Special to The Caucasian.
Washington, d. c., May q, 1907
The presidential situation, as seen
from the national political center, is
rapidly taking shape. The plans of
the ''reactionaries,' have not slacken-
ed, but are indeed extending and
deepening. The people are however
now more alert than ever before IN
the history Of this government. This
means that the deep laid schemes of
concentrated monopolies will not sue
ceed. The great battle for equal
rights and "square deal" is the
greatest since the struggle for Ameri-
can independence and liberty in 1776.
There are short sighted, selfish and
unpatriotic Tories now, just as then.

New Orleans, Special. Former
President Manuel Bonilla, of Hondu-
ras, said in an interview here that
he intends to 90 into business in De
lize, British Honduras. He expects
to become general broker for trop-
ieal forest products and also will run
a plantation Of his own. Ar. Bonilla
was slightly indisposed upon his ar
rival here today.

The Situation in North Carolina.

The situation in the Old North State
is not very different from what it is
in many other States, though the op-
position has different methods for diff
ferent parts of the country. In that
State, Republican Chairman Adams,
who has been lodging and hedging
for more than two months has just
been forced to declare Though in q
halting way) for President Roosevelt.
But he is still lodging as to whom he
will support for second choice and
whom he will also favor for Vice
President-a matter of no small ina
portance.
In that while the battle of Moore s
Greek has been fought and won, the
battles Of Kings Mountain and Gull
ford Court House are yet to be Won
before the people will be sure of an
other Yorktown victory at the next
national convention.

The Forced Tribute TO Roosevelt
Growing Popularity.

But in spite of all these great and
most formidable influences exerted
daily against the President on ac-
count of his independence and pat
riotic Americanism, the opposition
forces realize that bis popularity Is
srowiAg steadily each day. This has
forced them recently to hunt Q new
dodge to try to fool the peopls-What
is it7
Simply this, that every "reaction-
arYn candidate is now being pro-
claimed as a friend of the President,
and as just the right man to carry ou:
his policies as president. There have

Roosevelt First and Taft Next.

It is noticeable that nearly every
Republican from that State, who has
been here for the past week, has un-
hesitatingly declared in favor Of
rendering at the next convention a
second nomination to President
Roosevelt and that if he should then
decline, to nonrir1ste Seeratary Taft
for president.
There is also some talk of Gov.
Hughes of New York for Vice Presi-
dent, if Taft shall head the ticket.
The real friends of the policies of the
Roosevelt administration are all alert
to the Importance Of nominating this
time man for vice president who
stands for the same principles as the
head Of the ticket.

Some of the Schemes Of the Con-
spiracy.

1t is now generally believed that a
part Of the $5,000,000 conspiracy
fund. raised as the first installment
has been used to magnify the Browns
vile riot, If not also used to pervert
the truth about the matter. They
want to try to put the President in
the wrong and also to line up the
negro delegates against his admins
tration. 1t is noticeable that the
same man has been selected to make
that fight who was selected to lead
the fight against the railroad rate
bill. But it fooled no one, not even
the negroes, except those who want
to be fooled.
There is also evidence of an effort
to capture and control nearly every
meeting of any kind so as to get reso-
lutions passed not complimentary, at
least so action will not be taken
fayorably to the policies Of the pres
ent administration. Also. Of course,
