Special to the Caucasian:
Washington, d. c., July Z, 1908.
During the past week this writer
has made it a point to discuss the
Presidential situation with every
man OF any prominence whom he has
met from any part Of the country,
and it is remarkable that not a
man yet has said he will vote for
Bryan. A number of the men inter-
viewed have been Democrats, but
they have all said that they thought
it best for the country to elect Taft
and make sure of a continuation of
Roosevelt's policies. Among this
number were several from North
Carolina. They were not only against
Bryan and for Taft, but will also be
~ inC ifch hn
can nominee for Governor, if he
measures up in the State as Taft
does in the nation.
The Manager of the National Cam
paign.
There is much interes here in the
conference that will be held at Hot
Springs, Va, on tomorrow, when
the National Committee will meet
Taft and Sherman to learn their Sc
lection for National Chairman. No
one can forecast who will be select
ed There have been many men
me ntioned for the position who have
the ability to organize and conduct
successful campaign, but it is of
such vital Importance that the chair
man should be a man in whom the
candidates have confidence and with
whom they can work in harmony,
that the selection will be left en-
tirely to Taft and Sherman.
Bright for Republican Success in Old
North State.
The general opinion here is that
if the Republicans of North Carolina
will nominate for Governor a man
who will appeal to the people Of the
State as against Kitchin, as Taft ap-
peals to the nation as against Bryan,
and the candidate for Governor and
other candidates are allowed to Sc
State, that Republican success is al
most certain.
A Reproach to Southern Repub-
icanS.
A few days ago a Southern dele
gate to the Chicago Convention was
here, and he said that when the
resolution to reduce Southern repre-
sentation was under discussion, that
he felt keenly the force of the argu-
ments advanced. He said that when
Congressman Burke charged that it
was not right for edelgates from
Southern States that did not try to
carry their States at the election,
and who did not even try to build
up the party, but who made their
party grow smaller, to have as much
strength in the convention as If their
States were Republican, that every
Southern Republican felt keenly the
reproach and that there was no an
swer to the charge. He said that he
felt that the next National Conven-
ton would surely adopt the resolu-
ton and that he was going home
Republican.
Adams Charged Before the Federal
Courts.
A lawyer from Oklahoma says
that a suit was recently started in
the Federal Court in his State on
behalf of the Indians, who were de-
prived of their property by the de-
cision of Judge Adams Indian Court,
to try to recover their vested rights.
He says that the bill in equity filed
charges of fraud and corruption, and
calls Adams by name and charges
that he was bribed. He says that
the paper out there have freely COM
mented on these allegations, and in
connection Herewith have again
called attention to the denunciation
of Adams by Marshall Mott, the
national attorney of the Greek In
| dians, in the halls of the United
States Senate, when Mott told Ad-
ans to his face that he was 'a d-n
rascal and that he knew that any.
body could buy him." and thai
Adams did not resent. A prominent
Republican from the State here to-
day discussing this matter says thai
no man fit to be Governor of NORTH
Carolina would select Adams for his
campaign manager, not only on &C
count of these charges, but also be
cause he was not competent to leai
a successful fight.
