 Ohio Politician to Have Conference With Nominee In Washington-They Will Discuss Politics, Despite Hot Weather, Declares Mir. Taft-He Has Received Many invitations to Speak, Including One at Lincoln, Neb, but Is In the Hands of the Campaign Committee.
 Washington, June 30.-For time it looked as though Postmaster General Meyer and Frank H. Hitchcock were to manage the Republican national committee. But today Hitchcock is the leading candidate again. This devel- opment followed a conference between Mir. Meyer and Secretary Taft. Mir. Meyer felt that if he became chairman or assistant chairman he ought to re- sign from the cabinet, and this he could not do
 The proba bility is, therefore, that Taft will name Hitchcock on July s. Every effort. was made to learn something definite respecting the choice of a. national chairman, but Secretary Taft himself said:

The chairmanship matter will be determined then and not before then"
 Taft Holds Conferences.
 Mir Taft held number of confer ences on the chairmanship.
 By far the most important confer ence in genuine interest was that which he had with delegation repre- senting the political organization of the Republican party In his home state of Ohio. Walter Brown, chairman of the Republican state central commit tee; Henry Williams. chairman of the Republican state executive committee, and x. A. Gilbert, state auditor, came to Washington to urge Secretary Taft favorably to consider Arthur I. yorys in connection with the selection of Republican national chairman.
 They discussed the matter with Sec retary Taft at considerable length, in- dicatIng to him that the appointment of Mir. vorys meant much to the Re publican organization in Ohio. They expressed an apprehension that the se- lection of Mir Hitchcock. for instance, or almost anybody else than Mir. Vorys might tend 10 disrupt the organization In Ohio. which largely had been built up by Mir. vorys. At the conclusion of the conference. although Secretary Taft did not indicate to the delegation what his intentions were. he author ized the members to telegraph to Mir. vorys requesting him to come to Washington and meet him tomorrow.
 Win Talk Politics With verys.
 Secretary Taft when asked what might be the nature of his conference with NIT. vorys replied Iaughingly:
 "weIl. I fancy we shall talk some politics, even though the weather be bot"
 The secretary of the Nebraska state board of agriculture stated that Mir. Taft has promised 10 speak at the state fair at Lincoln in September.
 Mr. Taft made this statement:
 T have received a great many invi- tations to speak. and have replied to some of them that should he glad to do 90 However. none of these re plies made an engagement. shall be entirely in the hands of the campaign committee If they should decide that I am to stay at home and make no campaign. l should stay at home. ! shall go only to the places they desig- nate I shah be very glad to % to Llncoln If I am tO make any speeches. but have made no promise that is not subject to change by the committee"

who have won tributes of approval
from white commanders of high
rank. Some of these aggregations
are stationed in this country, while
others are serving the United

Criticism of the Attitude of South Den
yer People to the Twenty-fifth
Regiment, Which Will Be Sta
toned at Fort Logan.
To TIE RepMbLican-

To The Republican,
1t is with deep chagrin, COM
bined with a feeling of sorrow for
the ignorance of those concerned,
that | have just read, in your issue
of December 18th, of the misguided
feelings of the prominent citizens
of South Denver who purpose pro-
testing against the assignment of
the Twenty-fifth Infantry to Fort
Logan, for station, to replace the
Twenty-first infantry now there.
The Twenty fifth infantry is a
colored regiment, but does not in
clude in its present enlisted
strength any of the so-called
Brownsville rioters,' since this
battalion is out of service and has
been since 1906. 1t is particularly
unjust to protest against this or
der in the face of the fact that the
Twenty-fifth infantry will be re-
turning from foreign service and,
having done its duty for the home
land and the flag during its tour
in the islands, is entitled to a de-
cent reception in the homeland.
L have served with colored troops
and know that no more efficient or
loyal men exist ON earth. They face
hardships and dangers which
would try the souls of the bravest,
and all this with smile and light
heartedness that makes an officers
life with them a pleasure and wins
the admiration of every man.
The record of the Twenty-fifth
infantry will be found to be above
reproach with the single exception
of the Brownsville affair, and these
men, as before stated, are no longer
with the regiment. The whole agi-
tation arises from an utterly mis-
taken idea of the discipline and
character of the regiment in ques-
ton. The officers are, from the
colonel down, as efficient and
painstaking as any to be found
wearing the uniform What, then,
is the real issue behind this blind
prejudice? Is it race feeling? 1t
certainly looks that way.
In conclusion l will add that the
attitude of the prominent citizens
of South Denver remind me of
Kipling's:
For it's Tommy this an Tommy
that, an
Chuck i'm out, the brutel
But it's savior of is country
when the guns begin to shoot. "

and is, the equal of any soldier
Uncle Sam has turned out of his
heterogeneous citizenship.
Soldiers are the same, the world
over. In times of peace, unless
subjected to a cruel discipline,
they are more or less obstreperous.
They are grown-up boys with too
much idle time. This is true regard
less of color. Ever since the i'll
fated occurrence at Brownsville,
whether it be true as charged, or
false, people have been disposed to
hold up their hands in horror when
