WHAT IS BEHIND THIS?
Postmaster General Will Recommend Gov
eminent Owner ship Of TsIegraphIIness.

When official at Washington and
politicians generally rsad in the
papers that the postmaster-gen-
eral would recommend to congress
that the government take over the
telegraph lines, big stir was
created. President Taft himself
was mere or less shocked and
summoned the postmaster general
to the white house. Representa-
tives generally declined to discuss
the subject though number of
them spoke out for and against it..
The recommendation will go to
congress- and then it will be up
to that body.
The telegraph companies got
shock when they heard of the
matter, and one and all expressed
grave doubts about the wisdom of
the government taking any such
step. However, their opinion
isn't to be considered because
they are interested parties.
Representative Moon of the
postc flee G ,mmittee of the house
announced that the subject would
be given careful attention.
speaker Clarkr efused to discuss 80
weighty proposition off hand, as
did Leader Underwood and Mr.
Mann. the republican leader,
handled it gingerly. Others,
both republicans and democrats,
came out strong for government
ownership and strong against the
governments doing a thing that
individuals could do.
One congressman sees politics
in 1t, and declares that Hitch
cock is only trying to draw asten
tiog away from Taft and the com.
ing election.

He (Blease) substantiates his

who are under indictment for graft
ing in South Carolina. Further than
that, the reply that will be made to
him will be as soon as he is relieved

Thinks North Carolina Republicans
Can Vote for Roosevelt and Main
tain Party Regularity.

se1H AIRY ACSuIdElty.
Shelby Highlander, Ind.1
What attitude are Republicans of
North Carolina going to take toward
the split within the party ranks?
There are now tw onew parties.
The Saturday Evening Post this
week says that two new parties have
now taken the place of the old Re-
publicans-the Tories, or reaction
aries on the on hand, and the Pro-
gressives on the other.
Where will North Carolina Repub-
licanism go?
If the rank and file Of Republicans
in this State count for anything, the
party in it's State Convention next
month will commit itself to the Pro-
gressive-the Roosevelt wing-and
will instruct it's electors to support
Colonel Roosevelt
That is what they are doing in a
number OF Northern States. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska,
Michigan, Iowa, the Dakotas, and the
entire Northwest, are some of the
places where the Roosevelt sentiment
is literally taking the country by
storm and none of these States-to
say nothing of many other States not
mentioned-wills stand for a dishon-
est nomination, secured by theft!
North Carolina Republicans can
legitimately instruct their electors
for Roosevelt and still retain their
party name, if they so chose, and this
should be done.
If North Carolina does this, Roose-
Welt will come to this State to cam
paign and to make the Old North
State a campaign battle-ground will
be and advertisement for the State
such as he has not had for more than
fifty years.

Irish World Comes Out for Colonel
Roosevelt.
Shelby Highlander.

Shelby Highlander.
New York, Special.-In it's current
issue, the Irish World, the powerful
weekly journal edited and published
by Patrick Ford, comes out squarery
for the new National Progressive par
ty, in commenting upon the approach
mig convention to be held at Chicago
on August 5th.
In previous editorial the World
predicted the certain defeat of the
Republican party in November, as
the result of the outrage perpetrated
in the Chicago convention, when the
nomination was stolen from THEODORE
Roosevelt; and, placing the response
bility for what happened at the door
of special privilege, said: These
special interests fear and hate Theo-
dore Roosevelt. They, therefore,
passed along the word that he was to
be defeated"
The editorial in the current issue,
discussing the coming Progressive
convention, says:
The time is ripe for the new po-
litical movement. There are thou
sands of Republicans and Democrats
who have lost faith in either the will
ingness or the ability of the two old
political parties to curb the power of
the predatory, who are bent upon de-
spelling the public. The convention
that will meet at Chicago on August
5 will mark a new departure in
American politics that promises to
leave a deep impress upon the future
of the country"
