The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1909-01-21

During the campaign the Demo
cratic politicians tried to make the
laboring men believe that the Repub-
licans were unfriendly to their
cause and that they would enact Leg
islation hostile to labor organiza-
tions, but judging from the way the
labor leaders have continued to call
at the White House to pay their re-
spects to the President they know
that the Democrats were only talk
. ing for buncomb.
President elect Taft's Atlanta
speech has frightened the Democratic
leaders who fear a Southern land
slide to Taft-and it might be added
that it also frightened some OF the
so-called Republican leaders in tn,
South-that element that doesn'
want to see the party grow.

Taft's Atlanta Speech.

The speech made by Presidert-elect
Taft at Atlanta. outlining his policy
for building up a strong Republican
party I'm the South, has attracted
much attention here among the men,
bers OF all parties. II is the general
opinion that Mr.. Taft has outlined
a POLICY that will be effective in pro-
duclng very substantial results.
The Washington papers have not
only published full reports OF the
speech. but also have commented
upon the same. An indication of
how the speech is estimated by the
Washington newspapers Is shown
very forcefully by the headlines
used. Among them are the follow
ing:
"Only Men of Character and Abii-
ity to Fill Federal ofices in the
South" a.
mo Appointments 10 be Made
Simply to Get Convention Votes
mo More Professional Politicians
to be Appointed to ofice."
Party Not to be Run to Get Dele
gates from the South to Conven-
tons"
The general opinion Ia that Mr..
Taft has correctly diagnosed the
trouble with the Republican party In
the South, and that he will apply
the correct remedy.
1t has been frequently said within
the last few days, with this policy
Of Mr.. Taft's, that some OF the
Southern States will go Republican
at the next election, or In the near
future. and more than one Democrat
ic Congressman is already feeling un-
easy in his seat

HIS PROMISE TO SOUTH.

The national administration
may be properly held account
able and its policy determined
by the qualifications, fitness, and
standing of the men appointed
to represent 1t in the districts
and States of the section. real
ize, therefore, that expressions
of sympathy with the South and
an earnest desire to bring 1t
closer to the central government
in thought and action and feel
ing will have comparatively lit
tie weight unless this expression
Is accompanied by such appoint
ments in the South as shall
prove this sympathy to be real
and substantial.
All I can say-with reference
to the future policy Of the ad-
ministration in the South-on
this subject is, that I expect to
spare no effort to find out the
facts in respect to the character
of proposed appointees, and, so
far as in me lies, to select those
whose character and reputation
and standing in the community
commend them to their fellow
citizens as persons qualified and
able to discharge their duties
well and whose presence in i'm
portant positions will remove,
II any such thing exists, the
sense of alienism in the govern
ment which they represent

merely for the convention votes it

sincere effort to appeal to the pro-
gressive and substantial part Of the

The President-elect had been in
the cordial and hospitable embrace
of Georgia all day. Recognizing the

demonstrations in the brilliant and

His Great 'Possum.
The Atlanta dinner had long been

ed desire that he be served with

them in profusion, with persimmon
sauce on the side. But just to be
sure Mr.. Taft would not go hungry
the Georgians threw in lot of wild
turkey, Georgia quail and spiced wa.
termelon. It was great, the very
greatest banquet the President-elec1
has attended since he entered this
land of big hearts and big dinners
Mr.. Taft went after his 'possum a:
he liked it. It was the finest in the
lot, the plumpest in batch Of ont
hundred that had been gathered fol
the feast. It weighed eighteer
pounds, almost twice as much as th'
ordinary 'possum, and it was one o
Atlanta's products.
Il Mr.. Taft, after the last 'possun
had disappeared, disclaimed any in
