WEST DOWN ON TAFT.
Mr.. Shipman Gives First Hand Im-
pressiOns on National Politics
Greensboro News.)

Greensboro NeWS.)
Hen. M. L. Shipman, commission
er of labor and printing, was in the
city yesterday afternoon en- route tc'
Raleigh from Lincoln, Neb, where he
had been to attend the convention Of
the InternatioaI Association of Labor
Commissioners Mr.. Shipman made
an address before the convention in
which he gave many interesting facts
about North Carolina The conven-
ton met last year at Hendersonville,
while in 1912 it is to meet in Wash
ington. 80
While in the far west Mr.. Shipman
had an opportunity to learn, first
hand, the trend CT political sentiment.
He said that the farmers of the north
west were badly out with President
Taft on account of his reciprocity
measure. He accounted for the large
crowds that are greeting President
Taft on his western trip by the fact
that they are honoring him as Presi-
dent of the United States. Speaking
of the Presidents wool bill veto he
said that sentiment of the western
section seemed to be against the
President, especially in the agricul-
tural districts. He said that condem-
nation was especially noted in Re-
publican circles.
The west, said Mr.. Shipman, wants
progressive candidate for Presi-
dent and is not going to support Mr..
Taft as strongly as it has in the past
If he is nominated, Mr.. Shipman said
representa- men CT both parties
told him that a progressive Democrat
will carry the country. The west
claims that it has never had a Presf-
dent or ice-presfdent residing west
of the Mississippi river, and if VIII
son is nominated for President, Folk,
of Missouri, will get strong backing
for vfce-president. They want Champ
Clark tc continue as speaker Of the
house.
When the news came. that Canada
had defeated reciprocity Mr. Ship
man said that there was great joy
along the American border. To the
Canadians who attended the conven-

Kitchin and Common People.

No living man in North Carolina
stands so near to the great common
peAple as Governor Kitchin. Had he
lived in the days of the great civil
war in England he would have been
found fighting in the ranks of Crom-
we'll. While he is kingly in his bear
ing and while no cavalier was more
knightly, still Kitchin is man of the
people. The laborer bowed beneath
the load Of daily toll, the farmer scat
tering the seeds or gathering the gol-
den sheayes, the man behind the piow,
at the open furnace, in the busy marts
OF trade, or wherever honest labor is
earning daily bread by the sweat OF
an honest face: thes men are the
men to whces service Governor Kitch-

tion, it brought regret 1t was. claim
ed by some of the Canadians that the
advocates of reciprocity used one ar,
gumept in the cities and another in
the country and that this did not
work.
Speaking of crops, Mr.. Shipman
said that it looked like the west had
enough to feed the whole country for
two years. The immense fields were.
a revelation to him.

submitted his case of carrying con-
=cealed weapon and had been fined
$500 by the judge. 1t seems that
the deputy who had been standing by
the negro prisoner was sent to the
door to quiet the disturbance CT loud
talking. The acting sheriff was also
busy with other matters and the me-.
gro was apparently at his Ieaslfre.
He Immediately made his exit and
so far no traces have been made of
his whereabouts.
There is some speculation as to
when the negro murder case will be
tried It is likely that it will come
up near the end Of this term of court.

Another good soldier of the civil
war has gone to rest. Eli Rhodes
departed from this world at ripe
old age of so year. He was a faith
full citizen and member of the
Methodist church and rarely did he

when his health began to fail.

reader of the Hustler since it has
