Mr. Bryan is censured for
what he says to newspaper men
and the stand he takes regarding
the future of the Democratic
party. It Is noticeable that lie
never seeks to be interviewed
and that what he says is only
what any loyal man might say
regarding the party loyalty be
cause he was defeated.

A CHAM MEDE3.
The fifth congressional district,
with a normal Democratic ma
jority of 5,000, was lost to the
Democrats at the recent election
by about 400 votes. The loss, in
The Landmark's judgement, was
due principally to the iierce am
bitter fight for the nomination in
the Democratic ; rinuries. Not
withstanding this warning, var
ious gentlemen throughout th
district are already being men
tioned for the Democratic nomi
nation in 1910 and at least one,
Col. B. S. Royster, of Granville,
has announced his candid;. cy.
Mr. J.IC. Buxton, of Winston,
was asked whether he would b
a candidate and his answer is so
sensible that The Landmark in
vites special attention to it.
"We have not yet recovered,"
says Mr. Buxton, "from our re
cent bereavement in the fifth
district and it is not very becom
ing, in my opini for Democrat
ic aspirants to open a campaign
of pledging voters six months in
advance of the time when Mr,
Morehead, the successf ji candi
date, will take his seat. I do not
kn-Av what is going to happen to
ir. the n.xt u years, ar.d 1
d n.-t .vint to pledge friends
mt to be redeemed two year?
hence, regardless of whether 1
am the proper men to undertake
the redemption of this district oi
It has always seemed apropri-
itp that Santa Claus should arrive
in something like an airship, and
iovv that such a thing is possible,
a hy is it that some fellow has
not drawn a picture showing how
nice it is for Santa Clause to use
this modern way of traveling.
