In this connection there Is a bit OF po-
Htical gossip that has something TO do
with the situation. As said above. an
effort is being made 10 conform the situa-
ton in North Carolina to that in other
states. Marion Butler is a senator from
North Carolina. He is also chairman Of
the national POpulist committee In view
Of the proposed acknowledgements he is
said to he thinking Of rcsisning a chair
man IF the national Populist committed
and becoming chairman of the Populist
state central committee in his state
Then he proposes to Join hands with the
Republicans in violent opposition 70 the
disfranchisement of some IS per cent o.:
the states voting population.
Congressman Roberts has not made
favorable impression before the special
committee TO which his case was REFER
ed. He has not offered witnesses in his
own behalf and has oontented himself
with a technical cross-examination OF
those who have testified against him. II
circumstantial evidence Is accepted. di-
rect proot-not being procurabIe. the com
mi;tee Will have no trouble in deciding
against Mr. Roberts. The preliminary
reference when his credentials were pre-
scented We're 81 overwhelming that when
the matter S again referred IN the house
il seems certain he viii be rejected.
