made by Senator Charles ". FAIRBANKS ~,
4 OF Indiana, that he Is buying up or estaD-y
fishing a chain of Southern Republica
newspapers to help him In the fight for
delegat ties In the National Republican Con-
Sventlon next year, creates little orggno
interest here. Mr.EFairbnnks' declaration
4 OF his candidacy was almost public It
has passed the stage where he IS In
the hands OF his friends" He wishes to
succeed Mr.. Roosevelt, and he Is going
TO try to do 30. He has gotten one or
more North Carolina papers. and he has
