Washington, ID. G., Oct 1.-The
Old limo Republicans represented 10y
D"aS, Scrlven, ot al seems to huve
cotton cold comfort here. Both Of
these n"mod nbovo paid visit to
tho White House yesterday. They
decline to say how much or littla
thcy wero promiscd but it has leaked
out horo tonight that thoir visit was
far from satisfactory. There is Il
popular song hero cullcd "Go way
back and sit down." SO far as can
slzo up the situation this ncnmed to
express it bo,tor than Il column and
" half could Of tho many things which
have happ"nod that might be givon
"s evidences Of the situation.
Thor" WAS certainly something
ovluently worry amusing about Deus
visit to President Roosevelt, but as
he had only one companion it is i'm.
possible to find ont what it WAS.
Somehody has been near enough to
say that the President Thought he
was an applicant for coachman. Tho
whole delegation are crest fallen and
broken, and their facrs say very
plainly. "No Negro Need Apply"
This cutting loose from tho ne
grocs and bum politicians Of the
South brings to mind II remarkable
| phase OF national politics. For tho
| past ten " fifteen years tho negro
vote in tho South has in almost every
kepubllcan nominating convention,
furnished tha p,w"r TO secure the
nomination and yet in overy election
except tho last one not ono single voto
has been given to the Republican
candidate in tho electoral college,.
In thrco Demo rattle nominations
the Southern vote has not counted
FOR much and y"t in the general olec
tons tho South has furniscd Il largo
proportion and in the last election
all Of tho votes in tho electoral col
lcge
1t now looks M if tho negro us a
! factor in the Republican pnrty il
gone, certainly 10 far rs the South ~
concerned.

The successor Of Wchstcr rs Ma

between him and C"pcrs.
There is no reason TO change tho
opinion that Capers is the coming
man.

Tho postol1ic" department is one
of the sIrictest business organiza

hard to get them to condone even n
technical violation of tho law.
