THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK v The fight for the presidential nomination as it draws nearer to a close, narrows down to a flight between Bryan and Taft in their respective parties. The Hughes movement has played out. Mr. Hughes has proved a reformer of the Jerome kind. Ordianary criminals suc'i as yeggemen, pool-room keepers are not able tc buy influence but the big fellows who courtail and manipulate the market escape. This is not a time when such men stand much chance befon the people. Connon's strength does not ap pear formidable. Infact this particular Cannon's boom is noi very loud. The speaker's follow ing seems to consist chiefly of Washington press bureau and E Spencer Blackburn. Meanwhil the procession of States moving steadily to Taft grows large: every three days. In the Demo cratic camp, the great State o: Illinois has declared for Bryai and instructed her delegates t use all honorable means to securi his nomination. Though Bryan has not® ye enough pledged delegates to in sure him the nomination it look as if he soon will if hi s opponen Gray is an impossibility from th start. He bolted Bryan in 189 and no man who did that wil ever be president or the presid ential nominee of the Democratii Party. Johnston appears to bi an excellent candidate. Elected twice from a stronglj Republican State, each time b: strongly increased majorites, hi ought to have had no difficulty ii winning over the twice defeate Bryan. But the rank and file wil have no other than the Nebrask an. There is no pallel to thi strong power in all political his tory of the country. So at pres ent the outlook is that Bryai and Taft will face each other ii the ring with Watson and Hears independent dummy as minoi attriction. , Republican Convention Held Newton, April 25,—The Re publican convention held here to> day endorsed Roosevelt's admin istration, Taft for President, Adams for State chairman, A. A Whitener, of Hickory, for Gov ernor, and resented the sending of emissaries into the National convention. The delegates were instructed for Taft, Adams anc 1 J. J. Britt for delegate-at-large. The congressional delegates wert instructed for Donald Wither spoon, of Catawba, for presi dential elector. A Card. To THE VOTERS OF CATAWBA CO. It is with pleasure that S. E. Killian's name is presented tc the people of Catawba county for the office of County Treasurer subject to the action of the con vention. - Mr. Killian is fully competent to fill this important office and has always been an unswerving Democrat and is a deserving Confederate soldier. As Hickory Township pays one third of the county taxes it is but just that she should be re presented in one county office. A DEMOCRAT.

It gives us pleasure to publish in this issue of the Demecrat the announcement of Mr. J. D. Elliott's candidacy for the State Senate. For twenty years Mr. Elliott has been an active and en thusiastic Democrat,- always will ing and anxious to do what he could for the Party's success. With the passing of time, other men once sterling advocates of Democracy have grown cold or departed from the faith, but he has known neither variableness nor shadow of turning in his party allegiance. Not -with words only, but also with the in dlsputablelevidence of results. Whenever funds were needed for any important political pur pose, it has been customary tc "send the bill to Elliott." He has the essential qualities to make a splendid representa tive of his people, wide experi ence, marked business ability, courage of conviction, and un q :estioned integrity. His exc utive ability has been called in to service again and again in th control of municipal affairs ir Hickory and under his able anc business-like administration th Graded School was built, watei and seweratre plants established and parks bought. In fact, t, him and his associates Hickor: owes every important public im provement that has been estab lished in the last ten years. If there is such a thing as i party and a people owing an; man recognition, then the peo pie of Hickory and the Demo cratic Party of Catawba County owe it to J. D. Elliott. He has been no .self-seeker Time and again he has stoo quietly aside while party reward went to others and, in some in stances to men who never, unti I they became candidates for of ace did one hour's work or spen a single dollar for the cause o Democracy. Mr. Elliott need have no fea that his candidacy will not fini warm and determined supporter will enter the ring and fight t a finish for his nomination an* election. Postoffice Building for Hick ory. Hickory at last has an oppor tunity to secure a postoffic commensurate with its import ance as a business center. Thi lease for the premises on th West end of the square now oc cupied by the office will expir on Oct. 1 1908, and the Postffic* Department has already takei steps to secure new and large] quarters with a modern equip ment. Special Agent Trotter o: cne Department recently visicef j the city and was in conference I with a number of property ov ers but it is understood he cti not arrive at a definite conclusio; relative to the location and w i.- return in a few days, when he hopes to be able to close a con tract. It is understood he dt sires to secure a room contai. ing not less than 1803 feet -' floor space and is not particuia About the location of the- roon jtast so it is in the businos?? „.v v tion and reasonably central. A the lease which he proposes u make will probably be for ter years it is important that th room to be selected will be salis factory to a majority of the peo ple. It will be well for anyorn who has a suitable room to offer to consult with the postmaster who will be able to give him in formation regarding the equip ment or will advise him about when he expects Mr. Trotter tc return. Any building of sufficient size and suitably located will be- con sidered. Announcement.

Many people object to taking the strong medicine usually prescribed by physicians for rheumatrsm. There is no need of internal treatment in any case of muscular or chronic rheumtifm and more than nine out of every ten cases fo the disease are of one or the other of these varieties. When there is no fever andlittle(if any) swelling, you may know that it it only neces sary -to-ayyly "Chamberlain's Liniment freely to get quick relief, Try it. For sa.e by W, S, Martin.
