Talks With Men of
National Prominence
At Washington. d. @.

g"
Gov. James Is. Nardaman of Mis-
sissippi, who sat in the democratic
national convention at Baltimore as
an ardent Underwood supporter. with
Speaker Champ Clark as his second
choice. is convinced that the Wilson
Marshall ticket selected by his party
is "A winning combination.
PERSONALLY. was for Representa-
tive Underwood. and favored Speaker
Champ Clark az second choice" he
said. However. the majority of the
delegates. as I learned before l had
been in Baltimore two DAYS. favored
Gov. Wilson. With Gov. Marshall of
Indiana he will sweep the country.
"Gov. Wilson is a big man. and I
consider Gov. Marshall one of the
most prominent men in public life
today. 1t is true that it has been
said that Mr.. Bryan's advocacy of
Mr.. Wilson's nomination will injure
but | do not think so.
Il have heen a Bryan supporter for
many wears. but I did not stand with
him in his ttacks on party men in
the convention. II is established be-
vond a doubt that Champ Clark is
one of the biggest men in his party,
and Mr.. Bryan's in%sinuations will not
affect the speakers standing before
the country. l think that Mr.. BRYAN
had a little vinegar in his blood. dis
titled by the impression that he had
not been faithfully supported by the
Murphy-Tammany crowd in past
campaigns
Asked as to the position he thinks
Mr.. Roosevelt will take in the fight.
and the influence which the colonel
will exert, Mr.. Tardarnan replied:
Il do not care to discuss Mr..
Roosevelt. He is as unreliable as an
epitaph and as uncertain as Texas
weather.
h Mississippi governor announced
that he is willing to take any part in
the campaign the situation may de-
mand, He is sure the south will line
up solidly behind the party candidate.
Ihaho's Senatorial Race Hard.
w are going to have a lively i'm
in our state over the election Of a
United States senator" said former
Senator Henry Heitfeld Of Idaho. 81
have not been in Idaho since the
meeting of the republican convention
at Chicago and. of course l do not
! know what the sentiment is at the
present time. or whether the action
of that body in renominating Presi-
dent Taft against the wishes Of the
Roosevelt supporters will have any
effect upon the result.
Senator Borah is a candidate for
reelection. He has made an excel
lent representative Of his state in the
senate. The people of Idaho nave no
cause to complain Of him. IN my
judgment, he will be reelected. al
though there is nc telling what con-
ditions might bring forth. Senator
Borah was a staunch supporter Of
Col. Roosevelt before the nomination
at Chicago. I understand nov that he
has assured President Taft that he
does not intend to bolt the nominee
of the Chicago convention.
Everything in Idaho is on the
boom. We are expecting large and
bountiful crops this summer. and the
people are content"
Underwood May Be Next.
Representative Oscar Underwood
Of Alabama. is n Of the candidates
who came out Of the recent campaign
for the presidential nomination with
flying colors." said Judge L.. A. Nor
ris of Birmingham.
I'm my opinion the majority leader
of the house is certain to be the next
nominee for the presidency on the
ACiilctldiIt tIShct' SIdSI Woou ) dDll-
ity to hold his delegates to the very
last has demonstrated the fact that
the south is tired of eating in the
democratic Kitchen
THE platform adopted at Balti-
more zoe on record as ~favoring one
term for presidents. This will elm
mate Gov. Woodrow Wilson.
oscar Underwood is young. and
can afford to wait. The south is en-
titled to recognition. Four years
from now things will be different.
Underwood is the logical successor to
Gov. Wilson. in case the latter is
successful at the polls in November"
State Educating Negroes.
North Carolina is doing more for
the education Of the negro in the
south than any other state Of the
union" said James A. Jones Of
Carey. N. e.
"Only yesterday our democratic
senator's and representatives prevailed
upon congress to allow the county of
New Hanover to build an industrial
school for the education Of the negro
boys at Wilmington. We Of North
