It was the expected which hap pened at Denver in the wee sma’ hoars of to-day as chronicled else where in these columns. Mr. Bry an was nominated as the Democratic candidate for the presidency by an almost unanimous vote. It was not surprising- that he was nominated but it was surprising that he received 893 vote* on the first ballot out of a total (of 1002. All of which seems to Indicate that the Peerless One Is - more strongly entrenched in the hearts of the Dem^rj^tJc^family than ever before. His hold on the people has grown since his second nomina tion four years ago and It Is not at all certain that Mr.- Taft will defeat him. On the other band his chances for election seem encouragingly bright. One good omen Is that, ac cording to ■ reports, he carried the New York State vote solidly. \ We have nit as yet read carefully the platform adopted by the conrven lion but expressions of gratification at its conservatism and saneness are heard on every hand by those who have read it. With a platform that . can “command the endorsement of Democrats in every section of the country and with his party standing loyally tof him, Mr. Bryan has high hopes of being onr next president. We believe he will be. The country has sickened of the extravagance of the Republican party as exemplified by the' recent Congress and alio by Its alt-still dornothing policy. If the great evils that are crylng for remedy are to be remedial it must come from a Democratic administration and we believe the country is ready for it and is going to have it, Judging from the action this week of thp Durham city council and from similar action being taken here and there over the State it begins to look like North' Carolina will soon have sure-enough prohibition. Gaston county’s public school teachers—and a fine lot they are, by the way—-have been taking a dose of their own medicine the past week or ten days. They have been pouring over books and examination papers and hearing lectures on ajl subjects taught In the county schools. With all this, however, we doubt not that quite a few of them will regret to see the session of the summer school break up. In addition to having a bout the pleasantest place In the county—Lin wood College—In which to do their work. Superintendent llall and the other members of the faculty have proceeded on the theory that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" and have inter spersed the work daily with outdoor games, recreation and diverting en tertainments. That each and every teacher will derive inspiration and zeal from this session of the IJn wood Summer School and thus be better prepared to render completer service next year we have not the slightest doubt. STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM (Continued from page 1.) business affected by the laws of the State reducing the rates. We declare that the best interest of the State demands that all of our people shall unite In earnest endeav ors to secure employment at fair wages for all .of our fellow citizens who are now idle or who are working on short time, by no fault of theirs, but by reason of the panic caused by the Republican policies. CAPITAL WELCOMED. Every enterprise looking to tne investment* of capital and employ ment of skilled labor should be fos tered and encouraged by the State. All foreign corporations doing business in this State should be re quired to obtain license to do so, and the license of any such corporations should be revoked if watered stocks or bonds be issued by its violation of State statutes, or without tl^e ap proval of properly constituted legal authorities. Foreign corporations doing busi ness in this State should be required to submit to the jbrisc|ictlon of the courts of the State under penalty of having their license to do business in the State revoked. All contributions to political par ties or for political purposes should be made public at once, and the charter of any domestic corporation doing business I nothin State, and the license of any foreign corporation should be revoked, If any such cor poration contributes to any political -campaign^ fund,. or to any fund; for the purpose of-aiding 'or procuring the nomination of any candidate for public office. PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS All puDiic service corporations and natural monoplies should be brought under strict control of the United States as to Inter-State busi ngs, and of the State as to Intra State business, but a fair return on a fair valuation of property owned or operated by them should be al lowed, after paying operating ex penses, Including Just and ample wages to employes. \ Private monoplies should be de stroyed. Conspiracies by prospec tive purchasers to put dowri or keep down the price of articles prodhced by the labor of others should be made criminal, and all persons or corporations entering into such con spiracies should be punished; and we condemn in every form, subsi dies, gratuite8, bonuses, trusts and monoplies and they should not be tolerated. Congress shoujd so amend thd In ter-State commerce law as to pre vent discrimination and rebates tn inter-State traffic, and provide for the punishment by imprisonment of officers of railroads and other com mon carriers and public service corporations, violating such laws; and particularly to make unlawful such discriminations as are now or may tn the future be practiced by railroad companies and other com mon carriers and- public service corporations against all North Caro lina points in favor of points out of the State having'no greater natural advantage.' The party In power In the nation that has so long failed to' correct such inequalities la equally guilty with the public service corporations for the disadvantages under which this State has labored. ' No railroad company, telegraph company, telephone company, ex press company or other public' ser vice corporation should be permitted to issue or grant to any person, ex cept officers and employes, any free pass, franks, or other free service, privilege, benefit or favor, and the persons accepting same should be made equally guilty with the cor poration Issuing or granting the same. EQUAL PROTECTION TO ALL. We pledge not only to citizens of this State but to citizens of other States that all capital invested In legitimate enterprise in North Car-1 olina, wile* her foreign or domestic, I corporate jf.r private, shall have the equal protection of the laws and the equal friendly consideration of those who administer the laws; and we futher pledge that all such persons or corporations violating the law shall be made to feel and suffer the full penalties for such violations. . We condemn the practice of pro fessional lobbying. 'We denounce the vacilating and do nothing policy of the last session of the Republican congress. We declare that most of the legislation enacted by that body is cheap, taw dry, hypocritical makeshift. CURRENCY BILL DENOUNCED. We denounce the Cannon-Vree land-Aldri'h currency bill which was passed by the last session of con gress in the interest and at the dic tation of a handful of great banks and speculators who occupy offices on Wall Street. This iniquitous measure, which further centralizes in the hands of a few the issue of American monhy of tha American people was shamefully rushed through both houses of congress, in Its dying hours, under the lash of the czar-like methods of the speaker and through the trickery of the Re publican dictator of the senate. No more shameless spectacle has ever been presented to the American people than the method by which this hybrid and iniquitous measure was railroaded through congress. This bill turns over the treasury of the United States to the gamblers of the New York stock exchange for a period of six years. It seems a gift to tho enemies of the republic of the power to issue or retire one half billion dollars, exciting specu lation or compelling disaster, accord ing to which ever beat suits their betting book We condemn the Republican party whose policies and conduct produc ed in 1907 the most acute and dlsas trous panic in the history of the' United States. The effect of its policy has precipitated panic, blight ed industry, closed factories, re duced work and wages, halted en terprises, and crippled American production. Under this Republican panic suffering has been universal; soup houses have been established and strikes .have been of almost daily occurrence. The Republican party has been in control of the na tional government in all of its branches for the last 11 years, and now in the midst pf abundant crops and boundless national resources it has precipitated the most destruc tive panic,in our-'history. We point to the fact that every panic which has occurred since the formation of the Republican party was precipi tated while that party was in power. REPUBLICAN PARTY SCORED. We condemn the Republican party for its efforts in the national con gress to revive the bitterness of the Civil war and' renew again the bloody shirt issue, by tacking to the campaign publicity bill Crumpack er’s southern representation reduc tion measurer. The passage of this bill through the lower house of congress was an act of cheap, hypo critical politics, designed to corfal the negro vote in the doubtful States for their presidential nominee. y We denounce the Republican par ty for its failure to enact during the last session of congress a campaign publicity bill; but the people of the country need not expect sucn a meas ure to come from a party that thrives on corruption money and which could not carry on a campaign or win a national election without corrup tion funds from favored Interests. We denounce the present Infam ous and trust-breeding tariff Imposed upon the people by the Republican party and renew our demand fi»r Its Immediate revision, to the end that all unfair burdens shall be removed and especially those upon the necetr sarles of life, and those that enable the trusts to extort from the people unreasonable profits and to sell their products to consumers at home at higher prices than Is charged for the same goods to foreign consumers. WILD EXTRAVAGANCE. We denounce the Republican par ty for Its wild extravagance during the last session of congress. In the last five months the Republican con gress spent $1,200,000,000 of the people’s money, levying a fttx of $13 per annum on every burdened tax payer. We do not wonder, there fore, at the present deficit of $660, 000.000 In the treasury, and the ex pected deficit of $180,000,000 at the end of thQ next fiscal year. The Re publican billion dollar congress of 1890 produced a Democratic victory in 1892; the Republican billion dol lar session of* the present congress means the triumphant election of a Democratic president'in the coming election. w!e condemn the Republican ad ministration for turning over mil lions of dollars of its public money to its pet banks In New York City, which thereby depleted the public treasury to such an extent that it be came necessary for the Republican administration to issue bonds and borrow money to meet the daily obli gations of the Federal gbvernment. We condemn the Republican par ty for its failure in the last congress to enact a law forbidding one lnfsr 'ior judge to suspend the operation of a State law without notice or hear ing. We declare pur inflexible opposi tion to the methods of expanding Federal power at the expense of,the Just powers of the State, and we es pecially denounce the bold and revo lutionary threat that the omission of the States to pass laws upon subjects j within their constitutional powers, be trcmtS^ these powers intof^^^ wliichR^^^Vj lawfully proceed as if such pW^^y were possessed by it under th£^^V stitution f- /" PROMISED REFORMS^NOT GI Though promising reforms, manded by the people, the cans in their national convV the behest of favoredVpCefi ed down every plank look! forms and relief of the pi curbing the powers of th] That convention, controlle oral office holders, after i for president a life long ol who was never elected by to any office, platform on every measure, straddles, or gives^MHpe to the ear only to break it to t^jwpe and com pleted its work by notjfiiatlng, to the tune of '‘Marchrtrg'Tllrough Georgia” a candidate for vice-president who has led in throttling"' every reform measure offered in the last session of congress, including a bill to meet the pressing need of the preservation of our national resources, opening waterways and preventing the de struction of our forests. We have faith in the patriotism of our people, and in the ultimate de velopment of the natural resources of the State, and we call upon all North Carolinians to unite in a common ef fort to restore prosperity, to re-es tablish confidence, to forget faction al differences and to cultivate peace and good will among men.

William Jennings Bryan, of Lin coln, Nebraska, for the third time be came the nominee of the Democrat ic party for the presidency when he was again named for this honor at 3:15 o’clock this morning in the presence of fifteen thousand people in the big convention hall In Denver, Colo. The vote on the first ballot stood Bryan 893, Gray 69 and John son 46, his majority being larger by far than even his managers had ex pected or hoped for. It was in fact practically unanimous and was made so after the ballot was taken. A bulletin 'announcing the result as given above was posted in, the show window at Torrence’s drug store this morning and the news soon spread along the streets till practi cally everybody hkd heard it within all 11UUI Ul DU* 1U VU“> ouuuovuuu it Is of interest to recall that twelve years ago yesterday in the Democrat ic convention at. Chicago Mr. Bryan made his famous “cross of gold” speech which brought him at 6nce Into the public eye. The platform as adopted is pleas ing to the great majority of Demo crats because of its unexpected con servatism. As a document it is quite lengthy, too much so to be reprinted here. Among the subjects of moBt interest dealt with are the following: Injunction' and railroads, denouncement of the needless ex travagance of the Republican Con gress, the plank on States rights, a declaration favoring postal savings banks, a condemnation of the recent Congress for failure to relieve the financial stringency, the favoring of election of senators by the people, an adequate navy and an income tax. Police Court. In police court Wednesday Sam Brown, colored, was fined $1 and costs for being disorderly. Yester day the following cases were dispos ed of: Morris Screen, colored, and M. L.
