Throughout the residential district
the front porches of the houses
were thick with |ibople enjoying the

Members to \ ,?te for Bryan.
A dispatch from Washington in
advance of publication in the Federationist,
the newspaper organ of
the trade unionists, President Gompers,
of the American Federation of
Labor, Wednesday, night liberated
he proof sheets of a democratic editorial
that will appear in the August
issue of the paper
There are three double columns
of it. much of the typo being used
in quoting the written demands that
Mr. Gompers and his associates made
on the Republican and Democratic
conventions for insertion in their
party platforms. Stress is laid on
'he anti-injunction planks of both
conventions, which are quoted, analytical
comments by Gompers being
idded.
While disavowing an Intention "to
lellver the labor vote," Gompers ex- i
presses the opinion that the worker I
will have to answer to his fellow l
workers, as well as his conscience, if
his action is contrary to the political <
course that is pointed out for him.
An argument is submitted with I
the Intention of proving that the Renuhltcan
party is the enemy and the i
Democratic party the friend of labor
and it concludes with a call to i
the workers to defeat their enemies i
for all offices, presidential, legisla- t
tive and judical. i

were the following:
Whereas, foreign immigration is
being advocated for the South; and
whereas, our United States itntnlgra- ^
lion commission is investigating the f
attitude of the South and particularly
the attitude of the agricultural (

campaign his attitude on the mater."
On the subject of a State fertilizer
factory, which has been frequent- J
ly discussed heretofore, the following
was adopted:
"Whereas the farmers of South
Carolina have paid this year $2,022.- ]
500 more for fertilizers than they
did five years ago; therefore be it
resolved:
"That we request every Union f
man present or absent to question (
the candidates for the House and t
Senate to try to pledge them to a (
bill providing for the sale of the
State farm and the establishment of
a guano plant in this State to furnish (
guano to the farmers at a 10 per
cent net profit to the State: said fac- >

was held, which was attended by ,
many ladies and citizens who are not
members of the Union. An address (
was delivered by National President .

to some extent the purposes and
work of the organization and told of
its rapid growth within the last few
years. Mr. Barrett declared that

The Farmers* Union is a secret c
organization, the purposes of which \
are educational and co-operative.
The organization numbers in its j,
membership some of the most in- n
tciligent and progressive farmers in (
South Carolina, and it Is said that
there are now about liO.OOO member* j
in this State. The Union teaches
the farmer to rely on his individual H
efforts, and by co-operation to bet- ,
ter the condition of himself and his (
fellows. The delegates who are in .
attendance on this Convention are <
displaying a deep interest in agricul- j
tural and labor conditions, and by |
exchange of ideas are making them- ,
selves familiar with conditions
throughout the State and the South. ,
Many of Its members are naturally '
alive and influential in politics, but ,
the Union is kept free as possible
from such matters, and it is quite
evident that while the organization
is united to a man for its principles
the individual members are exercising
their own judgment about candt- (
.dates and political Issues. *

'Imrles lb.van Says the Ticket Will
Swee|t Every State West of the
Missouri.
Mr. Wm. E. Gonzales, editor of
The Staie. returned Monday from
Denver. Col., where he attended the
Democratic national convention and
vitnessed the triumphant spectacle
>f the nomination of William .1. Mryin
by a reunited and revivified pary.
It seems that the West is afire
vith Democratic enthusiasm and that
he South is the only section of the
ountry which is not thoroughly
to tno probability of Detnoratic
success.
Mr. Gonzales talked with a great
lany persons whom he met in diferont
cities In the West through
hich he passed on his way to Holier
and return, and he declared that
t was indeed gratifying to hear a
umber who had always been Itepuhcans
say that they would vote for
Irynn this year.
"The West," he said, "appears to
e realizing for the first time that
has never got anything from the
'.epublicnn party and, so long as New
ork and Ohio are allowed to furish
the president, that the West
ever will be benefited.
"I asked a number of represent live
men why they did not make
>me olfnrt to get into closer relaons
with the South, both politically
ltd commercially. The idea everyhere
met with favor.
"The llryan managers at Denver
isplayed great good judgment and
ict in handling a number of delicate
aints, and as it result the unity, at
te close of the convention, of many
ten that previously had appeared
reconcilable was remarkable. The
ict that Mr. Mryan while opposed
? Johnson for vice president was
partily in favor of Judge Gray and
10 knowledge of that softened a
>od many of the Easterners. Again
hen they came to examine the plat>rm,
it was found that whilst it
ood for something positive it was
idical only to the extent that it proilsed
definite reforms, and both
latforiu and speeches gave all the
jsurance that capital needs that
irery honest dollar will have the ful>st
protection from a Democratic
resident and a Democratic admintration."
Mr. Gonzales' attention was called
> the fact that there has been some
leculation as to why it had been i
ecided to limit the matter of makig
public the means of contributors
? that those giving less than $100
ould not be named.
"The reason is that many subordlntes
in manufaeturers and minor
illroad officials and others not inependent
wish to eontrlbuto small

"Mr. Rryan seemed to be very
lueh pleased with the suggest ion
Hit friendly newspapers Invite conbuttons,
and? I hope that South
arolina will aid to this extent in
le great tight for Democracy.
"To Illustrate the spirit of the
emocrats and the new Democrats
f the West, I will tell of one bignnded.
collarless Nebraska farmer
ho told me that he had contracted
ith the publisher of a newspaper
1 an adjoining town to print a paer
for him during the campaign,
tie issue to he distributed among
is Republican neighbors. Tve got
little money,' he said, 'and I
light as well spend some of it that
ay.' lie was then wearing a butin
in (lie label of his eoat on
hich was printed 'Rryan Volnn>ors.'
For that button be paid $10
s a contribution to the Neluaska
lemocratic campaign fund."
Mr. Gonzales declared that it is
nown that Judge Gray was preventd
from accepting tlie nomination
nr vice president because of bis deendence
upon the permanent salary
rhicb he now has, for if elected,
ipon going out of oflice lie would

I Al'l "FADS TO X K\V SI'A I* 1*2 HS.
I try an ('alls I'|hhi Tlii'in to Collect
Funds for Campaign. ^
An appeal by Mr. Bryan to the
Democratic newspapers of the country
to begin the collection of funds for
the campaign was one of the important
happenings of the day. '
The statement follows:
"I wish every Democratic paper
would begin the collection of a fund
i from its subscribers. There are very
few Democrats who could not afford
to make contribution and the people 11
will never be able to control the t
government until they take on ti. 11
selves the burden of supplying campaign
funds. As long as a few men 11
furnish the money to fltuinee a campaign
the men will exert an undue '
influence upon the government.
"It seems that we have reached a

and this is a step in advance but the
individuals who control these favorseeking
corporations niav still doini- -Vl
nate politics by furnishing the sinews n
of war. The Democratic party has
struck a blow at this system by limiting
contributions to $ lb.otto and providing
for publicity before the elec- ^
lion. The Republican party has so
far refused to join with us on this '
proposition but public sentiment may
yet compel it to do so. I have no
doubt that the Democratic party will s*
receive contributions from more in- v<
dividuals than ever contributed to ,u
any campaign and there is no reason 01
why the entire sum necessary should
not be supplied by routrilnitions from
the masses. If every Democratic paper
will take the matter up and lend "
a helping hand we will soon have s'
money enough in the treasury to

and that is all we want." fh
