W. J. Bryan will return to the
United States August 30, and
such another reception as will be
tendered liim has never been'
known in this or any other coun- i
try—and this reception is not to
titled nobility; not to a represen
tative official of any government;
simply to an American citizen.
How different all this to the re
turn of certain other “safe and
sane’' citizens who donated trust
funds to the republican campaign
in order to save the country from
'‘Bryanism.” The people have
long since learned that he was
defeated in his two races for the
presidency, not by votes but by
boodle, and it seems that even
his political enemies are now
ready to do him justice.

A convention to nominate a can
didate for solicitor of the 15th
Judicial district of North Caro
lina, composed of the counties of
Buncombe, Madison and Transyl
vania. was held in Asheville last
Saturday. Prom what we can
learn it was something of an imi
tation of the recent republican
state convention at Greensboro.
It required four hours to decide
6n a candidate to oppose Solicitor
Brown in a district which is nor-
mallv republican by a safe ma
jority, and where the present in
cumbent is supposedly stronger
than two years ago. To the or
dinary individual it would seem
that a nomination by the demo
crats is an empty honor. Guy
V. Roberts of Madison was the
nominee of the convention, and
while other candidates hav’^e their
friends in this county we believe
that Mr. Roberts will poll the full
party vote. Buncombe had two
candidates, but we learn that
both withdrew in the interests
of harmony and that no hard feel-
injrs were engendered that will
o o
tend to weaken the chances of
success for Mr. Roberts.
* *
We notice a tendency on the
part of humanity in general and
the American people in particular
to endorse and advocate the most
radical of political policies. Even
the repulican party has largely
abandoned its “stand pat’' policy
and is upholding Roosevelt in his
efforts to enforce the demands of
the democratic platform. In
truth, the people are becoming
imbued with the doctrines of so-
cilism, whether they know it or
not, and there is no telling what
tbe future platforms of either
party may contain. The public
ownership of public utilities, the
election of all i^ublic otttcials.
(senators, revenue officers and
postmasters not excepted), the
issue of all moneys of the United
States by congress instead of the
banks, and many other advanced
ideas are taking root in the minds
of the common people and will
have to be taken into account in
future platforms of all parties.
No party w’hich fails to recognize
the demands of the working class
can hope to win in 1908.
