The Randolph Bulletin. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR I J. S. HAYES, Editor, E. A. WOODDELL, Publisher. Entered as second-class matter June 2nd, 1905, at the post office at Ashe boro, N. C, under the act of Congress of March 3rd 1879. REPUBLICAN TICKET. FOR CHAIRMAN OF THE CORPORA TION commission: ROBERT M. DOUGLAS, of Guilford County. FOR REPRESENTATIVE IN CON GRESS 7th district: GEORGE D. B. REYNOLDS, of Montgomery County. FOR STATE SENATE -23d DISTRICT JOHN L. DENNIS, of Montgomery County. The republicans of Randolph have great reasons to congratu late themselves on the outcome of the convention held here Sat urday. The large number pres ent, the genuine, earnest enthus iasm, the businesslike delibera tions and the splendid ticket named by the convention should encourage every republican to put forth every legitimate effort to ratify the work of the conven tion at the polls. The democrats have resolved to give a fair and honest election and the republi cans have met the issue squarely. This should reduce the issue to a majority rule which is the foun dation of free government. Let every republican stand pat and rally to the support of the repub lican cause and the cause of good government. Refering to the late democratic convention of Randolph county, the esteemed Courier of Aug. 30th, says: "Republican rings ters and their hirelings and boob ies and toadies, who, like dogs, eat crumbs from the table of their masters will no doubt be heard to say this or that influence controlled the peoples convention last Saturday. On the 8th of September there will assemble in this "berg" an aggregation that will take orders from higher up. Democratic conventions are not engaged in that business. Are likewise God fearing etc. citizens who cannot be bought and sold like cattle." . The "aggregation" sneeringly referred to by our democratic cotemporary met as arranged and it was composed of free citizens of North Carolina, the brawn and brain of Randolph county, and in their deliberations showed they were dominated by no au thority except the will of their constituents whom they repres ented. Our contemporary should be more specific when pointing out those republicans whom he calls "hirelings," "boobies" and "toadies" and likens them to dogs gathering up crumbs from their master's table. If we understand the Prophet Cicero he means to say that when a re publican seeks office or asks for any voice in the government of the county's affairs, he is a hire ling, booby, toady or a dog hunt ing for crumbs, but if he belongs to the democratic, chronic office holding oligarchy, he is a God fearing, upright citizen and worthy to be elevated above his less ambitious neighbors. It is refreshing to know that these God fearing citizens cannot be bought and sold like cattle, as it will prevent any prospective purchasers attempting to round up the herd. A dispatch from Russia says that General Liar liarski was kill ed. What a pity! He should have made his escape and come to North Carolina. He could have gotten a job as editorial writer on some of the democratic newspapers. In 1902 the Democrats were afraid that in spite of all they could do they would get control of the House of Representatives and the Senate too, and thereby impair their chances of success in 1904. But good fortune smiled upon them and the Republicans held both. In 1904 they were afraid that Parker was going to be elected President and they saw a great panic coming and the blame was to have been plac ed upon "President Parker" and render him unpopular. This year they are afraid of nothing- the trusts, railroads, goverment ownership, graft, panics, Bryan, Bailey, Tillman, or what not. They are bent on electing something this year and in 1908, too. Already many Democrats are saying "watch them act the fool." The Republicans are sawing wood and will continue at the helm of the government. -Tar Heel, THE BIG BRYAN BOOM. n The biggest and noisiest presi dential boom ever set booming in the history of the country was" towed out of the balloon shed and turned loose in New York when W. J. Bryan drove up Broadway amid the frantic plau dits of faithful democratic fol lowers gathered from the four corners of democracy to do hon or to the homecoming of the great Statesman from Nebraska. It is still a little early in the ac tion to launch such a boom, and it may be that the navigators of the Bryan airship, after a few preliminary evolutions will find it desirable to tow the craft back into the shed and store it while the distinguished pilgrim to many shrines takes a turn in New Zea land and Australia. Meanwhile the populace will "rubber" at the big man for a few days as he swings round the circle and read the picturesque headlines which the newspaper men put over his rather dull and commonplace deliverances, and straightway proceed to lose in terest in presidential politics with the opening of the football sea son, and the coming on of the local free-for-all races for the county offices. Bryan's boom contains no menace for republican national supremacy. The old free silver section of the democratic party, hopelessly afflicted with Bryan ites, unable to learn wisdom by experience, will be beguiled into a foolish false hope of victory by the enthusiasm roused over the Bryan homecoming. The for lorn hopes which the safe and sane had that the rejuvinated Moses had returned to lead them out of the wilderness, lost that hope when Bryan in his Madison Square speech foolishly declared for government ownership of railroads. They now realize that this revival of Bryanism means a republican walk-over in 1908 more pronounced than in 1896, 1900 and 1904. It seems hardly possible that ! anything can happen to cause a complete collapse of the Bryan boom between now and the open j season for hunting national con vention delegates. The balloon is sure to lose a great deal of gas, but maybe it can be rein flated by means of a homecoming from New Zealand, making the next landing on the Pacific coast. Meanwhile the free silver ites will enjoy an irridescent dream of a glorified' and victorious Bry anism. Rain in August. The report of the Charlotte bu reau for August shows that there was a total precipitation for the month of 8.56 inches. During the month there were but two clear days and rain fell on 23 of the 31 days. The average rainfall for August for 28 years is 5.67 inches which gives August this year an excess of 2.89 inches. August, 1906, however, wasn't the wet test August on record. In 1880 10.57 inches fell; in 1901 and 1904 the rainfall was over ten inches: and other years show heavy pre cipitation. Bond Issue Loses. In yesterday's election here the proposition to issue bonds in the sum of $100,000 to secure the building of a road to High Point by the Glen Anna & Pee Dee Railway & Construction Co., was lost by a majority of 43 votes. The entire vote was 820. The contest was a hot one and for several days each side has fought hard to defeat the other. It is probable that the prop able that the proposition of the Cumberland & Randolph Rail road to build a line here will be taken under consideration at once. This calls for a bond issue of only $50,000. Ledger. Uncle Nick Robbed Saturday while returning from Thomasville on train No. 7, M-i. N. H. Slaughter was rob bed of a pocket-book very neatly, and by a women too. The pocket book was in an outside coat pock et and showed prominently, not to say temptingly, for it looked prosperous. The woman walked down the aisle to get some water, and as she passed Uncle Nick, her eyes fell on the book. As if the train had flung her against the seat, she stumbled up to it, and got Uncle Nick's book. He never missed it, however, untill he got off here, when he discover ed the loss. Instantly he knew when and where he lost it. But there was no money in the book and nothing else of special value. Dispatch.

Con vention ever held in Randolph. A WINNING TICKET NAMED. Speeches by Candidates for State Sen. ate and House of Representatives. STRONG RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. Persuant to a call of the chair man of the executive committee the Republican county conven tion convened at the court house Saturday, Sept. 8. As it was the busiest season of the year for the farmers' who are engaged in pulling fodder and harvesting hay, a large crowd was not ex pected. However, contrary to all expectations when the hour arrived for calling the conven tion together, the court house was found entirely too small to hold the assembled multitude. Every seat was taken, and the aisles were crowded like sardines in a box and plenty left for an "overflow" meeting on the out side. Never before was such a crowd seen at a convention in i Asheboro. - The convention was called to j order at 11 o'clock by the chair man, G. G. Hendricks, who, named Prof. N. C. English as j temporary chairman, A. E. Lewis j and R. K. Brady as temporary j secretaries. On motion the tem- i porary organization was made: permanent. ; The first business of the con-1 vention was the ratification of j the nomination of John L. Den nis, for the State Senate, for the j 23d senatorial district. This dis- j trict is composed of Randolph i and Montgomery counties, and Mr. Dennis had already been; nominated by the Republicans of j Montgomery. Mr. Dennis being j present was called for and re- j sponded in an able speech which j was well received by the conven tion. Hon. G. D. B. Reynolds, candidate for congress from the 7th district was then called ' to the rostrum and spoke for about j fiifteen minutes in his inimitable j style which caught his hearers! and brought forth hearty laugh-; ter and rounds of applause. After j appointing E.j N. Allen, J. S. Lewis hd J. F. Pickett, a com mittee on resolutions, the con- j vention adjourned till 1:30 p. m. : When the convention reassem-j bled, the order of business was j the nomination of candidates for ; county offices. For sheriff, the names of W. H. Pickard, Robert Laughlin, A. A. Spencer and C. M. Ferree were put before the ! convention. W. H. Pickard re-; ceived a majority of all the votes j cast and was declared the nomi-1 nee ot the convention. Un mo tion his nomination was made unanimous. For clerk of the Superior court, the names of S. H. Ragan and J. M. Hollady were balloted on which resulted in a majority for Ragan. Mr. Ragan's nomination was made unanimous. The next in order was nomina tions for register of deeds. For this office the names of W. C. Hinshaw, J. W. Ellison, A. K. Scotten, J. F. Routh, N. H. Fer guson, S. W. Laughlin and Geo. Hodgin were submitted. After several roll calls and dropping the candidate receiving' the low est number of votes, Seth W. Laughlin received a majority and was declared the nominee. On motion his nomination was made unanimous. For the legislature, Prof. N. C. English was nominated by acclamation and J. M. Burrows was nominated on first ballot, with J. F. Hughes as opponent. For commissioners, M. L. Davis, O. C. Marsh, G. G. Hendricks, T. O. Spencer, A. P. Brower, J. C Allred, R. E. Snider, Amos Hinshaw, J. B. Ward and Thos. Farlow were balloted on which finally resulted in the nomina- i tion of O. C. Marsh, J. T. Thorn-j burg and G. G. Hendricks. j For coroner, Dr. S. W. Caddell j and for surveyor, J. F. Routh ! were nominated by acclamation. On the whole, the work of the convention was satisfactory and harmony and good feeling pre vailed throughout. Every town ship it the county was represent ed and besides the regularly elected delegates, hundreds of loyal republicans were interested spectators. The following resolutions were adopted: We, the representatives of the Republicans of Randolph county in convention assembled resolve: 1st; That we endorse the Re publican state platform adopted at Greensboro on July 10th, 1906. 2nd; That we honor the names of the great leaders of the Re publican party from Lincoln, the emancipator, through a long line of illustrious leaders and states men to Theodore Roosevelt, the world's renowned and greatest peacemaker and first citizen, who by his moral courage and sincer ity and his great ability has won the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens, and the approval and admiration of the civilized world. 3rd; We believe in the princi ple of protection and attribute the great and unprecedented prosperity which the whole coun try is enjoying to the wise poli cies of the Republican party en acted into law. 4th; We deeply deplore the reign of lawlessness which is abroad in the state and pledge ourselves to use every effort pos sible to stamp it out if given the power to do so. 5th; That we favor such chan ges in the public school system as will give the patrons of the schools more voice in the man agement of the same. 6th; We deplore and condemn the present inefficient and ex pensive management of the pub lic road system in this county and pledge ourselves to a better ment and improvement of the same, if given power to do so. 7th; We heartily endorse that part of the resolutions of the Democrats in their late conven tion in this county in favor of fair and honest elections, and we hereby pledge oursel ves to see to it that they carry out said resolu tion.

"Those who would criticise Bryan were sorely disappointed in his reception speech in New York City last week. Instead of opening the door for the critic to walk in, he elevated himself beyond the reach of the hostile pen. His speech was typical of the man who delivered it bold, fearless and emblematic of the highest type of a statesman. It must be observed that those who have taken issue with him have done so not by questioning the doctrine he espouses but by ar guing that some of the reforms he advocates are, at presant, un necessary. Even his political enemies dare not take his con ception of what is necessary to constitute an ideal government is unsound doctrine." Speaking on the same subject, the Charleston Evening Post, an able democratic paper says that the man called back as a pacifica tor has burst the party wide open. Here is what the Evening Post says: Coming back to the call of the Democracy for a great pacificator, Mr. Bryan in a week has split his party wide open again and the last state of it is worse than the first, where now is all the harmony that he was to com pass? The question of Mr. Roger Sullivan, s place in the Dem ocratic organization is not espec ially important, but the attitude of Mr. Bryan toward the Illinois Democracy which gave Mr. Sull ivan position, and, upon the rais ing of an issue by Mr. Bryan up on it, endorsed him very hand somely, is of some moment. Mr. Sullivan may be all that Mr. Bryan says he is, but he is the represen tative of the Democratic party of Illinois. If Mr. Bryan doesn't want the Democracy of that State to support him personally, he has a perfect right to say so, but if he is to be the Democratic candidate for President he has no right to outlaw a constituent part of the national organization. That course is not Democratic of itself. The Democratic party, like the Republican party, and like every other concourse or conbination of men, is made up of good and evil. If Mr. Byran wants to withdraw from all con tact with the evil he should get him to a monastery. He must take the Democracy as it comes to him. Just why Mr. Bryan cannot accept' Mr. Sullivan as the representative of Ulinoise Democracy when he hailed and extolled Mr. Richard Croker as the prophet of Tammany in 1900 we can not figure out, but that is not much to the point. The right of a canidadte for Demo cratic honors to constitute the organization that shall honor him is what we are inclined to question. The Democrats of Ill inois who were so roundly rated by Mr. Bryan in his address at Chicago last night have the right to feel a very deep resent ment and they have a claim up on the sympathy of other Dem ocrats. But the Sullivan incident is only significant of Mr. Bryan, s mental attitude toward the party he has been asked to lead, and has undertaken to rule. More hopeless is his political propagan da. With questions enough be fore the country for settlement and opportunity to his hand for perfecting reforms only half be gun, he must needs drag forth a new and startling issue, in his advocacy of national ownership of railroads, and set his party in convulsion once more. Mr. Bryan may not care greatly about being President of the United States, and nothing at all about being the candidate of the Democratic party. But when he responds to the call of the party and accepts its com mission to preach and prophesy for it he owes something to its consideration and he ought to think of more than his own polit ical dicta. Of course Mr. Bryan might say that he sought noth ing and expected nothing from his party, and retired from pub lic life, when he was called back to the leadership, and that he will say what he has a mind to say, however his sayings may effect the fortunes of his party. If that is his attitude, the sooner the Democracy makes up its mind to get along without his leadership the better it will be for the Democracy.

WORK FOR EVERYBODY Cry for Labor Continues Tho' More Than a Million Men Have Come to This Country Activity Universally Gen eral. Washington Special. -Neve-in the history of the United States has there been such a de gree of general prosperity as in this year of our Lord 1906, when the people of the country are reaping the harvest often years uninterrupted republican control of every deparment of the national government, the re views of commercial conditions published by the mercantile agencies and trade newspapers all bear witness to the fact that the wonderful tide of prosperity that began to rise in the United States on the morning of the day when William McKinley was elected president has not yet reached its height, but is still sweeping onward and rising still higher as it advances. There is no line of business which has not felt the reviving effects of public confidence inspired by a knowl edge that the administrative and legislative branches of the gov erment are in the control of men committed to those policies that have placed the United States far in the lead of every other nation of the world in the pro duction and consumption of those commodities that are necessary for the comfort and enjoyment of mankind. Looking backward it is hard to realize that but 10 years ago, when the country stood in fear of Bryanism and socialism, scores of thousands of men were walk ing the streets of the great cities looking in vain for work and compelled to resort to soup houses and free lodging houses for food and shelter. Today, in spite of the fact that the country, in the last 12 months, has absorb ed more than a million immi grants, from the grain fields of the west and the cotton fields of the south to the factories of the north and New England the cry goes up for more men. In spite of the enormous expenditures of the railroads for thousands of miles of double-track, for thk&r fourth, and fifth and sixth tracks; in spite of the addition of tens of thousands of cars to their equip ment, their facilities are taxed to the utmost and freight block ades are threatened. On the great Lakes the transportation conditions are similar to those on the railroads and Lake ship builders now have contracts for 27 great steel freight carriers. Building operations the country over are limited only by the sup ply of materials and labor, and nowhere in this broad land is there a man who really wants to work who cannot have his pick of half a dozen or more jobs. Starving to Death. Because her stomach was so weakened by useless drugging that she could not eat, Mrs. Mary H. Walters, of St. Clair St., Columbus, O., was literally starving to death. She writes: "My stomach was so weak from useless drugs that I could not eat, and my nerves so wrecked that I could not sleep; and not before I was given up to die was I induced to try Electric Bitters; with the wonderful result that improvement began at once and a complete cure followed.
