The Democratic municipal conven
tion was not willing to inject foreign
issues into the local campaign. Tin
Democrats can well afford, however,
to stand by the record of the party
in the legislature. The right of lie
people to vote on prohibition was
not denied by the Democrats, who
voted for submission, but by Repub
lican votes. Will the Republican
party of Uiueflchi stand by tin* rec
ord of its party? Does the Tele
graph endorse the vote of its sena
tor, Mr. Baker? Or the vote of its
delegate, Mr. Dillard? Well see
what we’ll see tomorrow.
Nothing is plainer than that the
Republican ring has shown to*
white feather. Contrary to custom
with the party in power it lias pm
Its convention ff until the last day
upon which tl e convention coul.1 be
held to get the names on the ticket
The custom is universal for the par
ty in power to bold Its convention
first. The ring dreads the issue an 1
desired to wait until after the Dem
ocratic convention in order that it
might inject some boomerang into
the campaign to becloud the quos
tions at issue.
Wouldn’t It look much like S*.,ui
rebuking sin If the Republican ring
should declare itself in favor of the
recent proposed amendment to • h<
constitution providing for the sub
mission of the question of prohibi
ts to the vote of the people of the
state, after its own party voted this
question down in the legislature, and
when the convention held at Bram
well would not declare itself in fa
vor or the amendment. It would he
funny indeed if the gang which Is
willing to license "hot-footin' ” es
tablishments and Raleigh street
dives should now attempt to hide
themselves under the boomerang ol
a constitutional amendment in the
local campaign when the question is
a state issue.
The same gang who are running
affairs in Bluefleld attended tin* con
vention to name state delegates at
Bramwell, but they did not favor a
constitutional amendment there,
where the question might properly
have been dealt with. Will they turn
turtle on this as on other questions?
Dnable to announce his own views
Hugh Ike Shott continues to criti
cise (he action of the Democratic
Good Government convention upon
declining to draw state or national
issues Into the local campaign The
Telegraph does not know exactly
upon which side of fhrt f< nee it will
fall. Inasmuch as It mud wait for
the ring to declare Itself and then
must think with the ring, because if
It should perchance think before
hand it might afterward have an
other think coming to It.
Our contemporary makes the fol
lowing lame criticism in yesterday’s
"If they t*he Democrats I
arc* able- to poll enough votes on
May 5 they will no doubt grant li
censes another year hence and pc>r
slbiy hold some up.” In It* desper
ation the Telegraph not only at
tempt* a criticism upon a subject
which it refuse to define Itself un
til after the mot ley convention
tt'hich will he hefd tomorrow, but
abo attempts to criticise the ticket
for what If predicts if will do
Our contemporary evidently mis
understood the communication to
which if attempted a reply on yes
terday. or attempts to evade the
fine :tIon. The eommunlrallon to
which It refers merely criticised the
T<- egraph for it* failure to report
the resolutions of the Democratic
Oood Government convention in de
nouncing the untcusines -like meth
ods of the city council jn first re
fusing and afterward granting Ilcyior
license* to certain parties, and de.
dared such methods were not above
suspicion, and also denounced th®
licensing of the negro dive* on Hal
eigh street. I’pon this subject our
contemporary was as silent as i!,e
tomb.
The Telegraph also Hies off at a
tangent anti .says that it did report
the proceedings of the council meet
ing. This has not been controvert-* I.
It also attempts to show that be
cause we gave an account of the
proceedings of the council meeting
that we copied from them. If w»*
bad relied upon the Telegraph fir
a report of the proceedings of the
last meeting we would not have told
our readers anything about the
caustic criticism of Judge Joseph M
Sand* rs. an episode which the Tele
graph would like very much to sup
ureas. We can easily observe the
common custom of the Telegraph to
rehash our telegrams and news
items, and our contemporary not in
frequently pays The Leader th<* com
pliment of copying almost verbatim
items which tlrst appear in ou- col
u mini.
‘‘Kvcry mau to Ills trade" is an
■111 adage and Is familiar to nearly
• ■ I of us. It is brief In Its wording
;:it conveys a great deal In its mean
ng. It Is merely a terse way of
lying that a man who makes a spo
ialty of any one thing knows more
about, and Is more proficient In his
particular specialty than any one
■Iso could be. It la for this reason
hat we all seek a specialist when
ve have any serious physical all
ni'iit. It Is for the same reason that
1 In* Itydale Remedy Co. went to one
>f the best specialists In the United
-Mates on liver and Intestinal trou
bles, a professor in a Columbus, o.,
Medical College, and secured from
him a prescription from which Ry
i.iles Liver Tablets are made.
This specialist knew more about llv
•r troubles than a doctor who treats
ill diseases, and that Is why Ry

more quickly all liver troubles than

Mr. Editor:
If you want to read about the
flimsiest, most vacillating editorial
that has ever gone into print Urn
: > the Daily Telegraph datad vi»rl 1
12. If you will kindly take my ar
ticle appearing In The Leader of
April 11 and the editorial above re
ferred to in the Telegraph you will
very clearly that the prophet is
continuing to do exactly what I slat
°d he was doing—namely, distorting
facts, evadiug Issues and placing Im
proper constructions upon clear,
concise statements, lie would have
vou believe that because I signed my
name “H" | am trying to hide. To
hide from what?
He evades further and states that
il ’ might mean anything. He is
mistaken. i am willing for it to
stand for most anything—Heaven.
. Honey or Hooligan, but not
for Hughey.
I again ask of him the same ques
ion I asked before and if he is the
mighty prophet he would have you
believe he is he will answer like a
man and not evade like a fencing
master. Why did you In your critl
tsm of the resolutions of the Demo
cratic Good Government convention
i:l even to touch upon the reference
they made to the failure at first to
i<rant license to certain applicants
and later the granting of them?
Answer now like a man or else state
'hat you are ashamed to answer, f
•mtend that you must certainly
know, for you are the recognized
eader of your party.
As stated previously your faction
is simply doing now what it has
! done for several years past- namely,
playing two games, or better, per
haps, a game and a blind—trying
to fool the churchmen—trying to use
them as a rock on which to split
'lie vote of those in both parties
; who desire a clean city admlnlstra
; 'ion ** y°u had not worked your
i Same so often—If you j)ar, not
I played the people false—they might
: fft11 ,nto y°ur designing trap. Rut
! be not deceived—they know 'he
trappers too well.

KltS.
New York. April 13.—William J.
Bryan will not attend the Jefferson
day dinner of the National Demo
cratic Club, to be. held at the Knick
erbocker Hotel tonight, according to
latest reports. In view of the wide
spread discussion as to whether the
invitation was to make a speet h or
merely to get a meal Mr. Bryan has J
announced that It would be embar
rassing both to the club members
and himself to be present In either
capacity.
The Nebraskan ts spending the
day In Trenton. N. J., and will b'
given a reception by Governor Port, i
who has been prominently men
tioned as Taft’s running mate. New
Jersey Democrats are divided in
th**ir allegiance to tho Commoner
and a portion of them will attempt
to make his visit as inconspicuous
as possible, while other Democratic
leaders are determined 10 bring
about a contrary effect.
The following is the list or puoak
ers at tonight’s banquet In New v0rl:
Woodrow Wilson, president of the
PPrinceton University; Robert 1,. i

Tennessee; Robert 1,. Owen Unite 1
States senator from Oklahoma; F.
M. Simmons, United States senat )r i
from North Carolina, and Kdwar.t
M. Sheppard, of New York City.
Our grandmothers used to get a
lot of old nails, place them in a ves
sel containing vinegar and allow
them to remain until the acetic acid j
in the vinegar produced an iron so
lution. This concoction was then
taken by nearly every member of
the family during the spring and !
fall and It rarely ever failed to
strengthen and beneilt the person
taking it. The old way was good j
but there is a new way that is far
better. Science has discovered a |
way to manufacture iron so that it'
can be dissolved in syrups and elixirs
and given in de.flnite doses. One of
the best and surest ways to take
iron is in Itydale's Tonic. This
remedy is a combination or Iron,
Quinine and Strychnine in an
Orange Elixir and combined with
other ingredients that make it very
valuable as a blood and ne.rve tonic.
It is without an equal for old peo
ple needing a ‘stimulant and for
weak and puny children and a sure
cure for chills and malaria. The
