DINA Republicans bid their party
brethren in other Southern States 10
recognize President Taft's attitude
toward that section both as the head
OF the Nation ana a. thu head of his
party. Especially pertinent and op-
portufe is the resolution directing
Southern attention 10 the wisdom
and justice OF his course with respect
to the doing away with the refer
rec system OF making Federal aps
poiutments. and the emancipation Of
| the party from other conditions and
policies which retarded its growth.
The North Carolina Republicans
have stated the case OF President Tai,
and 1912 so clearly and convincingiy
that there is no negative side TO the
/ picture"
The resolutions appear In full in
another column OF The Caucasian.
| The action OF the committee merits
all that the Washington Post has so
| well said.
1t should be noted, In addition.
that the committee endorses the rule
established by President Taft that a
postmaster who has served but one
term should be considered prima
facie entitled to another term. The
purpose of this rule is wholesome
from every standpoint. but, OF course,
this rule. like all rules, will have
many exceptions, and where the facts
call for an exception to be made, in
order to maintain the integrity and
efficiency of the rule.
1t also should be noted that the
State Committee squarely and un-
equivocally calls attention TO the fact
that the Republican party gained
many recruits in the last campaign.
Indeed, as the resolutions say. there
is hardly township in the State
where there were not recruits gained.
and that therefore there are to-day
more Republican voters in the State
than there were in the Presidential
election two years ago, when Presi-
dent Taft received $4,000.
While the vote. as registered and
counted in the State. this year, was
not as large as in the Presidential
election, yet it should be remembered
that no party ever polls in an Of
year, under normal conditions, as
large vote as in Presidential year.
Besides. it should be noted that North
Carolina, in this off-year. maintained
its voting strength better than any
other State in the Union; and this ia
remarkable, in view Of the fact that
there were at least twelve or fifteen
thousand disgruntled voters Of the
old referee crowd who seemed to be
organized to try to prevent Mr.. More
; head and his committee from max
ing good in this election.
i Indeed when one analyses the
whole situation and looks all the
, facts squarely In the face, IT ia ap-
parent that the Republican party In
North Carolina Is not only stronger
to-day than ever before, but that it
has laid broad. deep and solid
