Advertising Rites Reasonable. lored at Pickens Fustoice as Second Class Mail Matter PICKENS, S. C.: THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1908. Broke Loose Again. "It is a reproach to the Amer an people that the two great >itical parties of this country -, dominated absolutely by vo men-the Republican party Theodore Roosevelt and the emocratic party by William -nnings Bryan. "It is a. reproach t) the white sople of the country, and par cularly to the white people of e South, that any such con mtion as that to be held at enver is possible among a free id self-respecting people." Again the News and Courier eaks loose. The obsession is rrible; the lack of reason pa jetic. If Bryan "dominates" to party, in what manner is is grip made effective? Just the moment when Roosevelt "dominating" the Republican irty in the culmination of a umpaign in which the full >wer of an administration con -oiling every office, and distrib Ling scores of millions in pat Inage, has been employed, the outh's vote seized, and opposi ,ion crushed with an iron hanl, is it fair, is it even decent to couple Bryan's name with that )f Roosevelt iA m 4fly, domination? Will the News and Courier Ay what itifluence Bryan pos .sses except the honorably won 'Ifluence arising from regard nd trust of the people? He has ever had an office to give or an fice to promise or a dollar in atronage to bestow. Where .e has struck it has been at the rossly wveaithy and unjustly trong. He has possessed no * ver to move men, no external ower to force his views uipon xe public. All he. has Is his .ersonality, and the faith of .is party. With all the strength of the Aiministration, and public pat ronage enlisted in his behalf, it as published that Taft's relatives and supporters used much more .han a half million dollars to *;ecure his nomination. Where hmas a dollar been spent for Bry .an's campaign? Bryan's sup port developed without organi zation or effort on his part. The allegation that it is a re proach to the white people of the country and the South In particulai' that delegates have been sent to Denver to voice the expressed wish of the Dem ocrats of the South and the country, is stillness so vapid as to be stupid.-[The State. * John E.
