C.. THE Johnson Bureau .at Washing ton like his presidential boom, seems to have petered out. At least we do not get any more literature from.it. THE Washington Post thinks that the large number of operations for appendicitis throuehout the country is one of the unmistakeable signs of returning prosperity. The Edgefield News says its coun ty cares nothing about Bryan. May be so. But just wait until he is elected and then watch Edgefield rush for the pie counter. No Foraker "nigger" need apply for admission to the Republican con vention. None but Taft "niggers" will be admitted by the Taft com mittee, who are in charge. The man in the White House with the big stick has determined on the nomination of Taft by the Republi cans for President. It remains to be seen if he can make the people elect him. The recount of the mayorality vote in New York is showing that there was just about as much fraud on one side as on the other, and not as much on either side as Hearst claimed there was. Some of these easily deluded Dem ocratic papers that hailed Roosevelt as a great trust "buster" will no doubt be convinced of their mistake when they see the trusts lining up for Teddy's man, Taft. The "fat frying" of the big cor porations in the interest of Taft has already begun. The Republicans will have an immense campaign fund as usual, but we do not believe they can buy the people this time. t All the .'so-called Democratic newspapers in the South that have been praising Taft and villify ing Bryan, should be consistant and use what little influence they have for Taft, as he is really their choice for President. The New York Herald, in its es timate of the standing of delegates eiecied to Denver on the presiden tial nomination, says Brvan now has over seven hundred delegates and that no other na.ne wili be pre sented to the convention. When a trust owned newspaper like the New York World is corner ed it splutters out brazen lies against the real trust fighters, like Bryan and others, which are taken up and re-echoed all over the coun try by a lot of little "me too" news papers. No doubt Little Joe Brown is the weakest man intellectually ever elected Governor of Georgia. But that is just the kind of man the cor porations, who elected him, want. A strong man, mentally, would not have allowed himself to be used as the corporations used Little Joe. The several gentlemen who thought they were candidates for the Presidency before the Republi can Convention don't Mke the way Taft is "fixing" the delegates for himself, but they will all submit and pull for the ticket because they know they would do the same thing for themselves if they were in Taft's place. It makes no difference what Taft and his managers may do about; kicking out anri-Taft delegates from the Republican convention there,' will be no bolt. The Republican! party is organized and run in th >" interests of the trusts, and the Re-' publican leaders, who are the active j agents of the trusts, know that the surest way of getting results for their trust masters is to stick to the j machine. So they will stick. Fixing Up Things. Taft's friends being in a majority on theNational Republican Execu tive Committee have things their own way, and what they say goes. The committee has been in session in Chicago for several days arranging the contested delegations, which are mostly from $he South. From near ly every Southern State there is a Taft and an anti-Taft delegation, but this does not worry the Taft people much. They proceed to fix up things easy for Taft by putting the names of those delegates who are favorable to him on the list. The opposition is full of rage, but it rageth in vain. As the Charles ton Post says "all is Taft that comes into the hopper of the national com mitte, or rather all is Taft that comes ouc of the mill. Evidently it is in tended that no chance shall be tak en. The convention is to be most carefully constituted so that it will turn out no other result than a Taft nomination and the national com mittee is on the job. Taft agents and .exponents hold proxies for seats on the committee, his em ployees swarm about the scene, and steadily the grind goes on that is to convert the opposition into support, in vain do the "allies" shriek to heaven that they are undone by this high handed proceeding; that is what the Taft machine is for, made and guaranteed for just such undo ing work and its operators are quite accustomed and are entirely indif ferent t? the shrieks of the victims. The order has gone out of the White House to nominate Taft and that wili be done, in spite of the conse quences. The full brutality of the Roosevelt policy is being illustrated to the eminent gentlemen who are candidates against the favorite. They may be Republicans in good standing but they might just as well be Democrats for all the considera tion they are going to receive in this business of Mr^ Roosevelt's. "Maybe it is a winning game, but maybe, too, it will be carried to far. The Republican convention this year is to be a political massacre, and the shedding of so much Republican blood must leave some sorrow and some hatred behind. Will Mr. Fair banks and Mr. Hughes and Mr. Can non and Mr. Knox and Mr. La Fol lette feel like whooping it up for Mr. Taft after the convention has jammed him at the head of the tick et over their mangled corpses? Oi course they will whoop, all rightj but will they feel comfortable and enthusiastic? Not very much so. And there will be a good many thousands who will know their feeling and will take it out at the polls. The Bepubli cans are a well disciplined political crowd but they have their limit oi endurance and the allies may have I reached it this time. "They certainly should have, for there never was seen before?no, not even when Hanna was framing up the nomination of McKinley? such wanton disregard of the rights and interests of all save the favorite, as has been in the preliminaries of the Chicago convention. It was pretty bad in 18% and the effect of it would have shown in the election too, except that every thing was I forgotten in the face of the free sil ver menace of the Democrats. There will be no cloud of that sort this year to obscure the enmities of the Republicans, nor under the cover of which they may make truce, and the raw spots the convention is go ing to make on the party will not easily be healed.C The Republican convention is being run in a way that promises some comfort to the Democrats. From the point of J view of a Democrat the performance is distinctly entertaining." Bryan Will Beat Taft. Taft is certain to recieve the Re publican nomination for President at Chicago this month, and he is equally certain to be defeated at the polls in November by Bryan, who will be nominated by acclama tion at Denver as the Democratic Presidential candidate. As the National Food Magazine puts it "the politicians have agreed under the will of Mr. Roosevelt and Taft influence, that the 350-pounder shall be nominated by the Republi can party but the people do not want Taft." The Magazine goes on to say that "the people have two idols; they will be satisfied with ei ther. Their preference, however, would be for the one who has been tried and found honest, courageous and just. Therefore the people would rather vote for Theodore Roosevelt than for William Jennings Bryan. But they believe in Mr. Bryan---they know that many of the policies called Roosevelt policies to day were the Bryan policies] of twelve years ago. executed by a man having i ! com ige of his convic tions. T'.iey know now, from the exposures oi recent years, that Mr, Bry m was defeated for the presi dent in boih his campigns by a de luge of money coming from the cof fers >f the 'twilight zone' marau ders. They believe that William Jennings Bryan knows the difference i betweeen right and wrong and hasl the courage to protect the people's t interest. They love Theodore Roose- p velt for the good he has occomplish- c ed; they love William Jennings Bry- t an for the good they knew he can t accomplish. The republican party i will either nominate Theodore i Roosevelt or go to defeat if the t democratic party nominates William t Jennings Bryan. The National Food j Magazine has no interest in poli- < tics, as such, but is interested in the j election of men who will strive for the passage of good laws and insist 1 on their execution. For thirty years l the United States was in sore need i of a food law that would prohibit the swindling adulterator from pois- i oning the people, but it was not un- : til Theodore Roosevelt became pres- i ident that such a law was made pos sible. The "interests" were too strong until the man of courage arrived at the White House. We know what he accomplished for the cause this magazine represents and we would therefore prefer that Theodore Roosevelt be retained as the president of the United States, butiif this cannot be done, our pre ference is for a man who believes in the same principles and who, we believe, has equal courage in action William Jennings Bryan. The Old Veterans. Again the United Confederate Veterans, grizzled heroes who fought on many bloody battlefields for a loosing cause, are assembled in annual reunion at Birmingham, Ala. Death has thinned the ranks visibly since the general reunion in Richmond last year, and a hush of sadness has fallen upon the remnants of the vanishing hosts of the Con federacy because of the recent death in Vicksburg of General Stephen D. Lee. commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans. The conclave, which began Tuesday in the Magic City will be a time for recounting past victories and defeats from which all the old sectional bit terness has departed, and for last greetings and partings between many of the aged veterans who re , alize that on this occasion they may answer to their last roll call on| ? earth. Many federal veterans were ? present and fraternizing with boys ? in gray the enmity between "Yanks" ? and "Rebs", forgotten. The gray s line grows thinner and thinner, and ? soon the last Old Confederate Vet :' eran will cross over the river to i rest under the shade of the trees 1 with Lee, Jackson and the host of 1 others who made the name of the i Southern soldier immortal, by their valor and heroism. Dr. Snider Chosen. The trustees of the South Caro ! lina university Tuesday named Dr. Henry N. Snyder of Wofford col ? lege for president of the university. , The election was unsought by Dr. ; Snyder and it is not known whether, . or not he will accept. A telegram I to the State from SDartanburg is to the effect that the people of that ! city decline to give up Dr. Snyder. i The president-elect has wired the ! trustees that he cannot accept un til he has laid the whole matter be ! fore his board of trustees Saturday. This is not the first time that the ! South Carolina university has gone i to Wofford college for a president. Dr. Snyder is an able man and should he accept would do a great work at the university. We have never been much of an admirer politically of Gov. Hcke Smith, of Georgia. He has always been to much of a Cleveland wor shipper to suit us, but stiii we think he is right in his fight in Georgia, and sooner or later the people will turn to him again, and then he will gain a permanent victory for the) masses over the classes. The Taft interests have started a Vice-Presidentiai boom for Cortelyou who is said to have been Wall Street's choice for the Presidential nomina tion. He is to act as a buffer be tween Taft and Wall Street in ex tracting funds from the trust mag nates to finance the campaign. It is said this brilliant stroke originated with President Roosevelt, the great and only trust "buster." One of Taf t's political managers says "from the way things are now going, no nam^ but Taft's will be presented to the convention." Sure. What would be the use, after the Taft committee gets through "fix ing" the delegates as they have been doing at Chicago for some days. The Taft managers have found it cheap er to count out the Foraker "nig gers" than it is to buy them, and so they have counted them out. Of Interest to Democrats. The National Democratic Con- '? gressional Campaign Committee has 1 begun active operations at its head- c quarters at Washington, D. C.
