THE WHITE REPUBLICANS.
Not Federal Oficc-Holdcr or a
Negro Among Delegates.

Columbia, Oct. 27.-There IS not,
according to one Of the leaders, a
Federal office-holder or negro on
the list of delegates to the Republi-
can State Convention, called by Ma
tional Committeeman John G. Capers,
at the Columbia Theater.
Under the party law, the delegates
are limited to the number Of mem
bers of the Lower House Of the Gen
eral Assembly of the State, U24.)
In addition to the delegates them
selves, there are in attendance num-
bers Of alternates and visitors from
different parts Of the State.
The delegates said they .were not
after patronage, but were determined
to organize party that can at least
elect Republicans to Congress from
the South.
Capt. Capers said, before the con-
vention opened:
THE Republican party in the ma
ton will need the two congressman
this year from Virginia, the three
from North Carolina and the three
from Tennessee and the one who is
apt to be elected from Alabama and
Georgia. and he added, "'They may
need one or two from South Carolina
after 1912"
Capt. Capers insists that the at
titude Of himself and associates in
this movement on the negro question
is misunderstood.
I'VE do not care" he said, "what
the Republicans do with the negro in
the West and North, even to sending
negroes to Congress from out there
If they care to, but | am determined,
and so are my associates, that the
Southern negro, who is, with few
exceptions, too lacking in thrift and
interest to register, and who Is a
dead load to the Republican rarty in
the South, shall no longer keep us in
helpless political bondage for the
sake of palliating the negro vote of
the North and West"

CAPERS DENIES THE RUMOR.
No Rupturc with Taft-IIitchcocl<
Not in Sympathy with Movement.

Columbia, Oct. 26.-Capt. John
G.. Capers to-day emphatically de-
MED that there had been a rupture
in the relations between him and
President Taft as a result Of his
calling the white Republican con-
ventiOn for this State, thereby kick
ing the negro from politics in South
Carolina.
While he did not use strong Ian
guage against Postmaster General
Hitchcock, his words in relation to
the Postmaster General were not at
all cordial, and it is evident that
their relations are not OF the closest
kind.
He said tonight that the Post
master General was not in accord
with the movement in this State and
had forbidden the postmasters of the
State to attend.
There are over 200 delegates in
Columbia tonight to attend the con-
vcntion. There are number of
postmastcrs here, but they are not
here as delegates.
Mr.. Capers stated positively to-
night that the negro had been kicked
out Of politics.
