and the Asquith minority, and
soon thereafter the rumor became cur
rent of the ambassador' coming re
tirement The minority denied any
dissatisfaction with ' his course and
several prepared to stand behind him,
but the event has proved the sound
basis of that discredited rumor.
THE TIMES DEMAND ACTIO.V.
The great need for the Democratic
party to use all the wisdom of its
leadership in making the most of its
t nnnrti,nitv u forwfullv brouaht
to mind by the statement Issued last
night by Col. Roosevelt. The powerful
place In which the result of the elec
tion has left him and his associates
is not overstated. The Colonel deals
in facts when he declares "the Pro
gressive party has polled between four
and four and one-half million votes,
has hopelessly beaten one of the old
parties, both in the electoral college
in the popular vote; has taken second
place In the nation and first or sec
ond place in some 87 of the 48
States." In an interview the other
day Governor Hadley, who before the
Chicago convention was pro-Roose- j
velt and who since has proved one of
the sanest and most conspicuous lead
ers of Progressive Republicans who
chose to cast their fortunes with Taft,
observed that no fundamental eco
nomic differences divided the Repub
lican party and the Third party.
With a situation like this confront
ing it, it is no time for the Democratic
party to potter around and hesitate!
to perform the things which it has
the mandate of the country to do.
And Its pre-eminent task is to carry
out its promises in regard to tariff re
vision. The longer this is delayed, the
more time will the forces of division
have time to work. Clearly a .proper
conception of Progressive achieve
ments and an adequate conception of
Colonel Roosevelt's political power and
possibilities are potent arguments
against those who would make haste
too slowly in this matter.
WHO IS A DEMOCRAT?
For a period of several years the
esteemed New York World was wont
to ask, at frequent Intervals: "What
is a Democrat?"
In this State the opponent of Sen
ator Simmons charged that the. sena
tor was not a Democrat, and on elec
tion day, when Democrats presented
themselves at the polls, the super-
serviceable Kltchin adherents were on
hand to warn those who wished to
participate In the senatorial primary.
not to "vote for a Republican."
The returns show that Senator
Simmons got twice as many vote as
did Governor Kltchin, who led In the
fight on the senator, charging un
faithfulness to the Democratic cause,
and he got three or four times as
many votes as did Judge Clark who,
It was presumed, would gain an ad
vantage from the hostile attitude of
Mr. Bryan toward the senior North
Carolina senator.
Now then, seeing how the Issue has
been submitted to the crucible of the
ballot, who, in North Carolina, Is a
Democrat?
A considerable majority of Demo
cratic members of congress who have
expressed themselves favor an extra
session of congress. Say Mr. Under
wood: "The tariff must be revised
and the sooner It 11 done the better
it will be for the bu.sfneaa world. We
could get through this reviled tariff
bill by July, 1913, and have it out of
the way. If it is delayed until the
following December the business peo
ple will become restless and timid
over the delay. We must act a quick
ly as possible, for nothing i so detri
mental to business a uncertainty, es
pecially uncertainty over tariff meas
ures." If delayed until the regular
session It would be -well Into 1914 be
fore the new tariff would become ef
fective. If we are to have three major par
ties, with possibly other to be added
from time to time, there will be no
more Presidents chxaien by a majority
of the popular vote.' Should the Pro
gressive party' phenomenal rate of
growth continue, horvever, the coun
try will revert to tlfae two-party y-
tem. The Republicaci party' fearful
Hie from first to third place may be
a start toward extinction. Powerful
effort will be made to. rehabilitate It;
Indeed, the effort to supply the brake
ha been In progress since last July,
sad not without a measure of suc
cess.

When Baby
has Croup
Every Mother should know
about Booth's HYOMEI
In any home where a child has a
tendency to croup, a bottle of HYO
MEI (pronounce it High-o-me) should
be kept constantly on hand.
A sudden attack of croup with dif
ficult breathing and extreme distress
is apt to come on at any time.
The course to be pursued is plain.
Send for your
doctor at once
and in the
meantime drop
30 drops of
HYOMEI Intr
a bowl of boil
ing water an
hold the child's
head over it
covering with
a towel or
cloth, so that only the air filled with
HYOMEI vapor Is breathed.
This method of treatment has
saved many a child's life, and mother?
of croupy children should see to it
that Booth's HYOMEI Is always on
hand. Full instructions for prompt
relief of croup is in each package.
Booth's HYOMEI Is made of Aus
tralian Eucalyptus and other antisep
tic Money returned if it does not
give satisfaction in treatment of ca
tarrh, coughs, colds, croup and ca
tarrhal deafness. Ask Smith's Drug
Store about it (Adv.)
It does not like the Appalachian
league. It does not like the company.
It does not like the administration.
It does not like to support the game
for the benefit of a bunch of Ten
nessee villages. Furthermore, Arhe
vllle is not going to play ball 11. this
company nor under this administra
tion, nor Is It going to continue to fur
nish amusement for said villages
That is all there Is to It.
Governor Wilson signifies a yearn
ing for places remote, and thinks he
will probably go to Columbia.
That Outlooklng job will still pro
vide the Colonel steady employment.
Craig and Settle
(By James A. Parham in Raledgh
News and Observer.)
The Craig-Settle meeting at Ruth-
erfordton afforded an opportunity for
comparison between the personal ap
pearance of the two men and brought
out a striking contrast in their gen
eral make-up. Craig is rather small;
Settle tall and well built
Craig weights 169 pounds; Settle
175.
Craig dresses well; Settle dresses
elegantly. ,
Craig wore plain black; Settle's suit
was figured, and he had white braid
around, the collar of his vest.
Craig' wore his hair carelessly; Set
tle's has the touch of the barber's
art.
Craig is In earnest; Settle Is dilet
tante. Craig Is simple, unconscious
and unassuming in his manner; Set
tle Is graceful, and has the conscious
mannerism of the drawing room.
If they had lived in the seventeenth
century, Craig would have been with
Cromwell; Settle would have been in
the court of Charles the second.
Craig is strong in his convictions;
Settle is strong with the odor of ele
gant perfume.
The Appalachian league manage
ment has just compiled and published
the records of the players, showing
how they stood during the past sea
son In batting, fielding, etc.
