That Convention.
The Landmark, in making "com
ments on tie various happenings
at the Democratic Convention, has
the followiug to say:
'Each side tried to make a lit
tle larger showing than the other
side and whiie the folks who don't
enjoy such things wanted it stop
ped, for i.t was tiresome, they just
had to sit still and take it out in
expressing disgust. The thing,
though, was infectious. Dignified
gentlemen who do nothing unseem
ly at home, cavorted like 10-year-old
boys. Once after a Kitcbin
demonstration Mr. r. B. Bailey,
of Davie, a dignified gentleman
but an enthusiastic Craig man,
stood upon the platform and ge
ticulated wildly for some oue to
bring him a Craig banner,- and
when he got his hands on one be
waved it aloft in triumph and ap
, parently enjoyed the. tumult the
Craig folks made. '! never
thought I would be such a fool, 1
said the dignified and affable Col
Keill Arcii McLean, of Uobeson,
also a Craig partisan. 4 but I march
ed and exerted myself until the
sweat poured from -me like a
horse." These are but lustances.N
Ihere were many similar one8.,,
Yes, indeed, Bro. Clark, and a
good many worse ones, . from what
we saw and read. Many people
made fools of themselves, while a
few actually made asses of them
selves. v
The Call For Teddy.
Those who were not present
at
the Chicago convention when tbe4 parent that the convention would be
cyclone ofapplause broke loose, for
Theodore Roosevelt can never. fully
comprehend the magnitude and in
tensity of the occasion. Nothing
approaching it was eve.r witnessed
in this or any other coilfctry. It
was described by those who have
attended many conventions and
made a study of such things as be
ing the longest, the loudest, the
most impressive demonstration ev
er known for any man at any con
vention. Nobody could stop it.

Even in the early stages it was ap-
afflicted with a sort of midsummer
madness.
v Our hats are off to that Lincoln-
ton lady who made a heroic attempt
to favor the convention with a vio
lin solo. She is clearly in line for a
Carnegie hero medal.
A report of the convention pro
ceedings read: "At 12:30 the con
vention was called to order." Must
have been some mistake about that.
There never was any order.
The chief value of the convention
to, the state lies in the fact that it
will serve the present generation as
a horrible example of how conven-
more Roosevelt admirers sent up a
wild and woolv shout the like of ti5ns should not be conducted.

Thanks to Charlotte.
Between ballots for attorney-gen
eral the following resolution was
offered by Fred N. Tate, of High
Point, and was unanimously car
ried: . '!
"I move that this convention
extend a vote of thanks to the may
or, the aldermen and other officials
of the City of Charlotte, the citi
zens, the clubs, the railways the
newspapers, and the various com
mittees appointed to look after the
comfort and welfare of the dele
gates to this convention for kind
nesses done and courtesies shown,
and to the ladies for their interest
and presence."
After the adoption of this reso
lution some humorously .-inclined
del igate solemnly moved that the
clubs be added to the list of the
various things for which the con
vention had extended its thanks.
"And I move to include the doc-
torn and the drug stores, too,' put
in a delegate just across the mid

The East's Ingratitude.
To the Editor of The Observer.
The nomination of W. W. Kitch
in for Governor was in utter de
fiance to every principle of right
and justice, and should be resent
ed at the polls by every" self re
specting and fair-minded Demo
crat in western North Carolina. In
defeating Craig the so-called De
mocrats of the east have manifest
ed the basest ingratitute, and now
that they have named the candi
date should be comDeled to elect
him without help from the west
Craig is far more ? honored in de
feat than Kitchin ia victory. No
Democrat living west of Salisbury
will ever be Governor of North
Carolina. If the Republicans nom
mate a western i man of character
and ability jo Governor, he will
go,in with a whoop.
