ADAMS AGREED ON
BY THE FUS|ON|STS
His Name Will Head Their
State Ticket.
BUTLERAND HOLT0NF IXIT
Middle Of the Road Ticket For Fool
Populists."
HOW THEY WOULD USE COL. i'm BOYD
Trying to Get Him to Ruin His Chances For
Confirmation by Making an Order in
Regard to the Arrest of the
Regis rars.

RegS rarS.
Holton, the Republican State chair
man.. was in the city yesterday. He
spent the day with Senator Butler,
and they discussed the Fusion State
ticket, which is about to be printed
what names shall appear on it for
the various offices.
Then they took dinner together at
the Marlborough, with Little Claudle
Bernard on the side. They discussed
the tickst some more till train time,
then Butler called a carriage and
took Holton to the depot. Little
Claudio went too, of course. There
was no getting rid of him.
After that Butler went up and talk
ed with Gov. Russell and Col. Ike
Meekins for an hour, telling them how
he wasn't going to win, but that he
and Holton thought about the best
thing they could do would be to print
the ticket with Spencer Adams on 1T
for Governor, Worth for Treasurer,
Thompson for Secretary of State, Aver
for Auditor, Walser for Attorney Gen
eraI and DR.. Alexander for Commits
sioner of Agriculture.
1t is certain now that there will be
only one real ticket out and all Popu-
lists and Republicans alike will be
urged to vote it. That ticket will be
headed by Spencer b. Adams. They
also discussed the advisability of put
ting out few tickets with only Pop
Mist nominees on it, for fool Popuhsts
who don't want to take any Republi-
can in their'n." I'll was urged that this
can in their'n." 1t was urged that this
would keep them from voting the
Democratic ticket. No decision on
this was reached, the matter being left
in Senator Buffers hands to do as he
thought best.
The advocates of Negro Rule are
much exercised over the turn affairs
are taking.
They are startled, astounded at the
growth of amendment sentiment dur
ing the past week, and the final out
come of the arrest of the two Winston
registrars is especially irritating to
1.-The arrest of the registrars would
have had just the effect we DESIRED
said prominent Republican yester-
day who has been here in conference
with Butler and holton, had not the
men who had them arrested been
themselves Ill UuEI dIIeSlcu. w uCh
that was done, of course the effect of
the registrars arrest was neutraliZed.'
How could the arrest of the regis
trars help you?" was asked.
ut would make them let our people
get their names on the book SO they
can vote"
"DO you expect any more arrests?
'Yes, 1 expect arrests this week in
almost every county in the State, if
only we can get it fixed so that the
man who has the arrest made will not
himself be arrested, as those were at
Winston. Unless we can get that
done there will be no more arrests"
How can it be done?'
81 know of only one way-have
Boyd, who has just been appointed
Federal judge, to issue an order de
claring those in contempt of court
who arrest or otherwise intimidate
witness in one of these cases"
''Will Boyd do this?"
81 don't know, but / understand he
will He has qualified as judge and is
now in Greensboro. He will be asked
to make such an order"
And to discuss this proposed order
with Butler, as well as the State
ticket, was part of Holton's business
here yesterday. But Boyd will hard
w be fool enough to make such an or
der. Mr.. Boyd knows he's not con-
firmed vet. He remembers Ewart-the
''main" question with him. He's not
going to take any chances by sticking
his head in the lire.
The Kinston Free Press predicts a ma
jority bf from $4,000 to 100000 for the
Amendment in North Carolina. 1t figures
the majority in Lenoir county at 500.
