The State Democratic convention which met in Raleigh lust Tuesday was a fine body of North Carolinians und thiv endorsed XX'oodrow Wilson for president with a whoop, and ( looted ninf delegates at large who are Wilson m-n to to to the Bal timore conv-.'i.tion and cast the vote far Mr. XX'ilsan. A State ticket was nominated, beginning with Locke Train for Governor, who received the prize without opposition. The ticket is published elsewhere. The delegates to the National convention are W. C. Dowd. A. W. McLean. K. D. Glenn, E. J. Hale. E. J. Justice, J. S. Carr, V. ('. Newland, W. C. Hammer, and V. T. Dortch. It de veloped that tho convention could have been instructed for Wilson, but the Wilson pci-iile contested them selves with an endorsement of his cr.ndidaey. There were two fights in the con vention, one bet w wen Wilson and Underwood. In which the Wilson forces were completely victorious, and one over the platform. In which the friends of Senator Simmons suc ceeded in getting an endorsement of the whole delegation in congress. The convent ion was organized by the friends of Senator Simmons, his managers having Rent orders out before the county meetings were held asking that only Simmons friends be put on tho delegations. On the other hand, Mr. Kltchln's mnnnger had asked his friends not to seek to do this, as the matter had been left to the people in a primary, and he wished to make no effort to bring the senatorial ques tion In any county or the State con vention. The result was that there were more supporters of Mr. Sim mons in the convention than there were friends of Mr. Kltchln, and as they had seven out of ten of the members on the platform committee, they wrote a platform which they thought would be favorable to Sena tor Simmous. The majority of the committee reported their platform, which contained this plank: "We heartily endorse the record of our senators and representatives In the congress of the United States, and the administration ot our State's affairs by our Governor and ether State officers." The minority members of the con vention, consisting of Mr. Claude Kltchln, Hon. J. S. Manning, and R. S. Neal, offered as a substitute for this plank, the following: "Wo endorse the record of the democratic party in Btate and na tional affairs." The Men's c' Mr. Kltchln and of Judge Clark contended that since the convention had already ordered a primary for the people to nettle the question of who should bo sena tor, the convention ought not to take any snap judgment in favor of any candidate, and tho thing to do was to endorso the party record and have out any mention of any specific man. They knew that the Simmons forces had a majority in the convention und could pass any- thing they wanted to, but offered the minority report merely to give nn opportunity for those who were opposed to such uction to have some way by which to register their dis approval. There were speeches on both sides and the convention was In nn uproar most of the time. When the vote was taken It was found to be 538 in favor of the ma Jorlty report and 363 for the ml m-rity plank. The Simmons people were elated over this, but the Kit chin and Clark people were not in the least cast down. They claimed that if a convention, which had been selected for the very purpose of en dorsing Senator Simmons, contained 303 tried and true Lkimooratos who would not vote for it, such was not a very valuable endorsement. When asked on the following day If this would cause him to cease discussing Senator Simmons' record. Governor Kllohin said: "It certainly will not. It only Justified the course I have pursued nid emphasizes the necessity of Its continuance. If the purpose of the ro-called Simmons endorsement "was to prevent Democrats from discuss ing his record, it Is equivalent to a confession frtin his frienda that it cannot stand discussion. I shall con tinue to promote sound and progres sive Democracy, and discuss the uc tlons of Senator Sitnmosn showing bl.4 departure from its principles and policies. His friends recognized the truth cf my statement that the rec ord of Senator Simmons cannot be upheld without repudiating the rec ord and tho principles of the Demo cratic party on which we hope to elect a Democratic President this year, for the convention which was organized by his friends voted down nn endorsement of tho record of the Democratic parly in national affairs. If his friends had considered his record In harmony with that of the party they would doubtless have In corporated In the platform an en dorsement of the party's record In Congress especially as we have the House for tho first time In sixteen years. Recognizing that an endorse ment of the record of the party In national matters would not be an endorsement of Senator Simmons, his friends without daring to boldly endorse his violation of oar plat form, his speeches In support of Lorimer, his repeated vote and speeches for protective tariff rates,! his repudiation ot many sound doc- trines he preached to our people from l S03 to th election of 1'Jos for which trungression thousand of Democrat oppose him, included his record without nu-ntioning his name i i general endorsement or tno rec- ' ril of our Smators ami R.'presen 'ivs In the United State Con- Kress." This of course secured the j support of many who would nut have omloned the record cf Senator Sim mons specifically. As the actions ot our Senators and members of the House were fro ie.enily at variance with his, such seneral endorsement by n Democratic convention applies to those net Ian which are In accord with Democratic principles, policies and platform, and docs not apply to any of his actions when his colleague or member of the house, whose reC' ords are endorsed in the same sen tence, acted on the same matters Et variance with Mm. and in accordance with Democratic principles and pol Ides. Any other npplication will he a repudiation of Senator Overman our members of the House on all matters when they disagreed with Senator Simmons. "The efforts of his friends to boost him by such an endorsement after he. Judge I'lark. und myself had signed an agreement for a pri mary and the committee had order ed and the convention had approv ed a primary at the November elec tion for the Democratic voters of the State to name their choice for Senator, looks like an effort of poli ticians to forestall the people from inquiring into his record, r.nd ought to make, the people more determin ed to have a State-wide primary law. i.l thorn; hour platform fails to speak for one. The people had every right and reason to expect our con vent ion to hold hands off of the senatorial contest so far as the can didates are concerned. They did not anticipate that there would be an attenmpt to promote the cause ot any candidate whose record Is un der discussion by any sort of en dorsement however general in its terms, or contradictory In Its effect. The senatorial contest having been committed to the people I shall ap peal to them to repudiate steam roll er methods in trying to repress the issues Involved in the contest. The Democratic masses control the des tiny ot the party and on primary day each of them whether he at tended the convention or not, can cast an equal ballot with the most astute politician. The partisan ac tion of the friends of Senator Sim mons In the convention has made my nomination more certain than ever, as the people will resent their refusal to endorse the "record of the Democratic party" Bolely In the interest of the Senator s candidacy The party's interests are and Bhould be above the interests of any can didate; the party's record should be ubove that of any individual, and when they deliberately refused to endorse the party's record they put the interest of one candidate above that of the whole party," Union county was represented in the convention by .Messrs K. II. Ud win., A. M. Stack. R. L. Stevens, R. K. Bcnsley, O. XV. Smith. J. E. Thomas, R. V. Lemmond, It. A. .Morrow and J. M Guin. The dele gation voted faithfully the instruc tion of the county primary and the county convention. On the minor offices these instructions had been Riven in t ho primary, and on the presidential candidates in the coun ty convention. The vote for presi dent was cast eleven for XXilsnn and three for I'nderwood. On the plat form resolutions the delegation vot ed according to their individual views. The convention met at 12 o'clock Thursday and adjourned at G:30 the next morning. Warning Given fW (ioveiniiieiit. Cuban The U. S. Government has sent the following telegram to Cuba: "Under the exigencies of the situ ation arising out of the failure of the Cuban authorities to take ef fective nction for the protection of American life and property, tho com mandant at Guantannmo naval sta tion has been compelled to land four companies of marines. This action has been taken as a measure of protection only and not for tho pur pose of cutting down the Insurrue tlon. which Is clearly the duty of Cuba. Four large wnrt'.hlps will forthwith be sent from Key West to Cu.intnnamo to be in readiness in case the situation should demand a'- additional forces for the snme pur pose. It Is hoped that these meas ures will at onco awaken the Cu ban government to the necessity of promptly and adequately meeting and discharging its duties and re sposlhllltles, and you will vigorous ly Impress upon tho president of Cu ba that a continued failure on the part of his government adoquntely to protect life and property will In evitably compel this government to Intervene in Cuba under and In re sponse to its treaty rights and ob ligations." The Issue of proclamation by President Taft is all now necessary to meet the legal requirement pre liminary to Intervention. Whether and when this last step shall be tak en depends upon the ability of the Cuban government to deal with the issue. That government will be giv en a fair chance. Capt.

Woodrow Wilson It the face of agresslve opposition, the work of selecting delegates to the Pal iinoro convention practical ly came to nn end. All of the states have chosen delegates wi.h the exception of Vermont, which dvs not act until the lSlh. The result of the Democratic slate conventions In Minnesota and Nor;h Carolina, both of which declared In favor of the candidacy of the New Jersey executive, make It certain tht Governor Wilson will go Into the Haltimore convention with more than any of the o'her candidates. His delegate vote to date totals 3'i'i. while Speaker Clark is second with 249 votes. Mr. Underwood has Mi delegates. Governor Harmon 35, Governor Foss 3'i. Governor Burke li, GovornorBaldwin 14.

The 19 votes given Gov ernor Wilson by the people of Ohio, and which the Harmon forces at tempted to take by the adoption of the unit rule ,are claimed for Gov ernor Wilson, whoso friends will re sist on the floor of the Haltimore convention this effort to undo the expressed will cf tho people. Gov ernor Wilson's frlndes will mnke no effort to bind the four Smith dele gates from New Jersey, and will mnke a fight at all times for recog nition of the primary principle.

Numbers of my friends over the ccunty having asked to know my views on the legislative Issues now being discussed, and there being no county canvass in which the candi dates might make their views known to the people face to face, I wish to say through the columns of your valuable paper how I stand on these matters, and to let the voters of Union county know what to expect of me if they elect nie to the next legislature. Believing In the equalisation of tnxatlon nccordlng to the strict vnl uatlon- of the property taxed, but seeing the great expense- and the inequality as well as the Injustice of this new system of listing taxes I om opposed to the present meth od now in operation. Believing that the right of the people to elect their own officers ought never to be denied in a demo cratic county, I urn unqimlifidely in favor of allowing the people to elect the Hoard of Education, the county Superintendent of Public Instruction and the county Tax Assessors, If the people ere intelligent enough to elect their own officers, thev nr; in telligent enough to elect these. Believing that It would be a snv lug to the county, a saving to tho officers, and a satisfaction to the people to have the county officers put on salaries instead of fees. have always favored pulling officers on reasonable salaries not too high Knowing that tho farm Is the foundation of nil Industry, believ ing that the interests of the farm ers ought to receive the closest at tention of legislators, and having pi ways been engaged in both active atid progressive farming, I shall, If elected to the legislature, do all In my power to give tho farmers n square deal and an equal show with men of all other vocations. One of the measures favoring farmers which 1 shall advocate Is the Torrcns Sys tem of registering land titles. And now in conclusion, thanking the people of Union county for all former favors, assuring them that will If elected do all in my pow er for their good and to accomplish the foregoing reforms, and trusting that they will support me in the coming election for one of their rep resentatives, I tun with best regards.

John Wanamaker's r-piuion that there are only four reasons way ' have not esta'j'i.-hed a parv h-I'Oft-viz. the A.lr.n.s, Tuiud S i:.s V.YIis-r.-rM) and Southern Exa ss companies iii not t.;ke I:. to . count the fear of local Merchants thai the mail order houses will ab ii b tlu-ir business. Many Congress men will not consent to any measure ;I.M will seriously affect ih-j coun try s'o.-o or merchants in small towns. If the local ueri hunts could l.e convinced that their hujir.ers would be helped, not injured, the parcels post would te quickly estab lished. John M. Stahl. legislative agent of the Farmers' National t'ongrest, has made an inquiry into the work ings of the parcels post in coun tries where It has been long estab lished, asking particularly, "Do you think that your parcels post lias done more harm than good to the shopkeepers In your villages, towns und small cities?" Dudley W. Wal ton, editor of "Advertising," Lon don, sta'es that it has done the lo cal merchants good; they "use it both ways," and there is lrj com plaint of its workings. The same answer is received from Austria- Hungary. Letierj were addressed to 250 'newspapers In Australia and New Zealand, and Mr. Stahl says: "Without one exception the replies received were favorable to tho par cels post. Every one there was not one exception stated that the parcels poBt had been a net bene fit." The Waltara (New Zealand) Mail, for instance, writes that no harm has been done local dealers ai a "large majority of people pre fer to buy on the spot." In other words, they want to see what they are buying. One great significant fact brought out la that the largest mall order houses are In the United States, the only great civilized nation which has no parcels post, while in the coun tries where It is in operation the mall order firms are comparatively small. There is a suspicion that their enormous growth in America U due partially to low rates grant ed by express companies, giving them a blger advantage over the small dealer. This would be wiped out by a government parcels post, which would give all merchants a sijunre deal. The agent of the Farmers' Na tional Congress concludes his plea for the parcels post with this argu ment: "The prosperity of the country merchant depends upon the number of his customers. Hence thiit whl'-li will check the movement of popula tion to the big cities nnd thereby mnke the number of his customer;! more than they otherwise would be Is to the benefit of the country mer chant. Not even the most radical of the opponents of u modern par cels post for the United S'aten no one disputes that a modi r". p-r-eels post In this country would re lieve one of tho s.-rioiis inconven iences and disadvantages and add measurably to the indncemetnu and ,'ittractivenss of country life, and thereby Increase that disposition to remain on the farm, which would, In so far as it increased, augment tho number of people to trade with the country merchant." Rain Saved Hiihiina Uvom Riot. Ilabnra, .lime '.. A d.duge of rain which lugan to fall this morn ing and threatened - to continue h ii night relieved ;he city of Hab.ina of tho dreaded peril of an uirisl'.:j of the whites against the negvots. Tho streets of the espital this even ing were deserted save for patrols of mounted rurales, regular infnn try. the police and home guards. There was not the least indication of disorder. The riot last night, while extend ing to nil parts of the city and etnis- ln?t general excitement and alarm, resulted in few casualties. A white onlooker wmi mortally wounded and r-evornl negroes were injured. Th disturbance lasted only a short time but was considered serious as indi cative of the bitter nnimoslty of whites towards the negr os which has been larcely fomented by re ports of assaults upon white womm. The government Is still without important news from Oriente as to the military movemnets of the reg ulars there. Rumors are still insistent here that intervention by the United Slates is Immediately Impending. President Gomez, on being In formed tonight that American war ships had been ordered to Habana. declined to make any comment. Se ner Ramirez, the presidential sec retary, however, said thit the pres ident had expressed neither satis faction nor regret on the receipt of the news. Senor Ramirez In a statement on the situation belittled the serious ness of the conditions in the capi tal. He declared that the govern ment had 14.000 troops In Orlente province and that the insurgent bands were being broken up. The little son of Mr. T. C. Eu banks, Glenn, who was bitten by a horse week before last, and was car ried to Charlotte for treatment, Is still In the hospital. The wound Is on the cheek, and while not dan gerous, the physicians are being car ful to have it heal so that there may be the least scar or drawing of the face possible.
