flee to Aid or Impede the Candi-
dacy of Any Aspirant to Be With
ont Foundation in Fact.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. S-Harry 6.
New chairman Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, appointed TO succeed
George B. Cortelyou. said tonight that
ne saw no occasion for calling a special
meeting Of the committee.
Mr.. New was asked what he thought Of
the attitude of Senator Hepburn. who
was quoted as declaring that aemeeting
of the committee should be held. and that
q chairman should be elected by the vote
of the committee
Il feel that Mr.. Hepburn must have
been misquoted," said AIr New. "or. il
ne was not. he is surely under a misap-
prehension regarding the committee
craftsmanship"
Speaking OF his appointment rs vice
chairman. Mr.. New said.
I did not ask for it, but appreciated
It then, as ! do now. At the time Il was
made Mr. COrtelyOu intended 10 resign
also immediately. but succeeding, comnIf-
cations caused him to defer uoing so. It
has always been my conviction that the
function OF a political committee is 10
elect the candidates Of the party il
SERVES, not To make them. that being the
duty Of the convention, the delegates to
which are duly elected for that special
purpose.
My attitude or that subject was made
known 90 the chairman at that time. and
had his cordial approval then, as I believe
1t has now. The assumption. therefore.
that my being left at this time in the
position of ranking officer Of the commit
tee IS a shrewd political move or that il
is intended 10 assist or impede the candi-
dacy of any aspiraut for the Presidency
IS wholly gratuitous and utterly without
any foundation whatever in fact

NO RIGHT TO TAKE MONEY.

suit Against North Carolina.

Pierre, s Oak, Jan. S-Rctiriug
Gov. s II. EIod. of South Dakota. de-
nounccd in emphatic terms the deal by
which the State came into possession of
about S2v.000 through a suit against
the State OF North Carolina on bonds
issued by that State during the carpet
bag regime. South Dakota, Gov. Elod
said, had no right 20 take the money.
and the State University. to which it
was given, should not have touched il.
Il recommend said the governor,
that the legislature pass an act secur-
ing an appropriation to return the
money to-thc State of North Carolina.
We took il away from our sister State
North Carolina, simply because the law
said we could. Might did not make
right in this instance. II the State of
South Dakota returns the said sum 10
the State of North Carolina. il VIII do

than anything that has happened since

Is the retiring governor said, it is
evident that schemers are using the
State for private ends. The case of
South Dakota vs.. North Carolina is the
first Of many similar suits TO be
brought to compel the several States
of the South that fioated wildcat bonds
during carpet-bag times and since re-
pudiated, TO pay them with interest.

SeTgt McAUley, made careful inquiry
into the lawlessness OF the soldiers, and
on August - eaesed the arrest OF four
