AT THE HOTELS.


II ere has been a great revulslon OF
feeling in the South toward the Presi-
dent" said W. n. Mitchell, Of Atlanta,
at the Raleigh, last night.
Mr.. Mitchell was president OF the
Georgia Commission to the jamestown
Exposition. It was through his sugges-
ton and advocacy that Bulloch Hall, the
home Of President Roosevelt's mother,
was reproduced at the Georgia building.
Mr. Mitchell says he is not a poiia-
clan, but is positive that II Roosevelt re-
eeives The nomination for a second term

thus breaking the sei;d South and reunit-
ing the entire country.
"The masses Of the people believe"
continued Mr.. Mitchell, that President
Roosevelt stands for return to the old
affairs-a square deal 10 all the country.
The people feel he should continue in Of
fee to carry to conclusion the reforms
he has inauguTatsd.
Mr. Mitchell further said that from
what he could gather the next President
would be either Roosevelt or Bryan; that
date but Roosevelt, and that by the
wishes Of thousands from the South.
President Roosevelt would have TO bow
TO the inevitable and. regardless Of any
/ personal wishes, would obey the man

also actively engaged, as head OF the
veterans OF the Army Of the Philippines,
in making arrangements for the afliation
of that body with the spanish-American

Speaking on the subject. last night,
Gen Bandholtz said that 3 number OF ths
Philippine army, AFTER leaving the service
and returning TO the United States, did
not know where 10 60, so far as their mil

that account il had been his wish and
that Of his colleagues 70 affiliate with the
strongest and most reliable similar mill
tary organization in the United States. 10
give Philippine veterans, after returning TO
the States, a place where they could fnd
comrades and advice.
The Philippines are prosperous and the
natives are contented. The country is be-
ing built up with American capital. Be

thing. The American authorities eoult
not stop them or interfere, because ther,
IS no law preventing anybody from doing
what the Jap spies did.
Everybody felt relieved when the
President decided 70 send the feet On
