HE HASN'T LOST HIS HEAD,
Hat Republican Chairnan Carter Says He
10 Very SanEuIne.

No rsinbow.tinted% prophecies. such as usually
follow close on the visit OF distinguished poll
tdoians to Chairman Thomas Henry Carter at
Republican National Headquarters. have re-
suited from the visit OF Secretary Of War
Stephen B. Elkins yesterday. Secretary Ell
kins has been in West Virginia recently d.
recting the Republican campaign in that State.
What he thought Of the prospects for Republic
can SUCCESS he would not say. and Chairman
Carter maintained silence on the subject. FL
kins 10 said to be responsible for tho large
increase Of the negro population Of West Vir-
ginia through colonization Of men employed
in railroad building.
One reason assigned for Secretary Elkins's
disinclination to talk was that he had been
disaRreeably impressed by his visit because
Chairman Carter had taken occasion to warn
linn that he must hereafter refrain from inter-
ference In New York State politics. as Thomas
c.. Plat and his friends will run things in the
Empire State. Similar notice has been served
on Secretary OF the Navy Tracy.
As II to make excuse for Secretary Elklns's
failure to answer the statements Of Senator
Faulkner and other Of the Democratic mana
gers In West Virginia. Chairman Carter SUBJ
mitted to an interview himself in which he
said that he thought everybody but the
Democrats is satisfied with the work his com
mittee has done. Regarding the South. con-
corning which Mr.. Elkins was so silent. Mr..
Carter said: I'VE have had most encouraging
reports. but have not lost our heads. What
ever may be done by US there. will be carefully
considered and will be for the party's best
interest"
The Chairman acknowledged that the situa-
ton In some OF the Western States looked
squally for the Republicans o few months ago.
