iUI)GER'S
TRIBUTE
TTthe Republican Party
r He Says He Realizes the
Serious Situation which
Confronts Democrass
In a series of letters written to
llr. Lyda of this town, M. Gudger
has been discussing with great
frankness the congressional situa
n as he sees it. Mr. Gudger has
iigh opinion of his own qualifica
;nsr as, a candidate and thinks
jat his party would make a terri
jle mistake in nominating anybody
elsW He has no doubt that he is
the strongest man in the party, and
he admits that there is powerful
need of nominating a strong man.
In his first letter he said:
"I realize the serious situation we
face. Because there is dissention
in the republican ranks does not
mean that we will win, for at the
last moment they will fall in line."
v In that letter Mr. Gndger said
that he had greatconfidence in Mr.
Lyda's judgment, and advice; and
-. in a later letter he aid he recog
nized Mr. Lyda as onof the prom
inent democratic leaders in this
section. :V , ,.
Mr. Lyda is a modest man and
, had never suspectiijiimself of be
ing a promment;.Satic IeadeB:
He was much impressed by Mr.
Gudger's tribute to the republican
party's jrapacity for falling m line;
and because of this capaci, and
because ol the fact ttiatjMr.rant
has done more for the district hi one
year than Mr.Gudger did in four
" yearsMr Lycfa makes m ' secret
of his .intention to vote for Grant

A Suggestion
Editor Times:
Your broad and fine-looking Main
street and its generous cement
pavements stand out as silent re
bukes to the partly neglected roads
leading from city-ito country. A
ride of 12 miles on various roads
leading to and from Flat Rock
where are so many costly and pala
tial homes of the proudest people
in the south leads me to say that
such land owners owe it to them
selves if not to the public to im
prove the roads leading up to and a
long their magnificent estates. Such
road improvement would enhance
the value of their own as well as all
property in the county. They caD
well afford to pay all the cost of im
provement themselves and main
tain a Good Roads association
whose chief work shall be confined
to the Flat Rock district. But ii
they woul(j extend their liberality
to other outlying sections, starting
a guarantee fund they would wic
the plaudits of many who now look
upon them as more or less exclus
ive, if not selfish. And the least
they can do is to countenance id
effort on the part of others who
may start a general Good Roads
association such as the one in
Asheville which - is doing so much
to beautify the ' suburbs of Ashe
ville. Whre there's a will . there's
a way to r' prevent Hendersonville
from being behind other cities and
towns in providing good roads so
important to the prosperity and ad
vancement of a community.

Waynesville Also Gets a Slice
Grant has Done More in
One Session than Craw
ford and Gudger Did
in AH their Years
The bill carrying an appropriation of $70,000 for a Gov
srnment building for Hendersonville passed the house some
days ago. Wednesday a telegram was received from Con
gressman, Grant saying that the bill had passed the senate.
Waynesville gets $7,500.
In one session Congressman Grant has done more than
Crawford and Gudger did in all the long years they "repre
sented" the district.
What Will
Roosevelt Do?
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
Washington, D. C, June 20. For months past the
whole country has beea speculating as to the attitude Mr.
Roosevelt would adopt towards political questions. While
he was in Europe all sorts of rumors reached his coun
try, but there was nothing definite benind them as the
ax-President declined to make any statement except that
he would say nothing until he returned. Now he has re
turned, and still he keeps silence; in fact he has announ
ced his Intention of maintaining his silence on political
matters for several weeks longer. And everybody is ask
ing what it all means.
The "stand-patters" express confidence that he will
align himself squarely with them; the "insurgents" say
that he will side with them. -Each side express a confi
dence which probably neither side really feels. They
cannot both be right; they are possibly both wrong. One
man's guess is pretty nearly as good as another's in the
present circumstances; but if you want a guess based on
a careful study of the conditions prevailing, here it is :
Mr. Roosevelt -will probably not align himself with any
faction, because there will be no factions. In other words,
the Grand Old Party is just now engaged in the occupa
tion which it usually practises in the, early summer oi
every even-numbered year; it is composing its differericeb
and "getting together." The trend in this direction is al
ready noticeable. Within the past few weeks a simply
enormous volume of important and valuable legislation
has been accomplished, and this was made possible only
by the "getting together" of all branches of the republi
can party. It is quite possible that some quiet hints from
Mr. Roosevelt have aided in this restoration of harmony; ii
is almost certain that, within the next few weeks,some
quiet hints from him will cause a continuance of the good
work; and, by the time he sees fit to talk for publication
the chances are that all republicans will be simRly re
publicans without any qualification or prefix, and it. will
take a high-power microscope to detect any line of cleav
age between '-stand-patters" and "insurgents". Then the
ex-President will come out ?with a ringing declaration in
favor of the Grand Old Party, the campaign will be push
ed with "a whoop, and a few hours Rafter the polls close on
the first Tuesday after the'first Monday in November the
democrats will again be wondering what hit them.

He Has Seen
the Light
Editor Times:
Having in the past (except at the
ast election) voted a democratic
icket, I now take this opportunity
0 state publicly that I will no long
r affiliate with that party, but ex
pect to cast my ballot with the
rand old Republican party, the
arty that has demonstrated that it
an give Us a good government in
Nation, state and county.
That the democratic party is now
1 FAILURE demonstrated be
yond all question; that it must die
eems inevitable; that it must per
sh ignominiously seems to have
een decreed in a rnanner that
nust be apparent to all men. I
iave lent my aid the last time to
iryanism, Ringism and such mis
ule as we now have thrust upon us
n Henderson county. I want to
jelong to a party that allows the
Deople to elect the magistrates who
nay try them and which creates
nagistrates for the purpose of en
brcing the law and not for the pur
pose of 'electing a county tax col
ector" at the expense of the people,
:o say nothing of the various mis
rule forced upon Henderson county
jy the legislature, all of which is
'amiliar to the people.
With these remarks, I take my
lat off and bid democracy a long
farewell, not that I expect to die
oefore it, for it will be dead and for
gotten when republicanism has
jnly reached a strong and vigorous
nanhood.
Please publish this letter in you?
paper so that I may go on record
md my democratic and republican
friends may know where I stand.
Respectfully,
