card published ye-ttorday morning, de

inntlpn. One did not have to mln?lo with
the delegates twenty minutes to dlsoovor
that Mr. Bruoo wns the choleo.
' Ho said h? could not afford to under?
take tho campaign, owing to the pressura
of business, but his friends "worked"
oh him, and when midnight oamo last
nlKht, everybody went to bod eortaln that
Bruco would be tho nominee, for he had
consented to take tho nomination. But
ho changed his mind after n night's sleep,
and announced this morning that ho could
not bo the candidate. Ho was firm, and

The Proceedings. .
Tho first session of tho convention hold
In the Hnrmolliig Opera Houso wivb called
to order by ex-Reprosentntlvs William
F. Rheat who acted for Peyton St. Clair,
chnlrmnn of tho District Committee, Mr,
Kyle Morrison, of Bristol, mnd? a
good speech In taking tho chair, and was
mado temporary chnlrmnn; Frank Wysor,
of Pulaskl, was elected temporary secre?
tary. Committees were nppolnted, and
the convontlon adjourned to 2 o'clock,
and tho del?galos rushed to their hotels
to stand In lino for nn hour or more at
the doors of the hotel dining-rooms wait?
ing for a chanco to occupy a seat at tho
crowded tables.
T.Tpon reassembling the orles for Jud?o
Rnea were ho long ho had to respond,
and ho mado a capital speech, working
up "tho boys" to such a pitch of en?
thusiasm that after ho took his scat
tho delegates remained standing clapping
their hands ,nnd stamping the floor,
Bruce and Bryan.,.
Mr. Ellyson lind been recognized be?
fore tho applauso subsided and ho wns
called out. "Bruce and Bryan sound good
to me," was Mr. Ellyson's? opening sen
tonco, and It sent the crowd Into a
roar of enthusiasm. Ho declared In tho
course of a speech which kept tho dele?
gates clapping their hands to the finish,
that this was by far tho most enthus?
iastic convention ho had attended In tho
Ninth District In years.
.Mr. Walter Addlson, editor of tho
?Lynch-burg News, and an old resident of
the Ninth District, wns called upon, and
JiIb responso, which was brief, had
crowded Into It a grent deal of hard
senso relative to tho value of organiza?
tion and hard work.
? By this timo thu committee on perma?
nent organization was ready to report.
It recommended that E. Leo Trtnkle, of
Wythe, be made permanent chairman, and
3. Frank Wysor, of Pulaskl, permanent
secretary, and the delegatos adopted tho
rfeport with a whoop. Mr. Trlnkle Is on
orator, many of, his sentences are suffl
qjently epigrammatic to be remembered,
which cannot bo Bald of tho majority of
orators.
Bryan Enthusiasm.
At one point he alluded to our Joffer
sonlan creed modernized and strength?
ened by our almost superhuman thinker
and loader William Jennings Bryan.
Practically every delegate sprung to bis
feot and manifested his enthusiasm for
a minute.
Then the familiar figuro of Judge Sam
Williams, of Wythe, appeared. He had
the report of tho committee on plat?
form. Tho platform ratifies the notion
of tho Democratic committee In calling
tho convention to make tho nomination,
and declares In favor of having tho next
State convontlon bo modify the primary
plan as to pr?vido that all congrcsHlonal
nominations be -made In convontlon. Tho
reading of this section caused great ap?
plause.
The platform re-affirms the St. Louis
platform of 1?KM, and declaren that all
beneficial leglBjJj.tiqn. exacted by the Re?
publican par,ty .-?-t. tTi'o last session of
Congress wrts but the carrying out of
D?mocratie principles, , endorsos, the ad?
ministration of fTovornor Swa?son, calls
upon tho business and laboring men to
aid In tho completo development of Lho
resources of the Ninth District, and fi?
nally endorses William .1. Bryan, de?
claring: "We unlto in pledging .to him
our unqualified Biipporf. for the Demo?
cratic nomination to the presidency In
ADOS." '
Bryan Endorsed.
There was prolonged applause at tho
mention of tho name of Mr. Bryan, In
the midst of which H, L. C. Richmond,
of Scott, oumo forward, end when qulot
was rostorerl, proceeded to say he wished
to offer ? ?.substitute for the resolution
endorsing Mr. Bryan, declaring, how?
ever, that he felt lilt? Joining In lho
applause which hud marked tho reading
of the majority report. Mo mild ho doubt?
ed tho wisdom of endorsing n man two
years ahead of IiIb nomination. "Lot's
seo If the r?solution which I have pro
pared Isn't tho beat," ho ?did,
"It's got to be a mighty good one
thon,'' called n shirt-sleeved del?gate
from Giles, and the remark set tho con?
vention Into such nn uproar of applauso
that It took the chairman's most earn
?**t pleas to restore order and allow lho
suhBtltute to be read.
It simply endorsed Mr. Brynn'H course,
'and declared that In cano ho should bo
tho parly nominee In inos be iihoulrl re?
ceive tho loyal support of tho Demo?
crats of tho Ninth District! but the con?
vention would have none of It, and lho
majority report was adopted by an ul
mriHt unanimous vote,
The report of the committee on creden?
tial? wns dispensed with, ns there wero
no contested seats In the convention,
ami then R. TnlF Jrvlnu, of Big Stnno
Cap, a favorite in the Ninth District,
proceeded to show beyond question that
ho Is of congressional calibre by nmk
lli? a superb speech, nominating Mr.
Bruce,
By Acclamation.

a short distance from the platform, and
th?-committee got him up beside tho
chairman before tho convention was done
applauding the nomination.
"I present to you, gentlemen of tho
convention, Robort P. Bruce, of WIbo
county," tho next member of Congress
'from tho Ninth District," exclaimed
Judge Rhoa, and the convention pro?
ceeded to manifest enthusiasm In about
all the ways known to such hpdles.
; Mr. Bruce's speech was short and to
the point. Ho declared he entered upon
the fight with the consciousness that he
could 111 afford to do so; that It was at
a sacrifico that he undertook to redeem
tho district.
"I will mako a sacrifice, for you," he
said, "You must make a sacrifice for
me; .and If you do sacrifico the time
necessary to . help elect me, tho victory
shall be as much yours as mine."
Ho concluded by saying that whllo ho
had not served tho pooplo In a wide
sphere, his record as an official and as a
man was without blemish, nu,d ho was
determined to keep It so.
Thoro was nno/her scene of enthusiasm
as be concluded, and a general rush was
mado for tho stage to shake the hand
of the fine young fellow from the moun?
tains of Wise, who is regarded as being
the most popular man In the Ninth Dis?
trict.
The convention was adjourned sino die.
Will Get Slemp's Scalp.
It is too, early to make predictions,
perhaps. I' shall simply repeat that which
hna' been said to me a .hundred times to-'
day by delegates from all over tho dis?
trict. A great many Republicans who
voted for Mr. Slemp two years ago will
vote for Mr. Bruco. A former Republi?
can momber of tho Legislature from
Washington county, whose name, I think,
Is McClung, called on Mr, Bruco to-night
and pledged his support,
Mr. Bruco has served his pooplo ns
Commonwealth's attorney nnd State Bon
ator, winning every time ho has boon or
conducted fight His county nnd district
nnd largely Republican. Ho enters tho
race with tho prestige of tho man who
has had many fights nnd has nevor beon

In my Judgniont will receive, the approval '
of the people In IMS. It Is too early to \
determino thp personnel of the national
ticket for tho presidential election. So
far as tho Republican party Is con
corned, It will, no doubt In convention
assembled perform that duty wisely when
the tj.mo comes and whoever Is chosen
for leadership will surely re?oive tho
hearty support of thosa bellovo in the
policies of tho Republican party, of which
I nm an InimbU member. Theso policies
are vital for tho best Interests and wel?
fare of all tho pooplo. No man would

to be had for seeking."
CANNON TALKS ON

support of her fellow members to her.
proposal to abolish corporal punishment
by. teachers. She voted to make Dr.
Joseph H. Bog?rt president of the board,
and thus smoothed out. the differences
that have heretofore existed between the
members,
Mrs, Maclmy ran down from Lenox to
attend the meeting. She Wade a short
address pleading for the discontinuance,
of whipping, which nearly disrupted the
schools last year. She Insisted that the
parents-were the'only persons fitted to;
punish a ohild..- Dr, Bogart laughingly
assorted that he knew of some urchins
who. deserved tho birch, Mrs., Muckay
retorted that while that might, be so tho
father or mother' of the pupil ought to
Inflict tho punishment; Tho board unan?
imously sustained Mrs. Miickny, and trie
teachers will be instructed not to lay
hands on their charges-ln the future.
Another Innovation was suggested by
Mrs, Maokay and adopted by the board.
She suggested that It would be profitable
to have the teachers and members'-of the
board got together early In .September;'
before the opening of school for the pur?
pose of hiuturil support and the .inter
change of Ideas, She recommended the
establishment of a sort of teachers' In-'
stltute.
After the meeting on o of the director's
related a story whloh'had Just c?mo to
his ears. Ho said that Mrs, Mackay had
demonstrated hor honesty of intention by
tho manner In which she refused to In?
terfere In behalf of tho daughter of one
of her servants. This child ha<i been
.reprimanded by a teacher, and declined
longer to attend tho school. The truant
;at and
?yment,
It bo between two great power? In the
Orlont, or among tho small republics on tho
American continent, is felt throughout tho
world.
The record of tho servant 1b his best
only certHloatc for continued employm
and tho Republican parly, a? a servant of
the people, stands to-day In this campaign
squarely on Its record.
There hus been! much discussion and no
little confusion over.the effort-.to compare
tho relative lnorease .in ,wagca and. cost of
living In the last fow years, The Labor
Bureau of tho United States : In its iaxl
bulletin on this question made a very care?
ful analysis for the fourteen years from
1S0O to 19>>i. In that comparison and analy?
sis It was shown that- tho weekly earnings
ot all employes had Increased G3.4 por cent,
from 1894 to 1004, and that the retail price?
of food products had Increased In tho same
time only 12 per cent. In this, I believe, is
tho only careful and sclentlda investiga?
tion that has been mado on. tho subject.
Our foreign trade has been along the
samo double track; lines, our Imports In?
creasing from JISO.OOO.OOO In 1SS6 to $1.227,
000,000 In IS06, and our ojeports from S8S3,
000,000 In 1806 to 81,744,000,000 In 1908. Tho
total .volume of our forolgn trade In 3886
amounted, to $1,662,000,000, and In 1006 to
53,1170,000,000; add-to that our trade, to. Porto
Rico, Hawaii and tho Philippines, which
amounted to |7fi,000\ 000,-- and w? have-In the
last year a grand total, of I3.OI?,000,0OO as
the amount of business done between tho
people of the United States and the rest
of the world. This Is greater than the
foreign commerce, of any other nation,
Oroat Britain alone excopted, and that be?
cause that nation Imports her food products,
h?r Imports being almost double her exports,
while our exports oxooed our Imports by
halt a billion of dollars.
Tariff Re*-??.ion.
Under tho policy of protection the United
States produces one-third of the manufac?
tured and agricultural products of. tho civ?
ilized world. Our labor receives double the
'compensation that labor, receives in Great
) Britain, and three times the compensation
paid to labor on the continent' of 'Europe.
Ninety-three per cent, of this1 product Is
consumed by our own people, and thu
comparallvejy pma,(l. sWrpluH fthat soca
abroad makes us the greatest exporting
" nation on tho earth. In tho rapid develop?
ment of the country wo not only live bettor
than other people, but from tho savings of
production wo have-become the wealthiest,
nation on earth,
While this unprecedented prosperity has
eoine In loss than a decade of Republican
administration and tho Dlngloy tariff law
bns demonstrated that It is a revenue pro?
ducer, both for the people and the govern?
ment, wo occasionally hoar . tho old wall
that tho tariff Is thu mother of trustR and
tho shelter of monopoly. The tariff revis?
ionists aro, however, onsworlng their own
complaints.
Tariff revision in timo of prosperity al?
ways has, anil always will, halt business
activity, production and commerce Tho
manufacturer will lessen his output, for
ho fears to pilo up his product unless there
is a reasonable certainty of realizing Its
cost and a fair pieiflt. Tho farmer halts
. In ?nnlilng Improvements and consumo? loss,
becauso there, Is a Hhortened demand for his
products. Tho decrease In the wages ot
labor alone, pending revlBlon, will amount
to many hundred million dollars. AVhoro.
there Is confidence and prosperity without
precedent there would be doubt and destruc?
tion of confidence.
I heartily endorse the platform lately
adopted by tho Republican.-!' ot Indlnnu,
which, In substanco, says that the Republi?
can party will revise tho tariff when it will
do mor? good than harm to tho great maas
of poopla.
It Is vital that tho Republican party
should remain in power for (he coming
two years In order that tho legislativo and
executive departments of the government
should continuo In harmony. If our friends,
the enemy, should bo successful In electing
a House of Representatives In November
next, that body in the Sixtieth Congress
would nut bo In harmony with tho Sonate
or with tho President. Thero would be a
"tlo-up," to to speak, In legislation. Furth?
ermore, their success would bo claimed by
our Democratic friends to be an ovldenc? ot
dissatisfaction upon tho pnrt of tho people
with the legislation enacted by the Repub
llcan Congress, as well as an evidence of
dissatisfaction with tho Prosldont, and an
assurance of oomplnto power to bo given
to them In IMS to enablo them to carry
out their policies. Tholr successes, con?
servatively speaking, would halt production
and consumption, and necessarily busi?
ness and commerce, at least one-tenth, In?
stead of forging ahead, as wo are now do?
ing In every producing and business avenue,
we would halt, aye, more, wo would retro?
grade,
' Labor Problem.
In tho contest between employer and
employe from, time to time where differences
could not bo adjiiblo.l, tho employer on tho
one band ha? resorted to tho lock-out,
and the employe on tho other hand to tho
strike. Whllu both are to be deplored,
considering Iho volume of production und
the Increase ot population, tney ?ro becom?
ing 'ess frequent, in nry Judgment, the
tlntu will come when all auch diff?rences
will be sottlf.l amicably between the con?
tending forces; but In all contests om
nloyer and umployo alike must oboy tha
law which governs all nnd protects all.
Th? boycott und tho blacklist will pa??

There luis been much criticism and much
denunciation nguiuvt alleged "government
by Injunction,'1 and violent attacks liav-o
been made upon tha Judiciary of the United

to control their action at the ballot-box.
In tho executive department Of tho gov?
ernment the record ot the party Itos.-boon
brilliant, courageous and huiiom, and the
name of "ttoosovolt" has become a synonym
for all those qualities throughout the realms
of civilization, lie has been the President
of all tho people, and he has been tireless
In.his efforts to serve the people by wise,
Ust and fearless administration of tho
aw, Ho ha? been particularly zealous In
administering tho law against thn truste
and combinations of capital which hnvo
Ignored the old adage of live and lot live.
Tho beef trust, tho paper trust, the tobacco
?trust, the drug trust, tho coal combination,
and various combination? ot rallronds and
shippers have felt the heavy hand ot tho.
law and learned that It Is strong enough to
compel them to give nil a squaro doal. Tho
record of trust prosecution? and ?? investiga?
tions Into their practices Is too long to re?
cite but It la acknowledged to bo most
creditable, oven by oiir political opponents."
The Congress has worked In harmony
with' tho President and cmbodlod Into law

llovo the record of the Fltty-nlnth Congress
modo In Its first session will go into his?

amendment to the agricultural appropria?

reform legislation, tho employers' , liability
law. all enacted at one session of Congress,
make a record of legislation which has
I not been paralleled In many years.
Stand on Record. '"
The amendment to the Interstate commerce
law, known as the Elklns law of 1902, and
tho rate legislation lust enacted, coupled
with many decisions by the'Supreme Court
of tho United Siates, render It reasonably
certain that practices which had grown up
by largo shippers of commodities, demand?
ing and receiving from cobimon carriers
exceptional rates for transportation not en- ?
Joyed by others, will be prohibited by law and
penalized both as to tho railway, or other
common carrier, and the shipper. So that

every other citizen. With equal privileges
to all, thorc Is no reason to doubt that by
