4 prominent Republican from the
Fifth Congressional District. who was
here this morning, said that while il
was understood that Chairman Ad-
ans was not supporting Congress
man Morehead for State Chairman,
that yet his information was that Mr.
Adams county OF Guilford would
cast the majority, If not q solid. vote
at the next State Convention for
Morehead for State Chairman
He further said that, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Adams and Dun
can had had a serious falling out and
had abused each other severely, that
yet it is reported that they have had
several long and close conferences
during the last week or ten days, and
that it is thought that they have
gotten together to try to beat More
head and to continue the rule of the
ring bosses. He said that the infor-
nation that such a deal was going
on between them would not hurt
Morehead, but would bring TO him
hundreds and thousands of support
ers who stand with President Taft
for the abolishment Of the old ref
cree system.
Another prominent Republican
/ who was present when the Fifth Dis
trict Republican was making these
observations, said that he thought
conditions in the east were as favor.

west. He said that he believed thai
every county that had big Republi
can vote, that is, county that had
voting strength in the rank and
file too large to be dominated By
Duncan and his few men who would
take orders from him, would every
one be for Morehead and against the
referee ring.
Continuing, he said that he had
heard just before coming to Wash.
ington that Mr. Duncan had just be
gun to get really alarmed about the
situation and that he had already
run down to his native county Of
Carteret and there cracked his bos:
whip over the heads of all the mer
who had received jobs from him, and
those who were on the waiting list,
and that his orders were to get bus.
and to save by all means Carterer
County for his machine.
1t sounds little strange that the
big Boss should really be uneasy
about his own county; yet we are
informed that he has made appeal:
to a number of people in the county
to not let it go to Morehead, because
that would be a humiliation to him
as it was his native county.
1t might be observed in passing
that it is really hard upon the pa
triotic rank and file Republicans o.
Carteret County, who unquestionablI
want to see ring rule overthrown anc
a progressive open-door policy adopt

they believe is against the interest!
