NORTH CAROLINA.
QUEER RULING MADE
STATE CHAIRMAN MoREHEAD HAS
DECIDED MINORITY Is TO HAVE
DELEG ATEs TO NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

Especial 10 The Richmond NirginianD
RALEIGH, X. c., April l4.--The
Roosevelt tidal wave in North caro-
lima has proved So strong in the
county conventions neld. SO far, that
State Chairman Morehead has made
q last desperate effort To secure at
least a minority representation for
Taft from this State in the Republi-
can National Convention.
His ruling, made At the request Of
Taft followers last evening, in the
Mecl<lenburg convention, IN designed
to accomplish that purpose, 1t is a
broad stretch Of the spirit. rather than
the letter. OF the Republican plan of
organization for this state that the
minority has the right OF representa-
ton in the State convention.
BY this construction 1t is proposed
TO send minority representation from
the counties tn the State convention
and allow the latter to select their
proportion of the delegates to tho
National Convention at Chicago.
Under the procedure heretofore a
county convention selected all tts
delegates by majority vote and the
minority got no delegates.
Report Sent Out Denied.
The Associated Press account pub
lished IN this mornings papers, to
the effect that an agreement had been
reached at a conference of Republi-
can leaders. including Morehead, that
Roosevelt should have sixteen and
Taft eight delegates from North Caro-
lima, is denied in the following dis
patch from Chairman Morehead:

Central America Needs Our Help In
Debt Adjustment.
In Central America the aim has
been to help such countries as Mica
ragua and Honduras to help them
selves. They are the immediate bene-
ficiaries. The national benefit to the
United States is two-fold. First, it is
obvious that the Monroe doctrine is
more vital in the neighborhood of the
Panama canal and the zone of the
Caribbean than anywhere else. There.
too, the maintenance Of that doctrine
falls most heavily upon the United
States. 1t Is therefore essential that
the countries within that sphere shall
be removed from the jeopardy involv-
ed by heavy foreign debt and chaotic
national finances and from the ever
present danger of International COM
plicatfons due to disorder at home.
Hence the United States has been
glad to encourage and support Amer
loan bankers who were willing to lend

habilitation OF such coutries because

protection of their custom houses from
