Connecticut For Taft.


Washington Post.
"Of all the candidates for the
Presidency, Secretary Taft is by far
the strongest in Connecticut, and if
the convention were held today
feel certain he would receive the
support of the State delegation
said Gov. Rollin 8. Woodruff, of
Connecticut, at the Raleigh yester-
day.
"He is recognized as a man who
is thoroughly capable Of filling the
position of Chief Magistrate, as
shown by the splendid record he has
made in national affairs while Judge,
governor of the Philippines, and
Secretary of War. The fact that
President Roosevelt considers him a
proper man to carry out his admin
istrative policies does not by any
means count against him. In Con-
necticut the people think it is only
natural that the President should
have a preference, because he knows
the work to be done and the kind
of man who can best perform that
work.
"In my opinion, the contest is
between Taft and Hughes. So far
as know, the other candidates have
not shown any appreciate strength
in our part of the country. Botn
are strong, clean, able men, but Taft
is stronger, probably, because his
experience has been in national af.
fairs, while that of Gov. Hughes
has been confined to the borders OF
his State, and, until the past year,
to the city of New York;

RoosEvELT's REAL AND FALSE FRIENDS

During the past week one Con-
gressional District in Virginia and
three Congressional Districts in Mis-
souri, has declared for Taft for
President.
The overwhelming sentiment of
the country is for Roosevelt, but
whenever the idea gets fixed that
the President will not accept another
term, then the sincere admirers of
the President declare for Taft.
But some of those who are today
yelling loudest for Roosevelt for ''a
third term" las that class of fellows
call itl are doing so as blind. They
are In deal with the trust combine
against the President, and are work.
ing to nominate for President a man
opposed to Roosevelt's policies.
They are yelling for Roosevelt to
cover their tracks and to fool the PEG.
pie into electing them as delegates.
Therefore the people must be on
their guard, not elect any man a
delegate unless he is pledged not
only to Roosevelt but also pledged
to second choice. In short, elect
only men OF high character and pa
triotism-men who put principle
above oficeholding. Don't elect a
member Of patronage machine.

JUDGE fuecHEs FOR PARTY GROWTH.

JUDGE FURcHEs FOR PARTY GROWTH.
We have received from one Of the
most substantial citizens of Iredell
County q letter from which we make
the following extract:
al sent you a copy Of an open let
ter which Judge ID. NJ. Furches re-
Gently had published. If you pub
lished 1t at the time l overlooked 1t.
am sorry to note the small num-
Der of papers that copied and pub
lished this letter. i am especially
surprised that the Daily Industrial
News at Greensboro did not publish
1t. I cannot understand how any
Republican who believes In the prin-
ciples Of his party can fail to en-
dorse the letter as q whole, If not
every word contained therein.
"Judge Furches, in this letter,
protests against the action of Chair
man Adams In trying to read men
out Of the party, and points the way
he desires to build up the party.
"In short, the spirit of the letter,
from beginning to end, outlines the
policy and describes the kind Of
State Chairman that the party needs
to lead it to victory. If the party
had for State Chairman man hold
Ing the views expressed by Judge
Furches, then not only would the
recruits which the party has already
received be welcomed, but policy
would be pursued that would en-
courage more recruits to come.
81 was raised e Democrat, left it
to join the Peoples party, just as
Senator Butler has; but Judge
Adams mas, to my great surprise,
attempted to read him out of the
party. If the State Chairman does
not want Senator Butler in the Re-
publican party, then he does not
want me in the party, or any man
like me.
81 cannot believe that the ma
jority of the Republicans of the
State endorse Chairman Adams
course; indeed, 1 believe that nine
tenths of the party feels like Judge
Furches. I would like to see Judge
Furches' letter read by every Re
publican In the State, and then see
what their verdict would be-"
The letter of Judge eFurches, re-
ferred to by our subscriber, is pub
Hshed in full in another column of
THE CAUCASIAN. We invite the
attention of our readers to its con-
tents. We desire also to say that
we endorse the very sentiments
therein contained, and also the views
expressed by our subscriber, quoted
above. If majority, and large
majority of thd Republicans of the
State, do not endorse the position
taken by Judge Furches, then the
quicker it is known the better.
However, we have no doubt on this
point. We agree with our subscri.
Der, in the letter quoted above, that
every patriotic Republican in the
State endorses the position taken by
Judge Furches, and that they will
do their duty to their party by max.
ing that sentiment known and felt
One thing is certain, the party
cannot be built up by reading men
out, and another thing is certain,
and that is that recruits can only be
brought to the party by following
the policy outlined so clearly by
Judge Furches. The sentiments con.
tanned in the Judges letter are
highly patriotic and most timely.

Lightning Flashes.

Lightning flashes in a storm are
found by an English observer to be
much less irregular in period than
they appear. Such storms have usually
two foci, sometimes three, from which
the flashes radiate, and the discharges
from each come at regular intervals.
The apparent irregularity is due to the
varying rates of the different centers.
In one storm noticed the two foci were
about a mile and a half apart, and in
an hour the northern center emitted
thirty flashes at intervals of fifteen.
thirty. forty-f1ve, sixty and ninety sec.
onds, and the southern center gave
sixteen flashes at intervals of seven
teen. ti,irtyfour and fifty-one seconds
Another unexplained observation is
that just before each great fash there
is momentary faint lighting up of the
sky in the stormy region.
