Is taking steps to effect branch organ
izations in all Of the states in which
the Negro vote Is factor. A cam
paign committee, one member from
each state, will be appointed this
week, and the work Of getting the
brethren into line will be begun in

here last week the League went on
record for Taft and Sherman, and it
will continue to impress upon the col
ored voters the Importance of stand
ing by the regular nominees of the
Republican party.
President Taft expressed genuine
pleasure over the opportunity given
him to sign the bill donating for a
colored Industrial school a tract Of
thirty or more acres Of the marine
hospital site at Wilmington, N. G.. The
bill was introduced by Senator Sim
mons. of North Carolina. The bill,
as passed, was signed by President
Taft in the presence Of three promi-
nent colored men, Messrs. Whitefeld
Mckinlay, Of this city; John e. Tay-
lor, formerly deputy collector Of Gus
toms at Wilmington, and Robert r.
Taylor, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala. A
$4,000 building is to be erected en-
the ground at once by the Wilmington

vests. If. the land is ever used for
other than the purpose for which it
Is granted, the title reverts to the
United States. It embraces seven and
one-half city blocks and is said to be
worth not less than 100000.

This Curley is giving serious consid-

to Coffroth. he believes Flynn and
Palzer will draw a bigger gate in New

since Palzer has made his reputation
in Gotham. New York is hailing Pal

Flynn can trim him it will mean the
support of the east in his fight with

considered likely that he will change
his mind regarding Judge Hook
It Is Already Settled
The encouraging feature in the entire
matter, so far as Judge Hook is con-
cerned, is that everybody, in discussing
the appointment, is going on the as
sumption that Judge Hooks nomination
is already settled within the president 5
mind.
A telegram from the public utilities
commission of Kansas City, addressed
to the president of the United states
was received here. The telegram was
in support of Judge w. c. Hook OF

1t is indirectly an answer to the pro-
test of the Oklahoma railroad com
missioners to President Taft. The
telegram follows:

for appointment to the supreme court
His public acts and his judiciary rec
ord, his high standing in this com
munity, and his reputation for fairness
and honesty have met with the APP
probation of the community generally
The general opinion here seems to be
that if appointed, he will fill the posi-
ton with fairness and honesty. This
is not based upon the approval or DIS
approval of any particular decision,
but because it is generally thought that
he is the kind of man who should be
