of the Norfolk Southern Railroad ,
was today qnoted as saying by a ,
Raleigh newspaper. "The feeling
now seems to be that the business
we are now enjoying is merely th? '
forerunner of the business that Is
yet to come. The fact Is. my Infor
mation Is that tb? merchants along ?
the lines of the Norfolk Southern,
and 1 have no doubt it Is true on
other lines, have been so busy sell
ing goods that they have not had
time to give attention to the matter
of replenishing their .*ock?r. I under
stand that they are giving notice,. ,
now that the rush is somewhat over, ,
that when the traveling men come
around after the holidays, they will (
ilnd the merchants prepared to buy ,
Almust anything the traveling sales
man may have to offer."
The truth of what President Young
said 1? certainly borne out by condi
tions at the local railroad ottic& and
in the Washington business district.

Washington. Dec. 31. ? Democrat
ic statesmen in Washington today
read with inter* st the statement sent
out yesterday by Edward B. Clark,
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Evening Post, to the effect
that heodore Roosevelt is in a recep
tive mood for th? Republican nomi
nation at Chicago.
Probably the most pleasing part
of Mr. Clark's most interesting let
ter was that section which stated
that Roosovelt would oppose the
nomination and election of Burton,
Weeks. Fairbanks, Root and Knox.
In this the Democrats see victory for
Wilson and the balance of the ticket.
It fg believed that if Roosevelt
can get the support of "big business'
and go to Chicago with enough
strength to tie up the convention for
s? veral days, he will have an flg&l-f
lent chance of securing the nomina
tion. Should he be successful In this
move he will have caused a wider
breach in the Republican party than
that which existed during the m m
orafele Taft-Rooeevelt campatgn when
hundreds of typewriters and "scan,
dal hunter*" were kept busy day and
night searching for something de
rogatory to the characicr of the!
then President Tail and ex-President'
Roosevelt, to furnish the newspapers,
front page stories.
If Roosevelt wants the Republican
nomination h<" will be able to get all
the assistance *hat the Democratic
campaign managers can give hliu.
Leaders or the administration say
fliey want nothing better than to
have Roosevelt get the Republican
nomination at Chicago n< xt June.
With Roosevelt as the opponent of
Wilson they contend it will be the
easiest thing in the world to elect
Wl'son by an overwhelimng major
