Republicans do not consider serious
ly the candidacy of Secretary Taft, for
the presidential nomination in 1908,
said International Revenue Commits
siorer Capens to-day.
"The Republicans OF the South are
for Mr.. Roosevelt and will insist on
his nomination next year"

Change of Heart. "
In view of the recent activity of the
secretary of war. and the known fact
Of his candidacy for the nomination,
This statement from Southern Re
publication is interesting. 1t may be
said in passing that politicians gen.
orally who give an ear to talk, knows
that Commissioner CapenS, who is in
from South Carolina, was dabbldng In
Fairbanks stock when summoned TO
Washington to take the position he
now occupies. Some say he was given
the job notably to divert the atten-
ton from the Indianian. now he is
a THIRD termer, out and out, and not
only says that Southern men of his
party will have nobody but Roosevelt
at the head of the next national ticket
but adds that they are prepared to
do something about il"
Caper's Scheme.
Mr.. Capers does not say just how
he proposes to so about compelling
President Roosevelt to aecept the
nomination next time. hut he does say
that the people of his and other sec
Sions can bring enough Influence to
bear to persuade the president that
they and not MIR. Roosevelt should be
permitted to act as judge in this mat
ter.
The commissioner is also quoted as
saying that party men of the South
Will not believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
cannot finally be prevailed upon to &C
cept the nomination. While he did
not say that the people do not want
Fairbanks, yet the strong Roosevelt
sentiment would seem to indicate that
the Indtanian is pretty nearly in the
class of Mr.. Taft so far as the South
is concerned. If Mr. Roosevelt shall
refuse absolutely TO under any cir
cumstances head the Republican
ticket in 1908, certainly some other
than Taft will receive the endorse
ment OF the Southerners of that per-
SuaSfOn.

greatest combinations Of ball-players
ever seen In Richmond. It Is the team
Of 1898 Of the Atlantic League, when

Richmond had taken the championship
from Lancaster. the victorious team Of
the previous year. Elberneld, whom

sold to Philadelphia. and Stimmell had
been succeeded by Lever. Neither OF
