As we all know, the Senator's head and mind and heart form the trinity that has carried him to the front rank of American statesmen, and his tongue and lungs have always played a subordinate part.

The parade was headed by a brass i and and rounded up by a big "calliope" or xylophone, and created much enthitsiasm among th: admirers of the Franklin county candidate, and was a striking dis closure of the deep interest his home folks have in him. The Bickett men in the convention were not backward in telling enquirers that the delegates were "overwhelmingly for Bickett." Some of them asserting that its complexion if polled would be found to be 2 or 3 to 1, and they r.s confidently, asserted their belief in the Franklin man's "overwhelming majority" in the primary next month. I have already printed in these Letters what the Daughtridge people had to say about their hopes and expectations for their fav orite candidate. CONVENTION NOTES. The speeches of Secretary Daniels, Gov. Craig and Lieut.-Gov. (to-be) 'Max Gardner were the other features of the convention, as was the successful efforts of the anti-woman suffragists in staving off a contemplated plank for "wimmin's rights" in the platform. "See here," said a Lincoln county delegate, "the people in Mai. "VNT. A. Graham's home county don't think very much of that Robe son man's judgment of fit men for efficient service to the State. Al though Maj. Graham is a little older in years and- twice as active as many men i know who haven't reached the half-century mark, he is as 'fit as a fiddle' and then some for the next four years and more. Why, that old Olser heresy has been knocked out years ago by the grand old men who are doing much of the world's "greatest work in civil and military life on both sides of the Atlantic. Those who know the present Commissioner of Agreulture know well that he is one of th; livest wires connected with the present State administration and one of the most useful. Nobody up cur way has an idea of cutting out the Major (and lie is a real major, mind you, and no tin-soldier) at. the end of a second term. We need him in our business for another four years at least. Our county endorsed him with great enthusiasm at the Democratic convention last week and we are betting on his getting a b'ig majority in the primary." It was found that Major Graham's popularity was widespread and "catching." While one delegate was sounding the praises of the Old Confederate there Avcre always many bystanders to heartily en dorse what was being said. v c-aivn'ci or tne game were tlio as.nl ateliing Sullivan and Salsbury for Oak Citv and Carson for t'armaio.

A number of western counties recently passed resolutions in the Democratic county con ventions endorsing him for re-election. Col. J.

Grimes appeared to be confident of his reiiomination and think the rotation argument is not cutting much ice against him under all the circumstances. The Ilartness delegates declared their candidate would poll a big vote and of course they expect him to win, but admit that it is some job to defeat as popular a man as the Pitt county candidate.
