mman Rollins, b. Frank Mebane, the
Butler influence, the State Organiza-
ton: and Frazier had cast
the die on Congressman Blackburn
and the endorsement of eighteen of
the tWenty-four of the county Hepub-
lican executive committee, OF which
Douglas is chairman.
But in Mr.. Douglas behalf il
should be remembered that he had
not made any effort at all to get rec
concentrations. depending solely on
the assurance that he was slated
by Chairman Rollins and would be
the next official without any hustling.
one thing that is giving trouble is
the realization that if Blackburn keeps
on, not only third termers in every |
office will have to go. but that when |
the state Republican Convention
meets this year, he and Grant Will
succeed in capturing the state organ
ization machinery from Rollins, Butler |
and Duncan. Tar Heel Weekly fu-
lures went up forty points last night,
and this morning when the news came
that President Roosevelt himself had
sent in the names to Frazier and
Grant, futures on Holton, Price and
Millican dropped one hundred and |
eleven points. consequent upon the /
uncertainty as to what Price. the Con-
gresham, had demanded for not be-
ing an insurgent on the statehood vote
yesterday.
The rumor that Rollins and Black J
burn made a deal. and Rollins. for the
sake of the district attorneyship. prov
ed a traitor to his supporters here, is
not edited by them. unless fOrther |
developments verify it.
