CO... S. 1 HbTB as ci 9?-" 1 f-'j I jfl&Vi . r ' ' -' ^ Careful Survey is fv tion Affecting th the Presidential N 1 (By ChM. A. Bdw*r<U) tt N (Special Corrsepondcht) The spectacular, unheard of and disgraceful campaign being made by u *- Roosevelt and Taft for the Presidenk tlal campaign on the Republican In ticket has absolutely overshadowed w the race for the Presidential uomi- 5f nation on the Democratic ticket. I take It that the readers of . this cor- ta respondence arc more interested in the Democratic nomination than they are in the Republican nomination. For that reaaon 1 havo'made'lt my gi bnslness to make a careful survey fa t of the situation as it afTeeta the ct fk- Democratic candidates and ?, give cl you my honeat opinion and the correct figures, as 1 have carefully e- fa w numerated then! concerning the sue- W i ceaa of every candidate on the'Dom- to Ik ocratlc ticket. iT* I.bavo been careful to go over all cl of tho figures complied by the managers of all the Democratic candl- cl dates In this eity. With all I know personally about the situation. I 1 have eliminated some of their claims and have come to the following con- e< elusions, as it appears today. My conclusions give States In which del- ti egates to be elected are certain to it be for a particular candidate or in Sj L which the candidate has the best w ^ chance at the pife9ent time. That h; ' summary is as follows: ? I The Clark delegates so far elected, ai Instructed or favorable, amount to I 197; those to be elected that are cer- 1b tain for Clark. 106; those to be tl elected in which Clark has the beat e< chance, if. n The Wilson delegates elected and 1] Instructed or favorable. 62; those, ai to be elected In which Wilson has r ft zmiiviml A/ fl^V V J X T.

Brldgers. c Evangelist is to do the preaching and a Professor Bird of Virginia la to have c charge of the singing. . Mr. Brldgers e is an evangelist of note. Below is an s P* account of a recent meeting held ih n Somerset, Ky. v i':\ Rev. C. K. Dickey, D. D.. pastor a \ of the Main Street M. E. Church,| t South, Somerset, Kentucky, was as- e slated in a revival meeting which o continued twenty-three days by Rev. a L. B. Brldgers, son of Rev. J. B. t t. Brldgers, of the North Carolina Con- t fercnce, Bath, N. C., which la con- c sidered by many of the oldest clt- d lzens as the greatest religious^arwak- c . enlng and revival of genuine old \ time religioj} in \he history of the c ^ city and of thj^Whodlst Church. ? It is impossible to give an accn- t ? rate account of the number convert- ( ? _ ed and reclaimed. It la estimated s to be between four. an? five hundred 1 persons. 1 ? ' t I | ! RKV. IATHKR B.

It shows peaker Clark far in the lead which 111 undoubtedly be a greater lead jr t^e time the Convention meets, believe It. is a conservative resume ad is unbiased without' prejudice, know positively that Bpeaker Clark i the second choice of many States lat have now Instructed for WU>n and of Governor Wilson can ot be nominated, they undonbtedr wlil go to the Speaker in ? pnfr qlfent ballot which will make his omlhation sure..IX? ^ leetings to E. Church Sunday ear him they often shed many tears, ie is absolutely free from f&natlism. He is a born leader of men ,nd knows how to handle the great rowds and check any unnecessary nthusldsm and yet sustain the trongqst interest in effecting doflilte results. He is what some irould call an argumentative preacher .nd knows how to appeal to both he head and the heart. He preachs on the great fundamental themes if the gospel in an original, unique, knd winning way. Wbeh the people tear him once tbey^feel they must tear him again. He Is educated, ultured, jovial, and religious. He lepends on the Holy Spirit an.d honors the Tribune God in all he noes. The congregations were the largiBt that ever attended a revival in lomerset. After adding 260 seats o the already 400. at many of the jvening services all the available itandlng room was occupied and lundreds were turned away from ho church doom.

The speaker, who stands high n his church as a thinker and speak:r, waoiat his best and his words of lavico. wwminigMnent td the mem>ers of the claes were heard attentvely and Instructively. Rev. Mr. Smith's theme was based ou two vords Vlsious and Purposes which vaa founded on a passage of scripture taken from Philippians, third chapter and thirteenth and fourteenths verses: "Brethren I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do. forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which aro before. I press toward the mnrk for the priso of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." For thirty minutes the speaker held his audience spell-bound by his earnestness of presentation, his sublime thoughts of reasoning and his well rounded periods. It was really a feast of good things from beginning to end. The sermon was a masterpiece and will abide in the hearts of all those present for sometime to come. This morning at the opening of the Public School Rev. Mr. Smith made another wholesome and instructive talk to the student body.

Edwards) ( (Special Correspondent) t> Washington. D. C., May 6.?Of 1 course, the only topic of conversation > amongst politicians in the City of i Washington is tho Roosevelt and i Taft scrapping match. I was c thoroughly satisfied it would couie 1 sooner or later and that Mr. Taft's t friends would rib him up to the stick- t ing point and make him go after j i Roosevelt in tho same manner thctjs Roosevelt has been going after him. i There never has been a spectacle r in the United States from a .polltl- I cal standpoint that is now being pre- c seated to the voters of this country. ' a President and an Ex-President a both stumping the country for nomination for Presidency on the Re- t publican ticket and hurling epithets c at one another like the wives of a I lot of flBh mongers in White Chapel)I market in London. Republicans s have got the dry grains. They know i that the Democrats are clipping from t thoo^g of the country every ut- t ffEfance of both these Republican t leaders and will use them in the next j I campaign, whichever should be nom- i tnated. I As I have previously remarked in this correspondence, whether "Rod-: 3 erigo kill Cassic or Cassio kill Hod-ii erigo" it all makes for Democratic j ( success. The Democrats have an im- ' {mortal cinch In the election of a'l President next November, it makes 11 no difference who is nominated, jl [With ail of this crimination and re- I (crimination between the two leading jl [factors in the Republican party. tlse^l voters of this country will come to I the conclusion thai neither^of thorny is worthy to be P^efeident of the Unit-!' ed States and In-gcing to the polls j next November they will say in then language of Mercr.tlo. "A plague 011 both your houses." * The truth of the matter is that ' FINEST POTATOES FOR YEARS HERE TODAY. 1 ? I | Mr. n. H.
