well executed. One , of the many
pleasing features 'Which adds much to
the pleasure of an evening's entertain

The minibqr of prominent Democrats
all over the country who have an
nounced their desertion of Bryan and
have advised their friends to vote for
Toft and Sherman is a matter of grave
concern to Mr.' Bryan's managers. In
Richmond, Va., always a rock-ribbed
citadel of Democracy, a Taft business
men's club has been orgc.ulzed, with
hundreds of members, and in Baltimore
the defections of leading Democrats
has become the subject of a dally se
rial in the newspapers; These Illus
trations are given not because they are
exceptional in this campaign, but be
cause of their geographical location.'
In Chicago a sensation was caused
by William Prentiss, who announced
Bryan for President and-Deneen In-'
stead of Stevenson for Governor. Mr.
Prentiss has been a Democratic, lead
cr in Chicago for several years. He
was Civil Service Commissioner under
Mayor Dunne and has several times
been Democratic candidate for Judge.
In 1808 he was chairman of the Demo
cratic State convention. He was for
merly an ardent Bryan pnrtlsnn. ,
In a letter nude public recently Mr
Prentiss charges Bryan with betraying
his followers aud forsaking the prin-
'tiiles for which he stood prior to the
present campaign.; 4
Mr. Prentiss bays:, , '
"Bryan claims' that he is the man to
continue und extend .Roosevelt's work,
claiming much of it as suggestions of
his own. Less than threp months ago
J preferred Bryan as Roosevelt's suc-
ttssor. He was my party leader, In
whom I then bad full confidence.' Kut,
as before ludkmed, my faith in Bryan
is a relic. Bryan, not the ideal Bryan
of the past, but the real Bryan of to
day, surrounded by the Macks,' Mur-
pbys, MeGrawF, Tagaarts, Sullivan
and Joe Bailers et M. of the present
day Democratic party, at the best could
be but a dlmmd failure."
California Dvinorrati for Taft. ; '
John J. Barrett, for ivurs one of the
most brilliant orators of the Demo
cratic party of California,, h,'1 regis
tered this year us a Republican. That
registration has given the Democratic
managers a shock ouly second to that
which they felt when they learned tliht
M. F. Tarpey had deserted the shift
ing cause of Bryan. ,
"My rcRlstrntiou speaks for Itself,"
said Mr. Barrett. . "When asked to
state my polities I said I was a Re
publican. That tells the tale."
Barrett preached Democratic de
trlnes from all the stumps of Callfor
oia.
Reanoaa et a North Carnllnaa.
Repardless of past affiliations, sfu
dents of affairs, delvcrs and thinkers,
are fast lining up for Judiie Taft. A
recent example Is that of Silas McBee,
editor of the Churchman, of New York.
In an Interview he says:
"I am a North Curolluan by birth and
a lifelong Democrat. I shall vote for
Mr. Taft because he bns It In his heart
to bring my people of the South back
Into ahxolute union with the national
life aud to their historic place as a con
trolling force In the nation, and to dc
which would immortalize him as a
statesman.
"I shall vote for him because he more
nearly represents my ideals of govern
ment, of social order and economic pol
icy than any living Democrat, or any
man before the people to-day, save
alone Theodore Roosevelt, who Is the
ouly Republican President I have ever
voted for. Mr. Taft has administered
every trust committed to him by the na
tion with an eye single to the nation's
good and for the highest Interests of
the people that compose the 1181100."
J
The Boater la Baltimore.
Mr. George It. Willis, former presi
dent of the Police Board of Baltimore
and Democrat of the old school will
cast the first Republican vote since he
sttalned his majority. Mr. WUIU w'll
vote for Taft.
"Under no clfcumslanccs coiM I vote
for Bryan," said he, "for the reason
that I do l-t believe he Is since . and
If sincere, Is n.t a good man for Pvs'"
d.t t of the tutted Prates."
"How do you gauge public senti
ment T Mr. Willis wss asked.
"Among my clientele I know of no
one who will rote for Bryan. There la
not a Democrat wbo favors blm."

KIllS BEAR !
MAR COVE
A bill of fare to fill a bear Is what
a certain Mr. Bruin has been thinking
for several weeks over at Cove. lU
has been making nightly excursions
down to the Devore place, a location
about a half mile beyond the electric
light plant, In our llttl sister city,
much to the annoyance and the grief
of mind of T. J. Ryan, foreman of the
plant. Having sat up for several moon
light nights watching for the fellow
who would never come when wanted,
Mr. Ryan decided to set a blind man
to look for this Ursug Major.
Thereupon he procured a monHtet
bear trap and placed It conveniently In
the trail of the midnight marauder.
Consequently, this morning when he
visited the trap ho found his qunrry
safely held as a toothsome morsel by
the blind man the trap. Ills majesty
snowed fight, but was soon dispatched
with a rifle. When weighed he tipped
the scales at over 300 pounds.
Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cola.
A. J. Nusbaum, Batesvllle, Ind.,
writes: "Last year I suffered for three
months with, a summer cold so dis
tressing that it Interfered with my
business. I had many of the symp
toms of hajr fever, and a doctor's, pre
scription did not reach my case, and
t took several medicines which seem
ed to only aggravate my case. For
tunately 1 Insisted upon having Fo
ley's Honey and Tar and it quickly
cured me. My wife has since used
Foley's Honey and Tar with the same
success." A. T. Hill, druggist.

ROOSEVELT HOT SHOT.
Oa Haikell. ,
Governor Haskell's utter unfit
ness for any public position of
trust or for association with any
man anxious to make an appeal
on a moral Issue to the American
people has been abundantly
shown.
As nn American citizen who
prizes his Americanism end cltl
eenxlilp far above any question
of partisanship, I regflrd It as a
scandal and disgrace that Gov
ernor Haskell should be connect
ed with the management of a na
tional campaign. .
Te Rrxaa.
In my Judgment the measures
you advocate would be wholly in
arwtlve In curing an evil, and
ao fur as they had any effect at
all would merely throw the entire
business of the country into Lope
less and utter confusion.
I Put Mr. Taft' deeds agslnst
your words. I ask that Mr. Taft
be Judged by all bis deeds, for he
wishes none of them forgotten. I
ask that you be Judged both by
the words you wish remembered
and by the words that seemingly
you and your party now desire to
have forgotten.
