Bryan Wanted a Southern Man for President.
For whom did William Jennings Bryan vote at the St. Louis
convention to he the Democratic nominee for President?
A Southern man.
What kind of a Southern man?
A Confederate brigadier general.
Was he a person of ability and character?
Y*s, ihe peer of anv man in the nation as a statesman, a pa¬
triot and a Democrat.
Was he experienced in public affairs?
For nearly thirty years continuously he has represented hi*
state in the United States senate with transcendent ability, and
unswerving fidelity and zeal.
Why, then was lie uot nominated?
v Becanse Bryan could receive no help front Southern delegates
bhtsiie of this man’s owu state.
The opportunity to which we refer was when Missouri placed u,
nomination her favorite son. Senator Frances .Marion Cockrell.
A man who has always been true to the South and her institu
tions. A man who followed the Southern cross through a'l the
vicisitude 9 of battle’s strife. A man weighed in the balances of
party fealty and country loyalty and not found wanting A tuau
of spotless honor, of the purest patriotism, and highest ability.
The public will remember that one of th* .feature of the all
nigbr session, July 8 , of the St. Louis convention was the beauti¬
ful tribute paid Senator Cockrell, when his name was placed in
nomination by Champ Clark; it was a spontaneous outburst, the
dispatches said. Delegates, though wearied by the long SeSSIOtl
and exhausted labors, indulged in a demonstration that lasted a
half hour.
Then William Jennings Bryar. gained the floor, and in one cf
the most dramatic situations ever witnessed in political gutlier
ings, addressed the convention in seconding the nomination of
Senator Cockrell. Bryan received a great ovation His speech
was an impassioned appeal to the delegates to give the party a
candidate who had voted the Democ r atic ticket in 1890 and 1900.
He.spoke in behall of the Nebraska delegation which he said had
no candidate to present or favors to ask, but wanted a candidate
whose nomination would not be a triumph ot one faction over
another. Ho made an electrifying effort for anti-Parker forces
to rally, and made an impassioned appeal to the Southern dele¬
gates to stand by a son of the Southland. The convention offi¬
cials and police were powerless to control the seemingly hypnotic
spell cast over the convention by Bryan's speech, but in the end
the Parker forces were unshaken and the New Y'orkor won the
nomination.
Cockrell received l.ot one vote from the Solid South, save Mis¬
souri’s 30. He obtained some votes from Kansas, Minnesota and
Nebraska.
In the presence of more than ten thousand people at St. Louis
Bryan stood and pleaded eloquently for the nomination of a
Southern man, but not a voice from the South, save Missouri's
wa* raised to help him.
He declared that Parker could not be elected, it nominated, and
the South’s opportunity to come into her own was at hand. He
called upon the Southern delegates to assert their^power and
maintain their rights, but all were dumb.
Some Georgians, whose mission in life seems to be 10 assail
P»ryan, and who are clamoring now for a Southern man “tile next
tune,” lizard his impassioned appeal but remained uoiespousive.
They gave back no echo to Ins tinging plea, though one of the^e
Georgians said m his paper, after the party’s defeat in 1900,
4 4 This c:y conies now from our “loaders,’ urging us of the South
“to be patient,’ to‘be of good cheer,’ to ‘stand in line,’ we’ll get
’em next time,” is like throwing a nubbin to a dead horse. It
mocks our misery and our poverty, and insults our intelligence
Rissing to the height of his great oratorical power, his breast
swelling with patriotic emotion, and his eyes flashing with the
fire of Democratic zeal, Bryan, in a voice sounding like a bugle
call to arms, cried aloud to the Southern delegation to rally to
the standard of Missouri’s favorite son, but he received no gytn
pathetic answer from these men who are now clamoring for a
Southern man in 1908, and who in 1900 exclaimed; i 4 Is it not
time for Southern manhood to cut loose from the North? At least
we can be a bit independent and throw our vote in the national
conventi ni, or in the electoral college, as it best pleases us with¬
out being cramped and feeling afraid—without being bullied or
bought. Those who are expecting post offices and other little
jobs that emanate from the White House may think it best to
continue the chance of winning with the Northern Democrat in
the saddle.”
If Cockrell had been nominated for president, Missouri would
have given her electoral votes to her favorite son, instead of to
Roosevelt, and the Solid South would ba unbroken to-day, and a
different election story might have come out of the West, aud
from the North.
And why should not the South be fond of William Jennings
Bryan?—Macou Nows,

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,
No one who is acquainted with
its gook qualities can be surprised
at the great popularity of Cham¬
berlain s Cough Remedy It not
only cures colds and grip effectual¬
ly and permanently, but prevents
these diseases frctu resulting iu
pneumonia It D also a certain
cure tor croup \\ hooping cough
is l.ot dangerous when this remedy
given It-con tains no opium cr
other harmful substance and may
be given as confidently to a baby as
toanedult It is also plsasant to
take When all of these 'acts are
into con sideratiou it is not
usrprising that people in foreign
lands as well as at home esteem
this emedy very highly and very

No New Party.
There will he no new party to
organize a new political party to
supersede the Democratic party.
Such talk is very premature hav¬
ing originated in the imagination
of Hon. Thomas PL Watson anJ
will amount to nothing. There I
will be no conference between Mr, |
Bryan. Mr. Hearst, Yr. \\ atson j
an \ others ns was announced
by Mr. Watson's manager. Both
Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hearst declare
that they know nothing of any
such proposed conference and
that they do not propose to take
any part in it. S.y it seetns that
the proposition is Mr. Watson’s
'
and that he had the am ounce
ment made that a conference
would ha held without having
consulted Mr. Bryan or Mr.
Hearst.
Mr. Bryan and Mr Hearst have
both made public statements in
which they deeluie that they will
stick to the Democratic party, ai:d
do all in their power to aid it.
There is no need for a new party
The Democ-atic party is good
enough. The principles it stands
f ir are the highest ideals of pop¬
ular government and no improve¬
ment could lie made on these by
the organization <>f a new pirty.
The thing to do ns Mr. Bryan says
is for the Democratic party to
push to the front some issue that
will appeal to the p;ople. It
must take the side of the common
p‘lupin as against organized preda¬
tory wetaith and make the cam¬
paign along such lines. And
Judge Parker speaks with equal if
not greater foice when lie says
1 that time will soon come when the
people w ill turn to the Democrat¬
ic party for relief that they will
soon realize that ‘‘the tariff-fed
trusts are absorbing the wealth of
the nation”. In hi 9 opinion the
great moral question which con¬
fronts the Democratics is: “Shall
the trusts and corporations be pre¬
vented from contributing money
to control or to aid in controling
elections?”
There is no doubt but that the
trusts contributed more largely to
th ? defeat of the Democratic tick
et. in t he elect iot last Tuesday
than anything else and Judge
Parker has sounded the keynoue.
whether or not, they shall control
tile elections in this country is the
great moral question fur the peo¬
ple to decide and when they come
to a realization of this fact they
will turn to the Democratic party
as their ou'y hope for relief. No
other party can hope to offer more
speedy or surer relief from the
burdens that oppress the people
than the Democratic partv, and
for this party for this purpose is
uncalled for. The Demeoratic
party is based on principles that
are lasting that appeal to the CO til
mon people as do the principles of
no other party and an offer of
anything in lien of them woul 1
meet with speedy repudiation.
