The Annual Reunion of Con
federate Veterans of the State' As
sociation will be held at .Winston
Salem on the 19th and 20th. of
August. It is important that I
should know- as early as ' possible
who expects to attend in order
that I may be -able to inform our
friends at Winston the probable
number that will attend in order
that ample . arrangements' may be
made for our entertainment, as we
have not had a State Reunion for
several years and 'as our Winston
friends will make extensive pre
paration for our entertainment and
comfort. I trust that every veteran
of our camp wilb endeaver to go
with us on this occasion. Winston
Salem is one of our most wide
awake and progressive cities and
nothing will be. left, undone by her
citizens that would ( add to pur
pleasure and make this occasion of
our meeting with them a great
success. So I u'rg upon every
member of our camp to let me
know of his intention of attending
as early as possible.

TICKET AND PLATFORM.
'Comments on Both By Newspapers
anijindmduair
a j ' .;r a: .-.t., f . - A,
Radicalism - :has , not : run,: its
course. - In Brvan the - rem
party has a candidate who is likely
to ipoll a! million' more 'votes against
Taft thah Parker polled against
ROoseyelt." - Evenf then he may fall
shprt of election. But the- Repub
lican party will have a .fight oh its
hahda. fight from start to finish,
and one that will tax its resources
to the yery limit. -That, at any
rate, is the, cool, candid judgement
of 1 this newspaper. Washington
Herald, Ind. Dem.
While I may differ from some of!
the views set forth in the : platform,
and while there' are tilings I might
have done differently, nevertheless
I am going to support the ticket and
do:all I can to elect it. Political
platforms can never exactly cor
respond to individual opinions and
wq cann6t all get platforms jusf to
suit us. As I said, the platform
adopted is a fair approximation of
what the Democratic party believes
to be right and just. Martin W.
Littleton, of New York.
Mr. Bryan undoubtedly owes
his nomination to the support of
the great mass of the Democratic
voters, - These voters prefer
radicalism to conservatism and
Bryan to any other possible Dem
ocratic leader, Recognizing this
fact The The Tribune has never
considered Mr. Bryan s a pitibly
weak candidate? He is obviously
stronger as a vote-getter than
J udge Parker was in 1 904 or than
any other Democratic nominee
would be this year who owed his
selection to conservative influences
Republtcans will do well not to
consider the campaign of 1 908 a
walk-over' New . York Tribune,

' It is the greatest,' ticket ever

political conveniioii ever hefd; The
ti c ket Wil li w i n .
It will be strong in the East anxd
it ought to sweep the Middle West
.- '
and the Northwest. . We : have
given Mr. Bryan for a running
mate a man of like opinions with
himself,' one of the greatest men
ever produced by Indiana, an as
sociate and friend -of Hendricks,
Voorhees and McDonald in their
A A
lifetime, and. by his nomination we
will win Indiana. Besides all thir,
we have given Bryan and Kern a
a platform on whiah they can stand
and which the sentiment of the
country will approve. Norman E.
Mack, National Committeeman
from New York. .
Under a deep sense of the re
s ponsibility therein involved. The
Record has determined ,to support
tie candidates of the Democratic
party. There is a drift in both
parties away from safe constitution
al moorings. But 'of immediate
and vital issues that divide the,
political opinion of the nations the
Democratic - party is most firmly
rooted in the faith of the fathers
For thirty years The Record, day
in and day out, has striven for
tariff reform. It will fight on under
the lead of Bryan, .who beleives
the protective principle not only
unjust but (unconstitutional. It
will fight on for unfettered trade
and equal rights under whatever
leadership the war is waged, in the
belief that the good of the masses
is deeply involved in the result.'
Philadelphia Record, Ind, Dem-.
Which Bolted Bryan in 1896 and
1900. :
" No intelligent survey of the
nation's defenses against Bryanism
can blink-the truth that that they
have been greatly weakened dur
ing the past four years. It is npt
possible to-day to rally- the
conservative forces of the country
in opposition to Bryan so splendid
ly as in 1 896. Everybody , knows
the reason why. You cannot re
vile a man whom you have imitated.
A, party that has appropriated
Bryan's ideas cannot, with good
effect, attack ' his person. At the
very beginning of the Republican
campaign, it is the part whether of
frankness or sound generalship to
admit that power of resistance to
Bryan has been much broken by
-four years of yielding to him.
President Roosevelt's avowed and
deliberate purpose has been to
head off Bryan r oy "stealing - his is
sues. iThe argument, or threat
which he has constantly used has
been; "If you do hot go half way
with me, you will have to go the
whole way with Bryan." Well,
we see now what comes of the plan
of lighting; a dangerous enemy by
surrendering to him- The Bryan
who has been extinguished is ex
alted higher than ever. New
