" EDLY IN RACK POB, ESTHER
PARTY'S NOMINATION.
The (jountry is being treated to a
rare political phenomenon, marked
by the fact that while a whole nation-
al campaign for the election or a
j president and a new congress is con-
siderably less than a year off, no an
! pounced candidates hav. developed
in either party, and no pronounced
issues have assumed definite form
' upon which the fight is to bej?roject-
ed. .-
j Political history will have to be
searched for many generations back
to produce a parallel to the present
situation. As a matter of fact, no
exact parallel can be pointed to.
There may have been campaigns in
which ac little interest has' been
manifest, but none in which so many
of the essential elements were absent.
j It is true that the Republican or
ganization is prolific in presidential
' possibilities, that willing leaders may
be found in all parts of the country
! who might easily be persuaded to as
sume the responsibilities of a nomi
nation, but it is equally time that not
one of them has passed beyond the
"favorite son" stage, regardless of
the fact that the nominating con
ventions are less than eight months
off.
i 'For instance, New York stands
forth with Root, Whitman; and
Hughes; Massachusetts with Weeks;
'Idaho with Borah; Indiana with
Fairbanks; Illinois with Mann and
, Sherman; Ohio with Burton, Herrick
; and Willis; Iowa with Cummins;
i Wisconsin with "La Follette, and so
on down the list. In all this host,
however, there is no towering figure.
1 no pre-eminent leader, no unques
tioned Moses.
Moreover, in this list there is not
one avowed candidate for the presi
dent not one whose friends claim
the privilege of offering to the na
tion. Hughes and Root, probably
the twro ablest men on the roster,
have declared and redeclared that
they are not candidates for the Re
publican nomination. None of the
others has declared support for this
honor, neither have any of them
come out into the open with inten
tions of seeking support.
The truth is, Republican politica
and policies are very much in con
fusion, and this confusion naturally
involves possible candidates. There
have been many miscalculations on
the part of the opposition party since
the Wilson administration began
Many readjustments have become
necessary, much realigning in order
to keep up with the big t-vents.
When the Underwood-Simmons
tariff bill was passed, Republican
leaders were reasonaoiy sure a win
ning issue had been created. They
believed hard times would be inevit
able, and a prosperity platform had
never failed to net them thousands of
votes. Then when the repeal of the
canal tolls was enacted, a piece of
legislation that seemed to split the
majority party wide open, another
hopeful condition arose. Anti-trust
legislation was forced through Con
gress, and this was looked to to in
crease the dissatisfaction of the bus
iness interests with the new regime.
All these forces appeared for a
time to be working for the success
of the Republican party, and, just
as predicted, a period of depression
followed the revision of the tariff;
business men, pinched by restricted
markets, began to murmur, and the
majority party organization exhibit
ed signs of division. These were de
velopments that the Republicans
prophesied, the eventualities upon
which they expected to base their
next campaign. To thes? the minor
ity leadership expected to add an un
fortunate Mexican policy.
All this figuring has, however,
been futile. The European war
came and has wiped the slate clean
of old issues. Hard tin.s is rarely
mentioned politically now for the
simple reason that few sections of
the country feel that. times are hard.
The tariff nnd anti-trust legislation
are spoken of only academically.
Party schisms among the Democrats
may still exist, but they are not ap
parent on the surface.
The attention of the American peo
ple is fixed upon foreign affairs
Europe and Mexico and upon no
other phase of the present adminis
tration's work. There is political
dynamite in each of these situations,
and nobody knows it better than the
president himself; yet he has passed
unscathed, so far, through one of
them and is concentrating all his in
tellectual resources in an effort to
escape danger in the other.
World war with its attendant haz
ards, its stimulation to American
business, its neutrality problems, its
effect upon the "hyphenated" preju
dices in America, combined with the
merciless sacrifices of blood and
treasure aoroaa, Has completely
oversnaaowed domestic ; politics in
the United States. Neither plain peo-

crowded the city. Today there are
no Headquarters and lip. candidates.
The Democratic leadership has
nothing to bother about with respect
to candidates. The president will be
renominated, if he decides to be a
candidate, notwithstanding the pos
sible Bryan opposition. . That is all
there is to that end of It. The Re
publicans are simply awaiting the
course of events. The Bull Moos' are
no longer regarded as a determining
factor. All in all, it is a most re
markable situation that the country
finds itself in on the eve of a na
tional campaign.
NATIVE OP GUILFORD DIES
IN IREDELL COUNTY.
Mr. John W. Vanstory, a native of
Guilford county and a brother of Mr.
C. M. Vanstory, of Greensboro, died
recently at his home in Iredell coun
ty. A friend pays his memory the
following tribute in the Statesville
Landmark:
John Woodson Vanstory, whose
death occurred July 26, was the son
of John Henry and Katy Gordon Van
story, of Guilford county, and on the
day of his, death he was near 6& years
old. In March, 1863, when but a
mere boy, and while at school at
Monticello; he joined the Confederate
army, in which he served to the end
of the war with the characteristic
valor of the boy soldiers of the Con
federacy, belonging to Company F,
second North Carolina cavalry. He
was at Seven Pines, Chancellorsville
and fateful Gettysburg, having a part
in numerous engagements.
Returning from the war in 1866
Mr. Vanstory married Mary P. Brown,
of Guilford county, and to them
were born three daughters Mrs. G.
W. Siceloff, of Statesville; Mrs. G.
W. Stikeleather, of Olin, and Mrs. A.
D. Chandler, of Brown Summit, Guil
ford county. His wife dying in the
early seventies, he removed to Iredell
county, and some time thereafter
married Susan E. Allison, daughter
of Joseph and Mary Gill Allison, who
survives. From this marriage were
born five children two sons and
three daughters Mrs. J. A. J. Far
rington, now of Spray; Mrs. James
Weisner, of Olin; Walter Vanstory,
of Texas; Charlie Vanstory and Mrs.
Fannie Feimster, at home. Mr. Van
story is also survived by two broth
ers C. M. Vanstory1, of Greensboro,
and W. A. Vanstory, of Fayetteville,
and two sisters Miss Mollie Van
story, of Statesville, and Mrs. Louise
Feimster, of Rutherford College.
The subject of this sketch was in
every respect a most worthy citizen,
affable in disposition, intelligent and
progressive, a sincere Christian and
for 20 years Sunday school superin
tendent in the Methodist church at
Olin. He leaves behind him the rec
ord of a well spent life.
Mr. Vanstory was one of a trio of
Confederate veterans John F. Hol
land, John C. Siceloff and John W.
Vanstory who lived side by side,
lands adjoining on Little Rocky
creek, Olin township. Comrades,
neighbors and friends were they. To
each those who knew might point
and say, "Behold the upright man!"
Mr. Holland passed away last March:
so -soon Mr. Vanstory follows. Mr.
Siceloff lingers yet a little while
alone, awaiting the "roll call." As
sociated with these, oft it was the
writer's privilege to hear them re
count their war experience, and often
she was made to wonder what sus
tained their courage in the fierce con
flicts, in the long hours of suspense,
in the cruel hardships endured; she
learned the secret from their own
lips. It lay in that sublimest of all
words duty deeply rooted in th
heart of every true patriot. It was
the lofty conception of this that made
each of them good citizen's as well a3
good soldiers, and enabled them to
grapple not less bravely with the
hard Ikies with which they were face
to face in establishing homes and
rearing families in tumultuous and
poverty-stricken days of reconstruc
tion. If success be measured by op
portunity, then may not the name of
the Confederate soldier be written
higher than many others whose lines
have fallen in better times?
I would weave this chaplet to the
memory of the two that have "cross
ed the bar," I would entwine it as a
garland around the brow of him who
is left behind; and to the consorts of
these the one the young wife wait
ing at home the news of her hus.
band's fate; the other the daughter
of the widowed mother, made so by
war's ruthless hand; and still the
other the faithful helpmeet of the re
turned soldier to each of these be
all honor in that they have kept their
trust so welL May gentle peace rest
like a benediction upon them, and
when life's warfare shall be o'er, may
meor, ioo, ue aown to pleasant W
dreams."

BTery girl who graduates froja the
Virnhoro high school must tfe abte
AvnV nf a household. Dr. J. Ti. 1
Mann last year refused to sign any
diploma of graduation for a girl who
would not make hergraauatton dress
This year he "wilf make he same re
striction bear npon-the problem of
cooking dinner. He says that indi
vidual cabinets have just been in
stalled in the domestic art depart
ment of the building, so that each
person in the class can be made re
sponsible for her own cooking and
keeping of her cooking utensils.
This is all in line with Dr. Mann's
idea of making the school one for
the development of a real culture, the
teaching of the boys and girls how to
be independent of the manual help of
others. His requirement for the girls
to make their own graduating dress
es last year was a huge success.
The students appeared, on the day
of the class exercises robed in dresses
of pattern alike and made a fine pub
lic impression. Instead of ranging In
price from $5 to $50, as is often the
case, the cost was uniform and the
only difference existed in the manner
of the making, and this was the look
out of the wearer. At thr graduation
exercises proper the boys and girls,
too, wore caps and gowns, bought at
$1.50 per person, and Dr. Mann
thinks the local high school was the
first in the South to take this step.
Instead of one of the boys having a
$35 tailor-made suit and his fellow
student wearing a $9. 9b hand-me-down,
they were all alike, and only
in noses and other uuchangeaole
features did they differ.
The high school will have eight
fully defined Mterary courses this
year, in addition to the excellent spe
cial departments. One of these will
include Spanish taught by a North
Carolina lady, imported from High
Point, who can talk Spanish as well
as she can English, and she is thor
oughly at home in the latter, said
Dr. Mann. This course will be elec
tive. The additions to the teaching staff
of the school are of men who are cap
able and strong, said the superin
tendent. The new ones are Mr. J. H.
Workman, of Cherryville, in the de
partment of mathematics; Mr. Nevin
Biser, of Frederick, Md., teacher of
Latin; Mr. J. B. Webster, of Haw
River, science, and Mr. J. J. Ingle, of
Catawba College, teacher of English.
The school is being improved phy
sically as well as in work.
