Philip Werlein, president of the
New Orleans Progressive Union and
one of the ablest young citizens and
most succesdFul business men of that
city, recently returned from a northern
trip and expressed the opinion that the
absolute confidence felt throughout the
north and west in the election of Judge
Taft has been the principal factor in
bringing about a revival of business
that presages general advancement
and prosperity. Mr. Werlein is not a
Republican, be It understood, but a
zealous Democrat whose name has
been favorably mentioned in connection
with the maytralty of his native city
and other positions of political and 1
civic prominence. If some of our peo

Col. Bryan stands a good chance of d
being elected president would travel
about a bit with their eyes and ears
open, as men like Mr. Werlein do,
they would be very apt to share his
belief that Republican success in No
vember is assured.
Level-Headed Democrats Indorsed.
Mr. F. R. Tanneret, chairman of the
