Mayor Tom L. Johnsonrof Cleve
land, Ohio, is in the field for the
Democratio nomination for the presi
dency and will make a tour of the
west in the interest of his candidacy,
probably this fall. This statement
comes from the mayor himself. In
the language of that beautiful and

The Republican' billy-goats an
grazing mighty near the Democratic
fields in this county, and hope to
butt into Democratic clover through
whatever dissension gap they may

out. They hang their hope on inde
pendentism, which is only a lullaby
to woo a man to his own undoing.
The Chinese government is to
change its embassador to the United
States. Minister Wu Ting Fang it

Cheu Tung is to take his place. We
are sorry to lose Wu. He was such
an interesting oriental interrogation
point. He never visited Durham,
however, and will return to his
native land without seeing a young
and real wide awake oity. But he
will bear us in rememberance when
he puffs Cameo cigarettes and

THE STATE CONVENTION.
The Democratio hosts will meet
in Greensboro tomorrow, in State
Convention, and light the camp fires
and hang the Democratic banners
upon the watch towers. A platform
will be adopted and a few State offi
cers nominated. The contests for
nomination! are few associate jus
tices of the Supreme Court and a
member of the Corporation Commis
sion, and as these contests are be
tween good men, the convention can
lijaAD uu iumwh m us nominations.
W e agree with the Charlotte News
when it says that to formulating a
platform it will be hardly necessary
to go back to the past for issues.
Standing upon the basic, principles
cf Democracy alone is sufficient to
cratie majority in tbe Mate,
if it is Eecessary to go into detail,
the issaea raised by tha last session
of Congress are enough to invite tbe
serious and thoughtful consideration
of every man who desires honest
government, be his political belief
what it may.
But it will not be necessary to deal
in national issues beyond condemn
ing the sins of tbe present national
administration. We have domestic
issues a plenty, and will have, so
long as tbe State returns a Republi
can senator and two Kepnblican
Representatives.

m A MERRY HEAR.'
We naturally turn toward woman
for comfort and encouragement and
even advice. Ignore it as we may,
she holds the reins that guide us,
and her often subtle suggestions
sway as to our final conclusions.
Margaret Sangster, among other
wise words, says: -
"Better than a fortune than gold
and silver and jewels better than
anything that can be weighed in
earthly balances, is a sunny hope
fulness of habitual thought, which
makes the common day and the
rough road cheery and smooth ; for
"a merry heart doeth good like a
medicine."
"Merry: Enlivening, gay, ex.
hilarating."
Margaret is right! The merry
heart is a medicine, acting and re
acting from mind to mind, and from
heart to heart.
We need such tonio among the
too serious scenes of commercial
life. We teed the bright glance
and the spirited word, the enliven

wrought man who treats all of life
as a mere business proposition with
out the lift and sparkle that a mirth
loving soul can impart to it.

We all appreciate the genial,

gates from tbe em have arrived oa
the night train, representing princi
pally candidates for corporation com
missioner and the associate justice
ship from that section. The man
agers of both Brown and Conor have
reached headquarters. In conference
with the friends of both, who claim
ed to speak by the book, I learned
that Connor would come out on tbe
first roll-call with more than a ma
jority, the exact figures given being
635. On the other hand, a Brown
man gave me 6S2 as the estimate of
his strength on first ballot. These
figures were given without either
side knowing how close they were
calculating the same majority.
Congressman Small, former law
partner of Judge Brown and his in
timate friend, just seen, says he
makes no boastful claim of strength,
as the contest is close, but from the
latest and most reliable estimates be
feels assured that Brown has votes
enough to be nominated on the first
ballot. In conclusion he said: "You
can quote me aa authority for tbe
statement that Judge Brown will
certainly be nominated."
Corporation commissioner is tbe
next topio of gossip. The following
is an estimate given of the vote on
first ballot by friends of different
candidates: Beddingfield, more in
structed votes than all other candi
dates combined; Mason, instructed
130, estimated vote on first ballot
417; Watson 60 instructed and many
scattering; Fairly 50 instructed; Mi
chaux 50 instructed and lOOsoatter-
Tng for first ballot. If the claim of
Beddingneld s friends is correct that
would give him clearly 245 instruct
ed votes, though he declines himself
to give out bis figures. Speoial to
