THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES

We are glad to see the Washington
Star come to the defense of the south
ern delegates to the Republican Nat
ional convention at Chicago. For
years southern delegates to the Re
publican conventions have been tar
rets for ridicule and grave accusat-
ions. This year more venom has been
shown than ever and a certain muck
raking weekly of New York city,
which is strenuously championing the
cause of Mr.. Roosevelt, has been most
bitter in Jumping them as a yenal and
ignorant contingent hunting for coin
and always ready to sell to the high
est bidder.
The only way we can judge conditi-
ons at large is by judging conditions
at home and when we see that the
delegates from the Eighth district OF
Virginia assalcd as traducers of their
party and their seats in the conVen-
ton contested by the Roosevelt man
arcment, we are forced to draw the
conclusion that if all or the contests
arc based on similar grounds as the
one here Mr.. Roosevelt will have but
small show of upsetting the men VINO
have been pledged to Mr.. Taft.
We do not presume to know much OIL
the inner workings of the Republican
party but we do know that from all
outward appearances both the city and
district conventions Of the Republican
party, which were held last February
and which instructed for Mr.. Taft,
were conducted along regular and I'M
martial lines. Due notices of both con-
vcntions were published long in ad-
vance of their sessions, the fullest IN
formation was given to the press and
there was a complete absence OF any
steam roller methods which the Re
publicans have found useful in other
communities.
The Star, which is usually well IN
formed on all political matters states
that the same is true all over inc
south. 1t says the southern delegates
arc men of high standing at home
and keep their obligations, persona
and political. The fight in the SOUR
for the President was not made IN
corner. No snap methods were EN-
ploved. Everything was done IN th'
omen and in order, and the instruct
ions issued to delegates were clear
and are binding.
Continuing the Star says that coli
is not likely to control at Chicago Uni

ratcs or delegates from other sections

WILD RUMORS

WASHINGTON. March 29.-Series

OF activity on the part of the American
government from actual Intervention

forces on the border, down to the dis

Mexican capital. surged through Of

All the alarmist stories appeared
TO have had their inception at points
that would be naturally little informed
of the plans OF the two governments.
IL is quite certain that they did not
originate in Washington, and as the
Mexican capital has been cut off from
telegraphic communication with the
outside world since seven O'Clock last
night. they were attributed to the in
surgent press agents.
