Ward two days before the caucus,

the floor strategy which lead to the

The Guilford representative, quite
naturally, disclaims any pretensions
to preferred placement, but it would
be less than human for him not 70
get serious consideration in the dis.
tribution of rewards.
Whether or not he gets a genuine
plum for himself, he will exert a very
ponderable influence on the Ward
choices, in general.
He was going around as early as
Wednesday morning with his pockets
full of memorandum of committee
preferences, turned over to him by
ambitious representatives in the be-
lief that he will be the patronage dis
pensing Jim Farley" for Ward.
Whatever the result of all the
maneuvering and comforting, how
ever, it is a safe prediction that Ward
will give ample recognition to the
conceded ability of many of those
who opposed him. The committee
chairmen are not going to be chosen
solely by the test Ibid he vote for

of either finance or appropriations,
but the Nash representatives hot de-
NAL in advance of the caucus that he
would accept such an appointment
makes either consummation unlikely
On the other hand, Fenner headed
the agriculture group in 1887 and
there is strong likelihood that he
will again be namedl for that post It
is as sure as anything of the kind
can be, that he can have it if he
wants it.
Another thing is certain, Fenner
will be consulted by Ward before any
appointments are made, and he will
have a very decided influence on
committee personnel.
AS for the finance and appropria-
tions chairmanships, Ward has so far
kept as silent as a dozen oysters on

crop of rumors regarding these places
One school of thought holds that
Libby will extend the olive branch to
his defeated opponent and offer the
finance post to Bryant, who served
with distinction in that capacity two
years ago. 1t would be a graceful ges

ordinary political procedure. It is not

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL AND
LYNN NISBET

Raleigh, Jan. 5.-People around
here still are talking about the magni
ficent tribute paid by the people of
Craven county to Speaker Libby
Ward.
It wasn't floral wreath, or vol
luminous telegram. of congratulations
or anything like that. 1t was the
personal, physical presence of al
most one hundred of Craven's most
prominent citizens, men and women,
in Raleigh for the Democratic cau-
Lus.
They came to encourage and root
for Libby. They filled hotel lobbies
before the caucus, and House galleries
when it convened. They were vocal,
ard vociferous, in their roofing for
heir, favCrite.
Maybe it didn't help, but if the
delegation impressed even one repre-
sentative enough to swing his vote
Ward-ward, it was decisive-as the
switch of one would have left things
deadlocked.

over youngster making his House de-
but, makes the impressive record
expected of him, he will surely win
title of the Little Giant" He's GER
tainly little enough physically to rate
the title.
Waynes Frank Taylor, who wasn't
in the 1887 House, made one OF the
Ward seconding speeches Tuesday
night and his powerful argument on
the geography of the race drew
favorable comment.
A prominent Mecklenburger (not
a member of either house( advised
Libby Ward to ."put Marvin Ritch on
the judiciary committees prob
ably won't worry you as much there
as he might in other places"
Mr.. Ritch hasn't moved for it yet,
but he probably wants to head a spe-
.cial "Stamey relief committee"
Judge Walter D. Siler, of Chatham,
was asked if he were here to get
through a special act of the legisla-
ture to name his baby, the judge hav-
inc served as chairman of the build
ing committee for the new State Of
flee building, for which several
names have been suggested and none
adopted. "The regular session of the
1897 legislature named it," he replied,
"and all this talk is bunk. The stat
ute calls it the State Departments
Office Building, and that is it's right
full, legal name"
]. M. Broughton, Raleigh attorney
and admittedly a receptive candidate
for governor, claims to have broken
I'D ais many schools as the next man.
Now he is wondering if he "broke up"

to adjourn was made.
