Southern Republicans at Chicago.

The following communication, ad
New York Tribune:
"Sir note in your issue Of May l a
claim that the twenty one North Caro-
lima delegates are for Roosevelt. / very
much doubt if he will get four of the
twenty one We shall be for repub-
lican that the north can elect.
NORTH CAROLINA DELEGATE"
This man has the right view of the
matter Under no circumstances should
the southern delegates at Chicago at
tempt the role of arbiter. A nomina-
tion made in a close contest with the
south holding and exercising the bal
ance of power would be worth little if
anything.
Repeatedly the assertion is made that
Mr. Roosevelt is very popular in the
south. So he is-as a man. But not as
political leader. Only last month
came test in Louisiana. There was a
bull moose candidate for governor, run
ming on the strength of his intimate per
sonal and political relations with Mr.
Roosevelt Great expectations were
founded ON the fact But they were dis
appointed. The democrats, as usual
had an easy thing at the polls. Even
the free sugar record of Congress, made
at the Presidents instance, failed to
change democrats into bull moosers.
Notwithstanding this, and other evi-
dences to the same effect, the story con
tinues to circulate that if Mr. Roose.
welt is nominated by the republicans he
will carry several of the southern states
and thus drive the entering wedge into
breaking up political condition which
has injured the south both locally and
nationally And North Carolina is in
cluded among the states likely to be
thus affected
! The paramount question at Chicago
will be to nominate a man acceptable tC

fought The south is not within tha,
boundary She is fixed for the de.

What local conditions require
The ease of Secretary Baker reasons

gone elsewhere for a war minister. Mr.
Baker would probably not have been

President complimented not only the

The Evening Star Newspaper Company
Mr.. Wickershams Interview.

Former Attorney General Wicker
sham in an interview declares for Justice
Hughes for the Chicago nomination. His
views are of general interest. but of par
ticular interest on two points, both of
which have been raised and are being
pressed by the anti-Hughes men. As a
New Yorker. he speaks with knowledge
of the political history of the state. and.
as Il distinguished lawyer. with full ap-
probation of the matter of politics and
the bench.
Observe how clearly and forcibiy Mr..
Wickersham replies to the assertion
often made that Justice Hughes cannot
be placed ON political issues. and hence
his nomination would be a great risk
for the republican party to take:
But the demand for his selection is
more and more insistent. The people
recall the vigor of his administration as
governor. the directncss and virility of
his public statements, the absence of
any wabbling or uncertainty i'll the ex-
precision of his views on public ques-
tions. and the confidence which his ad-
min;stration gave to the people that he
was actuated by but one motive. namely.
q devotion to the interests of the peo-
pie. He has been out of political life.
and. therefore. he has not been party
to any factional differences which have
unhappily arisen in the party during the
last SIX years.
In Mr.. Wickersham opinion, the man
who made an excellent Governor of New
York would make an excellent Presi-
dent of the United States-a PROPOSE
tion very persuasive. and which is ac-
counting for much of the Hughes SEN
tiinent throughout the country. There
is probably no real doubt in the mind
of any we'll informed and rejecting man
about either the ability of Justice
Hughes to measure up to the presidency,
or about the soundness of his republi-
canism.
On the subject OF Justice Hughes at
titude toward the Chicago honor and
what he should do in ease it is be-
slowed on him Mr. Wickersham says:
'.if the nomination is rendered to him
AT Chicago, | do not see how he could
possibly refuse it. His attitude up to
the present time has been scrupulously
correct. A judge of the Supreme Court
cannot be 4 candidate, and cannot ap-
pear to be a candidate; but neither a
judge of the Supreme Court. nor any
other citizen. can say that. if in a great
emergency. the people call to him to
be their standard bearer, he will not
heed the call.
Surely there is no man better qualified
70 discuss this phase of the question
than he who made his way at the New
York bar to place so eminent that he
was called to the Attorney Generalship
Of the United States. He, if anybody,
should hold the bench in great reverence,
and be competent judge of all the pro-
prieties attaching to the station.
The republicans at Chicago may find
their man elsewhere: but if they should
find him on the Supreme bench they
NiE not get refusal from him, nor in
him either an untried or an uncertain
quantity. And this fact-important as
convention time draws near-is now
widely recognized and proving very eff
fcctiye.

The new positions achieved by

result OF two separate thanking
