Washington, Sept. 14.—The Demo
crats of the South are still loyal to
William J. Bryan, according to Senator
F. M. Simmons, of North Carolina.
'Southern Democrats," declared he,
'believe In Mr. Bryan’s honesty and
sincerity of purpo.e and his profound
sympathy with the people. They re
gard him as the greatest advocate of
the people's rights and Interests which
this generation bee produced, and
though they disagree with him radical
ly on the questions of government own
ership and the Initiative and roferen
dum, they have confidence that he will
submit to the Judgment of his party
associates on those questions, and If he
Is a candidate for nomination he will
have the support of the North Carolina
delegation and probably most of the
Southern delegates, most probably
without any Opposition.
“I feel sure North Carolina and the
South generally would eupport Mr.
Bryan’s tendencies should he ask the
nomination. There is a widespread
hope In that section, shared by many
of Mr. Bryan's warmest supporters, that
he will not be a candidate, but will
lend his great Influence to the selection
of a ticket which will heal the factional
breach in the party and draw to It tho
hearty and honest support of all ele
ments In tho party,
’’These men believe It such a ticket
could be named It would not only re
ceive the united Democratic vote, but
the votes of that large element which
In recent years have voted the Republi
can ticket, but have lost sympathy with
that party on account of Its attitude
toward the tariff, centralization and the
trusts and want a change in Federal
administration, and that such a ticket
would have more than an even chance
of election.
"The great majority of Democrats of
North Carolina would rather tee Mr.
Bryan president than any other man in
the United States. Many of these be
lieve he would, poll more votes next
year than any man we could nominate;
but there ere legions of Mr. Bryan's
friends who think otherwise.
"In these conditions with the nomi
nation practically conceded to Mr. Bry
an, if he shall ask It, a great responsi
bility will rest upon him, a* great per
haps as ever rested upon a human be-
Ing In this country. For myself I be
lieve that Mr. Bryan, putting aside self,

duty to his rtirty and to the country."

BENEFIT GAME FOR CRACKERS
PLAYED MONDAY AFTERNOON
Atlanta’s big benefit game Is slated
for Monday afternoon St Ponce DeLeon,
beginning at 2:30 o’clock.
The first events on the program are
the field sports.
All the players are In training for
these events and there will be keen
competition for the handsome prizes
offored.
Mayor Joyner, after a long aenrch,
has rounded up the fastest razor-
backed porker In all Georgia and this
specimen Is to be entered against the
players In the greased pig event. The
pig, which has been christened "Charles

Crackers nn awful run for it. He has
a mark of 10 flat for the hundred yards,
1.16 1-4 for 7 1-2 furlongs and has
paced the mile In, 1.56 1-4. He is also
wiry and well calculated to tnke care of
himself against the onslaughts of the
Atlanta team.
After the field events are concluded
and the greased pig has been rounded
up, Bill Smith's baseball team will play
Otto Jordan’s baseball team for a side
bet of $9 a team. Each man on each
team has chipped in a sinker for the
event and It will be for blood. And
heaven help the umpire.
It Is expected that a record-breaking
outpouring of fans will see tho benefit
games and already the anle of tickets
has been very large.
