NO DOODLE, NO WORK.
HOW THE RADICAL CROSSES,
FAILED TO CARRY OUT SOME
CAMPAIGN SCHEMES.

CAMPAIGN SCHEMES.
They are Radicals for Office or Doodle
Only--and if They Don't Get One.-
They Won't Work.
Several of the Radical "bossesr and
their retainers have been noticed in the
city this week among them Reliable
Eaves, DR.. j. j. Mott, Professor Nc
IVer, A. E. Holto1, chairman of the "cra,
zy quilt" convention and others.
1t has transpired that their business
here was TO take steps of some kind for
running something like a systematic
State campaign, but from all that can be
learned they failed TO accomplish that
business.
The fact is the Radical" bosses have
been completely at sea since they failed
to re-elec5 Logan Harris secretary of the
State Republican executive committee
last September.
1t will be remembered that Eaves and
Harris had a personal difficulty here
over the matter of calling the State con-
vention of Radicals. They professed to
make up and forget everything, but
Eaves resolved that, if he could prevent
it, Harris shouldn't be secretary any
more.
The convention met, and the revenuers
held the balance of power as to delegates
Eaves was the Boss revenuer, and
things went pretty much as he said they
must 60, and he was reelected chair
man, but Harris wasn't reelected secre-
tary. Somebody said that Harris had
been shelved,' but 1t transpires that
Harris did his own shelving He didn't
ask to be reelected Secretary. In fact
he kept out of the way and let the "Rev-
enue bosses" do their work as they
pleased.
This week the bosses found they could nj
do anything at all without Harris. They
| made Overtures to him, and actually went
so far as to ask him if he wouldn't as
sumo the responsibility and work of get
ting up and sending out the RadicaI
tickets for the coming election This
request was made by Eaves.
Harris simply told him that if ht
| (Eaves) s)would furnish the funds to pay
for the tickets and also the funds to pa,
for the work of sending them out, tha
he (HarriS) was ready to do the work.
Previous to this Eaves had written tt
Harris asking him for certain informa
ton which was absolutely necessary tt
carry out certain projects. Harris re
piled that since his connection with tn,
executive committee had ceased, be hat
not given any attention to collecting tha
kind of information.
Other requests were made of Harris
but he remained obdurate, and the re
suit is collapse of such schemes a
Eaves hoped to carry out.
Harris has been appealed to hel
thWart some plans which are reporte
to have been made in some of the east
ern counties. For instance Halifax is
county which the Radicals clair
by considerable majority. 1t ha
been reported here that somethin
like combination has been made dow
there by which the Radicals are to hav
the office of the clerk of the superio
court, and the Office Of register of deeds
and the Democrats are to have all tn
other county offices and the whole legi>
lative ticket. something similar is re
ported from Northampton.
There Is negro here named Pope /
the Revenue service from Northampton
and he wanted TO go down there to IL
vestigate these rumors. He applied I
Chairman Eaves for little roll of th
''campaign fund" to pay his expenses o
this Radical mission. Eayes told hii
he didn't have any money and sent tt
negro to Collector White Mr.. Whit
wouldn't ''pony up" because, he sait
the "crazy quilt" convention had CO
him about three hundred dollars, an
, that was about as much as he coul
stand; but Mr.. White advised the negl
, to apply to Mr.. Harris. Harris told hi
p, that if he wanted to go, he could eth
S walk there or pay his own way. If
: didn't do one or the other he would ha
2 20 stay here and let the whole busine
! 60 to thunder.
So it seems that the old doodle" par
a is not boodling much this year.
The National Republican commit
doesn't care snap for this State exec
}. in Presidential campaigns, and no mon
II is coming from that source; and sin
\ there is no money, there can be
S "boodle y work, and the "boss " Ra
e Gals in this State are Radicals for off
e and doodle " only. If they don't s
It one or the other they wont work. Ma
e of them will now probably stand arou
ii and try to hatch up some scheme
o which they can get grab at the
: doodle" which will come down here
the next Presidential campaign.
ar SHE COULDN'T STAND 1T,
