BLACKBURN LOSES
IN CAROLINA FIGHT
Delegates Ignore Taft's Ad-
dice and Convention in
Uproar.
ONE MAN PULLED GUN
Adams Regime Still Holds Control of
Federal Offices Of the
State.

GREENSBORO. y. G. July I-NOrth
Carolina Republicans listened 10 Secre-
tary Taft's exhortations not TO quarrel
over the Offices. and then entered upon
the most turbulent tight over the con-
troll OF the organization that the State
has seen since carpetbagging days. The
Blackburn element. which was expect
ed 10 be strengthened by the Taft ap-
peal. was defeated in the convention.
The old Federal once-holding clique ran
the convention, and the era Of higher
ideals had 10 be postponed indefinitely.
Representative Blackburn led the fiRht
for the Taft policy OF making principles.
not postohices, the first concern OF the
party. The plea Of Secretary Taft was
supplemented by letter from National
Chairman Cortelyou, likewise counseling
harmony, conciliauon, and higher ideals;
but when State Chairman Adams. leader
Of the Federal organization. read this
letter TO the convention he was hOwled
and ieered at until the effect was hope
lcssly lost. II was plain that the con
vcntion didn't want advice half so much
as q wanted control.

Fight Over Seats.

The crux Of the struggle was In five
counties from which delegations were
contested. The committee on credentials
proposed seating the organization dele
gates. but there was a deal Of mystery
about who appointed this committee,
and by what authority IL acted. The
chairman Of the Eighth district caucus
didn't even know who named the mem
ber Of the credentials committee for his
district. and was impressed that the
delegates from that district ought TO
have a voice IN the selection Of their
committeeman. The State chairman re-
piled with dignity that reputable Re
pubiCans" had been consulted in nam
ing the credentials committeeman. and
that was all the satisfaction the Black
burn followers could get.
Then Thomas Settle, moor manager for
the Blackburnltes, moved an amendment
10 compromise 81 by seating both delega-
lions in each contested county and Civ
ing them half votes. This was the test
OF strength II the Blackburn people
had been able 10 carry this motion they
would have been in control of the con-
vention Chairman Adams was not go
ing 10 entertain the motion. and a riot
came near being precipitated- Mr. Settle
begged for fair treatment. and urged
that his motion was in order Tie dis
CussiOn on chis subject lasted a good
share OF the session. and Chairman

The lessons which Christ teaches us
by means of the children are the les

too often apt to be ignored. He is
ever setting the child in the midst, and
all Christians must learn the lessons.
The child symbolizes all men in their
relation to the Heavenly Father. The
child symbolizes all that are poor
weak, neglected, lowly, in relation to
the church. The church will succeed
in its work for the kingdom of Heaven
only so far as ii regards the child and
all whom the child symbolizes, as
Christ himself regards them.
