'
The Bryan sentiment is gath
ering strength daily and 'ere the
ides of November roll 'round it
trill have attained , sufficient pro
portions to sweep the country
like a Texas cyclone. All for
mer opposition to the Great Com
moner is warming up to him
since his nomination at Denver
and the outlook for a decisive
democratic victory was never
brighter preceding a presidential
election. Men and newspapers
tfho have heretofore fought Mr.
Bryan are falling in line this
year and leading republicans,
who are familiar with actual
conditions, view the situation
trith alarm.
Come to think of it, there is a
de variance in the methods
employed in bringing about the
nomination of the republican and
democratic candidates for presi
dent. It is an undisputed fact
that political manipulators are,
alone, responsible for the selec
tion of Mr. Taf t by the republi
can convention at Chicago. The
masses of the people had no
hand in his nomination. Here in
North Carolina the county con
ventions were dominated abso
lutely dominated by Federal
office-holders and the "common
folks" were utterly ignored in
many counties. Revenue doodles,
postmasters and other pap-suck
ers took the reins in hand and
carried out the instructions of
their boss and benefactor, Presi
dent Theodore Roosevelt, while
people themselves clamored, in
vain, for recognition. Similar
conditions prevailed in all the
southern and many of the north
ern and western states. It was
'Taf t or bust" with the bosses,
and 'the people be damned.
Not so in the case of Mr.
Wyan. The bosses essayed to
mve orders, but the people re
spectfully declined and by a
popular uprising of the masses,
the like of which has seldom
been witnessed in this country,
instructed enough of their repre
sentatives from county and state
conventions to insure Bryan's
nomination and the result is a
distinct victory for the people
themselves. And they are de
termined, as never before, to
place him in the White House.
And those who have had "their
ears to the ground" recently the
big politicians and newspaper
editors, that have been num
bered with the recalcitrant con
tingent, are leaping upon the
band-wagon by the scores and
hundreds.
Political conditions in North
Carolina were never more favor
able than at present. The party
appears to be united in the sup
port of Bryan and Kern, a con
dition heretofore unknown, since
Cleveland's election in 1892.
Verily; this is a democratic year.
The republican party has been
weighed in the balances . and
found wanting. - All together,
democrats, and the victory is
yours. .
The senatorial convention for
this district will be held in Ruth

ru us every true democrat can
pell afford to support heartily.
President SarrmM
the National Federation of Labor,
has just paid a visit to Hon,
William J. Bryan at the latter 's
home in Lincoln, Nebraska, and
pledges the labor vote to the
democratic ticket. Mr. Gompers
scores republican hypocrisy and
declares that organized labor can
hope for little consideration at
the hands of either -Mr. Taf t or
his party. The labor vote is a
power in the northern and many
of the western states and if it
goesto Mr. Bryan his election is
inevitable.

Campau, former member of the com
mittee for Michigan.

James to be one of the most capable
men in the party,-it is said he does
not want the place. First and fore
most, Mr. James is an orator and his
services on the platform will be in
great demand during the campaign. He
believes his greatest usefulness can be
exerted in this direction.. Atwood
is highly thought of, particularly
among the westerners, but eastern
sentiment is believed to He between
Lamb and Campau. The latter's wide
experience and keen business ability
make him a favorite for the place. ,

Have
Occurred from Baltimore Storm.
Baltimore, Md., July 15. The iden
tification of one of the hats found
hear an overturned rowboat after the

instead of nine, -v
It has developed that William Kir
wan and George Gardner, hearing cries
for help, boarded a launch and head
ed for the rowboat from which the
cries came. In It they saw three
women and three men. Before they
could reach the rowboat they saw it
turn over and the occupants disappear.

by Klrwan and Gardner led later to its
identification by William Preis , who
stated that the party in the rowboat
was made up of Antone, Joseph and
Mary Bader, Mary and Emma Welder
an'd Henry. Doutousch, none of whom
have since been heard from.

if you have a good stomach and wish to keep it,
steer clear of lard-cooked food. Lard is made from
fibg fatvand is more apt to be impure than it is to be
clean and healthful.
; Cottolene is the most reliable frying and shorten
ing medium. It is a pure, wholesome, digestible
product, that is bound to be more satisfactory than
lard wherever it is given a fair test.
Besides being more healthful, Cottolene is more
economical than lard or cooking
butter, one-third less being re
quired. It will, moreover, make
more nutritious food than either
lard or butter.
With all these advantages
on the side of Cottolene, what
argument have you for not using
it? Your own grocer, if he is
progressive, has - Cottolene for
sale. Buy a pail to-day, use it
according to directions, and we
will warrant you will never go
back to the lard habit. '

Horse Back Riding
Popular in Hendersonville.
The fashionable fad of horse
back riding has struck Hender
sonville hard, and early in the
morning, and more especially in
the "cool of the evening, the thun
der of galloping hoofs may be
heard on Main street or on the
many beautiful drives surround
ing the town.
Xhe- majority of the fair sex;
who indulge in this fashionable ,
(and which for once happens to
be healthful) exercise, ride as
tride. Indeed 'tis as rare to find
a lady riding the conventional
way here, as it is in Central Park
New.York City.
There are some really fine, rid
ers here, both men and women,
who seem to be a part of the
horse itself. '
The livery firms, anticipating
a demand for 'good horses for
this special purpose, made early
arrangements to meet the de
mand, and there are many superb '
saddlers in Hendersonville.
