PREDICTS
LOCK IN VIRGINIA
States That Second State Re-
publican Convention Will
Be Held There.
C0L0RED MEN CAUSE.
FRIENDS OF THE BLACKS SAY
THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE
BEEN PERMITTED TO VOTE AS
DELEGATES THERE.

Washington, D. c.. April lin the
course of a speech before the Baltimore
conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal church in Washington today,
Senator Foraker expressed his opinion
that the question as to whether the
"Lily-white" delegates selected in the
Virginia republican convention will be
seated. would be one of the most i'm
portant questions TO be settled at the
convention. The cOlOred voters were
not only excluded from most of the
primaries which selected delegates to
the state convention. but The colored
delegates who We're elected to the con-
vCntion were not permitted TO take
part in the proceedings That there
Will be two delegations from Virginia
is now assured. The element of the
republican party which believes color
ed voters should be allowed to partic-
ipate in the republican primaries. will
hold another convention which will
elect delegates to the national con
vention. 1t will be for the national
convention to decide which set of del
eGaLes will be seated.

Is Provided For

Il will not require any additional
buildings at the HOosier Drill branch
of the American Seeding Machine com
pany to accommodate the Kentucky
Drill company Of Louisville. when the
consolidation with the local company
is made.
Fred Carr. superintendent of the
HoOsier plant. states that the removal
Of the Kentucky plant TO this city had
not been contemplated when the new
additions To the local plant were built
Plenty Of accommodations will be pro-
vided. however. Mr. Carr says the
HoOsier has no more ground on which
10 build He expressed the opinion
that the Kentucky plant has been
abandoned because it has not pro, ed
much of money maker in recent
years. The division did not have
travelling men on the road. and de
pended on other inducements to attract
business. The consolidation of the
Kentucky and HoOsier plants will prac-
tically double the capacity of the To-
cal concern.

Probable a Meeting Will Be

Request to Aid in General
Labor Protest.
ELOQUENT APPEAL FOR
ELECTION OF "FRlENDS."
Gompers Says 1T Rests With
Us to Restore Liberties of
The LaborIng Class and to
Save the Nation"

II is believed to be very probable
hat local labor union organizations
will adopt the suggestion of President
GOmpers Of the American Federation
of Labor. urging all union organiza-
tions to hold mass meetings for the
purpose of entering protest against
the recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States. Gompers
has called attention to the courts in
tcrpretation of the Sherman Anti
Trust law, by which the law was ap-
piled 10 strikes and bOycotts of unions
when they affected Interstate COM
merce. He declared the law must be
amended by the present congress or
those who refuse to vote for such leg
islatiOn will be branded as labOr's enc
mics.

in the United States on the evening OF

We had supposed were guaranteed by
the constitution. Resolutions should
be adopted urging upon congress the
passage of an amendment to the Sher

will be held responsible for failure tC
enact such legislation. Labor should

In addition to the holding of the
mass meeting of April ~ or 20. and or

The South UnmanageabIe.

From this time on until the middle
of May the work of choosing delegates
will progress rapidly The South will
come TO bat again toward the end of
this month. The original plan of the
Taft forces was to hold the cOnven-
tiOns down there early, but the situa-
lion became unmanageable and nearly
all the meetings were postponed foN a
month or six weeks. The situation
apparently has not improved The
negroes declare they will not be shut
out of the conventions, and so the
prospects still is that practically ev-

George Westlakc. who until few

cast from society, has come into the
favor of the county commissioners
once more. Yesterday he was granted
permission to return to the county
farm for the purpose of obtaining some
personal property he had left there
when he left hastily last fall. His
leave taking was in the form of a run
for his life, after he had made an at
tack upon the superintendent, whose
son had come to his rescue. At that
time superintendent Napier asserted
Westlalle never could return to the
premises so long as he was in authori-
ty. He presented no objection yester-
day afternoon, however.

Has No Duplicate.

Westlake's career in this county has
been without a duplicate. When a
young man he received a good Cduca

so that he was looked upon as an un-

came addicted to the use Of intOXiCdnts.
From the leader of his community in
the west end Of the county. he fell. He
became a public charge and finally was
given home al the county farm. He
developed trouble making proclivities
and had to be expelled from the inStitl-
ton. The commissioners refused to
aid him further and Trustee Potter
provided him with board and loadging

Eliminated the Negroes.

Tt is beloved that the effect Of the
precedent set by Massachusetts will
be followed by most of the New Eng
land states. The Virginia convention
held under the auspices of the Taft
machine. eliminated the negroes, not
only refusing them seats in the CON
vention, but declining to let them be
heard when they asked permission to
protest, The order went out rom
Taft headquarters that it must be a
white mans convention. and such it
was
